Time

Today’s column marks Animal Insights’ one-year anniversary. As you’re reading this, I’m on a flight back to my beautiful, albeit different, home in the High Country of North Carolina and my dear friends, Hana, Saba & Stormy.

I’d like to thank Wendy Garrett for asking me a year ago to author this weekly column. I just don’t know where the time goes. Here we are; 52 columns later.

Losing my dear friend the day before leaving for Maui made me realize how precious our time here truly is. We have no guarantees. Humans are so focused on linear time; past, present, future. Sadly, many spend their lives concerned more about past and future completely missing their lives that occur in the present.

Animals have no real concept of time, which is a blessing. All they know is Now. Animals remember very little of their past unless it was traumatic. They’ll remember the trauma, but usually not the details. They have no idea what the future is; day, week, month, or year have no meaning for them. It’s only about what’s happening right now!

When I left on vacation I told Hana & Saba where I was going and why. I touched base again when I arrived. I don’t discuss time for I know it has no significance to them. I just told them I’d be away longer than usual. I usually communicate again when I’m starting back.

Last week, I needed some Labrador energy to help process my loss, so I checked-in with them. Both were so happy because they just knew I was starting back; again, no concept of time. I felt bad hearing the confusion in their voices when I told them it was just the halfway point. I loved feeling each of their energies but felt terrible that I’d disappointed them.

Following the animals’ lesson of living in the moment is more important than you realize. Staying present eliminates tons of stress from our lives. I encourage you all to watch your pets and emulate how they live in the present. In doing so, you’ll live healthier, longer lives.

“Live each day as if it were the first day of your Honeymoon or the last day of your Vacation.” Aloha from Maui!

As I prepared to leave for Maui, I got the news that my friend, Pam, had finally transitioned. Her condition had worsened after a second stoke event. She’d been making nice progress, but I knew this complication meant Pam’s soul had decided to return Home.

I’d been updating her dog, Hans, as I received reports. I waited before I shared this dismal report. I wanted to be sure my intuition was accurate. I’ve learned over the years to trust what I’m feeling, but this was not what any of us were hoping for. Sometimes I really hate being right.

Pam never regained consciousness. Her power of attorney eventually followed Pam’s directive and removed her supportive care. I thought she might pass quickly, but Pam had an agenda that played out. She was returned to the hospice center at the hospital where she had worked for more than 50 years, which I thought was fitting.

Over the next few days, friends and family came to say their good-byes. Being 600 miles away, I couldn’t. Our friend took Hans to visit too. I communicated with him before he went, so he knew what to expect. I told him he needed to be very quiet and behave the way he did when Pam used him as a therapy dog.

Interestingly, Hans didn’t have much to do with Pam even though he was put very close to her. I found this quite educational for me. Animals look at transition as a happy event; the beginning of a new cycle. Hans told me he’d miss Pam and was sorry she was leaving, but he was happy that she was going Home. Based on Hans’ behavior toward her, I believe her spirit was already in the throes of departing.

Pam’s sudden stroke and passing teaches us to never take anything for granted. Live in the moment and don’t waste time worrying about your future, your finances, etc. You may not have a long future ahead.

Pam spent her life helping heal others. She was an amazing nurse and a more amazing friend. Even in death, she gave others an opportunity to say farewell. I’m sad for those of us left behind, but thrilled for Pam that she’s experiencing the phenomenal sense of freedom, joy & exhilaration that the animals have taught me is waiting when we return to spirit. It’s this teaching that brings me peace.

We’re both heading towards paradise….

Synchrodestiny

Even though I’ve been an animal communicator for a long time, I still marvel at the wonders of universal orchestration.
 

Last week, someone that I’d worked for two years ago, Shirlie, asked me to communicate with a new dog she’d just adopted. The last time I’d spoken with her was just before her old dog died. At the same time, her husband was fighting cancer.

Shirlie lost her husband recently and her daughters felt a new dog would help her cope with her loss. Searching the Internet, they inquired about several potential candidates. Only one person responded, which was intriguing. Shirlie met with the foster woman and Matty, a 3-1/2 year-old male, Lhasa Apso/Shih Tzu mix.
 

Matty had been roaming the streets and ended up in a kill shelter. Looking to replace one she’d adopted out, the foster gal called the shelter and asked about dogs that were running out of time. Matty was scheduled for euthanasia that very afternoon. As Shirlie recounted more of Matty’s saga, my smile just kept getting bigger.

Shirlie passed the foster gal’s inspection guaranteeing Matty’s destiny. While I was communicating with Matty, I was filled with an intuitive knowing that Shirlie was the person he was meant to be with in this lifetime. His previous history was irrelevant, because he’d been finding his way to Shirlie. When I expressed my feelings, it explained to Shirlie why he’d been calm, relaxed and happy immediately.

There were so many factors that needed to happen in order for these two to be united. If the foster gal hadn’t listened to her intuition that day and called that particular shelter, Matty would be gone.

Our intuition is a powerful tool that allows us to experience synchrodestiny; a term coined by Deepak Chopra. Don’t ignore thoughts and feelings that keep cropping up, because there is a method to the madness.

In my work, I’m blessed to see the wonders of the Universe constantly. Miracles happen frequently; one of them is named Matty. When I asked Shirlie for permission to share her story in today’s column, Shirlie quietly told me that today is the one-month anniversary of her husband’s passing. There simply aren’t any coincidences.

Transcending traditional barriers, integrating our innate animal kinship

“Animal behaviorist Kevin Richardson has such an intimate bond with big cats that he can spend the night curled up with them without the slightest fear of attack…So instinctively in tune is he with these beasts whose teeth are sharp enough to bite through thick steel, that mother hyenas even allow him to hold their newborn cubs without pouncing to the rescue.”-- Glenys Roberts, The Daily Mail (UK)

Recently, Facebook has had several videos of incredible scenes between lions and a man who  seems to be totally accepted by them. Discover more about the man in Kevin Richardson aka The Lion Whisperer's new biography. -

The Shamanic Element in Companion Animals - our saving grace

~ If you don't change, reality in the end forces that change upon you. - Stuart Wilde 

 

I make no secret of my metaphysical world but there are so many times when words fail and I am at a loss as to how to describe my encounters.

 

Animals are a constant ally. They come to me in physical and spirit form. One day, I may find a way to share what I went through with my dog, Gracie. Maybe I will find a way to explain the sort of alternate reality I fell into and managed to survive with her help at every step. Maybe.

 

There is no better companion to have than a dog who knows you better than you know yourself... and stands beside you when the dark element of the paranormal shows up to test your soul metal.... and runs interference to restore a link to the light. Our choices determine the direction. Our animal companions can save us if we...let them. 

 

♥ Gracie saved my life -- helping me to navigate a supernatural obstacle course no human could have prepared me for. We found a way to communicate: a code. That energy shifted after the event and the communication is less direct but our relationship was forever changed.

 

My respect grew tenfold. I had no idea how very important she would be when I adopted her only that her presence gave me joy and light. But when I had to face a life-threatening situation, she opened my eyes to a side of her I had never seen. Animals are not what we think. It is a story I have yet to find words for.

 

Guardian Angels walk beside us in whatever form we can allow. ♥

 

I have long been a fan of Stuart Wilde. Never did I suspect I would experience or need to find a frame of reference from within which to navigate the Supernatural of the Shamanic realm and the intertwining metaphysical complexities I now encounter.

 

My path does not mimic nor copy that of anyone else but there are some similar threads. So it helps to investigate diverse avenues to see what others are doing and have done on their journey -- those who share alternate views and experiences in this multidimensional reality.

 

It is a constant state of learning and upgrading ... the more I know of what I am the more I see in all - our potential and our interconnectedness. We are so unbelievably loaded with divine energy. Our choices determine whether we continue to stumble around in the dark or open our hearts to elevate the soul and broadcast light.

Working Weekend

It’s only fitting that I labor on Labor Day weekend. Fortunately, what I do is a labor of love. Helping animals understand what their people expect of them is something I’m committed to no matter what day of the week it is. When you’ve spent your life caring for horses every day is the same, whether Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter or Labor Day. It’s a lifestyle choice I made years ago.

Having spent my childhood through college showing horses, I love working with show horses and dogs. Preparing them for what to expect in the show ring is something I wish I could’ve done for my horses back in the day. Whether working with a youngster or an old campaigner, being part of the show team is always rewarding.

This past holiday weekend I worked with a pup on the West Coast and a seasoned, show horse on the East Coast. Making an animal’s initial experiences in the show ring fun goes a long way in creating a successful show dog or horse. Explaining to the 4-month old pup about her long car trip, the motel, judging procedures and ring etiquette worked wonders in helping her stay relaxed and focused. Winning her first class and being named Best Puppy in Show was an amazing start to a hopefully long & rewarding show career.

With the competition as tough as it is in the horse world, a small animal vet and long-time friend, has me communicate with her hunter before each day showing. I remind him about what needs to focus on in order to be successful. Sharing in my friend’s joy last Sunday, when she won two classes, ended up champion and qualified for two year-end competitions was extremely gratifying.

The stress on both the animals and people competing in today’s show rings is immense. Clearly communicating the expectations their people have of them allows show horses and show dogs to perform successfully. Daily reports allow me to work on issues before they become problems. Whether communicating with them before each show day or just until they become comfortable in the ring, the understanding that’s gained is priceless.

Congratulations to my clients for choosing to help their animals perform to the best of their abilities, which produced winning results.

The more I learnt, especially from horses, the more amazed I was at their insight into their owners and the deeper implications of their messages began to dawn on me; that there was an exchange, a two way healing. ~ Madeleine Walker

Equestrians are definitely embracing a myriad of ways to better understand their horses, whether to improve show performance or simply enjoy a more pleasant trail ride. In this book, U.K. horse and rider trauma consultant Madeleine Walker draws on her extensive knowledge to help readers gain insights into the links between past trauma / lives and present behavior.


Walker shares compelling true stories from her daily practice and she puts forth ideas that require the reader to see unlimited intuitive connection possibilities.

“When trust is established, even the most apparently aggressive and dangerous animal relaxes, and communication begins,” says Walker.

Walker can heal both horse and rider on many different levels and help us change what we see as ‘misbehavior’ in our animals. Rosie, a mare who was rescued just hours away from slaughter, could not be shoed or touched near her girth. After discerning a terrible past, Walker helped Rosie become a well-balanced saddle horse for the rest of her days.

Walker employs various forms of energy healing such as chakras, visualization, and soul retrieval to help discover emotional issues an animal may be carrying. Her central theme is that animals are our teachers and we have only to listen with open minds. There is so much we can do instead of giving up on a horse with challenging behavior. This book will appeal to all animal lovers, but particularly trainers and those presently involved in rescue.

Madeleine Walker works as an animal intuitive/healer, horse and rider trauma consultant, and empowerment coach for people. For details of her clinics and courses, or to arrange a consultation, visit Madeleine at: www.anexchangeoflove.com

Friends-In-Need

Two weeks ago, a dear friend for over 40 years suffered a serious stroke. She underwent immediate surgery and remains in ICU. She’s making slow progress each day, but is still critical. Even if all heals without complication, she’s looking at a very long recovery in the hospital and then in a rehab center.

To live 600 miles from a friend-in-need is extremely difficult for me. While I can’t visit her in the hospital, I can help her dog, Hans, understand what’s happened to his “mother.” Graciously, a mutual friend has taken Hans into her home for as long as is necessary.

When I first communicated with Hans he was very confused and worried; no different than a person would be. Although sad, Hans understood the situation after my explanation. Each time an update comes; I connect with Hans and bring him up to speed.

Fortunately, animals don’t really have a sense of time. All Hans knows is that his person may not come home for a long time. Animals are masters of living in the moment, which is the only way to handle these types of situations anyway. Hans has a cute, female toy poodle to help him cope with his new circumstances. Together they’ll pass the days and weeks while Hans’ person recovers enough to rejoin him.

As soon as I heard about my friend, I began several different methods of long-distance healing that I work with. Knowing I can access healing energies from sources other than those recognized by traditional medicine is very gratifying. By doing this every day, I know all the bases, and then some, are being covered.

I love what I do but never more than when I can help a friend-in-need. I don’t know whether her soul is ready to go Home or not. It is her choice alone. Hopefully, she’ll continue to improve, so Hans can once again scream at her while we’re talking on the phone just like always.

May your Angels always be on hand with a life boat...should you need one

The explanation says these whales were teaching a younger whale and the penguin was never in any danger.... And if one is a penguin who lacks that particular bit of info, it doesn't hurt to opt out of said training session and enjoy a change of scenery.






In terms of what the penguin learned -- it was a practice escape.
