Hello Everyone!

I have no idea where this year has gone but I hope this newsletter finds you well and you are as busy as I have been. I feel that this year has been one of changes and people finding out where they 'fit' into the bigger picture. Here at The Healing Foundation I have been working on developing our future Healer training. I have several active trainers around the country. New workshops have been set up in Northampton, Shropshire and Chesham. If you have thought about passing on your Healing skills to others, please do get in touch and discuss becoming a THF trainer with me.
If anyone has anything they would like included in future newsletters, please just mail it to me. It can be an advert for your business, an article or a book review. 

Please make sure you have added my NEW email address to your contacts. This will avoid them being 'junked' or 'spammed'! It is - jackie@thehealingfoundationuk.org

ANIMAL HEALING - by Maggie Keynes
Part 2 
When a person requires healing, permission is assumed just by their request. But when an animal is brought to a healer, I do feel that a silent question directed to the animal, requiring their permission for healing about to be offered, is a polite way to start. 
From a health and safety point of view, the healer has to decide whether to offer “hands on”, or absent healing, for both are effective. 
I remember being asked to offer healing to a very large German Shepherd dog a few years ago.  His veterinary diagnosis was extremely disappointing, and his person was desperate to keep the dog stable for at least a few months, for he and the dog loved each other very much, and subsequently each could at least get used to the idea they would face a physical separation fairly soon.
Having completed all the necessary formalities, introduced myself to the dog, telling him how handsome he was, I enquired silently for his permission for me to offer him healing.  He promptly lay down on his side, relaxed completely and started to snore.  I tried not to look too hard at those massive white teeth whilst I offered this beautiful dog all the healing energy which facilitated from those who wished to help him in spirit in order to bring forth some physical improvement.  Two of his human companions present sent healing as well, and we all continued to do so afterwards.  
Despite the veterinary diagnosis, the dog took his transition about a year later, and his person was very grateful for what he termed was an extension of his canine-companion’s life.
I was also asked to offer healing to a young and growing Clydesdale gelding, already about sixteen hands high and nearly as wide.  Even though I am tall, I had to stretch up to reach his head and his spine.  Having received his permission to carry out healing, this beautiful chestnut horse stood so proudly and quietly, munching contentedly at his hay-bag, just re-arranging his massive feet now and again, so I had to be aware not to have mine trodden on.   Veterinary advice was to have this young horse euthanized, as his ailment could last him a lifetime, but his person persisted with him because she loved him so dearly, ensuring all the skills and help she could muster would help him recover, which he did - and has been put to carriage – a role for which he is happily and eminently suited.
I wish to remind animal healers here, please do not offer “hands on” healing to horses by yourself, unless it is your own horse. The animal’s person should always be present, and the horse must be tethered or restrained safely and comfortably, preferably with a distraction such as a hay-bag. A healer’s safety should never be compromised for compassion. Absent healing can always be offered instead.
