 I was doing some painting over the wknd and my son Merlin was utterly fascinated with every aspect of it- each tiny dab of paint - each brushstroke -he inspected completely.
✨🐈 Obviously this wouldn’t work so well for a detailed painting - but I found that watching him literally walk on it -allowed me to see that he was infusing it with his own magical energy! So it became a co-creation. He had definite opinions and I’ll post in my story the video of him doing this. I laughed almost the entire time - he made it so much more fun. It’s such a compliment when our animal companions want to spend all this time with us and show so much interest in what we direct our energy and attention toward. 💟🖼🐈  Hi. How are you all feeling? I’m finding that I need to clear my energy more often - even though I feel fine-all of us who are sensitive/empaths- are unconsciously exposed to the general anxiety felt by the collective. I received a wonderful reiki session last week (thank you so much @jennbaileystreck) and I noticed such a significant shift in my energy.
It accentuated how necessary it is even for those of us who offer reiki (or other forms of healing energy) to receive it too. It also made me feel extra super grateful that this is something I’m able to regularly offer to animal companions. Since they are so sensitive to energies too and are taking on so much for their humans. And grateful that it’s equally powerful sent long distance as it is in person. Today I was sending reiki to a beautiful kitty in England who felt like a faerie and a lovely dog in NY who asked me to tell her stories while she received her reiki. I work exclusively with animals but I know some truly incredible energy healers who work with humans and I plan to update my website resource page in the next couple of weeks with links (only for practitioners I have personally worked with) in case any of you want to try it. For me it’s an important element of self care - especially now.  My daughter Gracie Belle - the picture of perfection and innocence personified here. You’d never guess that prior to this she was under the bed refusing to come out so that she and her brother could hang out in my studio while someone comes to the house to help us with cleaning. (They hate vacuum sounds so our best solution is to have them stay in studio with me and all the comforts / they have litter, food, water & soothing music/normally they are fine with that.)
✨✨✨ So back to when she was under the bed and I knew I had only 20 minutes to get ready and feeling a bit of stress. She had noticed me running around organizing and doing chores and decided that I wasn’t energetically calm enough. So - her solution- to create a situation that forced me to sit on the floor and connect with her and literally not move for a bit.... this can be a bit (or a lot) challenging for us as humans to be forced into a state of stillness when we need to be quickly accomplishing something. So what could I do? Really nothing. I tried treats - she just looked at me. 😹 My only option was to take deep breaths and accept that she is more aware of my energy than I am - and truly understands what I need. 💗I made myself stop. Be still for two minutes. I texted her dad & was like FYI the bedroom won’t get cleaned today. He replied with an amused “Meow”(He is like me - I could not be with someone who didn’t love animals/our feline kids as equals also #interspeciesparenthood ) I accepted that was just the way it would be and sat for a bit ... then she came out all smiling like a tiny angelic ascended master and allowed me to take her to the studio.✨✨✨ So that’s my story for today. I hear from a lot of clients that their animals do things that exasperate them - and most of the time truly there is a reason. Like dogs who won’t budge on walks and want their human to slow down or take a moment to look at spring leaves unfurling instead of hurriedly texting and speed walking. I get it- I have a busy schedule too- but also our animals see & feel energy on a much higher level than we do. So my advice is to pause, consider the situation and allow them to "help."❤  This is Perry-my sweet dog brother who lived with me and my parents when I was younger. I recently came across this photo I took of him.
I’ve been thinking about him with all the rain we are experiencing because I remember he did not like walking across puddles of water. We had to pick him up and carry him across puddles. He just stood there and waited patiently. I talk with so many dogs (and other animals) and love learning how incredibly unique and individual they all are in all the ways. Some dogs want to roll in mud and others refuse to get their paws wet.☔️Our “job” as their beloved human companions/family is to understand them and see it from their perspective. And to honor what they need even if it feels like an eccentricity or odd quirk. There are definitely stereotypes of what a dog “should” do / be. But that’s just human expectations. Once we leave behind these expectations we can better provide the environmental and emotional support they need- just as they so unconditionally do for us. And if they need it- we can carry them across puddles.💧✨  Tonight I just have a gentle message for all of you who always felt animals are equal but have been misunderstood by others who weren’t there yet.
You were just ahead of the collective thinking. Honor that part of you that felt it - send love to that younger you (whether it was many years ago or last week)- and reconnect with that intuition. It is what will help you have a deeper understanding of your animal companion and animals in general. Honor your heart. ❤️ My son with Bastet- jumped up there on his own and I could feel him purring next to her.✨  I was watching the oscars Sunday night -don’t normally watch whole thing live - but for some reason did- and I felt if Joaquin Phoenix won (for his performance as the Joker) he would speak up for the animals, as he often does. And he did. As soon as he said “animal rights” I felt tears in my eyes.
And as he eloquently continued - talking about speciesism in the same category with all the other inequalities we face- I was just overwhelmed with gratitude. To hear someone speak for the animals like this on this type of platform. And it was received with big applause! 👏 It just was so beautiful to grasp that we really are on this timeline -finally- the one which will allow for the species hierarchy to be dismantled. ❤️ (If you haven’t heard it- please google -it’s less than 4 minutes powerful and heartfelt) If you did see/hear it - would love to know your reactions ❤️ Link to hear speech: https://www.facebook.com/320045168076964/posts/2657450491003075/?vh=e  This is Juneau - one of my sons in spirit.
I wanted to mention for those of you who are wanting to communicate more with your spirit /star guides that our animal companions in spirit have been telling me in more & more sessions that they can & want to help with that. ✨ Because of the love and trust already in place with our beloved babies in spirit- it can make us feel more safe and comfortable to meet and get to know our guidance better. ✨ Juneau and his brother Jarvis (also in spirit) are my compass. If someone energetically is “approved” by them then I know it’s ok. ❤️ After animals cross, despite the pain of perceived separation, it can be the beginning of a new type of relationship- it can evolve into them guiding and supporting us from across the bridge.✨  Saturday Jan 25th marked the beginning of a new lunar year - the year of the rat.🐁
This is a photograph I took (about 10 years ago) of a dear friend’s daughter. She was receiving her favorite yogurt snack and you can see a bit of it on her chin. She was a hairless rat (in spirit now) and so very sweet - her energy was kind and gentle.✨ I exhibited this photograph in several art galleries around the country and I clearly remember receiving an unexpected heartfelt handwritten letter from buyers (in think in Louisiana) - who had made the effort to get my address from the curator (this was before everything was on social media.) They thanked me and said that seeing a rat shown like this in a loving situation with her human completely shifted their perspective regarding how they felt about rats in general. This was very touching for me and expanded my perspective regarding how many different ways there are to subvert the species hierarchy. Everyone can contribute with their own abilities /talents - whether it’s art, writing, hands on rescue, advocacy, and so forth. We all have unique talents and can use them to shine this awareness forth.🌟  Hi! This is me wearing a super cozy scarf during the intense energetics that we’ve been experiencing lately. I am not super knowledgeable about astrology but I have a lot of dear friends who are and I understand there has been a lot going on astrologically and galactically.
In my sessions this past week I heard from many of the animals I talked with that they are feeling all the same things those of us who are sensitive to energy are. I wanted to share this because just as we need some extra cozy gentle care when things feel big- please remember that our companions do too. Especially the starseed animals. They additionally are working hard to help us get balanced too- so it’s like double duty. If you notice them acting a bit stressed or unusual - please give them lots of extra love and soothing and energy healing if you practice that. 💫  I missed last week (like all of last week) due to a flu type thing and am finally back on my feet. My kids purred so much healing into me and patiently waited for my coughing to subside. They knew exactly what I needed.
The day I could not get out of bed they stayed in it with me till after 4 pm. No demands. Not even for treats- they knew I simply couldn’t that day. Then as I gradually got better - they demanded the things that would help me. Like sitting in sunshine. For hours. That’s when I played with this Snapchat filter while Merlin lounged on my lap. The lioness felt like an appropriate photo as we enter a new decade.(!)🌟 Even when there are times we can’t move, either literally because we are sick/depressed, or figuratively for any reason- there is a part of us that can connect with the wisdom of animals. With that innate knowing and power that rests in our hearts. The strength that allows us to reach for whatever is needed to hold and ground a new vision into our reality. For them. For us. For all. ✨ We can still remember and honor that part - even hibernating temporarily in a cave- we can gently gaze at the flickering fire and dream. Dream the vision into existence. I hold the vision of species equality. I hold the vision of honoring and acknowledging animals for the role they play in helping us to awaken. ❤️ For the example they show: Pure divine unconditional love. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I hold this vision with strength and love and gratitude for the millions who are already helping to ground it into this reality. ✨Happy 2020! Happy new year, happy new decade. ✨Happy dreaming visions awake!✨🥳❤️ |
