Sometimes when an animal is sick, one uses what is at hand.  Also a backdrop
of testimonies of others form a web of successful solutions. There will
always be nay-sayers to everything.  Look at the uphill awareness around CS.

Tea Tree - which does not clearly identify the type of oil - IS NOT ALL
Essential Oils.  Personally I would never use any Tea Tree (Melaleuca
Alternifolia, Melaleuca Quinquenervia, or Melaleuca Ericifolia) on a cat.

Use what works!  This sounds great for that 'timid flighty cat'. Curious
about cats?  I found that as I came forward more, one cat became less
reserved, less timid.  Are they a mirror for aspects about ourselves? hmm..

Logical thinking - could it be related to consciousness and frequency?  Dr.
David Hawkins, MD, PhD, orthomolecular medicine specialist indicates that
when a person has moved their consciousness beyond 200 MHz that their brain
chemistry changes thus their ability to understand concepts at yet another
level.  So, this is a perpetually moving scale for us and animals.  Some
cats are smarter, more inquisitive than others.  Folks too.  See following
chart - FEAR is an effective control tool to have people comply (-200 MHz).

When a cat is seriously injured seizing one uses what is at hand.  In my
case, I have a healthy cat 6 years later instead of a dead cat.  This does
not imply it is the right way for all people.  Like chemo for folks, it got
him over a rough situation. Could it shorten his life? I don't know.  What
does chemo do to longevity?  However, if I had not done oils, my 'hug bug'
cat would not have been here for the past 6 years.

Even old cultures often did cleanses (sometimes enforced by nature not
producing food so early in the season) for a few weeks or a month in the
spring each year - curiously at the same time the gall bladder and liver
optimise cleansing on a yearly cycle.  And they live lots longer than us!

Personally, I never consider I employ alternative medicine.  I utilize
COMPLIMENTARY protocols.  It's a mental perspective.  Mentally it's smoother
when one removes 'them/us', 'warring  - 'right/wrong' duality perspectives.
Complimentary appreciates the attributes of each protocol at the level they
address.  Some protocols speak to the physical, emotional, mental and or
spiritual levels as well as aspects identified in quantum physics.

When I teach about oils I suggest people first select oils that they like -
that appear favourable to them.  Alternate between a selection of oils as
biorhytem varies from day to day, women every +/-28 days, men every
72 days. The ears don't want the same note all day long day after day,
nor does the nose want the same smell. Nature's winds of fragrance change.

Our emotions are locked in our LIMBIC brain on smell frequency via the
AMYGDALA.  Emotions like anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and joy all
emanate from this region.  The limbic system is directly connected to those
parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing,
memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, and EO's can have profound
physiological and psychological effects that are different and complimentary
to CS.  That's why smells can bring back memories from years ago.

The other four primary senses are routed through the THALAMUS, which
acts as the switchboard for the brain passing stimuli onto the CEREBRAL
CORTEX and other parts of the brain.

Observe self, and correlate with the attributes of oils.  When more
experienced, observe oils one dislikes, reacts to, or hates. Each oil will
tell you a story about the individual's conscious 'blocks' in either the
physical, emotional, mental or physical bodies.  Then oils become a partner
in consciousness growth.

Later, when one is able to find beauty in all (dissolved most blocks), they
may discover they no longer use different essential oils very much because
they have repaired the fractured, less conscious parts of their energy
fields which contributed to illnesses in the first place.  Illness is a gift
of consciousness.  Growth is optional.  Resistance is futile.

Toxic levels are critically important especially with the elderly, feeble,
deeply ill, children, and animals.  Essential oils are efficient cleansing
cells in cases of the big C etc. when one is into larger health issues.

Absolutely, when one hears frogs croaking, the environment is clean for us.
If no frogs, be aware of pollution predominating the area.  Ribbit, ribbit
... Frogs songs are a beautiful serenade and restful for those who are in
harmony with the gifts and frequencies of nature including oils.

Power vs Force, page 37: " Our study correlates well with Rupert
Sheldrakes¹s Morphogenetic Fields" hypothesis as well as Karl Pribrams¹s
holographic model of brain-mind function.  Note that in a holographic
universe the achievements of every individual contribute to the advancement
and well-being of the whole.)  Our study also correlates with the
conclusions reached by Nobelist Sir John Eccles that the brain acts as a
receiving set for energy patterns residing in the mind itself, which exist
as consciousness expressed in the form of thought.  It is the vanity of the
ego that claims thoughts as Œmine.¹  Genius, on the other hand, commonly
attributes the source of creative leaps of awareness to that basis of all
consciousness which as traditionally been called Divinity."
