I am so grateful to my animals for being energetic ‘meters’ for me at times……
My dog and my cats absolutely sense how am I feeling and any energetic issues, sometimes even before I have become aware of them. In animal communication, this is key because it gives us insight into the “space” from which our animals operate. They are so grounded that they are picking up, often times, on what is going on with their humans before the humans are realizing that perhaps we have gotten off track of where I should be energetically, emotionally and in our thinking. Although it is important for us to take responsibility and monitor our own selves, the animals are also there to help us with this. If we can move ourselves into a grounded, calm, centered space, then talking with our animals is much easier.
Moving into the ideal state for animal communication can be accomplished in a variety of ways. You can do this via meditation (probably the most effective and key to use in conjunction with all other methods of calming), prayer, yoga, music that is geared toward slowing our brains down and relaxing our nervous systems (check out http://blog.higher-music.com/blog/), massaging our animals, or other “certain somethings” that you just find to put you into that slow brain wave space.
I find that my animals are one of the best guides for me in regard to my own energy and when I need to do an energetic “adjustment”. With so many distractions and unsettled energies around us that can pull us out of that calm, centered state, it is important to check in with ourselves frequently to be effective as animal communicators. Not to mention the overall positive impact that remaining in this space as much as possible can do for our lives and for the lives of others.
