A Simple Way to Support Your Animals Right Now, Part 2
Using crystals, flower essences, and herbs to support dogs and cats at home (and really any animal in your care)
If you read part one, you already have the foundation.
This is where it gets more specific.
This is where we move beyond color into how I actually layer crystals, flower essences, and herbs in a session, and why that matters.
This is the part you can’t fully replicate from a chart. But understanding it will change how you see your animal’s needs.
Crystals as a companion practice
Once you feel comfortable with color therapy, crystals are a natural next step. They work on the same energetic principle. Each crystal carries its own vibrational frequency that corresponds to specific chakras, but they add another layer of specificity that color alone doesn’t always provide.
Think of color as the broad invitation and crystals as the more targeted support. You can use them together or separately. There are no strict rules here. Trust what you’re drawn to, and trust what your animal is drawn to.
Place them near the color you’ve already laid out, or on their own in spaces your animals frequent. Let your animal approach on their own terms. I generally don’t recommend placing crystals directly on an animal unless you have proper training in crystal healing. Some animals will be immediately drawn to certain stones. Others will ignore them completely. Both are valid.
And don’t overthink your selections. If you’re standing in a crystal shop and something catches your eye, there’s usually a reason. Your intuition is part of this practice too.
This is where this practice really starts to come together.
I’ll walk you through how I layer crystals, flower essences, and herbs together, and how you can begin working with them more intentionally at home with your own animal.
