animal companions

Who doesn't love flowers? They are beautiful, full of life force energy, fragrant and always seem to put us in a good mood. They have been used in society for years as expressions of love, celebration, sympathy and thanks. In addition to this, the 'energies' of flowers have been utilized in healing for close to a century in the form of flower essences. These subtle but powerful vibrational energies can help to profoundly heal not only us but our beloved animal companions on a variety of levels.
Flower essences were first developed in England in the 1930's, by researcher and physician Dr. Edward Bach. The 'Bach Flower Remedies' as they are called, were developed originally for humans as a catalyst for personal growth and emotional healing but have also been used safely in animals over the past sixty years. Many other flower essence lines have been developed around the world, since that time, using Bach's methods.
One of the most commonly known Bach Flower Remedies, Rescue Remedy, is a mix of five different flower essences (Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose and Star of Bethlehem) which together help humans and animals deal with emergency situations and stressful events. Most essence producers have their own version of this remedy which is known to ease stress, distress and tension, and encourage calm, reassurance and relaxation.Yunzhi Essence is a safe alternative to a sedative or tranquilizer and can be used in animals in any emergency or stress situation. The uses are countless.
Simply put, flower essences are the energetic or vibrational frequencies of flowers captured in spring water. These frequencies contain the unique life force energy pattern or imprint of the flower,mother day and when taken internally as an essence, they awaken specific resonant qualities in the animal's soul. Animals in general are much closer to nature and flowers than we are as humans, both physically and figuratively speaking. In natural surroundings animals even have an innate knowing of which plants are essential to heal them, whether by ingesting the plant or just by resting beside it and absorbing its energy frequency. How many of you have seen cats basking in the energy of the alyssum in your flower bed, or witnessed the dandelion anointed crowns of dogs that have been rolling on a summers lawn?
In general, animals respond more profoundly and swiftly to flower essences than humans, due to the fact that they have considerably less complicated emotional and mental energy patterns. Often, the imbalances or dis-eases in their systems are absorbed from the people in the home, the environments that they are living in,office furniture or caused as a result of their failure to thrive in unnatural environments. As the animals are such sensitive energetic beings, they are also prone to suffering the collective injustices that are done to their species as a whole.
