Shelter Pet Healing: How Do I Know Which Technique is Best?

Shelter Pet Healing

Shelter Pet Healing: Which Healing Technique is Best?

For a shelter pet, a foster pet, an abused animal that’s been rescued, healing presents extra challenges. Because not just any healing technique is the right one or will be helpful.

The question becomes:

“What is the best way to know which kind of healing techniques should be used for a rescued, abused, shelter or foster pet?”

 

Consider the story of rescued shelter dog, Bojangles.

 

For a shelter dog like Bojangles, life has become an endless cycle inside a kennel.

Every day, he watches other dogs leave. They wag their tails, hop into cars, and drive off to new homes — to new lives.

But not Bojangles.

No one chooses him.
And he doesn’t understand why.

At first, he was hopeful. But over time, that hope has started to fade. Now, when people walk by, he quietly retreats to the corner of his kennel, feeling more rejected and invisible with each passing day.

And he hurts.

His head throbs. His vision in one eye is blurry. His stomach often feels sick.
It stings when he urinates.
His back and left hind leg ache constantly.
His ribs still hurt from when he was kicked and beaten.

He wishes someone could hear him.
Really hear him — in his language.

If they could, maybe he could ask his questions:

“Why does no one pick me?”
“Am I doing something wrong?”
“Where do the other dogs go?”

Some of them say they’re taken away to die.
Is that true?
Will that happen to him too?
How much time does he have left?

All Bojangles wants is someone to love him.
Someone who will listen…
And understand.

For an abused animal rescue dog like Bojangles, the power of a simple heart to heart conversation – and the right healing for his battered spirits, body and soul – would make all the difference in the world.

If you have questions about helping shelter animals, how to best help them heal and feel better, and ultimately find their forever homes, then this is what you need.

Because becoming a better, more competent animal communicator and healer is critically important if you are an animal advocate/guardian.

You must know how to speak their language.

 

💓🐾 Let’s circle back to answer the question:

 

“What is the best way to know which kind of healing modality should be used for a rescued, abused, shelter or foster pet?”

This a great question, because there’s a huge difference between doing whatever healing modality you like or prefer or are trained in, versus being certain that the modality you choose is what the animal most needs and wants to get the best results.

It’s a big decision, because there are many healing modalities to choose from, ranging from allopathic (conventional veterinary approaches like drugs, surgeries, tests, and the various “procedures”)…

To holistic alternative modalities like body work, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, neuromuscular techniques…

What about things like homeopathy, supplements, herbs, diet…

And then there’s energy healing like reiki, pranic healing, soul repair, BodyTalk Healing System, emotional freedom technique (EFT), Ho’oponopono Hawaiian healing prayers and many others to name just a few.

 

The BEST place to start solving any problem with shelter, abused, fostered and rescued animals is…

 

Beyond being trained in many healing modalities and then knowing which healing technique to choose to offer and in what order…

Is your ability to communicate with animals using Heart Wisdom methods, which can be very healing when done the right way.

Why do I say that?

Because the only way to know for sure what the animal most needs is to talk things over with them – listen as they share their heart and experiences, concerns and questions.

As they do, they can begin to unburden themselves of painful things.

Sometimes they don’t even need another healing modality.

When they feel heard, listened to, respected and understood, they don’t need to carry the pain or stress anymore, the symptoms ease up, they feel relaxed, comforted, clear, and at peace.

 

If they do still need more help, then it’s time to move into the next step.

 

ASK them: How can I help you? What do you need? Do you have any questions or concerns?

They will guide you from there.

But only if you are a competent, proficient communicator.

To be sure, this level of animal communication is a more advanced skill and requires the right training, opportunities to practice and get feedback, and experience to become competent.

These are the kinds of thought processes and healing I guide and coach my students and clients on that have such a profound impact on improving their ability to communicate and use their intuitive abilities with great results.

Training you to be proficient at the highest level possible makes me a super happy camper, it’s my jam in my donut, the sun in my shine, and why I do what I do.

I never hold back anything that can help you be the BEST you can be, and as you’ll discover, no questions are off limits.

 

💓🐾 These are not simple issues easily solved with superficial, simple solutions.

 

Or by only focusing on developing one intuitive ability, because there are MANY intuitive abilities, and you need ALL your senses working properly to be a better communicator.

These are the complex issues using advanced intuition, education and training, communication practice, and healing skills that I coach and mentor with my best students.

It requires healing your inner wounds so your feelings don’t block or stop you from comprehending their messages accurately.

And THAT is what makes you a better, more competent, proficient communicator in the Heart Wisdom Methods.

There are other mistakes communicators can make too, all of which I teach about how to avoid and fix.

But only if you want to be a better animal communicator and healer so you can help more animals including your own. 😊

You’ll find your invitation to train with me one on one HERE.

 

💓🐾 Students and professionals train with me to gain that “extra edge” by developing more than just the ‘average’ communicator skills.

 

You know you can do better. BE better. You want more.

You know you have inner healing to do because you can sense limitations, blocks and blind spots in your communication and in your life.

It’s why I’ve dedicated so much of my life, education and training learning about helping people heal, healing, and teaching so I can guide YOU to be the best you can possibly be.

 

💓🐾 The Heart Wisdom program is a sequence of different trainings, and the further you go, the more competent you will be in my method.

 

My “right fit” qualified students move through four levels of competence: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and proficient.

You won’t find this level of training anywhere else.

Doing this critical self mastery and inner healing work is what makes the Heart Wisdom Methods different and so much more powerful than other animal communication programs.

It’s all about mastering yourself and growing your intuitive abilities at all levels, as well as improving your ability to communicate proficiently with animals.
