Did I do the right thing?

Deciding to assist one of our beloved animals transition from their body seldom sits lightly. Even when we 'feel' it's right, later on our busy minds can start to question. Were they ready? Did I do the right thing? Was there something else I could have done to heal them? Have I failed them?

Shadow's loving person was was wondering if she had done the right thing, so booked a session. Shadow was so happy to share and had a few insights that we can all learn from.

'You didn't decide on your own'

Shadow wanted to be clear that he was part of the decision. Whether you call yourself an animal communicator or not, information is flowing between you and the world around you, especially with the animals you love. He invited his person to expanded their awareness so they could 'feel' him - their body knows his unique energetic resonance - a vibrational fingerprint if you will. He also shared how to achieve this expansion in a way that was uniquely accessible to them. From this state, the wonderings could quiet revealing pure love.

I got to feel the 'glow' of love between them. The energy around my heart felt warm and expansive, with this spreading through my whole body, topped off with a wide smile. He then shared the following invitation...

_______________________________________________

Along the river, where the water dances,
You will find me

Under the spreading trees,
I am there

Shimmerings on the dragon fly's wings,
Remind you of our time

We live, we live, we live.
Shadow
_______________________________________________

My heart goes out to you, if you are in this situation or remembering a dear one that has passed. Wrapping you in so much love.

I am profoundly grateful to the animals, alive and passed, that expanded my capacity to love. Even with the pain of good byes.

Suze

Where do you go, I was asked, when you need to unwind, or recharge?

Where do you go to reconnect with the world?

Ahh, I told them. I have a place. First, I make my way up a stony path. It starts at my house and winds its way through the manuka trees until I reach the top of the hill. The path changes then. It’s full of ferns and gums, and there are springs that run little rivers under my feet, causing the ground to splash up around me.

There’s a gate at the bottom, with a trough to one side. I push it open and walk in. And in there, along with my glorious paint horse, I find my little Irish pony Bear. He’s only one year old. He sees me. And every time, he comes, and he asks for his beautiful head to be held in my arms, and I take it.

I stroke his eyes and tell him how much I love him, how grateful I am for him.

Of every horse I’ve ever owned, Bear loves hugs. He loves hugs in a way that causes you to lose sight of what’s your body and what’s his.

Where you lose your face in his fur, and where his kind eyes like pools of melted chocolate make you feel like all is right with the world.

In that same paddock, I tell them, with my paint horse and my Irish pony, there is a big log. It’s so big that if you sit behind it, no one can see that you are there.

And I go to sit, and my little big Irish pony sits with me, and we put the world to rights.

And I’m reminded that when the world created kindness, they poured it into Bear. I feel his emanations going through me, bouncing off me.

Yesterday, I lost Bear.

For 24 hours, he was very ill. And in the same time, I held his head and I told him that I loved him and that I was proud of him.

I reminded him of our log. And I hoped that in even a tiny way, I could give him a glimmer of the comfort and love he had poured into me over his short but mighty life.

I tried to love him to life, even when I could see him slipping away.

I told him, Bear. I want to adventure through the mountains and rivers with you. I want for you to be here so I can love on you.

But it can be in this life or the next. And if you choose the next one, I will meet you there.

Bear chose the next one.

I want to say I lost a piece of my heart yesterday. That’s how it feels. But I think in reality, it grew bigger. That now my little place with Bear behind the log is not a place without, but a place within.

I won’t be the same for loving you. But I guess I’m not meant to be.

I do love you, my little Irish pony. I miss you so hard.

You were all things good in the world.

I’ll see you up the mountain.

I have had some gorgeous communications lately and continue to marvel at the power of attunement to make the world feel safer. Lala's neighbours were concerned that she was barking at things their dogs weren't in the least bit reactive to, so they asked for help. Both for their benefit, and for hers.

Lala was trained to be vigiant and reactive in her previous life as a security dog. Now she is a well loved family member, but the habits are proving hard to shake. When I connected with her she appeared small, surrounded by black, and a feeling of aloneness and fear washed over me. The next mind movie was of her whipping around as little sights and sounds caught her attention. In my mind's eye she began to approach on her belly and as she drew near she rolled onto her back - afraid and submissive.

Part of being an animal communicator is to embody love in the face of a range of feelings and environments. Kinda like a human radiator of love. Our energies extend well beyond our physical bodies both in face to face and remote communication - like a personal energetic bow-wave and vapour trail. Lala was asking if she was safe, and my energy and stillness invited her to explore how she would feel if she trusted she was. She was brave and in a short time the image she presented of herself grew and her posture took on a new confidence.

I knew trust had been established because she then offered an explanation of why she engaged in the world the way she did. Beautiful, sensitive Lala flashed up an image of an angry face yelling at her at close quarters.

She wanted me to pass onto the kind neighbour who was concerned about her, that she was so tired from being on high alert and that the 'real' her was playful, inquisitive and loved affectionate touch. Surrounding her in healing energy elicted an image of a coat of armour lifting off her - she doesn't need that any more. She felt lighter in spirit and relaxed.

I never know how changes in a communication session will translate to the everyday world - 'can't attach to the outcome' as they say, just show up and do the best you can. That is why it is so delicious to get feedback...

Hi Suze
Thanks so much for communicating with Lala it's been amazing, she's stopped the frenzy barking, seems only to be barking at normal dog things which is so awesome I can't believe it nor can Pete it's brilliant.
She must be feeling so much better and happier.
Thanks so much x

The gem of wisdom Pixie would like us to ponder is ... animals know their bodies from the inside out.

I love Pixie, from the moment I saw her photo I went a bit gooey and my heart energy gushed. I am so pleased when her person emails to check in - bit of a teenage crush being in her energy te he he. This time around her person wanted some guidance on where it hurts, They had made amazing progress on freeing up her mind and body but there was a place of holding that was proving persistent.

Pixie didn't muck around in sharing where to focus - she flashed up an image and zoomed into the spot where many layer of fascia and muscle meet (see insert image above). She then showed how is pulls when she move and restricts on both the side to side and front to back planes. On a later check in she invited her person to watch the way she breathes to better understand how expansion is restricted in the abdominal area.

Makes treatment so much easier when they can tell us so accurately where to focus. Not all animals share with such pin point accuracy, but it's gold when they do.

I hope your animal family is well and you are able to 'hear' what they need for their well-being. If you would like to polish your listening skills then my online course could be for you. Learn at your own pace - gobbling up all the videos in a few days or grazing leisurely - you have lifetime access so no rush and you can re-listen as often as you wish. We will also have a one on one to dance with any mental blocks getting in the way. Head to my website for more info.

I am typing to the dulcet tones of Marby's gentle snores - do you have an animal 'shadow' that likes to be with you wherever, whenever? Marby is ever hopeful that I will head outside. I don't think the rabbit and bird populations are as hopeful - she tells them to stay away from the house area with quick dashes in their vicinity and the occasional, somewhat indignant, bark. So far no animals were harmed in the making of her scatterations, and bemused fantails often hover just out of reach to Marby's frustration.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Cobber recently. His early life didn't feature a cover and meals on wheels - he was mustered from the Kaimanawa Ranges in 2018. His first couple of years saw him roaming the central north island of NZ in a wild herd that started to form in 1876.

It probably comes as no surprise that Cobber senses the world differently from a domesticated horse. He communicated his vast environmental awareness by sharing a visual field stretching to the mountains and an feeling of expansiveness in my body - stretching my senses over a large geographical area.

When I asked Cobber his favourite thing, he immediately showed an image of his nose tilted up to 'read' the air which appeared full of different coloured and textured strands. To his nostrils the air was rich and nuanced. His person pointed out that this is the same posture as the Kaimanawa Heritage Horse logo.

Images of hills and herd mates flowed with the words 'my world is a horse world'. A mind movie showed how he smells the ground to decide what he wants to eat - plants and minerals. Cobber visual of the earth showed it vibrating and he listened with his feet and body.

Thanks Cobber for inviting us into your world. At times we can be oblivious to our environment, but our horses never are, and mustered horses that lived in a 'horse world' in their early life feel their wider environment intimately at all times.

Have a beautiful week of expanding your awareness.

Personal space bubbles vary in size and importance for our animal's, just like they do for us. When we are robust and well resourced we are not overwhelmed when our bubbles are buffeted or burst. When we are fearful, overwhelm feels like a close companion.

Tiberio recently arrived in his forever home. His bubble hadn't been respected in his early life, and after a long journey he landed in a safe, but utterly unfamiliar space - the beings, the environment, the routine... everything was different. While he adjusts, his bubble is extra important as a space for him to feel safe enough to learn about his new world. Just like us, our animal friends' learning is enhanced when they are not in survival mode.

He shared two images that showed how the world felt for him. The space from the outside-world edge of his bubble to his body, was one only he could bridge. The second image showed a hand reaching into his bubble, which caused his immediate withdrawal - physically and emotionally.

It may sound paradoxical, but I felt him to be joyful and playful, even though he is presenting as frightened. The fear is a transient state - his true nature was shining through. He shared a mind movie of him exuberantly pouncing on a toy and then proudly carrying it - he wanted Frid to embrace the power of play to help him recalibrate his nervous system.

He's a lucky boy to have found someone who is both experienced and open to learning from a wide range of sources. It takes a high level of emotional self-sovereignty to stay in a space of curiosity and acceptance when a reactive animal friend struggles to be affectionate, trusting and confident. It's tempting to make it about us - what are we doing wrong, maybe we are not the right person. etc. Sometimes they just don't have the capacity to be calm and sociable at that moment.

Every small unexpected movement or sound is tipping Tiberio into fight or flight - his feeling of safety is fragile at this early stage. Time, patience and being open to infinite possibility is the futile ground his courage and self-trust will blossom in. I wish them both all the best for the journey of a thousand moments, that they are on together.

This week, beautiful Polly shares about skin sensitivity and how her body changed after having a foal. Her person was concerned about girthyness and, not surprisingly, wondered about ulcers, injury and pain of some sort.

When we first connected I felt I was chatting with an alert, confident, matter of fact, expressive mare who was a delicious mix of being a bit staunch yet deeply loving - not that you would always know she loved deeply, as she wasn't demonstrative or overtly affectionate. Her person confirmed this described her well.

She got straight into answering the central question even before I consciously asked - she must have read the email! The image she shared was of her linea alba (midline of her stomach) being wider at some points than others. I witnessed healing in this area and the image was similar to shoe laces being drawn up, knitting the two sides together more securely. She had had a foal in the last 3 years and wanted to share that this was had affected her strength and sensitivity.

I was then shown an image of her girth and the feeling that it was cold and clammy on her warm skin. Polly wasn't keen on covers either, as they ruffed up her hair and she was aware of them pressing in places. She felt pressure, temperature and texture acutely. Lucky for Polly, her person was already considering replacing her girth with a wool lined one. I asked her about ulcers and got an immediate 'no'.

Skin is the biggest organ of both our bodies, and horse hairs are raised and lowered to regulate body temperature and 'listen' to subtle changes in their environment. Such exquisite sensitivity serves survival.

Wishing you a beautiful week with the ones you love, whatever the species.

I am lucky to speak to animals that are loved. For some, that wasn't always the case. Tania from Paws Restart, sent an image of a beautiful dog and said 'Hamish is such a damaged boy and incredibly stressed, I am not sure how to help him'. She has been rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming dogs for years and has stepped into so many heart breaking situations and known what to do, but she reached out for Hamish.
The mission of facebook.com/Pawsrestartrescue is:
To be the voice of dogs that have no hope. We need to pause, to stop the pain, to stop the abuse, to stop the neglect. We need to restart with hope, passion, patience and love. Rescue, rehabilitate and rehome.

Hamish shared immediately that his world felt chaotic - everything moving really quickly in all directions. I knew this was not his present moment reality - he was safe at a caring foster home. I asked if he could step out of the chaos and he flashed up a image of him pausing - looking calm and tired. We spent a short time together as I surrounded him in unconditional love.

Short communication sessions seem to work best for animals that struggle to feel safe. When we reconnected I asked if he could share anything to help his foster carers. He shared 'Don't look at me' and an image of him choosing how close he wanted to come. He also shared a mind movie of his head whipping round, expecting a threat to sneak up from behind him and being very small and far away - staying safe through distance.

This isn't a story of instant transformation. Hamish's story is about where to start and releasing all attachment to the outcome. Unconditional love may sound too simple to be effective, but it's at the heart of all I do. To be of most support to him, I have to let go of any need for Hamish to feel better and keep surrounding him in love regardless of what he shares or not. He gets to choose now. Before he didn't get to choose much at all and even a human gaze felt threatening. The mammal in him craves connection, yet his experience tells him to fear closeness.

As I am typing this, I am surrounding him in love and will do so every time I think of him. Pity doesn't help him and neither does disgust for how he has been treated. Love has the best chance of helping him find some peace and the curiosity to give human connection another go. When an animal shares flashes of them in a relaxed state, I feel they are inviting us to believe change is possible. He's surrounded in hope, passion, patience and love, so almost anything is possible.

The information Teazel shared falls predominately into the profound category. She took charge from the moment we connected and knew exactly what she wanted to share. Enjoy Teazel's wisdom at https://youtu.be/BiOjJETrNFg

This week I am embracing the joys of youtube and sharing a communication for Kathy, a fabulous woman, who I was immediately drawn to. She is based in Wales and has a beautiful healing practice - check her out

Having recently finished delivering the pilot for 'Consciously Connect with your animal family' it was bought home the varied types of information shared. It's kinda magic really that the imagery, words and feelings are uniquely meaningful for the person asking for the insights.

For those of you who have had a communication session, you will know this first hand - some insights are fascinating and surprising, some touching and some just plain funny.

Love to you and your animal family x

Gorgeous Chika's people reached out because she 'didn't seem her usual self'. They'd had a bodyworker and dentist in to support her and hoped a communication session would guide what to do next.

IT'S SELDOM ONE THING
We chatted a couple of times and her demeanor changed after being surrounded in unconditional love and having some healing witnessed. She didn't muck around, drawing attention to her poll area. I felt the urge to move my jaw to release the pressure - often animals use my body to 'demonstrate' what they are feeling. There are so many layers and structures meeting at the poll that affect the whole body.

After witnessing healing in this area, she warmly placed her forehead the length of my torso in thanks. But there was more to share - it's seldom one thing alone that causes a change in behaviour.

PHYSICAL & RELATIONAL
A compartmentalised approach, for example focusing on physical alone, isn't optimal. We often want a tidy explanation of the cause, be it an incident or incremental change over time, but since everything is energy and everything affects everything, we are best to widely cast our net of insight to solve imbalance. Interactions and environment can have a big influence on well being.

A questions I always ask is 'what do you want them to know'. This open invitation gets some diverse and fascinating insights. Just like our bodies, our animal's bodies want to work optimally. I believe no one heals another - our bodies heal themselves - sometimes with, sometimes without, the support of others. We can help create the conditions for their bodies to work their magic when we know what gets in the way of re-balancing.

In Chika's case, she had other areas in her body she wanted to put on her families radar. She also wanted them to know how different it felt to ride at home verses away from home. She enjoyed the relaxed riding at home - she said that felt 'light and fun', but she became aware that her young rider felt watched when she was out, and that concern for what others thought changed their relationship.

CENTERING THEIR EXPERIENCE
We are both social creatures, so changes in company and environment affect us. It can be more challenging to let go of other's perception of us, especially when we are young. Humans are full of opinions and our desire for significance can drive us toward less than compassionate behaviour.

Remembering that our animals didn't ask to be taken somewhere, we made that choice, can help us center our animal's experience. We invited them into the human world and because we love them, it's our responsibility to make their experiences in our world, as easily digestible as possible.

Chika's one of the lucky ones - her people love her and she will always have a home with them. She doesn't have to earn their care - it's given freely.

Wishing you a beautiful week loving the animals that are lucky enough to be cared for by you.

This lovely fulla who wanted his person to know there was no need to apologise for what's happened in the past.

NOW IS ALL THERE IS
We have all done things that we wish we hadn't, and it can be tempting to ruminate on them. At some level believing that will ensure we don't make another choice we might regret. Unfortunately the opposite is true. With our thought space filled with the past, we have less 'awareness real estate' for taking in the vast intelligence of the present moment.

This beautiful boy wanted to let his person know that it's not helpful to keep apologising for the past - it keeps it alive and is a hiding place from what's possible in the present - the only place where connection and communication is possible.

As we chatted a couple of times and he progressively let me into his world, I could feel his gentle, sensitive, intimate and playful nature. He enjoyed touch on certain areas of his body, and showed where it is was too intense that gave him the sensation of a static electricity like 'zing'.

START WITH THE BACK OF YOUR HAND & 'PUSH' THE AIR GAP
He showed an image of beginning to touch with the back of the hand, as there is less energy radiating from the back compared to the palm. Once 'landed' turn your hand over and continuing exploring touch which is a conversation all of it's own.

He also showed that 'pushing' on the air gap between them was a subtle and respectful way of inviting him to move. Such a beautiful, sensitive boy who wanted to share what feels good and helps him stay in the conversation. He also invited his person to 'walk it out' when they felt unsure - movement of the body, helped clarity of ideas and connectedness.

Wishing you moments of heart-filling togetherness with the animals you love.
