Rini, the tiger and Celeb-Reiki

We find this week's Celeb-Reiki in Van Vihar National Park in Bhopal, India. Her name is Rini, and she's a beautiful white tiger who has cancer. She's 18 years old, which is about 80 in tiger years, and three months ago when she was diagnosed, doctors recommended she be euthanized. Instead, the park director got a second opinion and Rini is now receiving not only chemotherapy, but Reiki as well -- not hands-on, of course. Her condition has improved, and one of her Reiki practitioners says "the tigress seems to be accepting Reiki well. She seems relaxed," according to a report in Down to Earth Magazine.
