The Healing Power of Pets

I’ve certainly experienced the healing power of pets in my life. And I’ve watched how they can bring healing into others’ lives through their love, as well as through their own challenges.

When you work through tough challenges, do physical and spiritual gifts appear?

I have. I found a clear connection between my recovery from some addictions and my ability to connect intuitively with animals. Even though it came decades after my recovery. What a gift!

Upon reflection, I noticed that my intuitive abilities started to blossom after I moved on from those addictions. Which made it possible for my animal communication, medical intuition and energy healing abilities to become a part of my life. It’s a journey.

Pets Can Help Us Heal

Those of us who consider pets part of the family know about the healing power of pets. A few examples from my life:

• I felt remorse and shame about my less-than-stellar dog parenting while I was drinking. And so, my dog, Pee Wee, was one of the reasons I began to consider getting sober. And getting sober is definitely a healing action, especially for the body. You can read about that at Not the perfect animal guardian? Me neither! 
• My dogs Eddy and Mitsubishi’s love for me and their exuberance was an incredible support after the death of my first husband, Winston. They (and my kids of course) reminded me that the sweetness of life continues even in tragedy.
• I witnessed a softening in my second husband, Charlie when he became adopted and absolutely adored by my dog, Eddy. It’s fun seeing the softer side of this crusty Navy man.
• When my dogs Timmie and Eddy connected with me after their death, I felt more peace knowing relationships don’t end when bodies die.
• When my mind and emotions race, my cat Bunnie cuddles up to me until the upsetting thoughts and emotions magically disappear.  She’s amazing!
• When both my dogs passed in 2022, they came to me in a vision/dream to introduce me to my next dog, Newt. I may not brought him home without their guidance. Newt is such a wonderful companion and his presence helped me to recover for this loss.

And then there’s animal communication

I work with people who love their animals as much as (or sometimes more than – wink, wink) the people in their lives.

Many times during an animal communication session, something wonderful goes on behind the scenes. Peoples’ hearts open wider to encompass their animal’s particular needs, personalities and even their quirks. They discover a little more patience and understanding. New ideas for making the relationship work better pop into existence.

It happens on the animal’s side, too. Many of the animals understand better what their human is concerned about and how they can help the situation. Lots of times they adjust their behaviors.

And during the session, they create a stronger partnership. More joy shows up for everyone. And isn’t that our secret hope when we bring an animal into our lives?
