Sharing Some Blog Love

by admin on April 30, 2009

When I Talk2theAnimals, sometimes the animal tells me she needs a little more help to balance herself so that the original problem her human brought to me can begin to be resolved.  Sometimes this may include the help of a trainer or a vet.

Many times the animal will tell me an alternative modality will be helpful, such as massage, chiropractic, Reiki or Bach Flower Remedies.  In massage, the muscles are kneaded to reduce, or release pain or tension.  Chiropractic involves manipulation of the spine, joints and soft tissues, putting the animal back into alignment.  Reiki and Bach Flowers work the energies of the animal.

To learn more about Reiki and Bach Flowers, I am going to point you in the direction of a couple of my blogging/Twitter buddies.  Coryelle Kramer is a Bach Flower Therapist and also an animal communicator.  On Coryelle’s blog you will find a lot of information on Bach Flowers, as well as common uses of the flower essences.

Reikifurbabies specializes in Reiki for animals.  On their blog you will find out what Reiki is, how it affects the animals, and you will be able to read some case studies and testimonials.

Happy reading and I hope you enjoy their blogs.  You very well may find a new modality for your beloved pet!

Harmony,

Janet Roper
