I’m Nels Rasmussen and today I want to share some insights about chronic mobility issues in dogs and cats.
Over the years I’ve had quite few people say something like,
“My dog (or cat) has been limping for a year. They’ve had laser, acupuncture, chiropractic, and drugs without any lasting results. Why would spiritual healing or energy balancing work when nothing else has?”
That’s a fair question.
First, there are two reasons many treatments and therapies don’t have lasting results.
The most common reason a treatment doesn’t work, is that the treatment is not being applied to the cause of the problem, but to the symptom. This is typical of most drug therapies for limping, weakness or paralysis. They are focused on treating inflammation of soft tissues like muscles, ligaments and nerves without regard to what may be causing it.
Similarly, doing a chiropractic adjustment or acupuncture treatment on the area of pain or injury is usually not working on the cause but on the effect, and so results will be limited.
The symptom is the result of something that caused it, and so treating that effect tends to have temporary results that fade when the therapy stops. Lasting results come from determining the true cause of the problem and then correcting the cause.
The other big reason a treatment or therapy doesn’t work, even if you are applying it to the area of cause, is that the treatment modality doesn’t resonate with the body. For example, laser has become a big thing, and it does help relieve symptoms in many situations by bringing energy into the system, but the energy in a laser is not matched to the body on which it is used. It is coherent energy; whereas, bio-energy is chaotic and full of a variety of frequencies at very subtle amplitudes.
Bio-energy is the body’s own life force and so it is perfectly matched to the needs of the body. When healing is not happening, it is because the life force is being interfered with. It can’t ebb and flow as needed.
Often, it is like the switch is stuck in the on position. This is due to the animal being stuck in a fight flight response. To deal with the scary or traumatic event the body has switched on the emergency response system. To allow for healing, this system needs to be switched off again.
My gentle touch approach that lovingly resets the fight flight response and entices the bio-energy to ebb and flow where and when it is needed allows for rest and healing to resume.
This is what allows healing to take place even when a variety of modalities have already been tried. Nothing is added or subtracted. It is balanced, as it was in the beginning
