That said, flower remedies are harmless, and the act of applying them may help the owner, by giving him something to do. In the very act of applying, doing, giving, there is a powerful intent to help and heal. Like many energy-based remedies, flower remedies are undoubtedly effective due to the accompanying intent. Like Goodman, Clothier warns against the use of flower remedies by owners who want to do nothing else for their animals. Positive visualization is a very powerful tool, she says.
Dogs are very sensitive to thought pictures.
In classes, I can control most dogs by focusing my thoughts on them and sending them a picture of what I want them to do. Goodman sends her clients home with visualizing exercises. When people do these exercises, there is always a change in the behavior and in the relationship the people develop with their dogs. It is impossible to communicate through visualization and not feel the changes it generates. That's the mind's ability.
