Flower
Essences for Animals presents a bird's eye view into
the animal kingdom. It pays homage at the feet, paws, and
hooves of our animal friends by offering a treasury of practical
tools for enhancing the quality of their lives. Addressing
specific conditions and behaviors, this book provides simple
solutions for administering the best possible holistic pet health care in
both daily life and emergency situations, oftentimes immediately.
That
pets are routinely relinquished and often euthanized, if not
misunderstood — for completely correctable behavioral
problems — indicates a serious need for a book of this
nature. For the dog who barks incessantly; for the cat who
soils and sprays; for the pet tortoise who is confused by
a weather shift while preparing for hibernation: Flower
Essences for Animals presents loving, sensitive pet health care solutions.
Animals
— free from mental blocks, doubt, skepticism, placebo
effects, and myriad mental interferences — respond even
more readily than people to flower essences: holstic herbal tinctures
for strength and balance. Spirit-in-Nature Essences is the oldest essence line in the USA and one of the oldest in
the world. Developed in 1977 by the author, they are a completely
safe, nontoxic, and gentle yet powerful therapy for holistic pet health care.
In
the concluding chapter of Flower Essences
for Animals, Lila Devi
writes: "Those who share with me their flower essence
stories about their pets do so with animation, excitement,
and enthusiasm. It is never 'just a cat' or 'only a dog' whose
story they are recounting. It is a beloved, respected life
companion. Flower Essences for Animals
is not a book to convince you that animals deserve better
health care. Its purpose is to give you, a loving pet owner, the
very tools with which to do it." Lila's compassionate
glimpse into the animal kingdom is a reminder that pets can
bring us many years of happiness; and that we, through our
loving service, can return the favor.

Excerpt from Flower
Essences for Animals
"It is quite common for panic. . .to
accompany a livestock ranch's yearly roundup. Amidst a climate
of general chaos and disorientation, the calves are separated
from their mothers for the routine cattle branding, dehorning,
and castration. Last spring, a woman visiting the ranch during
roundup time 'just happened' to be carrying a bottle of the Pear
flower essence in her pocket. She poured the remedy into
the calves' watering troughs. Within one hour — longer
than usual for results, since not all the calves drank immediately
— she observed that they had all settled down. Her comments:
'This is completely unusual; I have never witnessed this calming
before.' Normally, the calves would remain restless and inconsolable
until the procedure was completed."
