Making Eden Energy Medicine Our Own

Energy medicine for cats

I want to share my experience of energy medicine with cats for 2011.

In February 2011 my siamese, Nala, who was fifteen years old, finally started to go downhill.  She was diagnosed with cancer of the intestines two years previously and was given three months to live.  Needless to say, I gave her Neurolymphatic (NL) massage and other energy work, and she kept going strong til the beginning of this year.  In February she stopped eating.  It seemed like we were at the end of the road.

She had always loved chakra work and NL, particularly the spinal flush, so I thought that she would appreciate this at the twilight of her life.

On the Wedenesday she slipped into a coma in the morning. I was busy with client appointments and finally emerged in the afternoon.  She was lying peacefully in her basket in a coma, unresponsive.  I reached down to give her a final cuddle and whispered, "goodbye, my sweetheart, have a safe journey."  At the sound of my voice, she opened her eyes and moved out of her basket, crying softly.

I thought she might like some chakra work but every time I worked on her chakras, she moved out of my field.  She could only take a couple of steps at a time, she was so weak.  She finally died on Saturday morning.  From the Wednesday she had refused to sleep, every time she slipped into sleep she got up and moved a few steps.  I thought her root chakra might help her to pass on.  She refused to let me work her chakras.  Spinal flush was the only thing she let me do.

It was as if she knew that chakra work would help her to pass over and she didn't want to go.

Since she passed, I have had major neurological symptoms - did she sense that I needed her?  Why did she refuse the chakra work???

Two weeks ago, one of my oriental cats, Floyd, fell sick.  The vets thought he was lost.  He was no longer eating or drinking and the vets did not know why.  In desperation I gave him a spinal flush - having brought him home to die.  Ten minutes after giving him the spinal flush he got up and ate some sardines.  Since then, he has recovered fully.

So, where do I go with my EM practice on animals in 2012???????

Blue Dreaming ~ Part 1

Water is the first element and rhythm we encounter as our energies help manifest our physical bodies on our blue planet. Rocking gently within our mother's womb, suspended between time and space, our spirits are quietly nourished in the darkness until, like our primordial ancestors emerging from tepid oceans, our infant bodies are birthed into the light and air.

Like a baby within its watery cocoon, our mother planet rocks back and forth in space, her delicious energies balancing and dancing in accordance with the suspended reality and alignment of the moon, sun, planets, and the greater cosmos. Her rhythms rejoice in celebration of the endless cycles of birth ~ blossom ~ creation ~ contraction ~ release, this spiral dance soaring and diving, composed by the Greatest of all Composers, rhythms of drum beat...quick, slow, quick slow...commencing over and over again.

We are at a peak of the dance, the tempo slowed and hushed as our mother has rocked back, opening her arms and inviting the breast of her Northern Hemisphere to enter into the watery realms of Winter energies. And like the great whales of the oceans, her energies have taken a great breath and have sunk gracefully, silently into the rich, dark belly of the Earth, away from the life-sustaining sun, to rest and rebuild until the pace of the drum beat quickens once again.

This water rhythm dance is a fantastic mystery isn't it? A fine mist is suspended over the quiet land and lake here this morning and, while the scientist-aspect of my creature appreciates the intricate physics and properties of what aligns to allow such a magnificent spectacle to present itself, the spiritual-aspect of my creature holds an even deeper reverence for this element's energies and symbolism.

Since my earliest memories, water in its many forms has been a constant medium upon which to celebrate. I believe this in part because the fire rhythm is strong in me and the slow, undulating water rhythm helps to keep those fires cool.

I remember dreaming I was a mermaid when I was little, spending hours in whatever bodies of water I could find myself. I trained my lungs to hold air for (what my parents thought) "dangerous" amounts of time, yet while I was under water there was a blue, silent stillness, that cocoon of protection and connection once again where my body was weightless, carefree, unburdened. Growing into my formative years I remember listening often to a relaxation tape which had humpback whale song interwoven with etheric music and then as a young adult the gravitational pull of water invited me to spend summers and breaks serving as a lifeguard for many years. Once I finished my studies at university I consciously moved to a strip of land between the Florida Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean so that I could hear the ocean roll each night and watch the dolphin play in the waterway on my way to work each morning.

My energies find Home wherever there is water and I am grateful to the Eden Energy Medicine community for creating a transformational homecoming for me earlier this year when a group of us traveled and shared our passion on top of blue Caribbean waters. The loving gravity of the community and water paired magically with the rhythm of the local people of the islands who invited me into their personal blue stillness. I surrendered willingly into their warm cocoon of laughter, hospitality and Caribbean beat. Incredible connections were created there and I do intend to go back.

That journey also came at a serendipitous time when I was able to offer blessings to the waters of the islands in conjunction with fellow Sisterwomen from the EEM community who were traveling to sacred sites within the UK to offer similar blessings to that land's waters.

While I still dream of my mermaid-self swimming in warm waters near and far, past ~ present ~ future, I currently find myself living in the Great Lakes region of Western NY, across the street from a large field and a small lake and am within a 10-minute drive of the shores of Lake Erie. Copious amounts of time are spent outside appreciating the land and the water and celebrating the rhythms of our Earth Mother.

As I sit here this morning, watching the mist shapeshift, holding the Earth with my own body of water, I deeply look forward to this New Year of Sharing Possibilities. During this holiday season, I offer prayer for us all to sit and hold reverence for each other's sacred drum beat, in stillness and in love of our radiant light energies, and relishing our collective healing presence on this planet at this time.

And now, I inhale deeply and dive as a great whale, and dream into depths of blue stillness...
