Winter Time: Self Care for You and Your Animal Companions

Well, we are already into February; spring is that much closer. If you live here in the Maritimes experience has taught you winter is far from over. The days, although getting longer are still short, weather patterns do not yield many sun filled days; especially not too many in a row. The joy of Christmas and the New Year has faded; we are in a slow, cold, waiting game for more pleasant weather to arrive.

Kim and I are blessed to share our home with a young Corgi named Ginger; who loves to walk outside despite the weather. She is not happy if she cannot get out twice a day to interact with the world and with the few dogs who are also out this time of year. She becomes depressed if her walks do not happen daily. I make sure I dress properly for the day and off we go. She is instantly excited and curious to re-explore old pathways and discover new ones. I, too, am grateful to get outside daily; one can easily become distracted by all the screens in our lives forgetting that Mother Nature is alive, well and active this time of year. She has much for us to see and interact with even on the coldest of days.

We are living moving beings us human beings; being sedentary bathed in fake electronic light for hours and hours a time does not suit us mentally or physically. Taking your dog outside is highly beneficial for both of you. If you share your life with a cat or with small dogs not meant for below freezing weather getting down on the floor with them and playing will do them wonders; this will do you wonders as well.

Energy Healing

Apart from play and exercise Energy Healing is highly beneficial. For humans this can be a welcome break from the non-stop negative news and information bombarding us from our computers, TVs and phones. Daily we are inundated with more information, good and bad, than our systems were designed to handle; so, an energy healing never goes amiss. We do not have to carry around with us the negativity so freely shared on line; nor do we have to let shorter days coupled with the lack of natural sunlight cripple our own energy flow. We are mental, physical, emotional and spiritual beings all wrapped in one energetic package; amazing and scary to think about! An energy healing session will harmonize our natural energy flow; first by clearing us of unwanted energies which deplete and weigh us down. This is then followed with an ‘energetic injection’ of fresh, healthy energy to refill and re-energize our Chakra and Aura systems. We can carry on our lives with a refreshed body, mind and spirit; this is beneficial any time of year but even more so in the dead of winter.

Our animal companions also benefit greatly from energy healings. Sharing our space as intimately as we do our pets are connected to us much more closely than many of us realize. They are aware of the extra stresses we pick up and carry; they do their best to relieve us of this negative energy. In doing so they, too, can become overwhelmed; thus exercise, play and energy healing sessions benefit them greatly. Dogs and cats (any animal, for that matter) do not overthink things the way we humans do. Once an animal realizes what is about to transpire with an energy healing, they release to it completely; releasing their ‘old’ energy (a lot of which they’ve picked up from us) and accept the ‘new’ energy willingly allowing this new energy to revitalize them.

In Conclusion

Booking an energy session for either yourself or your animal companion will reap many benefits for each of you allowing you to face the rest of winter with a revamped state of being.

My apologies
To those who went before
I callously judged

The hubris of youth
The need to always be right
Are not a kind blend

The zeal to help out
Believing that one knows better
Without a deep dive

For I was certain
Assumed that I knew the ‘truth’.
I ask forgiveness

Beech Tree

Keeper of the past
Impartial, non-judgemental
Knowing its own strengths ❤

The pull between the old and the new can be confusing. Old thoughts, beliefs, can seem outdated as new information comes to light. This does mean every old thought is wrong or useless. The sense of who we are is rooted in very strong and fertile ground: love, acceptance, kindness. These should never be forgotten or abandoned with the dawning of new ideas. When you are uncertain of where you stand as society evolves around you; or when popular opinion does not resonate with what feels right to you ask the Beech Tree to help you. Your heart knows what is right; as does your body. Pay attention to their responses to events, small or large, occurring around you. When you feel you are a forest of one, call on the Beech Tree to center you; to help you remember we all come from the same source. With any new idea or situation expand by adopting that which resonates with your highest good; ignore that which does not. Judgements by, or of, others, wastes time and energy. The Beech Tree asks you to know and love yourself as you grow through life. ❤
