Pet Psychics
Let Your Animals Speak For Themselves
Owning a pet is one of the greatest blessings in life. I am an animal lover through and through, especially dogs. Currently my family owns five Pomeranians, a Pitbull, and a Shih Tzu. Yes, a total of seven well-cared for and much loved dogs, each with its own quirky personality and unique needs. There is not a day goes by that one of them does not do something wacky to make me laugh. Owning dogs truly is a joy!
Recently one of my aging Pomeranians, 15 years old to be exact, became blind. At first she was scared of everything and required a lot of extra care. I debated whether it might be time to make the hard decision to let her go and be at peace?
Being a psychic medium, I know from personal experience that leaving this plane of existence is not the end for humans, and neither is it for animals. And sometimes letting go of a beloved pet is the best thing for the animal, especially when keeping them here only prolongs their suffering. I could never allow a beloved dog to suffer. So, I went back and forth with this difficult decision for weeks, asking what would be best for her. Was I being selfish in keep her here? Was she suffering needlessly?
As you probably know, when one is very close to a situation and your emotions are raw, we get caught up in the situation that is immediately in front of us, and we struggle to see things objectively. In these situations it also does not help to have any psychic abilities! I was simply too close to the situation. I couldn’t see clearly what was best for my pet.
Pet Loss And Grief From A Psychic Perspective
Losing a pet can be one of the most devastating things we go through. Many people are caught off guard emotionally when their animals transition. And too often the people around us do not understand the strong bond that can be formed between a human and their animal. They might say insensitive things like, “It’s only an animal. Just get another one.” These attitudes are not useful or helpful when grieving any kind of a loss.
The connection with an animal companion can be very deep and profound. They have no pretense. We do not need to wonder what kind of a mood our pet companions are in, and how it will influence our connection to them. Our animal companions join us on this planet to teach us about pure and unconditional love. So, they always emanate this energy to us.
Rarely do our fellow humans express this level of unconditional love. Our animal friends are nearly always available to us when we need them. This is certainly not true of our fellow humans.
When we lose an animal companion, it is important for us to recognize the depth of their connection to us and understand that the pain of grief is real. I can remember my teacher asking, when we approached this topic of grief and loss, “Do you give yourself permission to go through the grief?”
It is also important to support ourselves in whatever way is necessary, when it comes to the loss of a beloved pet. Whether this means joining a support group, going to a therapist that specializes in grief and bereavement, and honoring wherever we are at in the process. There is a plethora of resources online related to pet loss and grief support.
Dolphin – The Magical Marine Mammal
At one time in the distant past all of us came from the sea. Our bodies are still about 70% percent water and we have a natural connection with it. Is it any wonder then that humans and dolphins, one of the most intelligent and intuitive animal species, have such an ancient and powerful connection?
In myths from around the world, there are stories of dolphins assisting, healing, and guiding humans at sea. With their kind eye, perpetually ‘smiling’ face and use of language, they are in many ways like us. Scientists observe that dolphins are among the few animal species who have their own ‘dialects’ depending on their location. Some evidence even suggests that dolphins may be telepathic!
Animal Rescue As A Spiritual Calling
A friend recently asked me if have considered the possibility that all the animal rescue work I have been doing in recent years might be the symptom of a deep desire to heal some wounded part of myself? She also said I may be suffering from what her therapist refers to as a ‘savior complex.’ And this might stem from fear of rejection, insecurities and any other negative experiences from my childhood. I did not get defensive, but said I would ponder her remark. Actually, I am pondering what she said as I type this blog.
As much as my husband and I love all animals, it was never our intention to get as involved as we have now with our bounty of ‘rescued animals.’ In hindsight, we ended up taking in some very sick, injured, starving, and abandoned fur babies, because the small local rescue centre was bursting at the seams. I guess we found ourselves unable to bury our heads in the sand.
Develop Your Animal Communication Skills
Many of us have relationships with our pets so close that we are convinced they understand everything we say. A holistic vet told me many years ago that he visualizes what he is going to do when he is treating an animal. He then asks permission psychically and also thanks the pet. I began to monitor this at future visits and noticed my dog would turn his paw for blood work. Or he would release a big sigh and relax into the vets vibration. Fascinating.
In the animal kingdom there is an incredible language of energetic connection within the same species. The subtlest body posture sends a message from one animal to the next. Perhaps it is stating, “I’m the alpha, what do you want?” Or perhaps it’s just saying, “Hey, you seem interesting, can we chat?”
All Is Well Where There Is Gratitude
I was sitting at camp this morning, thinking of all the things I had on my schedule for the day and the upcoming week. I had somehow overbooked myself, yet again. Not even four sips into my coffee… and I already felt some stress rise up in my chest.
At that moment I heard a little ‘purr-meow,’ as my cat Oscar looked at me quizzically. He always helps me to put life into perspective. We all need that honest friend who will tell us like it is, and get us refocused on what really matters. Oscar was sitting on his perch by the window. As he shifted his gaze to me, I could hear him say, “Why so stressed mama? We’re at camp and it’s a beautiful day out. All is well.”
Find Your Pet With The Golden Thread
I am a proud ‘pet mama’ of two cats, who could not be more different from one another. Francis is fearless. She’s an agile huntress who is always catching dragonflies and darting around the house. Merlin, on the other hand, is slow and lazy. He is more content to make friends with mice and munch on leaves. He is a cat who just loves to love.
When I awoke one morning to discover Merlin was missing, I was devastated. At first I couldn’t believe it. We had recently relocated over a long distance, so he was not at all familiar with our new area. He is an indoor cat who is afraid of grass and any kind of large moving objects, such as the boughs of trees moving in the wind. I was very concerned.
