How Cats Take In Energy and the Importance of Healing
The August 2016 issue of the Global Pet Foods NB newsletter features an interview with Steve. Our friend and Storyhealer, Kathy Mercure, interviewed Steve and then wrote the article. She focused on the way cats are extremely attuned to energy. They may suddenly pull away, become overly affectionate, or start acting differently. No matter their behaviour, there’s often an emotional or energetic issue at play beneath the surface.
“Cats absorb the energies around them. They seem to possess a natural ability to heal without being impacted. However, if they are in a stressful environment or are experiencing grief or trauma, they can be influenced by these energies and struggle to release them.” – Steve Clayton
This is the essence of animal energy healing: providing cats (and other animals) a safe outlet to let go of what they’ve been holding onto. Stress, grief, and overwhelm — they take it in just like we do. The key difference is that they don’t always know how to deal with it by themselves.
If you’ve ever questioned why your cat responds to changes in your household, or why certain experiences seem to linger with them, this serves as a lovely reminder: cats feel profoundly, and they heal best when someone connects with them at their level.
Energy healing addresses your cat’s whole being. Healing flows to all levels: the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual planes. Animal Reiki helps to bring your pet’s body, mind and spirit into a healthy balance. It can also clear potential problems energetically before they manifest as physical symptoms.
Animals recognize the energy, and they love it! They can feel the energy in Steve and are drawn to him. Dogs on leads have dragged their humans across a park just to get under Steve’s healing hands! When on house calls, Steve frequently ends up healing all the animals in the home because they each insist on being healed.
If your cat or dog is in need of loving, safe, gentle care, Steve offers distance Animal Reiki healing as well as house calls (in the Greater Moncton area).
