Animal Communication
Communication is a fundamental aspect of life on our planet, not limited to humans alone. Animals, too, have their unique languages, methods of expression, and ways of conveying information to one another.
Animals, like humans, communicate for various purposes: to express emotions, convey needs, establish social hierarchies, and even engage in courtship rituals. From the majestic songs of whales echoing through the ocean depths to the intricate dances of bees in a hive, the animal kingdom is filled with astonishing forms of communication.
Animal Communication is the transfer of thoughts, feelings and energy through telepathy and can help with all kinds of issues:
Physical ailments or challenges, moving an animal to a new home, journeys through the loss of a human or animal friend, past traumas or histories, surgeries and medical treatments (before, during and after), making the transition to non- physical, etc., as well communicating with deceased and lost pets.
"For animal lovers, direct telepathic communication boosts the understanding, joy and richness possible in relationships with their animal companions and all of life.
When we look at the roots of the word 'telepathy,' we find that it means 'feeling across a distance.' Telepathic communication involves the direct transmission of feelings, intentions, thoughts, mental images, emotions, impressions, sensations, and pure knowing." Penelope Smith, one of my instructors
Animal Reiki
Reiki comes from the Japanese words Rei, meaning spirit and Ki, meaning energy, so really, it translates to spiritual energy or universal life-force energy.
Animals have a natural understanding of Reiki and enjoy receiving it. Reiki provides them with the same benefits and healing we experience as humans, making it an effective method of caring for injuries, emotional issues or virtually any problem an animal might experience.
Reiki offers the following benefits to animals:
- Alleviating anxiety, stress, nervousness and producing a state of calm
- Increasing energy levels and overall well-being
- Supplementing medical treatments
- Helping to heal after surgery, injury, or trauma
- Relieving aches, pains, strains, and allergies
- Addressing issues with the coat, skin, or feathers
- Getting pets through depression or bereavement
- Guardians benefit from knowing they are passing along loving-kindness and healing, all of which strengthen the bond between you and your pet
The powerful healing energy of Reiki can bring on a bevy of benefits for pets as well as their Guardians.
End of Life Transitions
Navigating an animal's end of life is one of the most difficult challenges a loving Guardian can face, and yet, at the same time, it can bring a peace that you have never experienced.
I know how difficult these decisions can be. Even more so, if there are family members (or even you) who simply are not ready to say goodbye.
My role is to help you and your family understand the end of life process for animals, be a loving shoulder to cry on, be a resource for whatever your family needs, and, walk with you through your grief. Our end game will be for you and your family to move through the grief process as gently and quickly as possible, and ultimately find a way to miss and
honor the love you shared with your animal instead of suffering with grief.
I will not choose the particular path for you. There is great value in the process for your pet, for you and for your family. If you can let go and trust the end of life process, it can be a beautiful tribute to the love you share with your pet.
My role is to stand by you while you process what’s happening, give you information you may not have, and, help you let go as easily as you can.
The grief will always be with you in some form or other, but I promise you that if you process it well, you can heal.
And if, at any time, you just want to sit in the middle of the room and sob, just let me know. I'll sob with you. I'll tell you all about the ones I have loved & let go. Even after all this time, I can still cry about each and every one of them.
BUT, now I smile through the tears because I know that between "Hello" and "Goodbye", there was a hell of a lot of love.
Looking at Grief With a Different Twist
Death is a subject that invokes deep contemplation and varied beliefs across cultures and religions. When it comes to animals, the question of what happens to their souls after death often elicits curiosity and reflection. While the concept of a soul itself is intertwined with spiritual and philosophical interpretations, exploring this topic can offer insight into our understanding of life and existence.
I believe that animals are sentient beings with souls. These souls are often seen as having their own journey and purpose, just as humans do. I also believe that animals possess souls that may undergo reincarnation or continue their existence in a spiritual realm after death. This perspective views animals as spiritual entities deserving of respect and consideration in both life and death.
The belief that animals have souls may provide comfort, especially in coping with the loss of a beloved pet. Others may find solace in the belief that animals continue to exist in some form beyond death, maintaining a connection with them through memory and spiritual reflection.
As we navigate the mystery of life and death, acknowledging the possibility of an animal's soul offers a perspective that enriches our understanding of existence itself. It prompts us to cherish the lives of animals and to honor their presence in our world, both in life and beyond.
These beliefs move us beyond wallowing in our grief to a place and eternal love for our animals and allows us to honor and miss them in a way that is comforting to us without the debilitating effects of prolonged grief.
