As an animal communicator I have the great privilege of listening to animals, to understand their unique perspective and assist them in cultivating harmonious relationships with their people and other animals. Following are some things they want you to know. This info is from my conversations with cats and dogs, although all animals have much to share.
- Yes, we have a soul. Like you, we are divine beings in physical form.
- Our relationship with you is sacred. We are not together by chance. Before we are born you and I have agreed to why we are together. It is always about love. We bring more love into your life. For many people it is easier to give and accept love from a pet. We are teachers and healers. Have you noticed how we know just how to make you feel better? Cats will intuitively lay on your heart chakra to heal grief.
- We have our own distinct personalities. With our own likes and dislikes. We understand we are often with you to replace the loss of a beloved person or pet. We cannot be that. Love us for who we are and allow our beautiful relationship to flourish.
- We have a soul mission just like you. I once met the cutest little pug named Toby. He was almost totally blind and was completely deaf. As I watched him run around the perimeter of his living room I could clearly see he was joy in motion. Toby wanted to learn, or more accurately remember how to find joy in every circumstance.
- We have multiple life experiences; we reincarnate just like you. For example, cute little Toby shared with me how happy he was that he was allowed to be deaf and blind and not euthanized as he had been in other life experiences. He was overjoyed, because his next dog life will be as a Seeing Eye and Hearing dog companion.
- We feel your energy more than your words. We respond to your emotional energetic field. We feel when you are happy, tired, annoyed, scared and all the other emotions. We read your energy. Pay attention, are we a mirror to your internal dialogue? Or are we showing you a different way to be.
- We aren’t naughty on purpose. Maybe we jump on your table because we are curious. Tell us verbally, and with a picture in your mind’s eye, what is on the table. Tell us this our food, yours is on the floor. Or this is my toy, yours in your basket. And yes, sometimes we like to steal your food. We like variety in our menu as much as you do. We are curious about your day. Tell us where you are and when you will be home. We like consistency. Firm, consistent and kind direction is preferred to punishment.
- Touch is sacred to Like you, affection and touch are a necessity for a fulfilling life. We will let you know how often and in which ways we want affection. It is our great joy and for some a soul mission to bring you comfort and care with our touch
- Love is our language. No matter what has happened, our love is steady. We forgive. We uplift. We vibrate in pure presence. Our love is a bridge between worlds and it never ends.
- We focus on living. We have a very different perspective on death; one we wish you would embrace. Death is not a separation, only a transition from physical to non-physical. We stay with you after we transition out of our body. For most of us we prefer a natural death, whatever the circumstance. We do not judge euthanasia, as we know many humans are learning how to accept and be present in every phase of life. We do not judge any life experience.
Please know that your animal companions are your soul mates. Animals have taken on the role of teacher and mentor. Some people need an introduction to love and compassion. To experience trust, protection and calm. For others it will be an expanded experience of nonjudgement, acceptance, intuitive communication, respect, always great love and so much more. We are connected heart to heart.
