Interesting remedy experience
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 4:52 am
As some of you know, my partner died unexpectedly in November. I've finally gotten to a point where Ignatia has started to help (surprise -- I thought "acute" meant that it should be looked at very soon after the event... I think, in retrospect, I probably needed Op first, although finally flower essences started to open things up so that the Ign could work).
In any case, my partner's cat, who was very attached, had stopped eating and drinking after my partner died, and the cat almost died as well. I had thought the cat was doing much better... but obviously he hadn't totally recovered, either.
Three days ago, I made up a solution of Ign 12c, which I have been taking in tiny sips as needed, as symptoms stop receding, once or twice a day. It's been a big help. This cat (one of two -- the other cat was not the least bit interested) was very interested in the paper cup with the remedy. To keep him out of it, I finally affixed a lid, and stashed the cup in back of a bunch of bottles on the bathroom counter. It took him 3 days to figure it out, but this morning, he managed to tip over all the bottles, bite through the paper cup and tip it over, and then lap up every last drop of the remedy. He's looked really mellow and relaxed the rest of the day!
Generally, when I give a remedy to a cat or dog, I know as soon as I approach with the remedy whether it's the one needed or not --the animal either comes up eagerly to take it, or turns away. It seems to me that this cat must really have felt attracted energetically to the Ignatia (otherwise, it was just plain water in a covered cup, and there are plenty of other, fresher, more readily available water sources). It was interesting to think, after observing this behavior, that this cat apparently hasn't finished recovering from his shock and grief, any more than I have.
I thought I'd share this, and I bet that others have similar stories to share about companion animals making it clear that they want to take a particular remedy.
