The Healing Power of Crystals: 3 Books Every Pet Lover Should Read
If you’ve ever felt an unspoken bond with your pet, you’re not alone—and Von Braschler’s [1] Natural Pet Healing: Our Psychic, Spiritual Connection taps right into that heartwarming magic. This thoughtful read dives into how our furry companions respond to energy work, intuitive healing, and even telepathic communication. From crystal therapy to gentle touch and visualization techniques, Braschler shares holistic ways to support your pet’s emotional and physical health. It’s a beautiful reminder that healing doesn’t always come in a bottle—sometimes, it starts with intention, love, and the powerful connection we share with our animals.
Building on that idea, experts like Lisa Preston and Race Foster have also explored how crystal healing can benefit pets—yes, even cats, dogs, and horses! The concept is simple: certain stones and resins, like amber, are believed to carry healing energies. Practitioners may place these crystals near animals to encourage physical well-being or ease behavioral issues. Some even use crystal necklaces on horses to support training or drop tourmaline into water bowls to enhance water quality. Others go a step further by mixing ground crystals into pet food or water—marketed as “gem elixirs”—to offer a gentle, supplemental form of care.
Martin Scott and Gael Mariani’s [2] Crystal Healing for Animals takes a practical yet heartfelt approach to using crystals as a form of natural support for pets. The book offers guidance on selecting the right crystals, understanding their energies, and applying them safely to help with everything from anxiety to physical ailments. Through real-life stories and clear instructions, the authors show how crystals can be a gentle, non-invasive way to boost an animal’s overall well-being.
This aligns beautifully with the insights shared by Von Braschler, Lisa Preston, and Race Foster [3]—highlighting how energy, intention, and natural elements like crystals can play a meaningful role in pet healing. Whether it’s through calming touch, visualizations, or gemstone therapies, these holistic practices all point to one thing: the deep, healing connection between humans and their animals.
