        How to Communicate with Your Pets and Help Them Heal

        by Dr Monica Diedrich

        There seems to be an emergency in the middle of the night, but you can't get to the veterinary hospital. Or your pet is living with a chronic condition, and veterinary medicine can't do anything more to relieve it. You are on an emotional roller coaster with worry, fear, grief and an overwhelming sense of helplessness. You wish you could ask your pet to tell you what's wrong. You want, with all your heart, to "Do Something"! Animal Communicator Dr Monica Diedrich faced this very same dilemma when her two-year-old Shih-tzu was close to death. As she lay on the floor beside him, she clearly heard him say, "You call yourself a healer . . . so do something!" She did as he requested, and he experienced an almost miraculous recovery.

In each book she provides a wealth of both spiritual and practical ideas to help you, as pet parents, "Do Something" when you are faced with similar challenges. In this first book in the series, Dr Monica clearly shows you how to: Engage in a real conversation with your pets about everyday things; Discover where it hurts and what to do about it; Use intention and visualisation as a catalyst for a speedy recovery; Utilise the healing benefits of aura and chakra energy; Select from among six guided meditations to help your pet to heal; Discover your own inner power to use the healing energy of love.

        They Sang for Horses

        The Impact of the Horse on Navajo and Apache Folklore

        by LaVerne Harrell Clark

        First published in 1966 and now considered a classic, THEY SANG FOR HORSES remains the only comprehensive treatment of the profound mystical influence that the horse has exerted for more than three hundred years. In this completely redesigned and expanded edition, LaVerne Harrell Clark examines how storytellers, singers, medicine men, and painters created the animal's evolving symbolic significance by adapting existing folklore and cultural symbols. Exploring the horse's importance in ceremonies, songs, prayers, customs, and beliefs, she investigates the period of the horse's most pronounced cultural impact on the Navajo and the Apache, starting from the time of its acquisition from the Spanish in the seventeenth century and continuing to the mid-1960s, when the pickup truck began to replace it as the favoured means of transportation. In addition, she presents a look at how Navajos and Apaches today continue to redefine the horse's important role in their spiritual as well as material lives.

        Mit Achtung und Respekt Vertrauen herstellen

        by Kreuer, Susanne / Vorwort von Hackl, Bernd

        Horses are extraordinary animals and for centuries have exerted a special fascination on people. In order to be able to come into trusting contact with them, we must learn to better understand their nature, their essence. Horses are a mirror of our being, and understanding them is a moving journey to understanding ourselves. Sensitive, arousing and competent, Susanne Kreuer explains the feelings, senses, development, language, and instincts of horses and humans. How can we be fair and just when dealing with our horse and build a harmonious partnership? What is the human part in problems with the horse, and what can we do to work on ourselves in the sense of the horse? With new findings from modern psychology and behavioural research, as well as proven knowledge from her many years of professional experience as a coach in business and science, Susanne Kreuer enables her readers to see the world through the eyes of the horse and at the same time deepen their view of themselves. Kreuer's view of the similarities and differences in the nature of man and horse makes it possible to change unconscious patterns of behaviour that lead to misunderstanding, to replace them with a strategy based on partnership and thus to find a better, more harmonious way of dealing with horses. Kreuer's book enables the reader not only to take an important step towards an empathetic and understanding approach to their horse, but also to gain a clearer look at themselves. *** Pferde sind außergewöhnliche Tiere und üben seit Jahrhunderten eine unergründliche Faszination auf die Menschen aus. Um vertrauensvoll mit ihnen in Kontakt treten zu können, müssen wir lernen, ihre Natur, ihr Wesen besser zu verstehen. Pferde sind ein Spiegel unseres Seins, und sie zu ergründen ist eine bewegende Reise zu uns selbst. Einfühlsam, aufrüttelnd und kompetent erläutert Susanne Kreuer die Gefühle, die Sinne, die Entwicklung, die Sprache sowie die Instinkte von Pferden und Menschen. Wie können wir im Umgang mit unserem Pferd fair und gerecht sein und eine harmonische Partnerschaft aufbauen? Wo liegt der menschliche Anteil bei Problemen mit dem Pferd, und was können wir tun, um an uns selbst im Sinne des Pferdes zu arbeiten? Mit neuen Erkenntnissen aus der modernen Psychologie und Ver­haltensforschung sowie bewährtem Wissen aus ihrer langjährigen Berufspraxis als Coach in Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft ermöglicht Susanne Kreuer ihren Lesern, die Welt mit den Augen des Pferdes zu sehen und dabei gleichzeitig die Sicht auf sich selbst zu vertiefen. Kreuers Blick auf die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede im Wesen von Mensch und Pferd ermöglicht es, unbewusste missverständliche Verhaltensmuster zu verändern, durch eine partnerschaftliche Strategie zu ersetzen und so zu einem besseren, harmonischeren Umgang mit Pferden zu finden. Kreuers Buch ermöglicht dem Leser nicht nur einen wichtigen Schritt zu einem empathischen und verständnisvollen Umgang mit seinem Pferd, sondern auch einen klareren Blick auf sich selbst.
