My animals’ wishes to you during the holidays:

Makia says,

“My wish for you that you have a home you feel safe and loved in. My wish is also that no matter how discouraged you become with life that you believe that even you have angels that are watching over you. If you lift your chin up and believe, life will get better. I have seen it with many people. So just try a little to be happier.”

Serafina says,

“My wish for you is that your heart stays warm and that when you are lonely you have good friends to keep you company. My wish is that you can find enough energy and strength to have compassion for animals and to help the world’s animals out of their suffering.”

Bean (Bunny) says,

“My wish is that all the animals of the world including humans that have been abused learn to grow out of those bad memories and learn to feel strong in the love that is around them now. It doesn’t help to hold onto those memories. Let them go and trust.”

Stormy (Aussie dog) says,

“My wish for you is that you know who you are so that you can know what your greatness is, so that you can amplify that greatness to help others. My wish is that you have peaceful sleep and good food.”

Luca says,

“My wish is that everyone has the opportunity to play everyday and there is no reason to fear. I wish that you will never need protection because the people who are around you have thoughts that are pure.”

Maia (wolfdog in heaven) says,

“My wish for you is that you believe that any space can change energy because energy is always moving. If someone tells you there is darkness in a space, just believe there are angels that can clean that up. You don’t have to pray hard. You just have to pray a little, give thanks, and believe. Everything changes. Trust that greatness can flow anywhere. Be the greatness you want to flow into your space.”

Joey (cat in heaven) says,

“My wish for you is that you allow your consciousness to grow and your feel comfortable with its growth. My wish for you is that you surround yourself with people that have something to teach you. My wish for you is that you accept love into your life and open your eyes to it when it arrives. My wish for you is that all your dreams come true.”

I have a situation going on that is taking up a lot of my thought process. It whirls around my mind and creates an unsettling feeling in my body. I worry; I create scenarios in my head about what may happen and I try and plan the best course of action.

Because my mind has been preoccupied I have missed two important moments. The other day, when I arrived home from dinner, my animals acted differently than normal. The cats were staring at me and rubbing up against me and Luca, my one-year-old poodle, was a little anxious when I came into the house. I didn’t ask them what was wrong because they seemed healthy. I assumed their neediness was because I worked long hours that day.

In retrospect, I should have sat down and asked them how they were, because I found out later that they witnessed something that made them very nervous. I won’t go into the details; suffice it to say I should have known something was up.

The next night, I was feeding all the animals when I noticed that Stormy and Luca (my dogs) were lying in the entranceway by the back door, whereas they usually lie in the kitchen. Stormy was staring at me. I thought his intensity was because he was straining to see me so I let it be for about an hour. When my cat Serafina didn’t show up for dinner I went looking for her, and found her locked outside the back door. Stormy had been trying to let me know.

Sadly, my mind has been so cluttered that I have missed important communication from my animals. Even for the average person it is important to take notice of your pets’ body language and behavioral changes. Then investigate to see if your animals are trying to tell you something.

Feeling guilty that I didn’t listen, I ask my animals now, “What should I do to be more conscious of your communications when I am stressed?”

Stormy

Stormy, my Aussie, says, “When you feel stressed you should either write it out, meditate, or go for a run so it empties out of your mind and body. You know what you need to do about the situation, so do it and then you will feel better.”

Luca

Luca says, “You should know that when you are nervous I get nervous.”

Makia

Makia my cat says, “I think everyone should make a point of being calm with their animals as soon as they come home. You would for sure have known then.”

Serafina

Serafina my cat says, “I like it when you do animal check-ins and you make sure we are all okay, and you scan our bodies and ask us how we are. That way you always know. When you do that I feel safe.”

Bean

Bean, the bunny, says, “Mom, you get information from all over the place: from us, from energy in the environment, from angels or beings on the other side. If you don’t take time to meditate, all that information will just make you stressed. You tell everyone that everything happens for a reason, so have faith that there is a reason for this situation.”

Maia

Maia, wolf dog in heaven, says, “Sometimes dark energies may give you distractions from your projects so that you don’t bring light into the world. It is important to keep moving towards creating light no matter what. Do not allow your mind to get stuck worrying; move forward. When you are moving forward you are more alert and have more energy. You would have known instantly that something was wrong with the animals or that Serafina was outside.”

Joey

Joey, cat in heaven, says, “In your life so many worlds collide. It is important to have goals and to move towards fulfilling them. There are so many that are watching out for you and your animal family here in heaven. Breathe, and don’t allow any negative thoughts to bleed over the positive.”
