Animals that are kept as pets and regularly socialize with humans will as a rule accept psychic healing more readily than those in the wild. Fluffy and Spike are provided with their basic needs of food, water, and a cozy place to sleep. Wild animals on the other hand are nearly always on the lookout for their next dinner which requires their whole attention

In 1998 I started up the Healapet Network to provide free distance healing upon request to any and all pets. Healapet volunteers from around the world have since helped thousands of pets, mostly cats and dogs, with a few horses, and the very occasional exotic ranging from a python to a lion cub. The many e-mails we have received from grateful owners have shown that distance healing for such pets can be effective.

As a psychic healer with few exceptions we have our limitations as to what we can accomplish. We cannot set a broken bone for instance. What we can do however is provide a calming influence for the animal, as well as lessen the pain and suffering. We can also channel healing energy to the pet which will speed up the healing process.

We do get reports of a miraculous recovery or a completely unexpected turnaround of a pet’s condition; whether these are real or fancied, I can’t say and I certainly would not take any credit for them. In the years I’ve been doing distance healing work, I have grown to know that I’m just a small scene in a vast scenario.

Among the volunteers with the Healapet Network are practitioners of numerous healing modalities. These include prayers, spiritual healers, Reiki practitioners and psychic healers. I’m a Reiki Master certified in the mid 1990′s, but I still practice the Seventh Sense psychic method originated by B. Bibb in the 1960′s. The seventh sense refers to the telepathic communication used to establish contact with the subject. I much prefer this method as it is simple and does not use symbols, secret words or mantras.

My preference for my particular method does not mean that other modalities are not as good, indeed some Reiki and Spiritual healers are the best among us.

For those who are unfamiliar with distance healing, also known as remote healing, at least two questions immediately spring to mind.

1. What does the term distance healing mean and just what is it?

3. How is it carried out?

In a short article like this it’s just not possible to give a full description but here is my abbreviated attempt.

What does distance (or remote) healing mean? Basically it means that you are over there someplace near or far, and I’m over here and I manage to channel (send, transmit, supply your own verb) to you the Life Force energy required to restore your body and mind to their optimum condition of health.

The expanation of how it is done depends entirely on the belief system of the healer, and often the healer has no better explanation than you or I. And while you may read many elaborate descriptions by those who profess to know, the real truth is that nobody knows The fact that it is accomplished is truth enough for most of us.

Speaking for myself only, I believe there is a Universal Intelligence, one aspect of which is the Life Force Energy which energizes the llfe spirit of all earthly creatures. As the Universal Intelligence is infinitely benign (wishing us neither good nor evil) as healers we need to open a channel for the Life Force Energy to replenish the ailing subject’s energy level. There is of course much more to it than that, but this is an article, not a book!

Can you do distance healing by making the necessary telepathic contact with your pet? Yes, if you want to take the time to learn and practice. Meanwhile here is something to try. I picked this up a long time ago, I think it may have been from one of Stuart Wildes’ books.

It’s probably late at night, you are lying awake, and you can hear a dog barking in the distance. Not an excited barking, but more of a barking for the sake of barking. Go to your alpha level (your day-dreaming state) and let a mental picture of the dog form in your mind.

Mentally place yourself close to the dog, close enough that you can reach out and start gently petting him on the head and shoulders, quietly assuring him he’s not alone and everything is fine with his world. Eventually you’ll find the dog stops barking, sometimes with a muted yelp at the end. Hey, you’re a natural, you’ve made contact with a dog!
