Enough Already!

Last week Stormy was incredibly lame. It looked like he’d injured his right stifle (hind leg). It was so bad that I feared a possible torn ligament. I started analgesic therapy immediately. Stormy said he slipped outside, and I saw/felt him in a creek. 

Luckily, the local vet was coming the next day. He concurred that it was his right stifle.

I made plans to take Stormy to an equine clinic for radiographs and ultrasound. I started vibrational remedies and color therapy right away along with using a zero point energy wand to promote healing.

Because his turn out was limited, I hand-grazed him for 45 minutes each day.

I arrived at the clinic anxious to assess the damage and add whatever traditional medicine was appropriate. Unexpectedly, Stormy was sound. I attributed an adrenaline effect to his remarkable improvement knowing full well the wand, remedies and colors had contributed as well.

I was impressed with the vet immediately. The radiographs looked good, which was a relief. The ultrasound showed any old injury in his cartilage, but his ligament was okay creating a huge sigh of relief. The vet switched Stormy to corticosteroids, both orally and topically with another two weeks of rest. 

While the vet examined Stormy, I mentioned what I did for a living. He admitted to being skeptical, but in a manner that showed curiosity. I explained what I’d been doing for Stormy therapeutically. He looked surprised and asked why I came to him. I told him I wanted all traditional medicine had to offer too, especially it’s imaging techniques.

Having been a pharmacist, I’m open to all forms of healing. I combine whatever is necessary to achieve a successful outcome. I want the best of traditional, vibrational and spiritual healing, which I believe are not mutually exclusive.

Before we departed, I offered to work with an animal for him. He asked me to help his tech’s dog who is terrified of gun shots. I smiled at the universe’s orchestration. Thanks to Stormy, the tech’s dog will get help and become a teacher for this wonderful, yet skeptical, equine vet. I rest much easier knowing an excellent vet is only an hour away from Stormy, but enough already….

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone!

Stormy is on the far left.

Seeing Is Believing

Last week, I watched my well-trained, respectful horse have an emotional meltdown. It was upsetting, yet extremely educational, to observe. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it; both his meltdown and his recovery.

After a week of being out on the new ranch’s almost 200 acre pasture with several horses, Stormy embraced the roll of herd leader, or as I termed it, “Fury - King of the Wind.”

Adding three new horses really pushed him over the edge. His self-proclaimed position of protector turned my manageable horse into an out-of-control bundle of nerves.

Having raised Stormy from a foal, I know him. The horse I was seeing in no way resembled mine. He became so fractious that he bordered on dangerous. It is crucial you have a horse’s attention when you’re handling them, especially one Stormy’s size. In all my years with horses, I’d never seen such a radical change in behavior. While I found it fascinating on one hand, I was concerned for both our safety.

Being an empath, I felt what Stormy was feeling. He was too far gone to even attempt communicating. Knowing what he was feeling helped me diagnose the problem. The past week’s new routine had triggered memories of mustang lives; lifetimes of leadership. All those emotions were fueling the meltdown I was witnessing. Luckily, I had a very effective antidote for Stormy’s “dis-ease;” Spiritual Response Therapy.

The next morning, I cleared Stormy with SRT before heading to the ranch. He’s been cleared before for other much less explosive issues, so I knew the healing work wouldn’t take too long to complete; probably less than a day.

I found a slightly improved version of my horse when I arrived. At least, I didn’t feel he was dangerous, since I could get his attention. After working Stormy in the ring, I decided he was manageable enough to join my friends on our inaugural trail ride. It was simply spectacular; both the natural beauty and Stormy’s transformation.

Stormy’s meltdown provided me with another peak into the power available from the spiritual realms. While first-hand experience is the best teacher, I hope my master teacher, Stormy, realizes that I believe in miracles. He can stop already with the quizzes.

TRILLIUM; one of the many flower essences I work with.

Lessons in Allowing

A new client was referred by their vet for help with moving their two cats to a new home. The male cat has a medical issue that flares-up under stress causing incontinence.

In an effort to reduce the cat’s anxiety I recommended vibrational remedies along with communication. I felt his sister would be fine with just a conversation about the move.

Timing was dependent upon the closing date.

The cats were going to a friend’s house the day before the closing. I prepared the remedies and mailed them, so the cat could be on them for a few days prior to their adventure; at least that was my plan. When the remedies arrived I spoke with the cat asking for his cooperation. I assured him that they’d make him feel better.

The day before the move I communicated with each cat. The more details I can share about an upcoming change the better. The idea was to prevent anything unexpected that increased his stress. Based on past experience, I was confident that the combination of communication and remedies would manage his stress and anxiety. Although, I still wonder how things are transpiring.

Eventually, I received an email from the client entitled, “Wow!” Apparently, they never gave the cat his remedies until after he arrived at their new house. My heart sank when I read this, but all I can do is suggest and then allow the Universe to orchestrate the rest.

As always, everything happens for a reason. The poor cat was so upset he wandered everywhere yowling. He was given Xanax, which he threw up. He defecated numerous times from his extreme anxiety. Fifteen minutes after getting the first dose of his remedies, he contently curled up in his person’s lap and became very affectionate. According to the email, he rarely does this.

His sister was unsettled initially, but overcame her anxiety quickly and settled into her new digs. Communicating beforehand what to expect allows animals to accept big changes much more easily. I felt bad that her brother endured this scenario, but he became a powerful teacher for his skeptical people. There is definitely no doubt in their minds about what they witnessed; the miracle of vibrational remedies.

Sacred Connections through Horses - Carol Upton reviews Spirit of the Horse

Spirit of the Horse

The New Myths of Equus

Carole Devereux

Animals have the capacity and the power to expand their minds into extraordinary states of consciousness.  My horses have often shown their otherworldly journeys into The Dreamtime to me.  Buddy once told me that he can "feel" the hoof beats of his species running all over the Earth. ~ Carole Devereux

This graceful and timely book takes us on a transformational journey like no other, to the mystic world where the spirit of the horse resides. Carole Devereux introduces a rich language for concepts we may have felt while working with horses, but have been unable to articulate.

Animal-lovers know they can communicate, to one degree or another, with their animals, and there have been many books written on this subject. Devereux guides us beyond that familiar landscape, advancing our understanding of equine perspective and unlocking the endless possibilities present when we truly listen to what horses are saying.

Spirit of the Horse examines the early life of horses, from Eohippus through the Stone Age, and the ancient relationships horses had with human beings. Devereux reminds us that historically, we depended on communion with animals in order to live, much of that wisdom forgotten as we began to exploit resources and work within a paradigm known as “dominion over the earth”. Today, we are moving back to the lessons of nature, and animals, particularly horses, are here to help.

These lessons are evident in the hidden treasures of equus mythology as narrated by Devereux’s horses Buddy and Ellie. Through the myths, we begin to feel the emotional and spiritual impact of horses on our lives. Now, a series of guided visualizations gently assists us to explore our own stories of connection, truth, and healing.

One of the most revealing chapters covers the Yogic system of India, discussing how Yogic practices can help both horse and rider unite body and mind in their work together. We may already know that horses are experts at reading energy, but how do we use this knowledge in our riding? The answers are here.

Spirit of the Horse demonstrates that horses can tell us much more than we have dreamed and can lead us along paths of continuous spiritual growth. Reading it stirs us emotionally, significantly uplifts our souls, and leaves us hungry for more.

Stormy's new home!

Up-Close-And-Personal

Although I’ve been “consciously” communicating with animals for almost 20 years, I still get amazed by it. It’s gratifying to hear how well clients’ animals handle stressful situations.


Communicating ahead about trips, moving, flying, showing, medical procedures, adding family members, etc. goes a long way to reduce stress in the animals and their people.

On Monday, I experienced my communication skills up-close-and-personal when I moved my horse Stormy. I’ve shipped horses all my life giving me lots to compare to. Stormy has very limited experience, which added to my anxiety.

Monday morning, I had a conversation with Stormy giving him the details of the move just as I’d done for a client’s two cats that moved on Sunday. Knowing animals feed off our energies, I surrounded both of us with healing light, which I use often with my clients, to calm and relax us.

Stormy gave the trailer a little look and then walked calmly onto it. He stood patiently until we drove off; patience isn’t one of his strong suits. We drove the hour to the new barn without a hitch; no pun intended. I wasn’t a bit anxious, which was a total surprise.

I offloaded Stormy into his beautiful stall with a view. He was wide-eyed looking at the huge, grassy pasture that awaited him. After a couple of hours, I turned him out in a smaller paddock, so he could get acquainted with horse heaven. While Stormy calmly explored Tuscarora Ranch, Hana & Saba helped me unload all of his “luggage.”

I was astonished by the results of the communication and healing light. I was sure Stormy would come off the trailer sweaty from nervousness, but he hadn’t turned a hair; a horseman’s term for relaxed. Driving home, I calculated that Stormy had only been shipped six times; hence my concern about the move. My ability to communicate ahead of time and while driving eliminated any uncertainty in him. If he wasn’t worried, I wasn’t.

PS: Today would’ve been my mom’s 95th birthday. She’s been gone 10 years, but the memories remain, so make great ones. I just made another with Stormy!

Amazing Animals - Living Angels

"Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like never washed a dog." - Franklin P. Jones

There is a tendency to lump animals into certain categories. What they are here to help us learn about who they are and all that they are capable of is an ever growing list. Part of that growth requires that we credit them with abilities far beyond anything we could have imagined.

They are continually reminding us to be more creative and generous in our acknowledgment of the help that service and companion animals provide and appreciative of the many benefits we are given when we learn to value each animal as an individual and make a dedicated effort to engage them on their terms. 

In some abilities, such as an intuitive knowing of what is needed to relieve anxiety or pain without having to muddle through some complicated instruction or special training, they might even surpass us.
 
I happened to see this story in a short post and wanted to pass it on. Service animals come in all shapes and sizes. Kasey to the Rescue is about a monkey who is a "godsend" to her human family.

One very special gift Kasey offers is quite amazing. She shares a healing touch when her patient is in pain. According to the author, " People with spinal cord injuries often suffer from nerve pain. Kasey seemed to understand this. If he is in a lot of pain, she'll run over to him and lie on whatever it is that's hurting on his body. She'll lie there, curled up into a ball, very still on his body. You can see the pain start to leave his face."

Meet Kasey and her family:
 


The story is also a wonderful eye-opener as to the needs of companion animals too. Kasey has her own issues and requirements and is very much a family member rather than a trained performer or a house pet. She is quite unique, and yet, she is one of many who represent how animals can help us in ways we may not have realized we need help.

Her story demonstrates how the animals who share our planet are beyond any value we can ascribe to them because we still have so much more to discover and, in so doing, we learn more about ourselves.
