When going through a tough emotional state, the time you spend with your pet can make sense in a chaotic world. Research into the human-animal bond continues to reinforce the same basic truth: interacting with pets can reduce stress levels, alleviate feelings of loneliness, and help you cope with hard times. However, you have to treat the bond between you and your pet as something you actively nurture instead of something that just happens by chance. Here are a few techniques to help you make that bond stronger and more stable. Do Intentional Daily Check Ins Intentional daily check-ins are like brief, holy instants when you and your pet are fully present for each other. No phone calls, no television, no multi-tasking. Just eye contact, a little touch, and being present in the moment. The practice works because it triggers the release of oxytocin, reduces levels of stress hormones, and […]
Shelter Pet Healing: Which Healing Technique is Best? For a shelter pet, a foster pet, an abused animal that’s been rescued, healing presents extra challenges. Because not just any healing technique is the right one or will be helpful. The question becomes: “What is the best way to know which kind of healing techniques should be used for a rescued, abused, shelter or foster pet?” Consider the story of rescued shelter dog, Bojangles. For a shelter dog like Bojangles, life has become an endless cycle inside a kennel. Every day, he watches other dogs leave. They wag their tails, hop into cars, and drive off to new homes — to new lives. But not Bojangles. No one chooses him.And he doesn’t understand why. At first, he was hopeful. But over time, that hope has started to fade. Now, when people walk by, he quietly retreats to the corner […]
How to Choose the Right Healing Modality for Animals (and Why Communication Comes First) With so many healing techniques available today—for both animals and people—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when trying to decide what to use first. A common question I get is: “What’s the best way to choose the right healing modality for animals?” It’s a fantastic question. The truth is, there’s a big difference between simply choosing the method you know or like best, versus selecting the one that your animal actually needs and wants to feel better. From traditional veterinary care like medications and surgery, to holistic modalities like acupuncture, massage, homeopathy, and supplements, to energy-based methods such as Reiki, BodyTalk, EFT, Ho’oponopono, and chakra healing—there’s a wide spectrum of options. And here’s the thing: Animal communication itself can be incredibly healing when done properly. Just talking with your animal, letting them express their pain, experiences, or […]
Communicating With Animals in Spirit, How Far Back Can You Go? One of my favorite kinds of students are the ones who ask thoughtful questions — the kind that open new doors of understanding and growth. Because if you don’t ask, how will you learn or improve your abilities? And just as important: Who are you asking? Asking someone with 30 years of experience in the field will get you much further than asking someone at the local diner who’s just sharing opinions. If you’re heading in the wrong direction, going faster won’t help. So let’s talk about a really great question a student named Margaret asked: “Is there a timeline for how far back you can go to communicate with animals in spirit?” Before I answer… Do you have a question too? If you’re a member of our Animal Talk Coaching & Mastery Club (Gold, Advanced, or […]
Open your heart and amazing communication with animals will follow!
