With experiential wisdom and refreshing humor, Lila Devi - founder of the Spirit-in-Nature Essences, the second oldest essence line in the world today - presents this treasury of practical tools for enhancing the quality of your pets' lives. Free from mental blocks, doubt, skepticism, and placebo effects, animals respond even more readily than people to flower essences: herbal tinctures for strength and balance.

From the Author

Do you love animals? If you answered yes, I wrote this book for you. (I answered yes too.) Some of the greatest joys in my life have come from the animals who have opened my heart immeasurably, and the stories of others whose pets have been helped through flower essences. Since your pets are too busy loving you to read this book, how about reading it for them?

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Guiding Wisdom for Our Pets, February 11, 2001

By 

Patricia Ruta (Tustin, MI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flower Essences for Animals: Remedies for Helping the Pets You Love (Paperback)

I had found flower essences to be an extremely useful method for myself and other humans to heal some of worries and fears of everyday life, so I turned to Ms. Devi's book with great anticipation for how I might also improve my relationship with my pets ( 1 dog, 4 cats) and how the flower essences might improve their relationships with each other and feel better about themselves. Ms. Devi gives much guiding wisdom for better understanding the living situation from the pet's perspective, and how the flower essences can most help each pet according to their individual personalities and needs. I have seen my relationship with my pets grow even more meaningful and can attest to the fact that if you attend to their emotional needs, in addition to their physical needs, you will be rewarded with the tremendous well of unconditional love which our pets have available for us. I especially like the index of personality traits and symptoms at the end of the book - very helpful for those "quick-need" situations.

5.0 out of 5 stars All pet owners should read this book., February 3, 2001

This review is from: Flower Essences for Animals: Remedies for Helping the Pets You Love (Paperback)

This is a very well written book that could be life-changing for many pet owners. It is a good read, with story after story of owner/pet problems, and their solutions via flower essences and loving observation. I have tried flower essences myself, and found them to work, but had always wondered how much the "placebo effect" came into play in the results. This book gives the answer to that question; because in animals, the mind doesn't come between the essence and the problem, and one can see clearly their effectiveness. There is also a well-organized section where one can trouble-shoot a problem quickly without reading through the main text. There is no other book like this.
