THINK POSITIVE!

Is your animal suffering from some arthritis, or any type of illness or other physical condition? They would love for you to focus on what's good and healthy with them. Tell them how much you love them and how much you enjoy their company. They do not want you to focus on what's 'wrong' with them, and they definitely don't want you to feel sorry for them. Look at dogs who have three legs. They don't care, they're running around just like any other dog. They are happy! They want to be treated like everyone else!

MOMENT BY MOMENT...

Animals are our great teachers about staying in the moment. They are experiencing life moment by moment. They live in the present. What a gift to learn from our furry friends. Have you noticed that you are dwelling on the past or dreading the future? Learn from our animal partners to know that the most important thing to do is to live now, focusing our attention on the beautiful moments in our daily life.

You can even ask your pet for help to stay in the moment. Just say, 'Max,(or whatever your pets' name is).. please help me stay in the moment like you', and then thank them. They will LOVE that you've asked them for assistance and they are more than ready to assist you. Trust that they will send you the necessary energy to honor your request.

Life is so much easier when we stay in the present and eliminate any fear about our past and/or futures. Let our animal partners help us.

AHHH, A LITTLE TO THE LEFT, PLEASE!

Did you know that animals LOVE to be massaged? Take some time out and massage your animal! They love the shoulder area and hind quarters, especially. This will totally relax them and strengthen your bond.

SING....SING A SONG!

Animals LOVE when you sing to them! You don't have to be a 'singer' to lull your pet to sleep, or help them relax. They don't care if you're monotone!

When you sing to them, include compliments and praises in your song, just make it up as you go. I always sing to my cat about how much I love him, and how handsome he is and what an amazing shaman healer cat he is, he just closes his eyes and relaxes his body. :) If you have a dog and know that he or she is a real 'protector' for you and your family, thank them about that in your song, and whatever else you think they think their 'job' is. If you're not sure what your animals' job is, just praise and compliment them.

Go ahead, don't be shy, sing to your animal partner, they will love it!!

YUMMY YUMMY!

DID YOU KNOW THAT ANIMALS WILL GO TO PLANTS AND FLOWERS IN THE WILD, WHEN THEY ARE SICK? THEY INTUITIVELY KNOW WHICH ONE WILL HELP THEM GET BETTER....AMAZING!

SINCE OUR ANIMAL PARTNERS LIVE WITH US AND DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE PLANTS AND FLOWERS THAT CAN HELP THEM, WHEN THEY FEEL SICK, WE NEED TO ASSIST THEM! THERE ARE MANY COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE FLOWER ESSENCES FOR YOUR ANIMAL COMPANIONS HEALTH AND WELL BEING, FROM EMOTIONAL TO PHYSICAL ISSUES.

JUST MOVED? ADDING AN ANIMAL TO THE FAMILY? HAS YOUR NEWLY ADOPTED ANIMAL SUFFERED ABUSE? HAS YOUR ANIMAL UNDERGONE SURGERY? THESE AND OTHER ISSUES CAN BE HELPED WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF FLOWER ESSENCES. CHECK MY LINKS TO SEVERAL COMPANIES OFFERING THESE AMAZING ESSENCES. ONE OF MY FAVORITES IS GREEN HOPE FARM, AS THEY DON'T USE ALCOHOL TO PRESERVE THE ESSENCE. (http://www.greenhopeessences.com, they have a special 'animal wellness' section)

LET'S HELP OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS HELP THEMSELVES!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

Have you told your animal partner how much you love them today?

Let them know how much you love and appreciate them and all that they do. If you have an animal who is your 'protector', thank them specifically on how great a job they are doing in being a protector, they will love to hear it from you! Is your animal your heart expander? Let them know how much you appreciate them, and how they are helping you send and receive more love in your life. Whatever you intuitively know what your animal helps you with, let them know! Not sure what it is, it's okay, just let them know that you love and appreciate them for who they are. Tell them how handsome/beautiful and smart they are.

Remember to speak to your animal often and treat them as part of your family unit.

Maybe it's time for a new toy for your animal friend, they will love it!

HERE KITTY, KITTY!!!

I have found a new favorite organization. They are called Big Cat Rescue, and you can check them out at www.bigcatrescue.org.

On my last visit to Tampa, to do a program there, I was honored to have a private tour of the cats. It was amazing. Here are a few photos from my visit.

They keep the place extremely clean and the cats are grateful to be out of their abusive environments and love the staff. I 'talked' to lots of the cats and they told me the love they feel for them. It was such a heart expanding experience. Sasha, the lioness, pictured above, LOVED Reiki. We had quite the bonding experience. :)

If your looking for a place to donate, I highly recommend them. The cats will thank you, too!!

SHELTER TIME!

Have some extra time on your hands? Feel like you want to do something nice for the world, but aren't sure what to do? Volunteer at a local animal shelter.

There are many dogs that want to go for a run. Cats that need someone to come in and keep them company, and maybe clean their cage. Animals love to be spoken to with love and affection. Talk to them in a positive way and tell them how special they are. Don't bring in the energy of feeling bad for them because they are there, they will pick up on that energy. So keep it positive.

Not only will you be helping the animals, they will help you expand your heart. :) It's a win, win situation.

There is always something you can do to help out, so get on over to your nearest shelter and give some much needed love and affection to the many animals there.

EAGLE EYE!!!

Stuck in a rut? Concentrating on the mundane aspects of your life? Let Eagle help you! Call on Eagle to help you rise above the mundane so you can see your life and circumstances with a broader perspective and greater vision.

To 'call on Eagle', simply say, "Calling on Eagle, Calling on Eagle, Calling on Eagle, please help me see the bigger picture", (or whatever you want to ask, just remember to call on it 3 times). Eagle energy will help you stop focusing on the small details and help you remember the bigger picture. This will help you relax and remember what's important!

So, next time you feel overwhelmed with small details and want to remember what's really important, to really see the broader life perspective, CALL ON EAGLE ENERGY!!!!

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL!!!

Have you ever noticed that your animal friend has had the same illness or traits as you??? This is a very common thing. It's called 'mirroring'. If you notice your animal having physical symptoms similar to you, it's very important to have them stop doing this, for their health. This is what happens. They want to 'show you' this is wrong with you so you can get help to get better. What you say to them is, 'thank you so much for showing me what I need to take care of. I understand and I will take care of it, so you don't have to show me anymore. I want you to have 100% health'. Then, GO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! If you tell your animal friend that you've gone to the doctor, they will know if you are not being honest with them. So, do it, and report back to them, what the doctor said and what steps you are now taking for your health. They will be relieved and be so happy that you listened to them.

I had a friend who needed surgery and her pet needed the same surgery a month later, this is common, so remember to tell them that all you want for them is 100% health, and thank them for telling you.

If your animal friend has an illness, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have it too. If you haven't been feeling well, perhaps get checked, but don't be alarmed, they might not be mirroring something, they may just be sick.

Remember that they pick up on our energy. So, if you are constantly stressed out, they pick up on it, and get stressed themselves. There are flower essences that can help both you and your animal friend with emotional issues. Check out my resource list, they are listed there. Find one that resonates with you.

MESSAGE FROM THE ANIMALS!

The animals want us to play more! Yes, life is serious, but we can still have fun! What they see lacking in a lot of people's lives, is to live in the moment, stop worrying so much and play!!! Having a bad day? Take your dog outside for a run...it'll get you in the moment and you will share fun time with them. :) No dog, go outside anyway!!!! I've spoken to many cats recently who are concerned for their humans because they don't take time out for themselves and relax and/or play. If you're having a hard time, and feel like you just don't have it in you to 'play', it's o.k., they want you to be in the moment (don't think about the future); and know they are here for you, always.

NEW PERSPECTIVE

To form an even greater bond with your animal partner, imagine being inside their body, looking out from their eyes. Hmmm, it's a totally new perspective! Look around, notice how your animal sees his or her surroundings. If you are in touch with your intuition, you can even feel how they are feeling. Go through each body part and feel if anything aches or hurts. This can be valuable information for your vet. I was at a shelter a while back, and I was feeling that the cat's front right paw hurt him. I told the vet and they found out they had an ingrown nail, that was causing him pain. Your animal friend will know that you are trying to see things differently and will really appreciate it. They will feel respected. :)

If you want to learn more about how to communicate with animals, check my Facebook Fan Page for my upcoming Playshops on Animal Communication. If you don't see one listed, you can always tell me you're interested and I'll do one!

ADOPT ME!

When looking for a new animal to join your family, please go to your local shelter and adopt. There are so many beauties waiting for you to bring them home. Just keep an open mind, maybe the dog or cat that you want to have is at the shelter, and you won't have to 'buy' one. Think of the life/lives that you'll be saving! My cat was a little over a year when I adopted him over 14 years ago. He's amazing. I went to adopt a small, black, female kitty, but the large, white male cat won my heart. :) Buying an animal because you're attracted to a certain breed, doesn't exempt you from experiencing possible behavior issues, etc. You may find that breed in a shelter, with no 'issues'. :)

If you have existing animals and are going to adopt more, please inform the ones you have that you are in no way replacing them. Tell them how much you love them and ask they welcome the new one. There are flower essences available that help with adjusting to new surroundings, which are great for the one you're bringing home from the shelter and also for the existing animals in your home.

Enjoy the love of your animal friends. :)

DOLPHIN REQUEST!

The Dolphins know how much we love them, and want to share their beautiful energy. They request that if you wish to swim with them, to please do so in the wild. I know there are boats that go to the Ocean for this specific thing, find the one nearest you. There are Dolphin specialists that can inform you how to be with them, what not to do, etc. Please do not go where they are captured, to see them or swim with them. This promotes more captivity. Please respect and honor their wishes. :) They are more than happy to be near us, play with us, and heal us, in their playground!

What's In a Name?

Ever think it's cute to call your pet an insulting name? If they're overweight, perhaps you think a name like 'Butterball' would be cute. Or maybe your nickname for them is 'stupid' or 'dummy'. You get the drift. STOP! They don't like to be called insulting names. Do you? Yes, it's true, animals have feelings! I've worked with hundreds of animals that tell me that they don't like their name, and even suggest a new one. When the human is in agreement and immediately changes their name, the animal is instantly happier. So, give it a moment of thought and ask yourself if you would like to be called the name you are giving to your pet. :)
