Animal Communicator - Interview with Nancy Kaiser
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. - John Muir
Nice to see science validating what pet lovers have known for a long time:
Nice to see science validating what pet lovers have known for a long time:
1 - Cats know how to get their human's attention and have a special purr for that purpose.
2 - Dogs understand hand signals as well as Todlers.
And anyone who becomes fluent in the language of animals can tell you - your pet knows more about you than you might be aware. Sometimes they'll surprise you by revealing a kernel or two that you thought was under the radar.
Tune in Thursday at 11 am central time to catch the session with Animal Communicator Nancy Kaiser on Conscious Living. Here's a brief bit on Nancy from a post on a pet site:
"What began as a passion to talk to animals led to the discovery of other healing talents. Whenever I uncovered hidden abilities, animals that needed those skills found me. It was the Universe saying that I was on the right track.
I was my biggest skeptic and needed physical proof that what I was doing was actually bringing about change. I trust animals. They’re always honest, so I believed what I saw. They showed me that I was affecting positive behavioral changes. Not only was I able to communicate with them, but also offer healing modalities that allowed them to live happier lives among humans. I don’t need any kind of proof anymore.
Years ago during one of my consultations, I was told that companion animals came into existence to answer our souls’ cries for help. The earth plane is difficult to navigate. Our animals are here to help us succeed. I’d always felt like my animals were taking more care of me than I was of them. This insight was my confirmation."
Nancy's book takes you through her process of healing from some of life's challenges as she shifts her focus to a new path. The story offers insight into her choices and the wonderful benefits that came about as she faced her fears, followed her heart and grew into her life role.

Gracie's night at the Inn - a dog and her ghost story
Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem. ~ Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh ~
It isn't always apparent when a hotel guestroom already has an occupant. If I had been more clued in to our dog Gracie's behavior, we could have done the math on our additional room companions a bit quicker.
Although the activities were minor and might otherwise have gone unnoticed by a guest who chose to overlook bathroom drawers opening on their own, someone who traveled with a pet might have had a bigger challenge.
Sleeping in haunted hotel rooms isn’t a preference but sometimes it's a matter of convenience and since we hadn't booked anything in advance for this vacation (mostly because I don't like to be stuck with a preset schedule), we were up for accepting the best available space.
Our first clue: 2:30 in the morning, totally out of character, Gracie woke us up with an urgent request to go outside. While she and Andy were out, I felt something in the air brush against my arm but I couldn’t see anything with me in the room and the move was very soft and subtle so I didn't think much of it. Another hint came when I got up and noticed a drawer in the bathroom was slightly ajar so I pushed it back in place.
By this time, Gracie had returned with a perplexed Andy who said, whatever the urgent reason for the outside outing, it had nothing to do with taking a potty break. At this point I did notice she had claimed two distinct areas in the room: a very secure corner space, nestled between the wall and two suitcases on the floor and now, after her walk, right beside Andy - on the bed. Once again, we settled in for the night.
Still half asleep, just prior to getting up for the day, I had a glimpse of an arm being thrown over my side. When I felt no physical impact, it dawned on me the arm I saw looked nothing like Andy's. Affirmation came within seconds when Andy made the same move.
In the morning, as I pushed yet another cabinet drawer back into place, I asked Andy if he had forgotten to close the drawers. He said he hadn't opened any drawers and if he did he certainly would have closed them.
The kicker was when we went off to enjoy the complimentary breakfast and left Gracie in the room alone. It then became very apparent who the ghost(s) was really interested in.
We came back and opened the door to a blaring television alarm and a visibly agitated Gracie, who was now occupying the center of the bed. She wasn’t barking but was clearly relieved to see us return. The surprise: the bottom left corner of the bedspread and the sheet under it had been completely turned back off of the bed.
Gracie can often give me a clue about her encounters. I asked her if she could tell me what had gone on in our absence. Gracie said, "They wanted me to play with them but I didn't know how."
Who were "they"? Gracie couldn't help me with that but from what Andy and I sensed, one appeared to be a child. The other was an older man. Whether they resided at the hotel or were just passing through like we were, wasn't apparent.
A hotel employee offered no information. No need. Answers don't always help. So we packed and headed off to the next destination. Gracie was happy she didn't have to stay a second night.
