Before and After a Healing
Before scheduling a healing session for your animal:
Nedda recommends having a communication session in which you and your
animal both participate. This is to gather information from you
and your animal about what is going on - what you observe, what a
veterinarian diagnosis might be, what other treatments have been and are
being used, and how your animal is feeling. In addition, the
animal must be willing to receive the healing, and that can be
determined at this time.
The healing session is usually scheduled
for a time after the phone session is completed. This allows Nedda
to totally focus on the process of facilitating the healing work.
It is recommended that the animal be resting, or at least not involved
in any activity which requires a large expenditure of energy. The
session is scheduled for a time when the animal is likely to be quiet.
After a healing:
Some animals may feel
exhausted and want to rest or even sleep; others feel very energized and
bouncy. Nevertheless, please encourage them to REST.
For horses, show dogs, and other "working" animals, please give the rest
of that day and all of the following day to integrate the healing
without requiring any work whatsoever.
Dogs
should not be going on hikes in the mountains, competing in agility
or any other competition, and should be encouraged to be couch
potatoes.
Horses
should not be ridden or involved in
anything more exciting than turn out (or stall rest when that is
appropriate for their injury/illness).
Cats?
Well, who can tell a cat what to do? Still, rest is to be
encouraged.
A follow-up
appointment is recommended to evaluate
the healing session. During a brief phone call, you are encouraged
to report your observations. Sometimes the animal's input is also
requested. This information helps Nedda and you decide whether
and/or how soon an additional healing session would be advisable.
