Here at Holistic Haven on the day of the Winter Solstice, we thought we would round off this series of videos with a short meditation. The Winter Solstice is a promise that light always returns, and so too does your own inner light grow brighter with every moment of mindfulness and intention. If you want to, and it is safe to do so, you could light a candle, set your own intentions and release the old.

So, if you would like to experience a deep calm, ensure you are sitting somewhere comfortably where you won’t be disturbed, switch off your phone, close your eyes and relax for the next few minutes. You may want to do this alone or together with your animals. Because they feel the Christmas rush too, it can help them unwind with you.

Colours for Christmas

We are instinctively drawn to colours that will support how we are feeling that day. Colours are believed to affect mood, energy levels, and physiological responses, making them a powerful tool in holistic medicine. In this video you will discover what the colours of Christmas mean and how you can use them to support you and your companion animals.

Make Christmas calm a reality, join now and feel the difference for you and your animal companions.

Tapping for Calm

Emotional Freedom Technique involves tapping on specific meridian points on the face and body with your fingers. You can use it on yourself, in a group and with your companion animals, if they consent.

It can be used to help anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, phobias, fear, food cravings, chronic pain, insomnia, improve performance and when you need to switch off and relax.

Why not try tapping to let go of the heavy stuff before Christmas. Holiday harmony for humans and animals is possible. Come and find your calm centre with our support.

Soothing Sounds

Music shapes mood, and during the festive rush it can be a powerful tool for settling both humans and animals. Here, we look at soundscapes and simple audio choices that can soften the atmosphere in your home, helping everyone unwind as preparations build.

A calmer Christmas is possible, let us show you (and your animal companions) how.

Festive Forage

Herbs, like essential oils, are also offered on a self-selection process. It should always be the dog's choice whether to interact with plant extracts, or not, therefore nothing is added to the food or drinking water. All animals have an innate ability to know exactly what and how much they need to bring themselves back into balance and good health.

This video shows you how to offer herbs to help support you and your animal companions towards a calmer Christmas.

If you would like to learn more about botanical self-healing with essential oils and herbs, TCM, EFT and other energy methods, we may be just what you’re looking for.

Calming Festive Frenzy: Breathing techniques

Christmas is a magical time filled with twinkling lights, festivities, connection, and the joy of being with loved ones, but it can also be a incredibly stressful as we try fit in all our preparations amongst our other daily tasks.

This video introduces some simple breathing methods that will lower your adrenaline and cortisol. By starting to practice these early in the season you will be able to utilise them quickly to help you calm when the house is full.

Breathing exercises can be done anywhere and anytime and are a great way to induce calmness and allow us to reset and rebalance.

Christmas calm starts with you… and continues through your companion animals

A Peaceful Beginning

Welcome to Countdown to Calm for Christmas, a series of videos which we will be posting throughout the month. December is such a busy time of year and we can often worry that there are just not enough hours in the day to do all the Christmas preparations. Our intention is to suggest some gentle, holistic methods you can practise in the comfort of your own home to ensure you have calm and less stressful December.

We discuss some simple breathing methods, how to offer essential oils and herbs to your companion animal safely by self-selection, ACE Free Work, Sound and Colour therapy, Toxic plants, Herbal teas, Emotional Freedom Technique and Animal communication.

The videos will give you a small taste of some of what we offer in depth within our premium membership. We would love you to consider joining our wonderful circle of people who have already leapt onboard. Whether you're looking to improve well-being, or simply enjoy a more fulfilling life together, our membership is your gateway to a happier, healthier relationship with your companion animal.

Hunters, Trackers & Teamwork: Instincts That Still Live On

Ancient cave art shows humans and dogs hunting side by side. Dogs ran faster, tracked better, and helped humans take down prey they could never have managed alone. Human and dog together, each playing to their strengths. Today, those instincts still whisper in your dog’s behaviour.

Your dog’s desire to scan the environment, sniff endlessly, pull you along and ‘help’ you (yes, even when ‘help’ looks like they are barking at thin air) has ancient roots.

Perhaps, when your dog does this, it’s a message about an unmet ancestral need?

Instead of correcting instinct, we can work with it; through enrichment, scent work, Free Work and other holistic support that nourishes your dog’s natural gifts and honours their ancestral programming.
