A spirit animal is the spiritual or energetic manifestation of an animal. This animal acts as a spiritual guide or helper. Connecting with a spirit animal can be healing – like a form of spiritual medicine. Everyone has a spirit animal that aligns with the essence of who they are. There are also helper animals and animal guides who appear temporarily, just when you need them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
During the session, we explore which spirit animal is currently close to you – one that can help or guide you, one whose energy resonates with you and empowers you; your \u2018spiritual medicine\u2019. Your birth chart can also offer insights: not only through spiritual points, but also via zodiac signs and stars beyond the familiar Zodiac, such as the constellation Swan, and the elements. Tarot (or other) cards may also be used to clarify things. You will receive the animal remedy during or after the session: to carry with you, sleep on (gives you dreams), or meditate with. If you wish, you\u2019ll also receive guidance on how to deepen your connection with the spirit animal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The animal that presents itself may not necessarily be your lifelong spirit animal. It could also be one that you need at this particular moment – for example, to stand more firmly in your power, step out of your comfort zone, bring more playfulness into your life, increase your focus, and so on. Based on your needs and intentions, we will find the spirit animal that suits your current journey. Petra will guide the session with her knowledge, intuition, and tools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The astrological part is not a full chart interpretation, but specific astrological characteristics that may be relevant for this particular session can be brought into the conversation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you\u2019d like to make an appointment, please email me. Include your birth details and briefly describe whether you want to find your general spirit animal or whether you\u2019re seeking support with something specific, so we can discover which animal is currently right for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The animal remedy is included as part of the session. I have many remedies available, though not for every animal, and not all remedies still exist. If that\u2019s the case, you may receive one that is energetically close.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
A spirit animal is the spiritual or energetic presence of an animal \u2014 a guide<\/b><\/span> and helper<\/b><\/span> from the unseen world. It\u2019s no coincidence if you feel a strong connection to a certain animal, if it keeps appearing in your life, shows up in your dreams, or if you\u2019re drawn to its images. Chances are, this is your spirit animal, and its specific qualities can support and guide you through life or a particular phase of growth.<\/p>\n A spirit animal may also appear unexpectedly in your awareness, resonating deeply within you \u2014 and when you learn about its symbolism, many pieces of the puzzle may suddenly fall into place.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat happens to the beast, also happens to the man. All things are connected.\u201d<\/i><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2014 <\/span>Chief Seattle<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div> Petra is a Classical Homeopath.<\/strong> She completed the 5.5-year training program (including the basic medical year) in Amersfoort (NL) and qualified in 1999. Since then, she has continued to attend advanced training courses, for example at the Hahnemann Institute in The Hague.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In a consultation, the classical homeopath looks for a remedy that matches the overall picture of the person. The guiding principle is\u00a0<\/span>“Similia Similibus Curentur”<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>– \u201clike cures like.\u201d The goal is to find the homeopathic remedy that specifically fits the individual. This stimulates the self-healing ability, helping you return to balance and regain your strength.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A homeopathic remedy contains the\u00a0<\/span>energy<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>of a substance. Following the method of founder Samuel Hahnemann (1755 – 1843), the substance is shaken and diluted in a specific way; it is essentially an alchemical process that releases the energy of the original material. That\u2019s why I often refer to them as energetic remedies. Remedies can be made from minerals, plants, trees, and also animals. For example, the Raven remedy is made from a small piece of feather, the Wolf remedy is made from wolf\u2019s milk.\u00a0<\/span>No animals are harmed<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>in the making of these remedies. Moreover, homeopathy does\u00a0<\/span>not<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>involve animal testing. Remedies are tested on healthy human volunteers, since they can describe what they feel, what improves or worsens, and what sensations or dreams they experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Additional Explanation from Her Book<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Krachtdieren (Spirit Animals):<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n “I spent about a week sleeping with the homeopathic remedy of the animal I was working with under my pillow. These \u2018dream provings\u2019 offered subconscious insights into the specific animal, and I began to experience more and more of the sensations associated with it. Dreams are messages from the subconscious, and through them, themes related to that particular (collective) animal energy would emerge. Dreams can bring up important topics without you having to physically experience them, such as issues around boundaries being crossed, taboos, or \u2018otherworldly\u2019 matters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The dream themes reveal an atmosphere and uncover deeper layers of the animal in question. They not only helped me but can also assist other homeopaths in recognizing an animal\u2019s energetic signature in a client.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It was truly amazing how the themes of the dreams would change as soon as a different energetic animal remedy was placed under my pillow! My (male) partner\u2019s dreams and sensations would also sometimes differ, for instance, more action-oriented, more protective, or more restless. In addition to dreams, I would increasingly tune into that animal\u2019s energy: images or sentences would come to me before falling asleep or upon waking. Even during the day, sensations would intensify and could influence my mood, and it would take a moment before I realized they were linked to the animal energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Everything is energy, and just as the core principle of classical homeopathy states that ‘like cures like,’ so too can a similar animal energy raise your self-awareness and bring healing. Knowing which spirit animal is with you or belongs to you can be a valuable tool in this process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The descriptions of the spirit animals focus on psychological traits, not physical ones. Petra uses the remedies for psychological and spiritual growth. (She no longer offers separate homeopathy consultations – homeopathy is only included as part of the spiritual coaching or the spirit animal session.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Many homeopathic principles are explained in the online (Dutch) course components of of Krachtdieren (1).<\/em><\/p>\n Her books and cards (<\/em>so far only in Dutch), and can be ordered everywhere, also at her publisher: <\/em><\/p>\n Book Krachtdieren<\/a><\/i>Animal remedies<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>
