Janet North from Chewton Mendip is an Animal Healer and Teacher. Twice a year she teaches a two-day course on Animal Healing, in Priddy, to people who have a love of animals, some of whom are pet owners; others work with animals in care, whilst others wish to use animal healing in their working lives.
The stories that follow show how healing has made a difference to animal’s lives, whilst also ensuring they receive the veterinary treatment they need.
Margaret Jennings, of Priddy, tells how her horses Carney and Lyn have benefited from healing
“Lyn’s ailments are few, considering her age of 37 years, but an arthritic hip is probably the one of which I am most aware. Her feet are checked every day, which gives her some discomfort when lifting her near right leg. After receiving healing from Janet last year she seemed more relaxed when having her feet picked out. Several months later, some students on Janet’s Animal Healing Course gave Lyn healing - after being gently talked to and stroked, one student proceeded to work along the side of the painful hip when Lyn surprised us all by stretching her leg out as far as it would go, showing no discomfort. She then fell asleep. I was astounded that she could stretch so fully when this had often been very painful just lifting it. Lyn continues to be confident about this leg, showing no discomfort.
“Carney is generally placid and interested in his surroundings. Although large and beefy, a Shire/Exmoor cross, he is a real baby - a perpetual foal. When he received healing he relaxed so much he fell asleep.
Both horses have benefited enormously, physically, psychologically and as a relaxing experience. I thoroughly recommend it. Some of my cats, one dog and a chicken have also received healing from Janet. The most obvious benefit I was aware of was one of peace and relaxation.”
Val Bridge’s tells the story of Tess:
I first took my dog "Tess", to Janet last September. The month before the vet had informed us that her second mammary tumour (the first being 2 years before) had spread into her lymph nodes. The prognosis was not good, as she could probably already have or would soon have, tumours in her lungs. I thought, "I have to help her through this ordeal". However, we discovered earlier this year that Tess did have six tumours on her lung, a tumour in her stomach and a shadowing on her spleen.
I contacted Janet (last September) and she said she could help Tess - working alongside the vet - by building her immune system, relaxing the body, with loving, healing energy. Well, this has certainly worked with Tess, despite recently developing skin cancer, she remains a happy, loving dog, who still enjoys her food, goes for comparatively long walks twice a day and her tail is constantly wagging. Her bright eyes are still full of love and eagerness.
One day after Tess had finished a healing session, Janet said she would send a Winged Prayer (healing by thought) the following night at 9.00 p.m. That night I happened to fall asleep in the chair. Tess pushing at my hand suddenly awakened me. I looked at the clock and it was 9.00 p.m.!
Healing is a holistic therapy that works on the whole animal helping to boost the immune system, relieve pain and bring harmony and well being. It is a complementary therapy working along side veterinary treatment.
