Noah's Ark Essences
Much of my healing work with animals involves healing emotional distress; and specifically helping animals that have been abandoned and or abused by their human carers. Many of the issues animals present due to past trauma and abuse manifests in behavioural issues and physical dis-ease.
We are now beginning to understand that these traumas remain within the energy field, organs and body of the animal, until such time as they can be brought to the surface for healing. Cases of abuse and abandonment are deep wounds that take time to heal and flower and gem essences as well as other types of essences (tree, environmental, shells and fossils) provide very powerful healing for these issues as they address the root cause behind the distress. Animals also respond very positively to them as they work their magic in allowing the animal to bring their pain and trauma to the surface so that it can be released and to start the process of feeling safe in the heart.
In my experience many of the animals will have a layering of issues and each issue has to be taken separately before moving onto the next issue. This is especially true of animals that have been abandoned or abused in any way. If we imagine an onion with its many layers, we can begin to understand that the issues traumatised animals present can also have many layers.
Essences allow us to help the animal work through these layers at their own pace. Sometimes the biggest challenge in this work is helping the owner to understand that what we are doing isn’t going to mask the symptoms, that we are in effect going to help the animal to heal the core issues, and this can take quite some time; so I ask them not to expect a quick fix. Some animals release their pain and trauma fairly quickly, others take longer but the work is always done at the pace of the animal. I find that dowsing helps me to connect with the animal and give me an indication of whether it needs to continue with the same essence or whether we can move onto a new set of essences to address other remaining issues the animal has yet to heal. This takes out any ‘guesswork’ on my part, and ensures that we only move on when the animal has released and healed its first set of issues. At times I sense that communicating with the animal is needed and this in turn helps to establish co-operation and making the animal aware at a higher level that it is receiving help to heal its past wounds. This communication really complements the work I do with flower and gem essences and isn’t something I tend to do in isolation.
