Anima-chi Phytotherapy
Vibrational Alignment between plant and animal.
Anima is the Greek word for animal, meaning “living soul” and Chi, or prana, is the word used to describe vital life energy or life force that all living beings hold and emit. Thus, Anima-Chi describes the vital life energy that a living soul holds. Plants, or plant therapy (phytotherapy) have the ability to support this!
When an animal is losing health, no matter how intense or subtle this may be, in essence the animal is losing its own energy, or frequency. Through scientific studies on biophoton research, entrainment and other subjects we now know that, at a molecular level, all living beings emit a frequency and resonance. This is specific to the individual, but the resonate of that individual can either become too lowered or too inflamed when the animal is losing health.
Losing health firstly occurs at an energy level, where the animals energy system becomes broken, torn, disturbed or distressed. An animal’s energy state can fluctuate daily and it is important that our dogs are given regular therapies to re-align their energy systems so that deeper imbalances do not take hold. Altered energy states can occur from emotional, physical, physiological, nutritional and environmental disturbances.
It might even be that you want to learn a healing therapy as a daily check-in with your dog’s body and what s/he may need.
Energy systems can be in constant fluctuation and may be able to re-align on their own, so long as the body is able to practice parasympathetic action most of the time. However, modern day living places many stressors on a dog’s (and human’s) body and can keep the body in a prolonged state or constant state of sympathetic action – this can wreak havoc on the body – physically, emotionally, spiritually.
Plants have been used by wild animals and indigenous tribes since ancient times not only for food and nutrition but to also provide healing, medicine and vibrational re-alignment to the body. Through low level frequency, the energy of the plant can silently “communicate” to the energy of the animal and provide the body with an opportunity to return energy states to levels that promote wellness. The dog’s biochemistry can be changed via the biochemistry of the plant and its secondary metabolites, which have similar or the same active constituents that can promote positive changes within a dog’s energy system.
This therapy is both scientific and spiritual. It is both science and an art. It is both mesmerising and unbelievable. It is a powerful example of how interconnected all of life is and how plants and animals do, indeed, communicate to each other to bring about health, healing and wellness.
Both one to one sessions and group workshops can be arranged.
COMING SOON for 2020! Anima-Chi Phytotherapy for Practitioners and dog guardians!
