Animal Healing and Gemstone Therapy

This week we will be discussing Gemstone Therapy. It is interesting that in this wonderful world in which we live that we are provided with everything our bodies need to be healthy. Our body is actually composed of two parts: the visible physical body, and the invisible energy body. The visible physical body is that part of the human body that we see, touch, and are most acquainted with. Our aura is that invisible luminous energy body, which interpenetrates the visible physical body and extends beyond it. At this stage in our evolutionary state we require protein, minerals and vegetables, in other words food, to keep these bodies operating optimally, but they also must be fed energetically, which we generally receive through sunlight, but can be done through many different forms. The body is capable of healing itself at a certain rate depending upon the physical health of the individual. If a person has a wound or burn, the body will heal itself and recover within a few days to a week depending upon its physical condition. In other words, even if you do not apply antibiotic on the wound or burn, the body will repair or heal itself. For life to exist, the body must have prana, chi, ki or life energy. The healing process can be accelerated by increasing life energy on the affected part(s) and on the entire body. When energy is applied to the affected part of the body the rate of recovery or healing, increases tremendously. What we call miraculous healing is nothing more than increasing the rate of self-recovery of the body. There is nothing supernatural or paranormal about energy healing. It is simply based on natural laws that most people are not aware of. The older we get and the more our minds become involved in the issues, the more difficult it seems for us to accept the energy healing work, but for children and animals, it works almost instantaneously. Gemstone therapy is a form of alternative medicine based the idea that gemstones carry certain properties or vibrations that can be beneficial to the body in varying ways. Some stones may help alleviate a physical ailment, but more commonly, stones are used to help with emotional issues. There are some very simple crystal healing techniques that can be used to help your pet or animal friend to be more comfortable during times of stress or illness. Where a human will relate to and embrace their pain, an animal with react to it. Crystals (although some other stones will also) amplify emotion, while some other stones will dissipate or sedate. You can place stones underneath your pet bed or pillow being cautious of sharp edges and position the stones to be comfortable and safe for your pet. Make sure the stones cannot be reached and eaten or chewed by your pet. If the crystal energy is too intense, your pet will be agitated and may not want to rest in their bed. If your pet likes the crystals, you will see an improvement in their health within a few days. Hold the crystal in your hand, and starting a few inches away from the affected part or injured area, rotate the crystal clock-wise. Take your time; go slow, breathe gently and evenly. Animals express their emotions with movement, so watch if your pet wants more or tries to move away. Get a small pouch that can attach to a collar and place up to three crystals inside. If you put too many crystals in, your pet may feel disoriented. Be careful that the pouch does not interfere with movement or cause it to be caught on anything. Warm up crystals in the sun before your healing session. The sun gives masculine, active yang energy to the crystals. Apply the warm crystals to injured areas. If you are using an ice bag to reduce swellings, try a few tumbled Smoky Quartz with the ice to help unblock over-active or inflamed areas. Make sure they are natural Smoky Quartz and are not radiated as are sold in so many stores today. Add Rose Quartz (for calming love) or Amethyst (to raise the vibratory rate and keep off fleas and ticks) to your pet’s water bowl or bucket. Make sure the bowl is not plastic, but is glass, ceramic or stainless. The crystal will leave its energy signature in the water. You can also drop a crystal into a glass bottle, fill it with sterile water and leave it in the sun and moon light for 24 hours and add this to the animal's water. Try this and see how the water feels on you tongue. The healing properties of stones and crystals have been well documented throughout history and many ancient cultures and civilizations built sacred sites and structures within powerful grid patterns creating healing temples. Often entire cities were constructed on grid lines which lined up with certain energy fields and power spots of the Earth, and became schools of instruction teaching how to utilize the energy of the stones and crystals as well as teach of technological advances throughout the ages. Crystal and stone layouts may be placed on or around an animal that is recuperating or is in recovery as long as the animal is not mobile. Stones may be sewn into a blanket and placed into the animal’s bedding to energize and balance certain area of the body as well as to discharge toxic and stressful energies. When an animal is mobile it is best to place the stone(s) directly on the animal’s collar, preferably so that it is in or near the heart center (more on this next month). The stones have their own individual energy patterns and can be used for that reason or clear quartz crystal may be programmed for a particular intent. It is generally suggested that you attach the stones to the animal’s collar so it hangs in the heart chakra area. Wednesday we will be discussing stone properties.
