How Can You Help Your Animals Live Well at Every Life Stage? FREE DOWNLOAD
Help your animals live well through the last breath, regardless of circumstances, the BrightHaven way!
From a holistic perspective, it is our belief that it’s not just the physical body that becomes ill, but the entire being. In other words, removing the physical symptoms of the illness will not, despite all efforts, restore balance if we don’t also remove or repair the original cause of those symptoms in the consciousness.
By following the wisdom of animals, we created the BrightHaven Menu for Healing, which is the foundation of our work. It focuses on the best quality of life at all stages. The goal is to achieve optimal balance of body, mind and spirit, regardless of circumstances.
This menu is also affectionately known as “The Love Sandwich” as it begins and ends with love, and the healing power of love can never be overstated!
Our focus on balance explains why our animals live as well as possible throughout all life stages, which will help you to better understand how they’re generally able to die gently and peacefully. It is our firm belief that one’s quality of life will very much influence the quality of one’s dying.
From BrightHaven’s perspective, there’s a difference between curing and healing. Curing is typically thought of as achieving the absence of symptoms. Conventional medicine uses medication, surgery or other forms of external intervention to attain this outcome. It is important to keep in mind that suppression of symptoms does not always mean that the underlying causes of a disease have been addressed.
Holistic medicine looks at healing as an internal process, focused on becoming whole. It is all about restoring balance and harmony to the body, mind and spirit by igniting and working with the body’s natural healing abilities. This approach yields many benefits, including resolution of symptoms. A cure occurs when the body is able to fully heal itself.
At BrightHaven, our goal is always for healing for the highest good of the patient, which may or may not include a cure. For some, the healing experience we offer brings about improved health and a new-found love of life. For others, healing is a necessary preparation to complete the circle of life, death and for the journey beyond.

Eventually, you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is. The journey may take many lifetimes, but you will complete it. It is impossible not to complete it. It is not a question of if but of when. Every situation you create serves this purpose. Every experience you encounter serves this purpose. —Gary Zukav
