ANIMAL COMMUNICATION AND HEALING DURING EMERGENCIES

We are living in a time where people as well as whole species of animals are being totally toxified by our environment and even the food and water that we consume. This presents a whole aspect to healing that Vets and healers of some 20-30 years ago did not have to contend. Vibrationally everything has been sped up and the toxic effects of fear have created their own traumas.

Therefore, when we try to address health and healing, we must, by the very nature of the current situation, take a very broad and open-ended view of cure.

Bottom line, to begin, one must understand that animals are enlightened beings not underlings below humans. Communicating with them does not mean telling them, it means listening to them. Allowing their thoughts and voices to permeate our consciousness so that we can truly help them and not just decide what they need. You have no idea how thrilled animals are when someone listens to them for a change and they totally open up. They don’t care if you have a degree or if you studied in Harvard. They either feel good about what you offer or they don’t and when you are on target, the reaction is often instant because they have no walls up against alternative anything.

When we use Holistic Cures for people, we must address the Mind.,Body and Spirit and it is the same with our animals.

Often the trauma that we need to treat in animals with emergencies and rescues is more related to emotions and spirit than a simply physical solution and sometimes all parts of the being are in distress.

I was part of the triage team that worked with the Katrina Hounds as they were fresh off the trucks and vans from New Orleans and my job was to help after they were bathed and seen to by Vets, to help them deal with the emotionally shattering experiences that they had.
I am well versed in using Healing Touch, Flower Essence Therapy and Gem Elixirs on recues,sanctuary animals as well as pets and the results are amazing. I have used many different essences and remedies

over the years and this knowledge came in very handy for the Katrina Rescues.
Green Hope Farms Flower Essences over nighted me hundreds of dollars worth of supplies when they heard of my work and this company makes an incredible line of Flower Essences especially for animals but they are great for people too. Often people who rescue have had some of the same life experiences as those that they rescue..

I made some combinations for the rescuers themselves who were bearing the pain of being in the trenches getting the animals out of harm’s way. It is so important to keep the helpers healthy in an emergency or the whole effort will collapse.

Animal Emergency was very useful to deal with pain and fear. When you see that wide eyed terror in the animals eyes or if they are wounded or in shock,this is the remedy of choice and it can be put in the water, the mouth or spritzed onto the animal or its space depending on how traumatized they are. I knew that many of the animals would be untouchable and dangerous at least at first after their ordeal so I made several spritz bottles and had great success spraying down their spaces in the barn so that they could feel peaceful inside. Sometimes I would do a drive by spritz if the animals were whizzing by me and too hyper to tend to by mouth and you could see them just settle right down. If you do not have the Greenhope Animal Emergency, Bach’s Rescue Remedy which is available in health food stores everywhere is a good second choice. One wonderful and basic essence from the Greenhope Essences is Abandonment and Abuse which no shelter or rescue group should be without as it is the most consistent problem for all rescued animals. Almost every behavior problem that I have ever treated with rescues, be they tigers or puppies, is related to either being abandoned, abused or both so when you treat that trauma first, almost everything else starts to fall into place. If you try to treat behavior problems without going to that source, you are usually in for a long, frustrating and often futile process. Another good remedy is called Arbor Garden and it makes animals and people feel as if they are being held by Angels. This is the Spiritual relief and safety that is needed. I discovered that it also has anti inflammatory uses as well when I treated one of my cats with it for snakebite til I could get her to the Vet. Now I know that there are different homeopathics to treat specific snake and spider bites and those are good to have on hand.

I also make my own Gem Elixirs which work splendidly on the animals as well. One of the best is one made from the Essence of Lithium Quartz and as you can imagine, the properties of Lithium in its natural form can be most soothing for stressed out animals and their keepers as well. I have seen monkeys who were struggling to adjust to their new environments simply relax and mellow out after I spritzed them with some of this Elixir.Horses that were being trailed became quiet and calm after spraying them before the trek.

There are many more essences that one could use for various and sundry ailments but these few will put you in good stead in most emergencies. In future articles, I can certainly go into more detail regarding a Holistic First Aid Kit and more communciation tips.

Hopefully this country will never again see the incredible mistakes that were made in the separating of people and animals during the evacuation from Katrina and hopefully we now have better protocols on all levels. We learn, we grow, we progress and when this happens, the entire planet elevates and heals. May we all be instruments for such positive changes especially for the beloved animals.
