We all know that as a species humanity is capable of an enormous amount of love and compassion. We love our animal companions, and yet, often, when dealing with the needs of a species, people really don’t understand, and these same beloveds are sent off to the pound, given away or sold.
When we walk the path of scientific materialism we upset not only our animal companions, but our Great Mother. We’re seeing the result of this now all around our planet. We are a long way from the human species we are meant to be.
The humans of the golden age of indigenous prophecy are peaceful people, fully realised, with access to all psychic abilities. They don’t kill, they don’t yell or shout or hit or blame. They love unconditionally, create beauty wherever they are and understand and live that Divine connection with animals and nature. This is a life of harmony and beauty which we can barely conceive of. And yet, December 21, 2012, the due date for our birth as this new species, is rocketing toward us.
Little wonder the animals are pushing the envelope. We need to be shedding the stories of the past, and embodying the new human today.
You might have noticed the animals and the natural world behaving a little oddly lately. Perhaps there is an increased volatility at times, or more timidity. Perhaps your dog is snapping, your cat is urinating or your horse is pigrooting. It’s not ‘bad’ behaviour; it’s an urgent communication which means we really have to listen. It can also mean there is something wrong, or they are holding a mirror to how their person is behaving or handling the energetic shifts.
So before you reach for the mobile to call the vet, trainer or behaviourist, let’s take a further look at the animal companions in our lives, understand who they truly are and what secrets they need us to know so urgently now.
At these times there might be increased stress, increased fear and anger, or what has been dubbed the ascension symptoms – weight gain, heart palpitations, aches and pains in the body, stiffness in the joints, menopausal-like symptoms like forgetfulness, faintness, rushes of heat and flu-like symptoms without the flu.
This is what I call the 2012 phenomenon – a process of evolution humanity is going through right at this very moment. We are currently in the pressure cooker of a birth canal, struggling with our increased personal challenges, and either floating in the tide of faith, or drowning in fear.
When animals alert you to an energetic shift with sudden crabbiness, tension or an increased need for activity, it’s time for an immediate response. This is time to step away from the busyness of life and do ceremony at home, be extra mindful and spend more time listening to them and the language of nature.
As I understand it, we are being asked to change by the animal kingdom and we are being forced to change by the spiritual nature of the times we live in.
Our companion animals are the ones who do suffer when their human friends and carers are out of kilter. When we understand that thoughts and words are things, and that arguments can leave energetic imprints that everyone is affected by, it is clear how animals are affected by us. We talk a lot about love, but humanity as a species seems to enjoy a superficial love. It’s conditional, not unconditional.
Indigenous prophecy around the world talks of a golden era of peace. However we can’t have that peace while we still remain estranged from the natural world. So the animals, as the ‘voice’ of nature, are urging us to wake up to our natural telepathy and stop viewing them as pets to be owned, but rather as soul companions on the journey to the new earth.
The secrets they urgently want you to know are:
1.They are spiritual and psychic beings
2.They are teachers and healers
3 They reincarnate across species
4. They are the first tribes and the holders of much wisdom
5. They have a voice and a language you can understand
6. They have free will
7. They have intelligence and a connection to the Divine
8. They are angels without wings
9. They are helping you become enlightened
10. They are helping you become human angels.
Many animals are master teachers. These animals are usually the ones we have the most trouble with – because humans still seem to learn the most when faced with a crisis.
My horse Sollie was a master teacher for me. We began with a divine partnership where he would show me images about where he wanted to go on our rides together, and let me know when he wanted to increase his pace. We rode as one being.
And then we didn’t.
Suddenly he was ‘dangerous’. I was told to ‘move him on’. Instead, out of my love for him, I learnt new tools of natural horse handling, began a whole new journey in my life and career, and grew until I became a person of strong spirit, someone he could finally respect.
He knew I would need this strong spirit in my life and in my future, and he was right. Little did I know it at the time, but I was being pushed on my spiritual path, and being shaped from a ‘worry wort’ to a woman who stands gently in her power.
If I had replaced him I would have missed the most precious gift I could have ever received – a gift of love from a master teacher and a soul companion across time. When he died, Sollie ‘told’ me he was now holding me back. I didn’t understand that at the time, but looking back I can see he was right as usual. I needed new challenges and a freedom to travel, study and grow my medicine, which I never would have done had he been alive.
We think we own animals and they have to do as they are told. How can one own a soul? In the Quechuan language of Peru, there is no verb to have. They say: ”This beautiful gift of a dog is with me”.
This is the relationship the animals need us to have with them now. When they dig holes in the garden, chew the furniture or become escape artists, it’s time to ask what the communication really is.
Perhaps the house is full of entities. Perhaps the negative energies in the house are such that it hurts them physically to be there. Perhaps they need a walk to connect to the Great Mother and they know you do too.
Cats will often urinate inappropriately when there are rats, other visitors and spirits in the house. Or perhaps they have a urinary problem and are trying to make you understand they need help.
Horses are highly sensitive and see humans as light. They read your energy at a great distance and know your moods. If your mood is dark, don’t bother trying to be with them. Dogs are deeply affected by emotional states, by the energies left in the house, by your own state of health.
We are all souls on a spiritual journey. It’s time now to view your animal companion with new eyes.
Living with reverence for and honouring my animal companions enriches my life beyond the mundane and truly into a world of magical beauty – and this is what they want and need from us right now. One of the most important messages coming through now is to have fun. They want people to go outside and dance, barefoot in nature. This is to not only communicate with the Great Mother, but to receive her healing energies. It raises your vibration, helps you shift frequency and assists you to move into becoming the human angel the animals and Great Spirit truly want you to be. So next time you take your beautiful gift of a dog for a walk, take off your shoes, and dance!
