What is the Temporal Tap? From Yvette -

The Temporal Tap is an old technique that was actually shown me by an elderly naturopath. His information came from the early 1930’s and was very useful to repair vertebrae that were out of alignment. The method has grown since then. Dentists have been using it for years when their patients have a serious gag reflex. A few rounds of tapping and the patient is relaxed and comfortable.

I know how well it works for people. It is just as effective for animals. In actuality, the temporal tap is a way of "reprogramming" the brain. It stimulates receptors and neuropathways responsible for old habits. By tapping this location while intending the belief we want, we can "update our brain's operating system."

I have used it whenever a person or an animal was of “two minds” about something. He wants the neighbors kids to play with him, but he can’t stop barking. He wants to quit making you angry when he chases cars but his brain must chase a moving object. She may want to quit being aggressive but then who will protect you? She is so happy to see you and then she piddles. When you or your companion want do something but haven’t, there is a conscious or subconscious benefit to avoiding change.

Tomorrow's post continues the explanation of what Temporal Tapping is. Wednesday we get a few tips on how to use it. - to be continued.

Timing is Everything

A wise man once told me, “Truth isn’t truth out of timing.” Once I uncovered my skills in telepathic communication, the doorway to universal truths and unlimited possibilities cracked open. Teachers, who’d been awaiting my breakthrough, no doubt rejoiced that my rigid, left-brained paradigm was changing.

While the honing of my new talent took time and discipline, I was blessed with fabulous animal teachers who moved my learning curve along quite swiftly. Of course, everything is relative. My progress seemed rapid to my human teacher, although my animal partners were probably amazed at long it took me to consciously recognize something I’d been doing for years – and lifetimes.

While I had been learning from my animals, my newfound ability escalated my education. Much like in school, where each successive year builds upon the previous ones, I shot from kindergarten through graduate school quickly.

My truth was being unveiled in perfect timing, and the results were astounding. My recognition of and dedication to my life’s purpose sent an invitation throughout the animal world.

Master animal teachers sought me out every time I needed to open to new truths that were no longer “out of timing” for me. These generous souls’ lessons allow me to offer solutions to my clients for a myriad of physical, emotional and spiritual challenges.

I’ll be highlighting many of my key teachers throughout my columns. You may begin to recognize some of your own master animal teachers. Perhaps, your time has come. Is your truth changing?

Wind Chime Wisdom

“There is always music amongst the trees… but our hearts must be
very quiet to hear it.”

This wind chime found me during my excursion to pick out my new Lab pups. Given the fact that my log house is nestled “amongst the trees,” the wisdom is even more personal.

Not only our hearts, but more importantly, our minds must be still. Shutting down our litany of thoughts is a key factor in unlocking telepathic communication. For me, it was the most difficult part of animal communication.

Being responsible for a veterinary office, equine hospital and horse farm kept me running all day. My mind was consumed with thousands of thoughts, maybe tens of thousands. How do you control that?

My teacher suggested color meditation. This technique entertained my mind while I ignored my thoughts. It was extremely difficult, but my need to talk to animals gave me the patience and discipline necessary.

I hadn’t an extra minute to spare, but because of my deep desire to communicate, I made time. I meditated twice daily keeping those pesky thoughts at bay longer and longer while locked away in my bedroom. Looking back, I smile at the isolation I needed then.

By quieting our minds and hearts, we can touch that place within where our true intelligence resides. With quiet hearts and minds, we can hear the subtle messages of the animals & plants, the divas & faeries, the water spirits & elementals. When our thoughts cease, the door to our soul bursts open.

Divine Ice - Paul Nicklen gives us a glimpse of Arctic wonder

~ I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
- John Burroughs -

Polar Obsession. What an amazing treasure awaits with this book! Paul Nicklen is my guest Thursday, 11/12/09, on Conscious Living.

The ice encrusted world he explores and shares through his lens is absolutely breathtaking. And beyond that, his encounters with the wildlife who thrive in that arctic Eden are priceless.

This is a world most cannot engage - even on an extreme tourist trip...an ecosystem that changes as we continue to remove and/or damage all that supports it. The world Paul showcases requires a certain indomitable aptitude and ability to navigate, as well as a robust physical nature and a body thermostat comfortably set at Ice Cube.

One of the Perks

Having recently returned from the sun and surf of Aruba, I’ve just benefited from one of the perks of being an animal communicator. Even though I know I’ve left my animal family in good hands, all they know is that I’m GONE.

As I leave the barn, I share my plans with Stormy. Hana and Saba watch me remove their crates from the car and pack my suitcase, so they’re unhappy and worried. I share my plans with them plus an explanation about vacations just before I go.

Once I get to my destination, I tell them that I’ve arrived. I usually don’t communicate again until starting back unless I get an intuitive feeling to check-in. I know they miss me, but they cope better because they understand that I’ll be back. It helps me too by assuaging any guilt I’m feeling about leaving them.

Several years ago I called to tell my pet sitter that I was heading home and asked how things were. She replied, “Licorice has been barking a lot and acting really lively the past two days.” I chuckled and admitted that I’d told him about my return two days earlier. He was almost 15. Having lost his brother five months earlier, I’d worried about leaving him and checked-in numerous times.

I still get blown away every time I hear unsolicited proof that telepathic communication works. Being able to communicate with my animals does make vacations easier on all involved. Try it!
