Energy medicine for dogs and cats

Energy medicine supports healing and wellness in both humans and animals. It uses frequency-based therapies, quantum touch, Reiki, and other modalities to vibrationally balance the body and its systems.

Energy medicine for dogs and cats offers an effective approach to healing by working with frequency and vibration to restore balance and harmony. Whether you’re supporting your own well-being or your animal’s, energy medicine offers a variety of modalities. These therapies address physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances in the body.

Defining and understanding energy 

Simply put, energy is defined as an invisible force that does something. “Energy cannot be created or destroyed,” wrote Albert Einstein. “It can only be changed from one form to another.” 

Energy provides what we call vital life force. Unlike the energy generated by the sun or a bolt of lightning, the energy that creates, maintains and supports the body is more subtle and comes from quantum realms.

Different cultures have different names for these subtle universal energies. They include Qi, Prana, Ti, Ka, Mana, Nyama, Aura, Chu’lel, Alcheringa, or Dreamtime. Within our bodies, these energies flow through channels called meridians, nadis, chakras, dan-tians, or kundalini.

Energy medicine: it’s all about frequency and vibration 

From an energetic viewpoint, we define health as inherent, fundamental, highly organized, coherent biofields in harmony with the universe and the natural world. We define “dis-ease” as a disruption, blockage, or imbalance of the subtle energy fields inside and outside the body. 

When we think about energy medicine, we need to look beyond the things we can readily see, feel, or even believe. We can’t deny that energy is the foundation of all life; energy creates and fuels life. Life is a complex interaction of subatomic particles and atoms working together to sustain existence. 

“If you want to understand the Universe you need to think in energy, frequency and vibration,” says Nikola Tesla. Everything vibrates at a certain resonant frequency — the frequency that creates optimal function. 

When our animals are sick, or have a “dis-ease,” they are experiencing an imbalance, a dissonance in the pattern of frequencies we call harmonics. To create harmony, a symphony depends on each instrument to play its part. In a similar way, the body’s health and wellness relies on each biological system to play its part. 

Also called frequency medicine, energy medicine includes a broad range of healing practices. It’s based on the idea that humans and animals are essentially energetic beings. Energy healing modalities interface at this unseen level of frequencies to create what we call resonance. 

Resonance occurs when two or more structures vibrate at the same frequency. Energy medicine practitioners view the body as a frequency-based system that can be re-tuned and harmonized. They use energy medicine to recalibrate and fine-tune the system back into harmony.

How is energy medicine applied to us and our animals?

Animals are very sensitive to energy. They are pure love and have few boundaries and filters. They easily emit and receive energetic transmissions in the form of vibration and frequencies. 

In energy medicine, healing begins with creating resonance between each bodily system’s natural frequencies and vibrations. This is demonstrated through the relationship between the atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, structural, functional and physiological systems that maintain the body. 

Energy healing modalities for humans, dogs and cats

Scientifically, energetic healing modalities are based on quantum physics. We can use various forms of energy medicine to promote healing in ourselves and our pets. These include hands-on healing, thoughtforms, movement, interventional therapies, and breathwork.

• Frequency and vibration-based modalities: These include the use of tuning forks, sound bowls, toning, drumming, music therapy, various light frequencies, and photo-biomodulation to shift the energetic state of the body.

• Quantum touch: In this technique, the practitioner uses breath and body awareness to raise their vibrational frequency, which many believe facilitates healing in others, including animals. Practitioners often use it for pain relief, posture realignment, and emotional balancing.

• Reiki and energy healing: Reiki and similar energy-based therapies are often grouped with quantum healing. Practitioners channel universal life energy into the patient to activate natural healing processes.

• Visualization and intention-based healing: Techniques that harness mental imagery, affirmations, or focused intention are common in quantum healing, in the form of mediation, prayer, or journeying. Consciousness can influence molecular or cellular processes in ourselves and our animals.

• Biofield therapies: Since we and our animals are energetically entangled, harmonizing our own energy fields will have a positive effect on our dogs and cats. Practices like coherence, healing touch, therapeutic touch rely on the idea that practitioners can influence the human energy field for therapeutic purposes. 

• Movement and bodywork: The body is a physical manifestation of highly organized energy and will benefit greatly from modalities such as Qi-Gong, Tai Chi, yoga, dance, massage, myofascial release, cranial sacral therapy, and assisted modalities such as acupuncture, homeopathy, and PEMF (pulse electromagnetic field) therapy.

• Earthing or grounding: Rolling on the ground is very natural to our dogs and cats. It feels good. They inherently know it is healing. Physically connecting with the earth’s energy allows negative ions from the ground to rebalance the electrical energy of our animal’s bodies, and our own.

• Breathwork: Mindful breathing provides fuel for the mitochondria to make energy in the body. It also nourishes tissues by delivering molecules that attach to hemoglobin in red blood cells. 

          Breathwork is also fantastic for stress management and nervous system regulation. When we take deep mindful breaths, our dogs and              cats will often take them with us.

• Food and water: You may not consider food and water energy medicine, but they are among the basic needs that fuel our energetic bodies. Focusing on energy helps us become more mindful of what we feed ourselves and our animals. Food should be fresh, organic, vibrant, and full of life.

           Staying hydrated is also paramount. Water serves as a conduit for energy transfer and transmission, as well as nutrient absorption and             utilization.

There is a simplicity to energy medicine for dogs and cats (and us!) that is both ancient and natural. It is all about rebalancing and becoming resonant with the natural world around and within us.   

This beautiful saying by National Geographic photographer Robbie George sums it up well: “You don’t need a formula to enter resonance. You need breath. You need sunlight. You need water with memory. You need grounding, rhythm, and presence.”  

How do you know if your animal is responding to energy medicine?

Most dogs and cats are very open and receptive to energy healing and often respond in non-vocal ways. During a session, your dog or cat might:

• Close their eyes
• Sigh
• Shift position toward or away from you
• Fall asleep 

Practitioners use these behaviors to guide the session. They always conduct energy medicine sessions voluntarily and with respect for the animal’s comfort.

Key benefits of energy medicine 

Energy medicine offers the following benefits to your dog or cat:

• Anti-inflammatory
• Supports immunity
• Reduces anxiety and stress
• Relieves pain and supports healing 
• Releases emotions
• Enhances bonding
• Provides support for older animals
