Using
Crystals for Healing Pets and Animals
There are some very simple crystal healing techniques that can
be used to help your pet or animal friend to be more comfortable
during times of stress or illness. Healing animals requires
a very strong and centered mind. An animal’s mind is not like
a human’s. Humans relate to pain. Animals react to pain. Any
fear you carry inside you can also be sensed by an animal and
amplified by the crystals. It is important to be balanced, centered,
grounded and have good intentions before you attempt these crystal
healing techniques. Crystals tend to amplify the effects and
you will need to be cautious until you determine how your pet
will react
When you
work on your pet, know when enough, is enough. Watch for "tell-tail"
signs: tail swishing, foot stamping, ears back, teeth-baring,
hair-raising, attempts to flee and other warning signals. Be
prepared to slow down or to stop the healing altogether. Crystal
healing can sometimes be too fast for the animal to integrate,
or too intense and may cause pain and other discomfort. As crystal
energy promotes rapid healing, easing off may help alleviate
the stress caused by a healing crisis. When the healing is good,
the animal will show signs of comfort and affection such as
eye-lids drooping, teeth gnashing, drooling, general softening
of muscle tissues, and sighing.
The following
are some suggestions for using crystals for healing pets and
animals. It is not intended that this information replace the
advice of a professionally qualified veterinary. As always,
seek the best available competent medical advice for your pet
or animal.
Place Amethyst
or Rose Quartz or other crystals, underneath your pet-friend’s
bed or pillow for up to 2 weeks. Be cautious of sharp edges
and position the stones to be comfortable and safe for your
pet. If the crystal energy is too intense, your pet will be
agitated and may not want to rest in their bed. If your pet
likes the crystals, you will see an improvement in their health
within a few days.
Hold the
crystal in your hand and starting a few inches away from the
affected part or injured area, rotate the crystal clock-wise.
Take your time, go slow, breath gently and evenly. Animals express
their emotions with movement, so watch if your pet wants more
or tries to move away.
Get a
small pouch that can attach to a collar and place up to 3 crystals
inside. If you put too many crystals in, your pet may feel disoriented.
Be careful that the pouch does not interfere with movement or
cause it to be caught on anything.
Warm up crystals in the sun before your healing session. The
sun gives masculine, active yang energy to the crystals. Apply
the warm crystals to injured areas. If you are using an ice
bag to reduce swellings, try a few tumbled Smokey Quartz with
the ice to help unblock over-active or inflamed areas.
Add a Rose Quartz or Amethyst to your pet-friend’s water bowel
or bucket. The crystal will leave its energy signature in the
water and when ingested, the energy go where it is most needed.
Create
a mandala or circle of crystals around your pet. You can also
try a Star of David formation with your pet in the middle. Leave
your pet-friend there for up to 20 minutes. Your pet will walk
out when they’ve had enough !
Place crystals
near a photo of your pet, pointing towards the picture. This
will help send long-distance healing and protection to your
pet.
