Book Reviews of Love, Miracles, and Animal Healing
Book Review: Excellent book; rich in anecdotes and reports of healings
Summary: 5 Stars
Allen Schoen and Pam Proctor bring us a rich, detailed spectrum of ways in which love, intuition and complementary/ alternative therapies can help animals small and large. This book is rich in anecdotes and reports of healings on physical, psychological and spiritual levels for animals with these approaches after conventional veterinary care had exhausted its potentials to help. Schoen integrates acupuncture, homeopathy and herbal remedies in his practice.
This is a truly wholistic book, addressing body, emotions, mind, relationships and spirit - both of the animals who were helped and of their owners.
Schoen illustrates his work with many heartwarming stories of his challenges and adventures with animals and their owners.
A typical example is Schoen's description of how he nursed a wild hawk who was paralyzed from the neck down following injuries from a power line. Schoen found ways to tame and heal this wary creature so that it could recover, eventually returning to his wilderness home. As with many of his animal patients, Schoen found himself learning and growing in the process of his ministrations.
" ...no creature can remain forever closed to the healing power of love. I knew that if I could establish an intimate relationship with a bird of prey, I could communicate with any animal, no matter how distant or fearsome it might appear to be. All I would need was a sensitivity of spirit, a willingness to open myself nonjudgmentally to a dimension of reality where feathers, fur, skin, scales, or hair are stripped away - and where the only language is love.
"Hawkeye had his freedom, and now I had mine. He had given me my wings, and I was ready to soar." (p. 71)
This is an excellent book for anyone interested in learning about ways of healing that extend beyond conventional veterinary care.
Summary of Love, Miracles, and Animal Healing
In this inspiring new book, Love, Miracles, and Animal Healing, Dr. Allen M. Schoen, a renowned and widely respected veterinarian, shares healing secrets he has learned from patients as diverse as a wounded hawk, a rabbit who showed him how love can conquer death, and a German shepherd brought back to life after going into cardiac arrest. Dr. Schoen's groundbreaking insights are the products not of one man's fancy but of his frustration with the limitations of conventional medicine. While other vets pronounce a death sentence on seemingly hopeless cases, Schoen has never been content just to "put the dog down, " or "ship the cow, " or "put the horse out of his misery." Instead, he has pushed beyond conventional medical wisdom to chart new courses of healing. And time and time again, he has discovered that the deep spiritual relationship that develops between him and his animal patients, between owners and their pets, and even between animals themselves is a vital part of the healing process.Dr. Schoen shares his holistic view of animal healing in the form of instruction and example: loving tales of the animals and people he has known. If you loved All Creatures Great and Small, this book will take you one step further, from compassion to knowledge. A practical guide for living with and caring for our animal companions.
