ENERGY HEALING FOR ANIMALS AND PEOPLE


Mary Ann Bumbera (Gurnee, Illinois, 847-918-8687 wholenesshealing@comcast.net). Mary Ann is a Reiki Master, a Practitioner of Quantum Touch, Shamanism, Healing Touch for Animals and is an Animal Communicator. She specializes in distance healings, meaning distance is no object to this work.

The following text is Mary Ann's description of her work: “All beings - be they plant, animal or human - are made up of energy. And all beings have layers of energy surrounding their physical bodies. These layers - known as an aura or energy field - play an integral part in healing the physical body. An energy healer uses learned techniques to cleanse the energy field surrounding the physical body, or the energy in the physical body itself, of whatever may be preventing the body from healing. This can include anything from an unresolved emotion being stored in the physical body, to stagnant energy as a result of an injury. By releasing these blocks, the body can heal itself more effectively. Energy healing is always done with the intent of the best and highest good for the being who is receiving healing.

Energy healing works by a domino effect. To begin with, it is very relaxing. It creates a relaxation response from endorphins that are released, which causes the muscles to relax. When the muscles relax or open up, this allows for better circulation, which in turn allows for more oxygen to flow through the body, which strengthens the immune system.

Energy healing does not have to be performed hands-on. It can, with the same effectiveness, be performed long distance in the same way animal communication can be performed at a distance. Because we are all energetic beings, energy can be felt standing right next to a person/animal, or many miles away.

Energy healing can be beneficial in dealing with cancer. Because cancer is embryonic in nature, cancer cells vibrate to a lower frequency than the rest of the body. Due to this slowed down embryonic state, the body thinks it needs to feed the tumor with blood. Thus cancer grows. Energy healing helps to raise the frequency of the malignant cell to inhibit its growth. If the animal is receiving chemotherapy or radiation, energy healing is helpful. Although chemotherapy and radiation can retard or stop malignant growth, these therapies can also lower the body's basic vibration level. Through energy healing, the body's vibration can be maintained at a higher level to support the growth of healthy cells as well as assisting in pain relief.

Another way in which energy healing can be beneficial is with an animal's crossing over. By keeping the energy centers, or chakras, flowing and open, the animal can be assisted in making the energy shift that we call death.

NOTE: Energy healing is NOT a panacea or to be used in lieu of any medical protocol in dealing with a serious illness that requires a medical/holistic regimen. It is a complementary treatment to enhance a chosen protocol to clear stagnant energy in the physical and aural bodies, allowing for greater efficacy of healing. “

Mary Ann has worked on my animal friends, with amazing results. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact Mary Ann.

ANIMAL CARE, TRAINING, ANIMAL COMMUNICATORS

                            

 

Kim Meyer, Animal Communicator, Austin, Texas. Kim works with all species of animals, and specializes in rabbits. She is the woman to talk to about any and all issues regarding rabbits.  Kim has lived with animals her entire life -- cats, dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits.  She originally started communicating to find out more about rabbits who had been abandoned at area animal shelters.  Kim has been communicating with animals professionally since 2000. She holds a Reiki I certificate and is studying the use of flower essences, intuitive healing and other vibrational medicine. Kim lives in Round Rock, Texas, with her dog, cats and rabbits. She fostered for the House Rabbit Resource Network for several years, and has been a member of the House Rabbit Society since 1994.

Protect Your Pets In the Event of Your Incapacity or Death According to one estimate, one-half million pets are euthanized in U.S. shelters each year because their human caregivers have predeceased them. I can’t stress enough how important it is to ensure you have protections in place for the care of your pets should you die or become otherwise incapacitated and unable to care for them. I’m in the process of updating my pet trust and thought I’d share with you my wonderful attorney, James D. Rosenblatt. I’ve worked with James in the past in my Paralegal career, and find him as delightful in his role as my personal attorney as I did when we were coworkers. If you live in Texas, James would be happy to assist you in setting up a pet trust, whether separately or as part of a Will. You can reach James at The Rosenblatt Law Firm in San Antonio at (210) 614-9444. Please tell him you heard about him through this newsletter. Feel free to pass his name along! If you are outside Texas and interested in setting up a pet trust, check with your estate planning attorney, or search the internet for “pet trust attorney”. Let’s make sure all pets are protected in this way.

Eyes – Specialized Care Shouldn’t Be Neglected Only a handful of veterinary hospitals in the country are dedicated solely to the treatment and surgery of animal eyes. Charles Bonney, DVM and his clinic, Animal Eye Hospital, are located on East Rhapsody in San Antonio. He is my animal eye care specialist. My animals love Dr. Bonney and with good reason – he’s friendly, genuine, and is well respected by the veterinary community for his knowledge and skill (his clinic has been open since 1969). He has a gentle manner, and is a sucker for handing out a treat or three (Barney has his number!). Any time your animal friend has an eye injury, or with an older animal (I recommend starting annual vision checks at your pet’s age 6, regardless of species or breed), have their vision checked by an eye specialist. It’s much easier to prevent or stop serious problems at the first sign than try to deal with the aftermath of damage that can occur as the eye ages. I highly recommend Dr. Bonney and his staff. You can reach him at (210) 349-5831. For equine patients, farm/ranch calls are available.
 

PSYCHIC/SPIRITUAL COUNSELING, ASTROLOGY, NUMEROLOGY/RUNE REPORTS

Each of these people have their own little niche of expertise.  You may want to call each one for details about their work.  The information they convey ranges from everyday helpful to downright profound, and gives you plenty to work with. All three of them tape the phone sessions and send the cassette tape to you.  I've known each of them for 6+ years, first as a student, then as a client, now as a friend. I am blessed to know them, and they have been and are instrumental in guiding me on my life's path.

Juelle Wilkins (Crestone, Colorado, 719-256-4223) Juelle is an instructor of metaphysical/spiritual matters, cosmic consciousness and the creative force. She also acts as a channel (similar to a medium but her personality “steps aside” while this is happening) for "The Council", a collective voice of Ascended Masters and the Angelic realm who provide profound and timely information and guidance about life issues, spirituality, your path this lifetime, past lives, life changing decisions, self-limiting belief systems, and more.

Personal sessions with Juelle/The Council (by telephone) are really useful when you’re at a deciding point of what happens next and how to take those next steps. You may learn about how the principle of “cause and effect” is affecting your life now, the synchronicity of events which occur in your life, and the reasons behind them. These sessions are very interesting; anything can be explored, from personal issues this lifetime that may be blocking you from doing what you’re meant to do can be explored, to why you have not yet met your ”soulmate” and whether you have one (if that is an issue for you) , and much more. Session rate is $100 per hour.

Juelle is also the author of The Walk-In: An Inspiring Story of a Spiritual Homecoming. From the book jacket, " 'In one remarkable exchange of spirits, Shari's soul left her body and Juelle's soul moved in.' And so begins the straightforward personal account of The Walk-In, a narrative that describes the life of Shari as a girl, wife and mother, and the amazing story of Juelle, the woman Shari became. Are Walk-Ins more enlightened souls from God's reservoir of marvels who change places with a soul that is tired and yearns to go home? Has the universe throughout history sent spiritual messengers to change places with original souls whose human manifestations have divine tasks to perform? These and dozes of other perplexing, fundamental questions are addressed in The Walk-In, the marvelous, gentle and compelling story of Shari and Juelle, whose transformation may be an everyday miracle on earth." To order, see the Media-Books-Soul Awareness page on my website.

Juelle and her husband, Donovan, are dear friends of mine. I was blessed to be part of their pilgrimage to Bali, Indonesia several years ago, part of which is detailed on the page about my horse, Bubba's, passing and what it taught me. The Council’s messages have had a profound impact on my life, and have helped me make sense of my life and my path/purpose. Juelle and Donovan lead spiritual (not religious) pilgrimages each year to amazing places, and they get behind the scenes where most tourists never have the opportunity to go or to experience. My trip to Bali helped me understand spiritual questions I had, helped me find answers to issues that had been plaguing me, and helped me come home to myself in a deeper way.

Juelle and Donovan have been conducting workshops and leading international pilgrimages for many years. Juelle channels the Council, a collective voice of the Ascended Masters and the Angelic realm. I’ve been to a number of their workshops and retreats as well, and they are rejuvenating, enlightening and soul-affirming. I've had several private sessions with The Council and all I can say is, they know what I need to hear and to learn whenever I connect with them.

For a few of many channeled, profound messages from The Council to humanity, please see my Spirituality page. The second paragraph on that page provides links to those writings.

Marci Van Ausdall, Teddy Bear maker/Lavender grower/Artist  "Hi Kat! We moved to a little farm a few years ago and do what animal rescue work we can on a smaller basis on our own. 4 The Animals Teddy bear Company: I began making and designing teddy bears as an escape from the sad, sad things I saw on a daily basis as a State Humane Officer and Director of a California Humane Society. My teddy bears are all ‘one of a kind’, each lovingly hand-crafted from German Mohair with hand blown glass eyes. They come in all sizes, with realistic or comical personalities in dozens of luscious colors from rich browns and tans to lavenders, pinks and blue hues. They are all fully jointed with hand embroidered noses, shaved muzzles and festive neckwear. My bears are collector quality and are not intended for play by small children. The money from my bears all goes towards food and medical for animals we care for at our small animal rescue farm in Northern Washington. I do not have a website (no time to design one!) but will be happy to send photos of bears ready for adoption via email or by CD thru the mail. I welcome requests and offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every bear I make. These bears would make wonderful gifts and can be personalized to fit the recipient. We also grow a large, beautiful field of organic lavender here, too. It is a wonderful herb to help one to relax, relieve a headache or as a sleep aid. I have it available to ship in bunches, loose buds or as eye pillows in purple silk pouches. It is all hand picked and a true labor of love. I also make hand embroidered wool felt greeting cards (blank inside). I specialize in cats but can do all animals. They are $5. each. I enjoy doing special order colors or likenesses of your pets, too. Please email me for photos of these items.” Marci Van Ausdall, Lavender Dreams Farm, sundogjack@care2.com  509-292-1311, Washington
