This review is from: Hands-On Healing for Pets: The Animal Lover's Essential Guide to Using Healing Energy (Paperback)

I wish I could give this more then 5 stars. It is the most comprehensive book I've read for hands-on healing for animals. The author doesn't just offer hand placements but provides a wealth of information on other aspects that effect the pet's overall well being. The book covers scientific evidence of healing, explains auras and chakras, environmental impacts, animal communication - including a meditation for developing the ability, properties for working with crystal energy, and astrological signs that influence your pet. The last chapter discusses complementary therapies such as acupuncture, homeopathy, and chiropractic.

The only challenge I have is in the beginning of the book the author seems to oversimplify the ability for anyone to provide hands-on healing. I do believe we all have the innate ability to channel universal energy, but I believe a lot of us have "forgotten" who we are and our natural abilities. Later in the text the author does acknowledge it may take years for an individual to develop this inherent ability. Personally I recommend taking a class, whether it is Reiki, TT, HT, or any other energy healing modality if you're interested in hands on healing.

This review is from: Hands-On Healing for Pets: The Animal Lover's Essential Guide to Using Healing Energy (Paperback)

I am a certified holistic health practitoner, and the owner of Reiki4Paws in Arizona. As a practitioner, I get many questions and often need to find resources for clients, so I read many books. This book is one of the best resources I've read for people who are new to energy healing. I actually bought a copy for my vet. Ms. Coates explains the basics clearly, without confusing readers about the different names for different philosophies or modalities. Many of the differences come about simply through evolution of one method or cultural differences. In this book, the basics are presented, along with scientific information. Readers also get enough information to do further research, if they desire.

I have read many books on healing, but this one is a winner, not only for beginners but for experienced healers.

When you start out learning to heal it can be a confusing time, but this book puts you on the right track immediately with simple and easy to understand methods.

If you love animals this book also can be a great source of comfort to be able to apply these methods that are taught in such simple terms to a loved animal.
