Touch and needling.
Initially I would like to say that these are two of the same.
This sounds controversial to the reader as one uses the hand or better the fingertips, the other a metal instrument manufactured from different kind of material (steel or plated with gold and silvers).
Initially Acupuncture came from touch rather than introducing needles.
It was bit like you would use the tips of your fingers mostly and only needle certain points. Nowadays it is more likely that you needle more rather than just touch, though a lot of the initial diagnosis of flow is done via the tips of finger.
This is where an important point comes in that may have been overlooked: the heart!
Yes, it is the heart that serves as the portal. Some may think it is the brain or the mind, but it is the heart - our own heart that we connect when making the intention to use healing.
This is also the reason why simply "touching" can help heal the other. We may not do it consciously, but touch is part of being human and it heals. The hands are like antenna of the heart. In particular despite the fact that there are meridians running through the fingers that connect the body parts and their various element (5 element theory) there are also red energy channel that are instantly connected from the heart down to all the fingers. They meet at the heart point or chakra point and go up.....it is actually not the chakra or the heart itself, there is a shortcut. There is a jump from the energy fingertips-heart-crown and beyond (need to explain this one later).
The energy is red and driven by the blood, but it is more of a carrier of energy. The energy lines are overlays or invisibles. They penetrate more than one body, the physical and All the others. (we know that energy bodies are not like onion peel, but one interpenetrates all of the above, they are connected) particular at soul level.
According to the guides the body of the practitioner adapts to a higher form of being when working with energy and self development, it is as if their body changes. And similar to the qi forming energy lines within the being (eg in martial arts) to perform something, in healing also this forms. I am being told that there is a kind of healing matrix that enters the body of someone that works with healing energy. It become like an extra skin - they actually call it Matrix. At this moment I see it in the colour red, but according to them this varies by person to person as they would like to remind me that EACH individual TRUELY is UNIQUE....their blueprint does not exist in the same way in the entire Galaxy. (yes they mean galaxy). They say that this "body of energy lines" is also connected to a higher level of consciousness not resident on earth. Eg there ARE guides from another dimension that work this way and guide, but most importantly are able to complement the energy and thus support the healing process.
The important thing to note here is the involvement of the heart and its spirit-soul and the link to other dimension that have decided to offer their energy to help heal. This is particularly important for old wounds. Old wounds for them is to do with karmic roots of diseases and also family, country, and earth memories (eg the energy of recent wars that have introduced a lot of so called modern diseases).
The heart is also the monitor. What they mean is that many may think it is the brain that helps analyse another state (eg the pulse of their meridians or organs), it is actually their own heart energy that transmit the information. So, it is almost like setting a base pulse and comparing it against it. The practitioner will not notice this as his own heart pulse is "normal and familiar" to him. But it is used as a zero point to compare anothers´ pulse.
So, how do the finger tips function in this process?
Very easy they are the outside representation of the hearts energy. And while they touch a certain amount of energy is transmitted (although the good practitioner will be aware of this and not accidentally modify the pulse of another, but it is an automatic effect from one human touching the other - equilibrium: the attempt for one body wanting to reach its perfect original states).
The other important connection is not just to above, but also to the earth, as these energy lines of a healing practitioner run into the earth and earth energy is the other equivalent that helps in helping another body back to its state of perfection (balance). And not to forget: is the breath. As we breathe with our whole body, with every cell, the breath forms the transductor of the energy between human, their heart and the heaven and earth realm (Tao).
so, the energy map, that helps a healer to be part of a healing energy is like an internal coat or skin that is transparent, but has especial energy lines that are formed in it. It is like an overlay that aids the other function of the body to heal (eg the intend, the practical act of laying on of hands).
So, where do needles come in?
We are jumping here, as there is a lot more to say, but to get the initial differentiation across. A needle is a conductor. It serves to combine the heaven and earth energy (through it being a straight line with two points) and direct it and equilibrate them. (some words are foreign to me some words are known words but they write them differently and some words are their words, they are new to me).
Ok, the needle means a purer concentration, not in terms of the pureness of energy, no in the pureness and focus and decisiveness of where the energy is meant to be directed. It brings several earth streams together, the way it looks as if the top of the needle has an energetic umbrella going upwards DRAWING energy in, this is then directed through thought (or intention if you want ) by the mind and the heart energy that comes via the finger tips of the practitioner combines with this metal object (needle) and insert it, while then the tip of the needle make the connection with the patients own energy thus forming the other part of the tao and combines also with the energy rising from the feet of the practitioner that is standing on the ground touching earth. So, indeed the simple act of touch or needling is actually the summonising of global-universal energy that are compounded via practise and intent (the heart is in a
The heart is in a way the monitor and acts in several ways.
It is the portal and the port. Eg it receives and distributes energy. This happens within and without the body.
But the heart is kind of like an atom in space with rays reaching out and thus the portal function of the heart serves as an energy transfer forum forming part of the healing act - thus miracles (so called instant cures) can happen: it is not just one being that is involved but an entire body of knowledge, wisdom and knowing that the heart carries. It has this via the DNA, but its energetic DNA vibration that is up to now not discussed with the masses of people.
So back to the heart, it also apart from its DNA has an energy function as a portal. This portal travels inside and out. To explain this one needs to familiar with three things: the hologram function, the "as above so below" connection and the outward reaching energy function.
The hologram function is that even though they may only be a tiny physical occurrence eg like a crystal memory in the heart chamber it can connect with the body of information that this bloodline or family has ever known- so this means a residue of knowledge wisdom that is physically in the heart can give access to the a vast library of knowledge - this would be a wisdom function: meaning that anything this soul ever experienced and every knowledge this body (via its genetic factor) has ever learnt and experienced is in it.
The above and below function is similar to the hologram, but works on the principal that ANYTHING that happens in outer realms (eg the universe) has a portal and communicates with the heart. So, it is as if the heart is a radio transmitter though we are no longer (some are) aware of it the heart is receiving messages and knowledge from other dimension, mainly the stars that we originate from (there is a big body of work from this via the native american, particular the Lakota and their connection of medicine wheels to interstellar travel and communication)
The outward reaching function is more understood in todays world, as it concerns things that are send and received, either directly via the heart or its adjacent heart chakrum. Here is then also the connection to the solar plexus (the sensing chakrum) and the communication chakrum as well as the one in between the Thymus that are important. However, most everyday people will not be able to describe it in this terms, but perceive it as an emotional or sensing response to either known (the full moon) or unknown forces (eg changes on a cosmic level).
Ok, why is the heart so important in an acupuncture session. They say it is where all is generated from and all goes to - finally. It is the consciousness of all functions.

The meaning and use of the 5 elements.
When we talk about the elemental structures, we are talking of the nature and state of being of particles (this is not an ideal term).These are states of being, like you may describe a buddhic state or a conscious state of being. We assume and it has been proven that parts (particles) have a consciousness and thus PREFER a state of being. This state of being happens in relationship to.....e.g. like in the Tao, day is day in relationship to night and vice versa. Therefore if we are talking about the elemental states of being we are describing them in relationship to the other states....e.g. morning, mid day, afternoon, evening and late night. These are relatively loose names and description for a certain quality of time and amount of light and density of energy. you could then apply this state of say the points as having a tendency towards being wood or fire, metal or water and earth, whilst all are transitioning through earth, so all are transitioning through light. So, they are states in which the chemistry of a point changes, e.g. vapor, mist, condensation, water, ice.....why do we have them? The five elements relate to earth. I mean they are the main archetypes of being on earth, as such one needs to read them in relation to a souls manifestation and integration on the earth plane. Are there other planes, then? yes, of course, but in the body of acupuncture we look at the state of being of the physical body in relationship to its preferred state of being as a soul, e.g. someone born in the year or dragon at the time of wood reacts differently then someone born in the year of monkey at the time of fire.....but these are tendencies not solid states. Then if we go to the concept of the meridians, and these a good practitioner can see in their mind eye or even see in front of himself with time, a wood point such as a ting point has this characteristic in relationship to the other ting points on a horse’s body. The states vary, e.g. with the other terms and in sense there are more than 8 states of being, but like you have 9natural numbers in the cosmos and all numbers are made up of combination of them, so the 5, elements and their states of being, which can be broken down to negative and positive states in relation to can describe a point, an organ and its meridian (organ is how the different parts are organized too, e.g. their element combinations) swell as the tendency of a point in regards to other points. So, we have maps of points that favor a state of being, also their are cross points where these states meet, and their are layered points, meaning there is more than one state present. So to talk of one of the element it means that this state is more present than another. E.g. 40 percent wood, 10 of each of the others, so it is a wood point. The description came from the experiences of the different schools that concerned themselves with the study of this, and are in some ways depending on their description of the nature of an element. E.g. what I am saying is that though the description was maybe sounding the same, the nature of the actual point maybe different to whether the person lives in the north or south and in relationship to their climatic being. Therefore this so called theory is not a theory as such it is an integral part of the describing of a state of an acu point on human or animal body. It is like referring to a landscape. If you live in the arctic you may not have terms that describe the green of plants in many words, but you would have many words that would describe the nature of ice and its characteristics, so the elements and their different states was an attempt to create a language that was descriptive to label certain stages of being. So, I would like you to think of it like a new language used in the practice of acupuncture to help the doctor understand the states of being of its patient, whereas it is always seen as in relationship to the states of the other parts of the body involved. It does not mean if a point has fire that this is bad, it may only be bad when it has only fire and the next one only water, and the imbalance that stems from that. Understood? So, they are labels, like when you go walking and you have different ways of getting home, they point in directions, they are INDICATORS. It is very difficult in a way to teach acupuncture through the English language as the old writings of the different languages where more related to iconic states of being, e.g. energetic ways, symbolic labels. For now this is enough. But one more thing to say actually, the nature of the astrology of a souls integration into its solid body state, greeted to as its birthdates in western is of high importance, I mean that the planets and natures present on the day do influence on HOW the souls communicates with its earthly body, Here is where the heart center is of importance, One can always access the state of a patient and their tendency by their heart sign function, e.g. this means that actually their heart meridians and the organs related to the cross point, e.g. heart protector or the gates to different states, etc give bigger description than just their birth date which give an overall tendency, but do not necessarily describe the elemental state of an organ such as the organic combinations of the heart. In a way it has gone out of fashion to favor certain organs and its organ combination, but I stress that the heart organs and the sweetness often soul matter a lot. How to measure the state of the soul for adductor - the name doctor is wrong - we are not doctors - we are kind of technicians, like massage therapist, we are hands on practitioners, there is a word for this in the ancient languages - it is that we are monks, in the sense monks that serve the realm of acupuncture which means point of soul - which actually means the state of being of the soul compared to its original state of being, so this is in a way astute of a star in the body of the universe in relationship to its denser, visible place of a body functioning in the earth realm, it is like translating something fairly faraway and abstract, as the soul is inside the body, not above, but the portal to reach it is via the heart points or heart pointers, these are vectors or lines of energy, but actually each person has their own cosmic inner life that is aversion or connects to that of what we see above, it is the inside outer outside in....so the soul that has done this process, the light that it took to earth to form into a being in the body of human.....this is what acu puncture describes, it is essentially practice to help souls be on earth and we help the body to attain its equilibrium as it has gone through many transformation and many deaths and here comes in Alans point about the good death.....this is including the map of the body, so we actually practice acu puncture or if you want a kind of soul massage to help the body reach the optimum state for life and such for death, so the long term therapy to help a body's meridians means that these meridians are like energy lines that are like a vessel, though a loose one that keep the body, like you would hold a bird in your hand, not crushing it and when the bird is rescued and has recovered it can fly, so it means that the meridians are put back to a find their flow after e.g. an accident or alike so they can then be like a spiral energy e.g. with their energy connections to the above and below, which is the Tao, so the Tao, relates not to a theory but to the state of a souls being with their feet on the ground and these energy lines reaching into earth as well as their energy lines up to the heavenly states and also the energy lines that hold the body up and in the here and now that you relate to as the GI forces, we see it like a pattern of energetic lines that keep a body in relationship to its other bodies, including that of saying sitting on a chair, all these lines, are like a visible (I can see it now) network....that is multidimensional, so a spider web is not the good description it is more like the butterfly cocoon, but finer as these lines are made up of a mixture of light, matter and consciousness and yes, there is the one most important element, LOVE. This love gives the energy body is existence in the earth realm, though Al, to put this straight, this love also exists in a body that has transited to the other states of reality, even though I need to say that it is the love of its adjacent souls (partners, friend, family) that keep it in the near earth realms such helping it to be guides and helpers, but love is actually part of consciousness. It is the real essence of consciousness when we talk about consciousness we mean LOVE. Love is a vibrational state, you can feel it when you listen to some music, this music was composed and made to revere love in its highest form. Thus really what we do with acu puncture is connect a being back to its love state so it can flow and be and be conscious and has connection to its soul, as only love can have the connection to its soul....this is why many are soul less, they have lost love in their incarnations.....so actually acu puncture is a conscious sacred attempt to combine again the strings of the body's energy matrix to vibrate and sound actually it is a word THE Body’s SOUNDING that is what we attempt to do....when it has slot back or put back to its shell like energy vibration then it can be in a state of healing, thus in a state of love, constant love, this is grace and blessing, this is light and sound, this is connection and beingness, this is consciousness love, this is the Tao. deep breath, this is how a body breathes and is alive, this is beingness and integration, this is the pure manifestation of a soul walking on earth, being connected to its origin at all times, this is why we are here, acu puncture is really a teaching of a state to the body, it helps the soul and body remember who they are and is the practical application of what praying is to the soul so, you can pray for someone, but better to help connect them so they can pray themselves or better do not need to pray as they breath and are IT.

Energetic Animal Healing
What is it and how does it work?
By Birgit Bartels,
Lets look at experiencing animal healing.
If you have an animal around you, please try the following, if you do not, simply think of one that you know that may require some positive energy.
Now, the first step to healing is that the being, in this case I will call it the animal patient, is receptive to it. Therefore we need to follow some basic universal laws. The first one is to give it respect and therefore ask permission from the animal before doing anything. My advice on how to do this is as follows: When you approach any kind of animal, stop at some distance and greet it with your heart. The animal may be surprised that you treat him or her as an equal. You may open your heart and send love out with intent, before you even enter the animal’s space. Then check with “above” and “inside” and surrender your thought and ask if it is okay to offer your energy for healing. When you receive a ‘yes’, then you are able to approach closer. If you receive a ‘no’, then, please be honest to yourself and simply say: “Thank you, but I am not the right energy to offer you help and I send you love and send out the thought that someone else may enter your life to help you”. Do not worry, something will be provided for this animal. When you get the ‘yes’ answer, first let the animal relax. Try at this point not to talk to the owner, or use human words. Just breathe, offer your heart and let the animal patient see your true intent. With your presence, send out that you are not here to hurt it, inflict further suffering or indeed eat it. The animal should come to you or at least look at you. Most animals will be able to see your energy, sense that what you say is what you mean and that you have come as a messenger. A messenger from the truth that is called love and are here offering to facilitate healing.
Having made this initial connection with your patient, and before you start using your hands, please connect with the truth called love. There are several ways to do this and each person is individual. I have been given one way that I would like to share with you: Open up to the energy above (heaven) and below (earth) through your breathing. First take a deep breath and breathe out. With the next deep breath you breathe in earth energy from under your feet and draw it up all the way through your body, when it reaches your head, breathe out of the top of your head. When you have completely exhaled, take the new breath from above, the energy of heaven and draw it down all the way to the soles of your feet. Completely exhale and take the next breath (2) from the earth below your feet and draw it all the way up to the top of your head. Exhale and take in the new breath from above, draw it through your body and breathe out when you reach the soles of your feet. Now take a new breath (3) from earth, drawing it through you, breathing it out at the top of your head, and inhale the energy from heaven and breathe it through your body, instead of pulling to your feet, breathe out when you get to the heart. This is called “Surrender to Spirit”. Spirit describes that which is of a different dimension, a different frequency of stuff. This process also ensures that you channel pure love from the truth, not from any formula or secondary source, but you go to “the truth”. You may feel the energy change within you and around you, and everyone will usually relax. In you inner heart (your inner head or mind, if you like) you then ask for everyone that has been ‘forever’ with you (for example your guides, helpers, ancestors, distant masters) to come and aid you in your act of service and union with the divine and then you ask their permission as well as kindly request the same from your animal patient’s guides and helpers. Please include the earth, stars, and universe and ‘forever’ to show your respect to the solar system you live in. As there is no time in the other dimension, you create a link with anyone who ever facilitated healing on earth, thus increasing your healing ability. Now, you are ready to place your hands, first on the energy field that surrounds the patient and then on any parts of the body you may be drawn to. The animal will often ask you for healing just because it is so relieved to receive help and show you by moving and pointing out where the hurt is. On one level it does not matter where you put your hands, the energy will go where it is needed. You may even heal with your thought and intent alone, in case you cannot get close enough to touch it. The “hands-on” session may last a few seconds, a couple of minutes, or hours. This depends on you, the energy on the day and your animal patient. You will simply get accustomed to when the energy has gone and then close the session with your “thank you” to all parties involved, including the animal patient. It may be necessary to do several sessions, as the animal patient must get used to your energy and will be able to relax more. Sometimes it may take an entire team of vet, chiropractor, acupuncturist and healer to work together on one animal patient to be able to shift the energy. The reason for needing several sessions and possibly a whole team is because we are still learning about energy healing. Also the origin of the dis-ease may not be recent but be from a past life or inherited from the parents at birth. In any case your act of healing has added to make this world a better place and bring it closer to balance. Remember, please, that everything can be healed. It is down to the thought of all involved, practical things like change in diet and lifestyle and most importantly - Time. Often we expect an immediate result for something that has taken a long time to manifest. Healing should really be part of preventative medicine and not a last resort.
If you do not have an animal that needs your attention, then you can always use the above described process for distant healing. You may have seen an animal in a garden or field and sense that it is need, please remember that you can always do something: Send it love. As long as you ask permission first, you can ask for it to receive what it needs. You are never powerless. There are some people feel that everything has its own path of development and we must not interfere. Well, just be aware that whether you do something or not in any situation you are involved in this animal’s path, may it be passively or actively. Remember that you always have the right to intervene, as long as you follow the guidance on asking permission and offer your healing energy to your highest good for all involved.
Coming back to the “stuff” we are all made off, I need to add something important. Although we share the essence of everything that is and ever was and are made of the same stuff, each being, may it appear in human form, as a plant or animal has a unique energy pattern. Each of us is different and thus an individual. Your energy pattern is like your finger print. Although we all connect to the same energy, that of the one truth called love, it depends on our individual energy how it is manifested. Therefore one healer may be able to help an animal better than another and also one treatment may work for one animal and the next animal needs a different type. No-one can ever be replaced, neither can an animal or a plant. When looking for the right healer to facilitate healing of your animal, speak to several or get recommended but decide before you introduce them to your animal if you feel okay with them and trust their truth. The service of healing has nothing to do with any kind of religion, faith or spirituality. It does not matter whether you are a believer or a sceptic, it works. It helps to be as open and trusting as you can be, but it is not essential.
May I add at this point that being ill or not at ease is as much a part of the world as is the need for your service as a healer and our connection to the one truth - love. As all is made of the same stuff, energy is only bad if it is blocked or foreign to the body or soul it is stuck to. It is not you, the healer, but the patient’s willingness to live that makes him or her heal. You are as much a tool for healing as the patient is a tool for what needs to be healed or released. However, you are an important tool because it takes a physical body to manifest this type of healing energy on earth at this moment. You are important and unique in how you approach it, and I would like you to realise that without all three, you, the patient and the divine love, there would be no community and no healing. Domesticated animals have given themselves to service for us and we need to honour this and them by being their guardians and care takers. Otherwise we are the less evolved souls on this planet. A sick animal merely shows it has taken on energy that needs to be released or processed and this can be any kind of energy. For example an animal may have come into your life to heal you. It may take on energies that you and your body alone cannot deal with and the animal patient’s dis-ease may be a manifestation of yours, even if you have not had any symptoms. On the other hand, many healthy and balanced animals use their bodies to help release the blocked energy of a human. For example a cat sitting on your lap and sharing and exchanging the energy, may just help you heal and release something. You may not be conscious of it, but the animal is.
Whatever your form of healing is, simply caring for an animal, feeding it or stroking it, each time you help heal an animal you create an energy pattern that will make it easier for the next healer person to do so too. You have also manifested healing energy at the place you worked and for all those that were involved. This will help the next animal in need to receive healing.
The other way of helping to heal animals is to heal yourself. Self-healing may be the most simple or the most difficult kind of healing. To heal yourself is also the most powerful way of becoming good at giving healing to others. Ask yourself what bothers you most about yourself or your life, then start looking for an answer. Simply put out the thought (for example), “I would like to heal my fear of my own power”. You will be guided by inspiration. Someone MAY lend you a book, you see an article or you may decide to take a holiday to have time and peace to find out more. In helping and healing yourself you give to earth the most precious gift and thus help heal the imbalance in energy. Your are the most powerful solution to the current challenges on earth. In taking responsibility for your own healing the energy around you will shift and help heal everyone that you come in contact with, may they be human or animal. Whatever your path, be kind to yourself and to others and all that is around you.
Blessed Be.
B
This information was put together based on my guidance and experience in the energetic balancing of animals to facilitate their healing. The article first describes two ancient concepts that are necessary to help you understand the process of energy healing. It involves the idea of one truth - “love” and the “stuff” that we are all made of. They connect to concepts which were true and accessible to anyone prior to the existence of formal religion and are based on universal laws, albeit interpreted here by me.
I would like to take you on a short imaginative journey and share a concept with you that may help you to understand what I have learnt about animal healing to date.
Imagine first of all that there is only one truth. This is not a human made truth but something that has more eyes to see, more hands to touch, more consciousness to perceive and thus more ability to understand than a human, like me. This truth is called love. Unconditional all encompassing love, with no “ifs” or “buts”. The second thing I would like you to imagine is that everything, you, your body, the magazine you are reading right now, the cup of ‘cafe con leche’, the seat you sit on and the earth your feet touch is made from one and the same “stuff”. This stuff, whatever you would like to call it, is “ all around”. So much so that it is “in between things”. Like an artist or a photographer who does not just paint or see what “is”, but heavily relies on “what is not”... as “the space in between things”...so this “stuff” is everywhere. The reason you see “what is” is because there is a denser concentration of stuff than there is where we perceive as “what is not”. It is a vibration that has different frequencies and thus can be seen or perceive as light, colour, heat or sound or anything else that you have ever experienced. Ok, what has this amateurish explanation got to do with my passion for animals and the healing of them or indeed of us?
The term ‘healing’ has been widely used and sometimes misinterpreted, even put to the negative. In my experience we all heal all the time, maybe through writing an article or through listening to a friend, through watering the plants or indeed laying on of hands. If we define the expertise of a healer as facilitating healing, I have no problem with using the word “healer” and “healing” as indeed that is what we all do in different ways each day. For example, the car mechanic helps put things back where they belong, the dentist replaces or repairs gaps and the doctor prescribes drugs and exercise or possibly even an operation to mend that what is not functioning. They are helping or facilitating that what does not work to work again. None of these people heal, but facilitate healing. This is exactly what a healer does, the healer has been given the gift to help heal, just as the car mechanic has a gift to put a car together. Too simplistic? Ok, but for me a healer is just a person that has through many lifetimes or many years of dedication been given the tools, the knowing and the expertise to help heal a being.
Now back to the “stuff”. If you imagine that all around us is made of “stuff” than you may accept that it does not matter if this stuff makes a tree or an animal or a human. Indeed it may well be the essence we all share. If you then put in the one truth of love, then we all share the same love and the same stuff. Ok? Ok.
Now then, why should an animal be able to be healed by a human? Well, it works both ways. First of all, I have to say that I perceive the current world out of balance. Meaning, that there is too much one sided stuff around. That of negativity and fear. I feel that many of us on earth have forgotten the one truth and are even scared of it. Yes, it is not easy to define what love is from a human point of view, but we can try. So, if I perceive that there is an imbalance on this planet at this time, and that this affects everything and everyone that lives on it, than I also accept that there is an imbalance in most of us. We are trying to balance this, and if healing is nothing else, it is facilitating a being to regain balance. Life for all of us is very changeable and full of things that we perceive as good, not good or even bad. The good things take care of themselves and the bad things may get stuck. So, over a number of days, weeks or years if the stuff that is not being dealt with, gets more dense and becomes what we would call a dis-ease. We are not at ease. We feel tense and we feel stressed and we feel we are blocked and can not be ourselves. So, why should this be different for the earth, nature and the animals around us? It is not. The difference is that many parts of earth, nature and animals have no chance to walk away and start afresh. At this time of earth’s life it seems to be us, the humans that are in control of most of the living space. This would be a great thing, if all would see us humans as caretakers of all the things around us. However, this world is full of different kinds of people. Some know more than others and others have only limited access to resources. Most people on this planet have so much to deal with their own life that they can hardly take care of their own body. How can you expect them to take care of someone else, human or animal?
If we could go back to the idea that we are all made of the same stuff and that there is only one truth - that of love, then we are all the same and in the same boat, and hurting another being is like hurting ourselves. However, many people do not remember that we, the humans are all made of the same as everything else on earth, neither do they remember that we are part of the same wheel, but not the wheel itself. As we are all living in an artificial world that in many ways was human made, and have to live with this inheritance, we can only ever give our best in each situation. The same applies to an animal. Many animals suffer trauma as we do. Many animals heal us, and we do not even realise. Whatever our path, the point I am trying to make is that we are here to help heal what is not in balance. So, we are here to facilitate those that have had painful things happen to them and release them. This is one way to use healing. A doctor does not directly heal the body, he mends through operation or medication or by his council, but the body heals by itself. The wound closes and if the cause has been healed so will the condition. A healer then, works with this in a similar way, he offers the other being his energy to help heal the wounds. As all is made of the same stuff but has different frequency, healing happens on many different levels. One cannot purely talk about the physical without considering the overall well being of a being. Animals are like humans, multidimensional.
I hope that this was not too abstract or challenging an explanation. Being in a human body on earth involves many levels, many that we may not understand. The fact that we may not understand something, nor see, hear or touch it, does not mean it does not exist. Rather than questioning its presence we can simply honour and respect it. The truth of love and the existence of stuff in everything on earth may not be enough of an explanation for some people.

By Birgit Bartels,
Lets look at experiencing animal healing.
If you have an animal around you, please try the following, if you do not, simply think of one that you know that may require some positive energy.
Now, the first step to healing is that the being, in this case I will call it the animal patient, is receptive to it. Therefore we need to follow some basic universal laws. The first one is to give it respect and therefore ask permission from the animal before doing anything. My advice on how to do this is as follows: When you approach any kind of animal, stop at some distance and greet it with your heart. The animal may be surprised that you treat him or her as an equal. You may open your heart and send love out with intent, before you even enter the animal’s space. Then check with “above” and “inside” and surrender your thought and ask if it is okay to offer your energy for healing. When you receive a ‘yes’, then you are able to approach closer. If you receive a ‘no’, then, please be honest to yourself and simply say: “Thank you, but I am not the right energy to offer you help and I send you love and send out the thought that someone else may enter your life to help you”. Do not worry, something will be provided for this animal. When you get the ‘yes’ answer, first let the animal relax. Try at this point not to talk to the owner, or use human words. Just breathe, offer your heart and let the animal patient see your true intent. With your presence, send out that you are not here to hurt it, inflict further suffering or indeed eat it. The animal should come to you or at least look at you. Most animals will be able to see your energy, sense that what you say is what you mean and that you have come as a messenger. A messenger from the truth that is called love and are here offering to facilitate healing.
Having made this initial connection with your patient, and before you start using your hands, please connect with the truth called love. There are several ways to do this and each person is individual. I have been given one way that I would like to share with you: Open up to the energy above (heaven) and below (earth) through your breathing. First take a deep breath and breathe out. With the next deep breath you breathe in earth energy from under your feet and draw it up all the way through your body, when it reaches your head, breathe out of the top of your head. When you have completely exhaled, take the new breath from above, the energy of heaven and draw it down all the way to the soles of your feet. Completely exhale and take the next breath (2) from the earth below your feet and draw it all the way up to the top of your head. Exhale and take in the new breath from above, draw it through your body and breathe out when you reach the soles of your feet. Now take a new breath (3) from earth, drawing it through you, breathing it out at the top of your head, and inhale the energy from heaven and breathe it through your body, instead of pulling to your feet, breathe out when you get to the heart. This is called “Surrender to Spirit”. Spirit describes that which is of a different dimension, a different frequency of stuff. This process also ensures that you channel pure love from the truth, not from any formula or secondary source, but you go to “the truth”. You may feel the energy change within you and around you, and everyone will usually relax. In you inner heart (your inner head or mind, if you like) you then ask for everyone that has been ‘forever’ with you (for example your guides, helpers, ancestors, distant masters) to come and aid you in your act of service and union with the divine and then you ask their permission as well as kindly request the same from your animal patient’s guides and helpers. Please include the earth, stars, and universe and ‘forever’ to show your respect to the solar system you live in. As there is no time in the other dimension, you create a link with anyone who ever facilitated healing on earth, thus increasing your healing ability. Now, you are ready to place your hands, first on the energy field that surrounds the patient and then on any parts of the body you may be drawn to. The animal will often ask you for healing just because it is so relieved to receive help and show you by moving and pointing out where the hurt is. On one level it does not matter where you put your hands, the energy will go where it is needed. You may even heal with your thought and intent alone, in case you cannot get close enough to touch it. The “hands-on” session may last a few seconds, a couple of minutes, or hours. This depends on you, the energy on the day and your animal patient. You will simply get accustomed to when the energy has gone and then close the session with your “thank you” to all parties involved, including the animal patient. It may be necessary to do several sessions, as the animal patient must get used to your energy and will be able to relax more. Sometimes it may take an entire team of vet, chiropractor, acupuncturist and healer to work together on one animal patient to be able to shift the energy. The reason for needing several sessions and possibly a whole team is because we are still learning about energy healing. Also the origin of the dis-ease may not be recent but be from a past life or inherited from the parents at birth. In any case your act of healing has added to make this world a better place and bring it closer to balance. Remember, please, that everything can be healed. It is down to the thought of all involved, practical things like change in diet and lifestyle and most importantly - Time. Often we expect an immediate result for something that has taken a long time to manifest. Healing should really be part of preventative medicine and not a last resort.
If you do not have an animal that needs your attention, then you can always use the above described process for distant healing. You may have seen an animal in a garden or field and sense that it is need, please remember that you can always do something: Send it love. As long as you ask permission first, you can ask for it to receive what it needs. You are never powerless. There are some people feel that everything has its own path of development and we must not interfere. Well, just be aware that whether you do something or not in any situation you are involved in this animal’s path, may it be passively or actively. Remember that you always have the right to intervene, as long as you follow the guidance on asking permission and offer your healing energy to your highest good for all involved.
Coming back to the “stuff” we are all made off, I need to add something important. Although we share the essence of everything that is and ever was and are made of the same stuff, each being, may it appear in human form, as a plant or animal has a unique energy pattern. Each of us is different and thus an individual. Your energy pattern is like your finger print. Although we all connect to the same energy, that of the one truth called love, it depends on our individual energy how it is manifested. Therefore one healer may be able to help an animal better than another and also one treatment may work for one animal and the next animal needs a different type. No-one can ever be replaced, neither can an animal or a plant. When looking for the right healer to facilitate healing of your animal, speak to several or get recommended but decide before you introduce them to your animal if you feel okay with them and trust their truth. The service of healing has nothing to do with any kind of religion, faith or spirituality. It does not matter whether you are a believer or a sceptic, it works. It helps to be as open and trusting as you can be, but it is not essential.
May I add at this point that being ill or not at ease is as much a part of the world as is the need for your service as a healer and our connection to the one truth - love. As all is made of the same stuff, energy is only bad if it is blocked or foreign to the body or soul it is stuck to. It is not you, the healer, but the patient’s willingness to live that makes him or her heal. You are as much a tool for healing as the patient is a tool for what needs to be healed or released. However, you are an important tool because it takes a physical body to manifest this type of healing energy on earth at this moment. You are important and unique in how you approach it, and I would like you to realise that without all three, you, the patient and the divine love, there would be no community and no healing. Domesticated animals have given themselves to service for us and we need to honour this and them by being their guardians and care takers. Otherwise we are the less evolved souls on this planet. A sick animal merely shows it has taken on energy that needs to be released or processed and this can be any kind of energy. For example an animal may have come into your life to heal you. It may take on energies that you and your body alone cannot deal with and the animal patient’s dis-ease may be a manifestation of yours, even if you have not had any symptoms. On the other hand, many healthy and balanced animals use their bodies to help release the blocked energy of a human. For example a cat sitting on your lap and sharing and exchanging the energy, may just help you heal and release something. You may not be conscious of it, but the animal is.
Whatever your form of healing is, simply caring for an animal, feeding it or stroking it, each time you help heal an animal you create an energy pattern that will make it easier for the next healer person to do so too. You have also manifested healing energy at the place you worked and for all those that were involved. This will help the next animal in need to receive healing.
The other way of helping to heal animals is to heal yourself. Self-healing may be the most simple or the most difficult kind of healing. To heal yourself is also the most powerful way of becoming good at giving healing to others. Ask yourself what bothers you most about yourself or your life, then start looking for an answer. Simply put out the thought (for example), “I would like to heal my fear of my own power”. You will be guided by inspiration. Someone MAY lend you a book, you see an article or you may decide to take a holiday to have time and peace to find out more. In helping and healing yourself you give to earth the most precious gift and thus help heal the imbalance in energy. Your are the most powerful solution to the current challenges on earth. In taking responsibility for your own healing the energy around you will shift and help heal everyone that you come in contact with, may they be human or animal. Whatever your path, be kind to yourself and to others and all that is around you.
Blessed Be.

This information was put together based on my guidance and experience in the energetic balancing of animals to facilitate their healing. The article first describes two ancient concepts that are necessary to help you understand the process of energy healing. It involves the idea of one truth - “love” and the “stuff” that we are all made of. They connect to concepts which were true and accessible to anyone prior to the existence of formal religion and are based on universal laws, albeit interpreted here by me.
I would like to take you on a short imaginative journey and share a concept with you that may help you to understand what I have learnt about animal healing to date.
Imagine first of all that there is only one truth. This is not a human made truth but something that has more eyes to see, more hands to touch, more consciousness to perceive and thus more ability to understand than a human, like me. This truth is called love. Unconditional all encompassing love, with no “ifs” or “buts”. The second thing I would like you to imagine is that everything, you, your body, the magazine you are reading right now, the cup of ‘cafe con leche’, the seat you sit on and the earth your feet touch is made from one and the same “stuff”. This stuff, whatever you would like to call it, is “ all around”. So much so that it is “in between things”. Like an artist or a photographer who does not just paint or see what “is”, but heavily relies on “what is not”... as “the space in between things”...so this “stuff” is everywhere. The reason you see “what is” is because there is a denser concentration of stuff than there is where we perceive as “what is not”. It is a vibration that has different frequencies and thus can be seen or perceive as light, colour, heat or sound or anything else that you have ever experienced. Ok, what has this amateurish explanation got to do with my passion for animals and the healing of them or indeed of us?
The term ‘healing’ has been widely used and sometimes misinterpreted, even put to the negative. In my experience we all heal all the time, maybe through writing an article or through listening to a friend, through watering the plants or indeed laying on of hands. If we define the expertise of a healer as facilitating healing, I have no problem with using the word “healer” and “healing” as indeed that is what we all do in different ways each day. For example, the car mechanic helps put things back where they belong, the dentist replaces or repairs gaps and the doctor prescribes drugs and exercise or possibly even an operation to mend that what is not functioning. They are helping or facilitating that what does not work to work again. None of these people heal, but facilitate healing. This is exactly what a healer does, the healer has been given the gift to help heal, just as the car mechanic has a gift to put a car together. Too simplistic? Ok, but for me a healer is just a person that has through many lifetimes or many years of dedication been given the tools, the knowing and the expertise to help heal a being.
Now back to the “stuff”. If you imagine that all around us is made of “stuff” than you may accept that it does not matter if this stuff makes a tree or an animal or a human. Indeed it may well be the essence we all share. If you then put in the one truth of love, then we all share the same love and the same stuff. Ok? Ok.
Now then, why should an animal be able to be healed by a human? Well, it works both ways. First of all, I have to say that I perceive the current world out of balance. Meaning, that there is too much one sided stuff around. That of negativity and fear. I feel that many of us on earth have forgotten the one truth and are even scared of it. Yes, it is not easy to define what love is from a human point of view, but we can try. So, if I perceive that there is an imbalance on this planet at this time, and that this affects everything and everyone that lives on it, than I also accept that there is an imbalance in most of us. We are trying to balance this, and if healing is nothing else, it is facilitating a being to regain balance. Life for all of us is very changeable and full of things that we perceive as good, not good or even bad. The good things take care of themselves and the bad things may get stuck. So, over a number of days, weeks or years if the stuff that is not being dealt with, gets more dense and becomes what we would call a dis-ease. We are not at ease. We feel tense and we feel stressed and we feel we are blocked and can not be ourselves. So, why should this be different for the earth, nature and the animals around us? It is not. The difference is that many parts of earth, nature and animals have no chance to walk away and start afresh. At this time of earth’s life it seems to be us, the humans that are in control of most of the living space. This would be a great thing, if all would see us humans as caretakers of all the things around us. However, this world is full of different kinds of people. Some know more than others and others have only limited access to resources. Most people on this planet have so much to deal with their own life that they can hardly take care of their own body. How can you expect them to take care of someone else, human or animal?
If we could go back to the idea that we are all made of the same stuff and that there is only one truth - that of love, then we are all the same and in the same boat, and hurting another being is like hurting ourselves. However, many people do not remember that we, the humans are all made of the same as everything else on earth, neither do they remember that we are part of the same wheel, but not the wheel itself. As we are all living in an artificial world that in many ways was human made, and have to live with this inheritance, we can only ever give our best in each situation. The same applies to an animal. Many animals suffer trauma as we do. Many animals heal us, and we do not even realise. Whatever our path, the point I am trying to make is that we are here to help heal what is not in balance. So, we are here to facilitate those that have had painful things happen to them and release them. This is one way to use healing. A doctor does not directly heal the body, he mends through operation or medication or by his council, but the body heals by itself. The wound closes and if the cause has been healed so will the condition. A healer then, works with this in a similar way, he offers the other being his energy to help heal the wounds. As all is made of the same stuff but has different frequency, healing happens on many different levels. One cannot purely talk about the physical without considering the overall well being of a being. Animals are like humans, multidimensional.
