The Power of Energy Healing for Animals
A Holistic Approach
Energy healing has emerged as a transformative practice in animal care, offering a holistic approach to addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. As a holistic pet health practitioner, I integrate various energy healing modalities to support the well-being of animals. Each technique brings its own unique benefits, creating a comprehensive healing experience. Here’s an in-depth look at the modalities I use and how they impact animal health.
Traditional Reiki: The Foundation of My Journey
Usui Reiki, developed by Mikao Usui in the 1920s in Japan, draws on ancient Eastern practices, including Buddhism and Shintoism, with echoes of healing energy found in various spiritual traditions, including the Bible. This was the starting point of my energy healing journey. This modality involves channeling universal life energy through the practitioner's hands to promote healing and balance. I began using Reiki with my own cats, observing how the energy could profoundly affect their well-being. However, I soon noticed that direct application of Reiki
sometimes overwhelmed them, causing discomfort and leading them to leave the session.
Instead of pushing them to stay, I adapted my approach by offering distance Reiki. This method focuses on holding space and offering energy without the need for physical presence, which many animals find much more soothing. In 2022, I turned my passion for Reiki into a business, founding Calming Creek, and transforming my hobby into a professional practice.
Reiki has been shown to help animals reduce stress, alleviate pain, and support overall well-being. It is gentle and non-invasive, making it suitable for pets of all sizes and temperaments.
Let Animals Lead (LAL) Reiki: Empowering Animals in Their Healing Journey
Discovering Kathleen Prasad's Let Animals Lead (LAL) Reiki method resonated deeply with me. LAL Reiki emphasizes empowering animals to take the lead in their healing process, rather than directing energy at them. This approach aligns perfectly with my own practice of respecting each animal’s autonomy.
LAL Reiki formalized and refined the practice I had been developing, focusing on creating a safe space where animals can engage in their healing journey at their own pace. I no longer beam energy at the animals. This method has not only enhanced my work with animals but has also proved valuable in sessions with humans.
LAL Reiki allows animals to guide their own healing, fostering a deeper connection and respecting their personal boundaries.
BioScalar Wave Therapy: Disrupting Chaos for Healing
BioScalar Wave Therapy uses scalar waves to promote healing at the cellular level. I am continually amazed by its ability to disrupt the chaos caused by disease and support the body’s natural healing processes. Scalar Wave Therapy has proven profoundly effective, and I often recommend it as a trial when traditional methods have not yielded results. The outcomes are frequently impressive, demonstrating the modality’s remarkable potential.
I once worked with a pup experiencing troubling neurological episodes. After just one session with Scalar Wave Therapy, her vibrance and energy noticeably improved. Following two additional sessions, the episodes stopped, and I was able to provide detailed information to her pet parent, which they took to the vet. This allowed for a more tailored treatment plan. Scalar Wave Therapy has also proven beneficial for humans, helping to reduce knee pain, ease the pain of grief, and remove limiting beliefs.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques): Breaking Emotional Barriers
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), or tapping, combines acupressure and psychological techniques to address emotional and physical issues. By tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on emotional distress or discomfort, EFT helps release trapped energy and promote healing.
EFT is particularly effective for addressing trauma, loss, fears, and resource guarding in animals. It facilitates the release of trapped emotions and helps break up negative habits, enabling animals and their human companions to move forward with greater ease.
EFT, or tapping, has been highly effective in addressing a variety of issues in animals. I’ve successfully used it to help dogs overcome their fear of thunder, address trauma from hoarding situations, and process grief from losing a pet. My own dog has also benefited from EFT, experiencing significant relief from his anxieties. This technique helps release trapped emotions and facilitates healing, providing noticeable improvements in emotional well-being.
TTouch: Building Trust and Calm
TTouch (Tellington TTouch) involves gentle touch and circular movements to enhance physical and emotional well-being. I find this modality especially helpful during in-person sessions with animals that are fearful or in a state of distress. TTouch helps build trust and promotes relaxation, making it effective for animals that have become catatonic or exhibit extreme anxiety.
Fact: TTouch can address behavioral issues, improve communication between animals and their caregivers, and enhance overall confidence and relaxation.
Crystals: Channeling Earth’s Healing Energy
Crystals have been used for centuries to support healing and balance. In my practice, I incorporate crystals both in-person and remotely. Sometimes, I receive intuitive messages about which crystals might be beneficial for a particular animal's needs. For instance, amethyst can be calming for anxiety, while rose quartz fosters emotional healing.
Crystals resonate with the animal’s energy field, offering support and balance on both physical and emotional levels. They can complement other healing practices and enhance the overall effectiveness of sessions.
Animal Communication: Understanding and Connection
Animal communication, or telepathy, involves tuning into the thoughts and feelings of animals to gain deeper insight into their needs and experiences. I consider this the foundation of my practice. By understanding an animal’s perspective, I can better tailor my healing approach to their specific needs. Animal communication is invaluable for addressing unwanted behaviors, emotional and physical well-being, and end-of-life care.
Animal communication is the cornerstone of my practice, allowing me to understand issues from the animal’s perspective. This approach helps me get to the root causes of behaviors, which are often misinterpreted by humans. For example, many people believe their cat pees outside the box out of spite or that their dog is aggressive without cause. In reality, these behaviors are often ways animals communicate that something is wrong, and understanding their perspective can lead to more effective solution.
Energy healing offers a range of powerful tools to support your pet’s well-being, from Reiki and Scalar Wave Therapy to EFT, TTouch, crystals, and animal communication. I often see clients who’ve tried everything else without success. If you’ve been through the wringer and are still seeking help, let’s connect. Book a session, and let’s see how these techniques can make a difference for you and your pet.
