Healing For Animals. Everything has a life force. The spirit within the body that animates and moves us, bringing us to life in physical form. This life force, or chi, must be cared for and maintained in order to provide the physical body with the best possible health and vitality. Our animals connect with us on a deeply emotional level, often reflecting our own emotions and health back to us. When caring for our animals, then, it is vital to consider their chi so we can help them have a long and healthy life.
We can promote chi by avoiding stress and toxins, and promoting good nutrition, a loving environment, exercise and play. Movement is critical for balancing and maintaining chi, keeping the life force flowing, especially when external factors compromise our animals’ health. However, toxins, stress and poor nutrition are the main external factors that cause dis-ease. These challenges contribute to energetic imbalances, changing the vibration of not only the energy field, but also the physical body. In Chinese medicine, low vibration or stuck chi create energetic imbalances that manifest as disease.
Symptoms of energetic imbalances are often first diagnosed after your animal has been hiding the disease for some time. Treatment in western medicine often becomes a management of symptoms rather than working with the body’s energy field.
All energetic imbalances may be referred to as DISHARMONY in the body. A body that’s not in-tune with the flow of chi. Disharmony can reveal itself as arthritis, torn ligaments, susceptibility to infections and parasites, aggressive behavior, depression, or inability to integrate with other animals or people. Well-functioning chi is the target when it comes to wellness. You want aging with ease and grace, fewer injuries, and if there are injuries, they heal faster. You want NO disease, happiness and contentment with a high-quality of life. This is what we all want for our animals, and it’s possible with a holistic approach that incorporates energy healing solutions.
Imbalances
All physical illnesses and emotional traumas have vibrational roots. In fact, even heavy metals and other toxins carry their own vibrations which have the effect of lowering the body’s frequency to interfere with healing. These heavy metals and toxins come from the environment, food, water, medical treatments, vaccinations, and many other sources. They interfere with every biochemical reaction in the body, causing great stress to cellular health and regeneration. We use sound and detoxification to release stagnation, increase the flow of chi, and create balance, wellness, and harmony. One without the other offers a partial benefit, so I recommend both for ultimate healing success.
Vibration
We are not just ONE frequency, but in fact, many frequencies comprising a whole being. Finding frequencies that resonate with the body help support life force. Sound can work in conjunction with detoxification, providing basic needs by finding the frequencies and points on the body that resonate – getting chi unstuck, increasing or calming energies as needed. Dogs and cats are creatures of the earth who have chosen to live among and with humans. Rather than live in the wild, connected to nature, they protect, love, and
serve their human families. Living indoors, many animals become entrained to our vibrations, often taking on energies that don’t support their health and wellbeing. Being In-Tune with your animals, means resonating with their own vibration, becoming aware of warning signs of toxicity, deficiencies, excess, or stuck energy. Exercise, play, movement and healthy lifestyle help balance chi. When these activities aren’t enough, and as animals take on stress, toxins, or have poor nutrition, energy systems in the body and the etheric field can benefit from detoxification and Sound Therapy.
Enhancing and Building Chi
Life force can be encouraged to flow more easily with the use of detoxification
and resonant sound therapy on acupuncture meridians, trigger points, and on chakras. Dissonances are frequencies that are not harmonious. Dissonant
frequencies can resonate with disharmonious frequencies in the body, causing
them to vibrate and move out of the body.
Dissonant frequencies can be created by using two tuning forks of different
magnitude to create balanced Consciousness. These frequencies open the
empathic, emotional yin side of the brain. For animals, it relaxes them to allow for better integration of other frequencies.
While dissonant frequencies offer balance, sound waves from two forks of the
same frequency combine to make bigger waves, amplifying the effect. Two OM tuners can be sounded together and placed near each other. For example, try placing each OM tuner on either side of the spine near the same vertebra. Two OM tuners can be used for the entire session.
Animals are extremely sensitive to vibrations. Especially sound. Their range of hearing is much more acute than that of humans. Furthermore, dogs hear five times better than humans, and cats twice that of dogs.
Healing for Animals
I recommend weighted Body Tuners, as a softer approach and the best solution in working with animals. Body tuners fall in the perfect range of affecting change in the physical and emotional realm. They may be used on the spine at the location of chakra energy centers. Create balance with single tuning forks, and a connection with complementary tuning forks.
Trigger points are the areas of the body that demonstrate an imbalance. Usually, this imbalance is in the form of pain, inflammation, or weakness. If the animal allows a body tuner to be used in the area of pain, and if there’s no open wound, select a body tuner of your choice. If this is not possible, select a corresponding body part (the opposite knee, for example) to accept the vibration.
Energy is intelligent. It will flow where it needs to go, so don’t worry too much
that you might not have exactly the right location to apply the tuner.
I recommend starting with points along the spine and on either side of the spine. Most animals love this treatment and become balanced and revitalized.
Guidelines
Before working with animals in any capacity, be sure to follow these important
guidelines.
1. Be grounded and centered (use OM). Clear your own energy field. If you’re
not calm and centered, the animal will pick up on your uncertainty or
stress.
2. Create a safe space in which to do your work. The area should feel free of
clutter and noise, calm and comfortable for both you and the animal.
3. Don’t rush. Patience is key when working with animals. Charging in, armed
with shiny metal can feel intimidating to the animal. Take your time for you
and the animal to get settled. Even offer a non-vibrating fork for your
animal to sniff before starting.
4. Get on the ground, if possible, and stay at their level. Avoid putting the
animal on a table or any other place that’s unfamiliar.
5. Avoid scents and fragrances or perfumes.
6. Have all your tools handy and within reach.
7. Do not place the activator near the animal where the vibration of striking
can be felt. Instead, I recommend wearing the activator by either placing it
in your pocket or in an apron pocket. Be aware of the sound the activator
makes, too. It should be soft and non-intrusive.
8. Less is often better. Less time, fewer forks, fewer points. For a first session,
a little goes a long way. Don’t feel like you have to use every fork or do a
longer session.
9. Pay attention to the animal and watch for signs of stress or distress. Never
restrain or contain an animal who doesn’t want treatment, or feels
complete after just a few minutes. Instead, every method you might have
used in a session can be used in a distance healing session, or a very brief
in-person session.

Protocol for Healing
I always recommend beginning the healing journey with a detoxification
protocol. This is imperative for removing heavy metals and other toxins like
pesticides, fertilizers, volatile organic compounds, and other unseen killers.
Once the toxic burden is lifted, even a little, sound healing has a more
profound and longer lasting effect. You can find recommendations for animal
healing on my listing page on Petworks.
In addition, I’ve put together a set of weighted body tuners that work well
with animals (and people). If you choose to order these tuning forks through
me, I’ll send you the additional information which includes step by step
instructions on how to use them specifically for your situation.
