EXERCISE AND SUN

No being including us are designed to be stagnant, to sit all day and not move the body intentionally. We are all designed to move and use our bodies. This is how the lymphatic system drains, gets rid of toxins, no movement – no drainage. Animals are designed to cover vast areas of terrain for hunting and for survival. To be stuck within four walls, be this a fence, stables, backyard, or a house, is against their very nature. It is confining and boring.

When we move, we ALWAYS travel forward, we feel better, our system calibrates from head to toe, our spirits lift, and usually we give our mind a rest especially if we are in nature and surrounded by all that she has to offer. Assuming we are not on our phones chatting or checking in on them.

During this process too, it is essential all animals’ feet, hooves, paws etc., touch the earth, the dirt. In doing so, they calibrate with the earth’s energies, her rhythms providing balancing and healing properties beyond our knowing. They also use their sense of smell to heal themselves. Access to nature and all she offers is critical to providing balance in the body, mind and spirit.

Direct sunlight is of course an essential part of the process. We all require, need, sunlight directly on our bodies, on our skin to absorb all the nutrients. We do not obtain this through glass. Direct exposure is essential for a healthy being. Please make sure your animals have access to the sun and her healing powers directly. It is so necessary.

Please Commit to “No Phone”, Choose to be Present

May I ask you to please – spend time with your animal. Be with this fabulous being. They see their walk as an opportunity to connect with you and nature so please do not be on your phone.

The Dangers of Ball / Frisbee Throwing

Of course, the animals want to make you proud!  And of course, a lot of them love to do this.  It is fun.  You are happy, they are happy!  Their family is spending time with them.

But what maybe the pet parent is not realizing is that they are hurting their structural systems and potentially impacting their organs, specifically their gut.  They are not designed to move like this regularly, much less daily.

And of course, if they are young, they should not be doing this kind of activity at all because they are still growing and forming inside and will do immense damage internally without being able to communicate this is happening.

Pain

Another point to ponder is, animals in pain – like to move fast.  The faster they move, the less pain they feel.  So, while a pet parent would think the animal would not wish to do such activities if they were in pain, this is not how they deal with pain.

This is where muscle testing is very helpful, as one can always ask “are you feeling any pain inside your body today?”  And if the test comes back affirmative, then drill down into parts of the body to find out where.  I always ask about the outside of the body too.  I suggest using a scale of 1 to 10, going up in increments of 0.1.  It is surprising how many animals are in pain for a whole host of reasons.

Dr. Peter Dobias sent out a blog about his dog, how she was always vomiting.  He drilled this back to ball throwing, having no idea this was impacting his dog in such a way.

Balls and Airways

The dangers of ball throwing, and balls in general, and a lot of vets will confirm this, is they can potentially get stuck in the airway.  Many dogs have died from suffocation from a ball going too far down.  Please choose your toys wisely.

Dogs – Leashes, Collars, and Harnesses

The thyroid is located in the neck area under the chin. The collar of course sits here, so yanking on a collar with a leash could and most likely does do a lot of damage. Vets report spinal issues in some dogs due to humans yanking on the collar. Please, never yank on your animal’s neck. And please make sure your children understand this too, as I see children do this regularly “walking the dog”.

No Spike Collars, Shock Collars, and Spray Collars

The spike collars, shock collars, and anything similar should be illegal. Please do not use them. Also, spraying an animal in the face when they bark, these collars which automatically do this, should also be illegal!

If your dog does not listen to you, then you MUST seek humane help. And this does come through these horrific devices. These collars that spray or shock when an animal barks is so damaging to the psyche of the animal, as the dog is doing what they naturally know to do. I am guessing the spray itself is toxic also.

You do not punish them, and cause physical trauma by spraying them with any substance or shocking their body. No being deserves to be treated this way. Most likely any behaviour issues / imbalances are a result of human interference. This comes in the form of vaccination, over vaccination, toxic diet, and pesticide application in the name of flea and tick, to name a few. Some animals are in so much pain from neutering they act out. All the above damage the beautiful being’s body. And this includes the brain. Lack of leadership in the pack also contributes to unbalance. Please seek humane professional help. Call me!
