I apologise for my absence from this site for a while, have been travelling a lot teaching. And now I am writing a new book, my sixth. I think I will take a bit of a writing break after that - how ever I have said that after completing every book !

So far this year I have been to Holland, Belgium, Germany and Jersey. At the end of last year I was in New York, a place I really like, and hope to be back. I spent a day at the Humane Society in New York, giving healing to the cats and dogs there. The people who run the place are wonderful, so caring and empathic.

If you are on facebook please join me there for upto date news.

With increasing numbers of people looking at natural therapies to help their pets, it is very important for therapists etc to remember that in the UK there is a veterinary act. This means that a vet must first be consulted about an animal´s problems, and has to give approval for a non vet to treat an animal - horse, cat, dog , rabbit, bird etc.
Anyone who does not work within the law can be prosecuted by the RCVS.
You can of course give natural therapies to your own pets and horses, but not if it means that the animal suffer because it does not receive veterinary attention.

So the golden rule is - natural therapies are complementary to veterinary advice and care and a vet must give approval for a non vet to treat an animal, that includes healing,animal communciation, massage, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, cranio sacral therapy, etc.When in doubt ask for veterinary approval.

I have just got back from teaching animal healing in Canada. The Canadians are genuinely friendly and very protective of the wild life in their national parks, far more measures in place than in the UK. I live in the New Forest and there are no protected areas , hence wild life here is under a great deal of stress. In Canada they often close tracks/areas to lessen human impact on wild animals and the situation is carefully monitored.

So what did I see? A female grizzly bear eating wildflowers on a hill side, a female moose and her tiny calf, a male moose with big antlers wandering down a road, elk, mule deer, eagles, hawks, white pelicans, chipmunks, ground squirrels, coyotes, a pine marten, a badger ( they look quite different to our Uk ones) , foxes , hummingbirds and lots of other beautiful birds.

My favourite place on this trip? It´s got to be Lake Louise very early in the morning before the tourists arrived - the water was as still as a mirror with the glacier reflected in it and birds singing in the forest on the mountains. Pure magic.

Met a lovely little dog called Moo last week whilst teaching. He was my demo dog and I knew little about him before I started the consultation. The first thing he communicated was a hurt left paw, then a sore back, and that he felt betrayed by some he had long trusted.

Took Moo a while to settle into the healing as he is a ´ busy´ dog, and likes to be doing something. Then he became sleepy and relaxed, leaning against me. Several big yawns followed and a big stretch.

What I picked up made sense to the owner. Moo´s best doggy pal had suddenly turned on him
( hence Moo feeling betrayed) biting his left paw in several places, and then Moo had taken a tumble off a log pile hence the sore back.

Saw Moo a week later and he was much better, all energy blockages gone - both emotional and physical.

The June copy of ´Your Dog´ magazine arrived in the post this morning and I was delighted to find a four page article about my work. The feature writer had brought her lovely giant schnauzer to me and it was really interesting what happened...as the article reveals!

It´s still pretty manic here reading the proofs for my latest book Angel Pets before it goes on the press next week, all very exciting I must say.

If you missed seeing my piece for Sky HD ´Pet Nation´ you can catch up online via the Sky website. it was great fun to do.

At last I´ve finished the manuscript for my new book ´Angel Pets - incredible true stories of animal miracles.´ It´s published in August.

Just putting the finishing touches to my teaching presentation for New York, and looking forward to meeting the pets and the people who come along to my lecture and workshop.

Spring is around the corner and it´s great to see the birds in our garden nest building, and already there are bees buzzing around too. A badger has been digging in the lawn, last year a female brought her 2 cubs onto the patio, and it was amazing to see them. There is also a Muscovy duck living in next door´s garden, he appeared about a month ago, and often sits on our house roof!

My new book is almost finished, but keep your stories coming in, because I will soon be starting on the sequel.

I would like to hear from you if you have had a telepathic/psychic experience with an animal, or your pet is telepathic. Do you communicate with pets mind to mind? What experience do you have of pets as angels? Has a pet saved your life, or the life of some one you know? Has an angel saved your pets life? Does your pet help people in some way ? Does your pet sense when people are ill or dying? I am also interested in stories about pets that you used to have with these qualities. Finally ...does your pet come back from the afterlife to visit you ?

If you would like to appear in my next book, please get in touch as I would love to hear from you.

Niki Senior, animal communicator member of PetStreet gave me a brilliant story about some wild animals who communicated with her, and I am sure that many of you also have good tales to tell about your own animal experiences.

with many healing blessings

I wish all the PetStreet members a very Happy New Year, and to your pets too.

I have 10 bird feeders on the go to help the wild birds survive this cold weather, plus I put water out every morning, as they can die from lack of a drink even if they have food. Also I have put up extra roosting boxes so that the birds can snuggle in at night. There is a wild rabbit living under our shed, with the hibernating toads, and which enjoys eating the cabbage leaves I put out for it. We have foxes, badgers and deer coming for food too.

I have been mostly housebound for a couple of weeks, living on an ungritted hill in the New Forest, but have been on some great walks; it all looks very pretty. The New Forest ponies have resorted to eating the gorse bushes. and have very thick coats to help keep them protected from this exceptionally cold weather.

My latest book is nearly complete, and my other news is that at the end of March I am off to New York´s Open Center to teach animal healing . It has been a huge honour to be invited to do this and I look forward very much to meeting some of the city´s pets. Already a dog that does TV work is booked in to the workshop, and I am also going to be working with some pets for a well known New York holistic vet.

It will be a busy year for me as most months I will be teaching in a different overseas place, including Dublin in April, Berlin in May, Seattle USA in June , Canada in July, Switzerland in October and either Florida or California in November. Then in 2011 back to New Zealand and on to Australia. In between I will be working with clients in the UK as well as running some workshops here.

Sending many healing blessings to you and your lovely pets

Margrit

For my new book ´Heart to Heart - soul conversations with pets ´ I have several stories of cats that have warned their owners about something disastrous about to happen. Does anyone have a dog story? It must be about something that was about to happen, that showed that the dog was having a premontion ... and how that saved you from injury or death.

thank you

Margrit

I am busy writing my new book about telepathy and pets so if you have any stories, anecdotes or insights I would love to hear them.

I have been looking after five sheltie dogs, four girls and a boy and what fun they have been. All different characters to deal with, each one delightful. Very bright too, as they are collie types. Keep my on my toes!

For my new book I am looking for a photo of a dog or cat, with a foal, horse or donkey. Quality must be absolutely perfect focus and a large digital file for repro in a book....

My new CD ´ Connecting with Animals´ has just been released.

It´s beautiful relaxing music to share with the pets and horses in your life.

see www.neworldmusic.com for sample play and also my website to order www.theanimalhealer.com

I have been asked to write another book, this time on communicating with pets. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has a story about sixth sense experiences with cats and dogs.

Does your pet speak to you mind to mind, how does that work for you? Do you have a pyschic dog or cat who knows things that defy logic? Has a dog or cat helped you in your life through communicating with you? Have you been able to tell a vet what was wrong, because your pet gave you the information ? Do you have dogs or cats who ´ know ´ things about each other as well as the humans in the house? All stories welcome and you may find yourself quoted in my new book!

Please email me at margrithealer@hotmail.com

I have started the New Year by listening to the music for my new CD and which is
called ´ Connecting with Animals - music to share with your four legged friends´.

It´s very calming and soothing, just what we need in these troubling times. My favourite track is called Friends for Life. The specialist company New World Music will be releasing it in the spring of 2009.

I have seen some wonderful pets and horses recently. More and more people are turning to using healing energy as a way of not only connecting with their pets, but to help them. It´s something that anyone can have a go at and my books guide you through the process . Reaching out to our spirituality and making sense of it through healing, is something that we can do through healing .

I would like to wish you all A Very Happy Christmas, and may 2009 bring your pets and horses peace and good health.

I often work with dogs and cats suffering from cancer. One dog was given seven months to live and with regular healing is still going strong 3 years later. Healing helps to boost the immune system and to help with pain relief alongside medication. Healing is also thought to destroy cancer cells, but I never make a promise of a cure. Each case is individual and there are many variables such as age and the condition.

It is important with cancer to address the diet, as cancers can be related to junk pet food with additives etc. Consult a holistic vet for advice www.BAHVS.co.uk.

Next month I am off to Northern Ireland to give a talk and demonstration for the British Horse Society, then in December I am lecturing in Glasgow at the University, on the topic of animal healing.

It´s been a busy summer for me. I went to Montana in June for a Horse experts week. What an awesome place it is. Huge snow capped mountains and wide plains with big rivers. The weather was hot but with cold nights. I saw lots of wildlife and of course cowboys!

Then when I came back I gave the talk at Waterstones in Salisbury , and 63 people came to listen to it. I was very touched by the effort that people had made to come along to the store. It was great to chat to everyone about their pets and horses. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

In August I went to Germany to look at a facility from where I can run my European courses in 2009. I will be launching the German version of my first book ´Healing for Horses´ next March at Equitana in Essen. I have been told that it is a great place to visit if you are interested in horses.

In the past couple of weeks I have been asked to do a new CD, Animal Healing volume 2, so am working on the booklet for that. It will cover the topic of communicating with pets.

And of course I have had the pleasure of spending time with lots of beautiful dogs, cats and horses!

Hi everyone

If you are able to get to Salisbury on Tuesday July 1st 2008 I am giving a talk and book signing in Waterstones book shop, 6 - 8pm. Come along to meet me and hear about my work and how you too can develop your healing gifts. Sorry no pets allowed.

Today as I was giving healing to a horse we were joined by a chorus of animal sounds. Swallows were singing their heads off , having just arrived back from Africa, a dog came to watch and started howling, and then a cockeral wandered in and did his 'cock a doodle do' bit . It was wonderful to the surrounded by all these animals making their noises...far better than any pop music!
