What would our world be without animals! They are the companions of people and they exert almost unnoticeably their protecting and healing energy on us. Thus it is no accident to which animal one is attracted. Animals also search the closeness of certain people. Sometimes you even get the impression that a cat, dog or parrot has adopted the person instead of the other way round. Pets live in the field of energy that is familiar to us and they feel how we are, what is bothering us. They express it their way and we have to learn to understand their fine signals.

Each living being has a soul, no matter whether it is an elephant or a hamster. The soul enables the animal to approach people, to feel and to develop. We not only provide the animals with our affection; we also help them to better understand us humans and to grow beyond the collective animal consciousness.

Like any living being, our pets go through development stages, which are occasionally accompanied by illness, because illness has two sides. On the one hand, an illness reflects a conflict, which calls for a solution. On the other hand, the illness matures the pet and it gains valuable experience. There is no perfect health, but interplay between strengths and weaknesses.?/span>

In the relationship between humans and animals there is a special factor: The pet senses unresolved conflicts of the human and sometimes it assumes his or her burden to help the person. In this case we talk of so-called projections that show that pet and pet owner have the same illnesses. If the pet owner becomes aware of this fact and resolves the conflict, the illness of his pet disappears as fast as it appeared. Of course, it may also lie in the pet�s personality to become physically or emotionally ill.

If a pet becomes seriously ill, the pet owner should look for a holistic veterinary because the same applies to a pet as to a person: The entire animal is always sick. Therefore the entire animal must be treated and not only its symptoms. Many pet owners have to rethink. Body, psyche and soul are one entity. If the balance of the pet is impaired and particularly if it has a chronic illness, the background is an unresolved conflict. The illness is a cry for help of the body, psyche and soul that something is out of balance; that a deficit, a weakness and a blockage exists.?/span>

It may differ how this is reflected in the physical appearance or in the psychic attitude of the animal. But always all levels are affected. For the pet owner it is important to be able to do something when he notices: My animal is sick, it is depressed, inexplicably aggressive, fearful or it mourns somebody. These originally psychological problems may develop into physical problems. Therefore, it is best to learn to understand the first signs and to have help available.
