Healthy living for pets starts with good nutrition Today, more than ever, we are all trying to live healthier lives nutritionally, physically, and even fiscally. Many of us, however, still seem to forget our four legged, furry friends –Â our pets – in this quest for healthy living! Pets are a large part of most American’s lives. Some of us actually live for our pets! They are our best friends and, at times, our only friends. Many Americans claim their pets are actual members of the family. But, aside from the occasional injury or illness or the annual trip to the vet for booster vaccinations, how often do we think about our pet’s overall health? Interestingly, because our pets cannot feed or exercise themselves, it is probably easier to control their health than our own! Let’s start with the first major contributor to better health: proper diet. Most of us […]

Next month, I’ll talk about connecting the hot Horse. Here’s a review of the connecting aids: (1) Close both calves to generate power from behind. (2) Close your outside hand in a fist to capture, contain, and recycle that power back to the hind legs. (3) Squeeze and release (vibrate) the inside rein, like squeezing water out of a sponge, to keep your horse’s neck straight. Apply the three sets of aids for approximately three seconds. To an observer, it will appear that you’re giving the aids simultaneously, but in reality the legs slightly precede […]

Saving Bats: 2 Heartwarming Stories I love bats! Even being scared half to death by one when I was a young child didn’t deter me. One night I was fast asleep when I felt something swoop across my bed. Then I heard it’s cry, and it started flying and swooping more frantically as it realized it was trapped in my room and couldn’t get out. I held my breath as I lay flat and inched sideways until I fell out of bed. Then I quickly scrambled across the floor on my belly and managed somehow to get the door open.

Healing through connecting with all life – an animal communication lesson by Val Heart One day I happened to glance outside onto the shaded area of my patio deck. I noticed my grey tabby cat laying in a regal pose, front arms stretched out with her paws elegantly crossed in front of her. Her eyes were half shut, she seemed to be smiling a Mona Lisa smile, and even from inside the house I could see that she seemed to be vibrating. Fascinated I watched as her energy seemed to grow and grow until it connected with every living thing and object within at least 50 feet of where she was. The air around her seemed charged with life force and peace, humming with power. I asked her what she was doing, since it was obvious something remarkable was going on, and she said: “I’m blessing my space, being one […]
