ENERGY MEDICINE
Ph.D. Energy Medicine
Energy medicine is a collective term used to refer to a variety
of alternative and complementary treatments based on the use, modification,
and manipulation of energy fields. On the level of quantum physics we know
that everything is energy. I use the energy fields located in, affecting,
or emanating from the body of the animal, identified as biofield energy therapies.
The purpose of energy medicine can be broadly defined as the healing of mental,
physical, psychology, and/or spiritual disorders by rebalancing the energy
fields of the animal or by drawing upon spiritual energies or forces for such
healing. Some of the energy based modalities that I use in working with animals
are as follows:
Therapeutic Touch (TT)
is an effective form of energy medicine that is a non-invasive, gentle method
of healing derived from an ancient laying-on of hands to the client. The principle
behind TT is restoration of balance and harmony to the energy field, or aura
that extends around the body.
Reiki is a gentle, effective energy healing method,
which treats the whole individual. With Reiki, the healing energy of the universe
flows through the practitioner’s hands to the animal, causing a shift
toward health at the deepest levels.
Tellington TTouch is a form of bodywork comprised
of a variety of circles, lifts and slides done with the hands and fingertips
to enhance overall health and well-being.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) uses tapping on
meridian points to assist the release of emotional blocks to health and well-being.
Generally I do not tap directly on the animal but use a surrogate.
Matrix Energetics uses a Two-Point Technique so the practitioner can observe and access the quantum level for transformation and healing.
Animals, including wild animals, intuitively recognize and appreciate energy
therapies and their ability to heal. Animals often quickly learn to seek
it out on their own. Energy therapies do not cause stress, discomfort, or
pain, and yet they yield effective results. Energy therapies can heal at
all levels of an animal’s being and can be used for any issue that
arises for animals.
What are the Benefits of Animal Energy Medicine
For healthy animals energy medicine sessions help
maintain health by
• Keeping balance and harmony
• Enhancing peace and overall well-being
• Developing deep connection and understanding
For animals that are ill or injured energy medicine sessions helps
restore health by
• Assisting the healing process holistically at the deepest levels
For dying animals, energy medicine modalities are a gentle way
to
• Provide comfort, relieve pain, fear, and anxiety
• Ease the transition from life
• Support and help with grief and fear for the human companion as well
What Happens During an Animal Energy Medicine Session
When engaging in an energy medicine session, I generally begin
the session a short distance from an animal, rather than with my hands directly
on the animal, to give the animal a chance to experience the energy and evaluate
it in his/her own way and own time. Animals are more sensitive to energy than
people and quickly understand what the universal life energy is and its healing
potential. During a session the animal may come close to my hands and move
away several times and often end up lying close by or under my hands, showing
me which areas are most in need of healing.
After an animal becomes acquainted with the feeling of the universal life
energy, he usually becomes very relaxed and often falls asleep for some period
of the treatment. Animals frequently show their gratitude by licking my face
or hand, nuzzling me, or making happy, satisfied sounds after the session
is complete.
With people, energy therapies are most often associated with feelings of peace
and deep relaxation and this is true for animals as well. Energy therapies
can also be experienced as a sensation of mild heat, vibration, or pulsing,
especially when a treatment is given with the healer’s hands directly
on the animal.
The results of a session are usually noticed soon after a session or over
the following several days to a week. It may become clear that a physical
injury or illness was healed more rapidly than expected or that an emotional
or behavioral challenge has shifted and released. Deeper or longer-standing
challenges may take several treatments to begin to shift and regular treatments
for a period of time to facilitate the process of working through and
letting go of the issues that need healing.
Energy medicine modalities find the matters that are most in need of healing,
and these matters may not be what is expected. Physical issues can have emotional
root causes, and when it is in the best interest of the animal, energy work
can help him to resolve and release these matters and return to more robust
emotional and physical health.

Disclaimer
The energy medicine modalities I use are not to replace regular veterinary care. They are non-medical modalities which complement all healing methods, including traditional veterinary medicine and are a valuable component of an integrative approach to healing and health maintenance.
I do not diagnose or treat any Animal Medical Problem as defined by Oregon’s Veterinary Practice Act. If your animal does have an Animal Medical Problem, Oregon’s Veterinary Practice act allows me, as a practitioner of alternative or complementary methods, to work on your animal with a referral from your veterinarian.
I have a Ph.D. in energy medicine. However, I am not a medical doctor nor am I a licensed healthcare professional.
Please seek appropriate medical care for your animal.
