Prospectus 2008
The use of essential oils, hydrosols, herbal oils, kinesiology, 5 Element Theory and your own healing powers to reduce stress and improve well-being in animals.
Essential Balance: Philosophy and Tools.
Why essential oils?
Essential oils have been used for millennium to help keep people and animals healthy. They have a wide range of actions from anti-inflammatory to sedative and work to increase health in both body and mind. Essential oils help to reduce stress, increase an animal’s ability to learn and overcome ingrained behaviours that lead to either social or physical problems. Essential oils are a safe, natural way to help your animals be healthy and happy.
Stress, the cause of all ills!
I believe that most of what we call disease could have been prevented if we had taken care of the early signs of stress in the body or mind. By understanding what causes stress in the body and mind we can create a healthy environment and prevent illness before it happens. The immune system, digestive system and endocrine system all suffer when stress is on-going, so by reducing stress you increase health.
The advantages of Kinesiology and TCM
Combining Essential oils and the Chinese medical understanding of the body/mind complex is a profound method for getting to the root of any problem. TCM helps us understand the psychological and physical climate that causes problems to arise. Kinesiology is a ‘modern’ therapy that uses many of the principles of Chinese medicine but taps directly into the body’s bio-feedback mechanism. This allows us to interact with and understand the mental, physical, chemical and energetic make up of an individual and what will help it heal.
The human/animal relationship.
For continued good health it is important to help the animal’s carer understand what the animal needs physiologically and psychologically. Each animal and each person is an individual with a unique set of circumstances, and a therapist must be a facilitator, working with tact and understanding from a quiet and centered space, so the course teaches centering and client skills. We also touch on Animal behaviour, the physiology of stress and how to manage your animal’s life so as to reduce stress.
Why this course?
No other course has such a fully rounded approach to animal wellness. It is designed for those who want to help animals live healthier, happier lives. Level one is for the animal enthusiast who wants to learn for their own interest and the good of their own animals, or animal professionals such as vets and massage therapists who would like to use it as a supplement to qualifications you already hold. Level 2 takes you to a professional level and gives you the tools you need to work confidently and effectively with any animal who needs help because of emotional or physical discomfort.
