Listening Beyond Words

Though we are indelibly connected with our animal companions, we interact with our world in different ways. Animals hear with their hearts, feel with their bodies, and interpret with their senses. They hone-in on the intention or feeling behind our words, and let instinct lead them. We humans, on the other hand, live by rules, beliefs, and expectations. We are adept at saying one thing while feeling another. We tend to ignore intuition and mask feelings. Can you see the foundations for a disconnect?

Meet your guides

In this process of pure communication, we often learn a lot about ourselves. As sensitive energetic beings, our animals pick up our negative beliefs, fears, and conditionings and often mirror them back to us. Animals act out our imbalances and stresses within the family unit. By deepening our understanding of their behaviour, they can become our teachers and guides. Through the filter of unconditional love, they teach us that what we are “doing” is nowhere near as important as who we are “being.”
