For me, animals are all about self-care.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 \u00a0Since learning animal communication in the 1990s, animals of all shapes and sizes, both as pets or as creatures living in the wild, have taught me they choose to be a part of our lives.<\/p>\n

Whether a dog, cat, or squirrel in a tree, they present themselves to us in ways that attract our attention.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 They are here to care for us.\u00a0 When I experience periods of difficulty and challenge, they see themselves as a caregiver during that time.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Pets in your life hear, see, and understand everything that happens.\u00a0 Cats, in particular, are tuned into conversations and daily activities.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 \u00a0Animals are not colorblind.\u00a0 They see things in color.\u00a0 They do see things in a different way from how we as humans see them.\u00a0 That’s to be expected.\u00a0 After all, their eyes are located in different parts of their faces.\u00a0 Their eyes are different sizes depending on the animal.<\/p>\n

That means they see more things in more ways than humans.\u00a0 Several animals have discussed auras with me.\u00a0 One, a llama, used aura recognition daily.\u00a0 If he didn’t like a person’s aura, he didn’t like the person.\u00a0 End of subject.<\/p>\n

For some, the colors have meanings.\u00a0 It all depends on the animal.\u00a0 These colors\u00a0 may have spiritual value.\u00a0 Or, they may be perceived as protection.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 \u00a0Your pets also see orbs and other things invisible to our human eyes.\u00a0 They see spirits in and around the house.\u00a0 Some dogs bark at them.\u00a0 Others do not.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 When you bring home a new puppy, he quickly decides what he needs to do to be a successful member of the household.\u00a0 One breed, a bichon, seems to do this a little better than other breeds.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Horses are very wise and beautiful creatures.\u00a0 Our communication experiences\u00a0 revealed intelligent, spiritual, creative beings who are conscious of the current conditions of the health of our planet.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Dogs can be very aware of the human’s situation.\u00a0 I’ve met several poodles who were in a traumatic household situation.\u00a0 As the human became more stressed, the dog became more grounded.\u00a0 This grounding was important to the successful outcome of a situation.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 I like to attune the animals when I am attuning a person at a Reiki class.\u00a0 This is especially helpful if there is an ill person in the household.<\/p>\n

When I do an attunement, I give an attunement to each pet in the household.\u00a0 I do not charge extra for this.\u00a0 I simply offer the attunement to encourage the healing process.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Animals are not afraid of death.\u00a0 When I discuss death with animals, I learn that they remember past lives.\u00a0 They remember why they are in embodiment at this time. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

11.\u00a0 \u00a0Animals, for whatever reason, prefer truth.\u00a0 They believe it.\u00a0 They share it.<\/p>\n

12.\u00a0 Animals know about forgiveness.\u00a0 They practice forgiveness.\u00a0 They live forgiveness.\u00a0 This knowledge and practice of forgiveness allows them to love their humans unconditionally.<\/p>\n

13.\u00a0 Goats are good communicators.\u00a0 My experience with them has been they like to tell the truth – no matter what that is.<\/p>\n

A goat named Tyler Too taught me to communicate.\u00a0 After a few conversations, he communicated with me honestly that animal communication would not be my primary career path.\u00a0 He told me that I was a healer.<\/p>\n

And, of course, Tyler turned out to be correct.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
