The Energy Connection Between Humans And Their Pets

Animals have an aura or energy field, just like we do. When they become our pets, their energy merges with ours. Pets are therefore connected to their human loved ones with an energy cord, in the same way we form energy attachments with the people in our life.

For this reason, we are also able to energetically communicate with our pets. Animal communicators and pet psychics also make use of this energy connection when they work with animals.

I am often asked how I connect with lost pets. What is my process? I like to start with knowing the species or breed, coloring, and especially the name of the pet, because I tend to pick up on multiple animals when doing a reading. People tend to own and love many pets throughout their life, so I need to narrow down which energy they need me to focus on.

There is usually a spirit guide who acts as a ‘mediator’ from the other side to helps me interpret the psychic information I see, but I also get telepathic information directly from the animal.

If the animal passed a long time ago, I tend to find that it has already reincarnated. In many cases they have also rejoined the same human loved one. I find that animal souls tend to stay with the same humans, unless there is abuse or neglect. Our animals are members of our soul family.

My ‘Boo Kitty’ has come and gone many times. Not surprisingly, before I encountered Boo for the first time this lifetime, spirit showed me that my totem animal is the black panther. Not long after, I was reunited with Boo for the first time in this lifetime (she returns to me in every lifetime).

The animals on the Other Side often communicated that they felt no real separation from their loved ones on this side, and that they were still very much connected to their people here ~ Kim Sheridan

I was 18 years old and at a shelter looking for a kitten to adopt, when Boo stuck her little black paw out and snagged me as I walked by. It was a profound moment of soul recognition and I felt an instant connection with her. In fact, not so coincidently, the name the facility originally gave her (not the name I later chose for her) was my birthname! Another sign.

She stayed with me for 20 long years, until finally her little body could not go on and she passed from old age. But she later came back to me, after I had already selected two other kittens for adoption at the Humane Society. I had planned to only adopt the two, and had already placed them safely in a carrier. But, once again, a black kitten (a tomcat this time) reached out to me. I asked the staff to see him and he instantly climbed onto my back and would not let go! It was my Boo Kitty, back again!

Our animal’s energy stays connected to us after their passing. It is further my understanding that they although they are no longer in a physical body, they continue to exist in energy or spirit form. However, in my experience, they do not seem to know that they are ‘out of body.’ Clients sometimes tell me they can feel their cat or dog brushing against their leg, or hear purring or barking, or the ‘tip tap’ of paws walking by, after the passing of a beloved pet. I often have people ask if their pet knows how much they are loved and how much they are missed? The answer is always, yes.

Apart from pet mediumship, I also do animal communication readings with pets who are alive. One of the recurring issues I find during these pet psychic readings is that many animals these days feel their owners are very distracted and neglectful. This is mostly due to our addiction to modern technology, busy lives, and high levels of stress. Many pet owners are simply not giving their furry friends enough attention.

Your pet in energy form is cherished and respected for the work they did with you on Earth, which is extremely honorable. Since they are living in spirit, their role is to prepare and transition for their next role ~ Wendy Van de Poll

We often say human life is short, but in comparison animal lives are fleeting! Being present with our animals is therefore very important. I increasingly see people walking their dogs these days while they are staring at their phones. Someday they will regret it and wish they had shared more in their dog’s joy and excitement, and paid more attention to its cute walk and funny ways, instead of wasting time with superficial texts and staged video clips of other people’s pets.

I feel most people could communicate better with their pet if they just turn off the digital devices, sat with them, and stayed present. You’d be amazed what one can hear, sense and feel from your animals when there is complete silence.
