I am constantly struggling with which of the words in the title to choose when labeling posts and therapies (and the entire blog for that matter). Turns out I am not the only one – there is a lot of confusion surrounding these terms. I’ve been meaning to write this post for a long time, and [...] Today’s post is a guest post from Julie Lines, founder and owner of Voice of the Animals in Newton Solney, Staffordshire, England. Julie is an animal communicator and she started Voice of the Animals to raise awareness about the importance of animals and to show how we can create better relationships with them and re-establishing [...] As I mentioned in the Events & Workshops list for for March and April, I am still building up the list of regularly scheduled workshops and classes in the UK, so please let me know if you know of any that belong on this list. May The practitioner list for Europe is divided into different countries, just like the school list. If you are a practitioner and would like to be listed here, please fill out the contact form and make sure to include: The business name (and your name if you would like it included) The Shelter Animal Reiki Association was founded in 2008 by Kathleen Prasad (who is also the founder of Animal Reiki Source and the featured practitioner in the first Reiki post here on AMG) and Leah D’Ambrosio, Animal Reiki practitioner, Reiki teacher and a volunteer with the Humane Society Silicon Valley. Leah D'Ambrosio Kathleen and Leah started SARA [...] As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I decided to split up the Events & Workshops lists into US/Canada and the UK. There is so much going on in the next few months that keeping them all together would result in a ridiculously long list, plus I think this makes more sense. As you can see, [...] After what has been one of the weather-wise best winters ever in my opinion (no snow, only a few days below freezing), it’s starting to feel like spring. Every morning, the birds are singing outside my window, and there is a glimmer of daylight left when I leave work in the evening. It really does [...] Zoopharmacognosy is the scientific term for the fascinating way that animals self-medicate with the help of plants. The term was coined by biochemist Dr. Eloy Rodriguez, Professor at Cornell University, and anthropologist Richard Wrangham of Harvard, and comes from the Greek “zoo” (meaning animal), “pharmaco” (remedy) and “gnosy” (knowing). Animals in the wild have been using [...] Today’s post is a long overdue review of the latest book by Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute founders Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis. Acu-Dog – A Guide to Canine Acupressure is essentially a new and revised edition of The Well-Connected Dog (which I reviewed here a few years ago), and this version is printed in color [...] Once again, the holidays are almost behind us and it’s time to get back to business. Workshop activity is picking up a bit again, and I am also in the process of updating the visiting courses for 2012 (listed at the end of each country’s school list). I should be done with that in the [...] After we lost our dog Sadie to cancer earlier this fall, it seems like we hear from friends whose pets (and/or human family members) have been diagnosed with the disease every other day. I knew of course that cancer claims many victims among both humans and animals every year, but it seems like it’s getting [...] This is the shortest events and workshops list we have had here so far. Partly because everyone is taking some much needed time off to focus on the holiday festivities (and hopefully get some rest too), and partly because I decided to adjust the lists so that they run per calendar year. So this list [...] Today’s post is a review of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Crystals by Karen Ryan, who was the featured practitioner in the Crystal Healing for Animals post (also see Using Crystals with Cows for tips from Karen on how to use crystals in barns). Karen is the founder of The Crystal Tiger in Mississauga, Ontario and [...] Today’s post is about chiropractic in general and animal chiropractic in particular. I know many people who swear by chiropractic as the optimal way to stay healthy (the veterinarian where I did my massage internship used to take the whole family, including her infant, to see a chiropractor regularly). I am also a big fan, [...] Today’s post is an interview with Carla Meeske, shamanic healer and animal communicator. Carla has been a professional Shaman for over 10 years and teaches shamanic healing and animal communication workshops all over the country. She also offers one-on-one training, webinars, and is the author of the book The Calico Shaman and the DVD Speak [...] How quickly the summers go by (even if they’re horrible like mine was). Fall is already here and with it, an abundance of classes and workshops. As always, if you know of an event that belongs on this list, please contact me and I will add it. October is Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy, or PEMF, is not a new thing. People started experimenting with using electrical currents on various conditions as far back as the 1700s, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that scientists seriously started researching electricity’s bone-healing properties. PEMF treatment on fractures in people begun in the 1970s – today, it is [...] Today’s post is about craniosacral work, a therapy that I have been curious about for a long time now, and just recently tried for myself. I grind my teeth in my sleep (pretty badly, I have cracked several) and wanted to see if craniosacral therapy could help. At the time I’m writing this, I have [...] It’s been a cold and rainy spring here in the Northeast, but hopefully the worst of it is over and we can look forward to a warm and dry summer. There are lots of various holistic health training opportunities in the next few months, and as always, if you know of an event that belongs [...] In October of 2009, our Scottie Sadie was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease. It was discovered by chance – she had her yearly checkup in early October and our vet found that she had an inflammation in her mouth and needed to have a few teeth removed. Her blood test showed elevated liver enzymes, which our [...]  |
