How Flowers Can Help Your Pet

FLOWER ESSENCE THERAPY FOR ANIMALS: "Animals are intimately attuned to the music, or vibration, of nature....the flowers and trees dancing rhythmically in the wind, the murmuring of the breeze, the whistling of the wind through rocks and mountains, the harmony of sun and moon, the movements of stars and planets, the rhythm of the days months and seasons. In their essential state, animals, birds, and plants communicate by means of the music of nature. So it is natural for flowers and animals to work together.

Animals attune on a soul level to many herbs and flowers because of their spiritual and healing properties. Animals in the wild will seek out and eat these medicinal herbs and flowers, or simply rest among them absorbing their energy. When my cat Shoji grieved for me during a long absence, he could be found, each afternoon, in a far corner of the yard napping beneath the low hanging branches of a Bleeding Heart. The signature, or vibration, of a flower is often evident in its name: Forget-me-not, Angel's Trumpet, Love-lies-bleeding, Self-heal, Passion Flower, Heart's Ease.

With close observation, one can perceive an overlapping quality in the Divine Creative Impulse that generates the morphic fields or vibrational holograms of many plant and animal species. This gives animals an instinctual understanding of various plants, regardless of whether they have ever been in contact with the particular plant before. This ability in domestic or caged animals may diminish or disappear over time because the animal is no longer in intimate contact with nature. It then becomes our obligation, as guardians, to facilitate the use of herbs and flower essences with our companion animals, and other animals that we as a species have confined to artificial environments."

I never knew how broad a range of applications flower essence had. If you don't know much about it you can go to this site. Sharon has a regular column in Animal Wellness magazine as well.
