What Are “Soul Lessons?”

We all know that living with animals is amazing!!  It can also be confusing, exasperating and MADDENING!!!

Anybody who lives in an interspecies household fully understands the schizophrenic nature of “pet ownership.” On one hand, they stare at us with those soulful eyes — as if they KNOW everything about us and want to help us & remove all our sadness and pain. Then, they tear up the sofa, pee on the carpet, run away, and scare the neighbors.

Fortunately, animal communication is a meaningful tool for helping to restore healing & harmony to interspecies households.  It’s amazing how quickly the energy can shift when humans begin to understand what’s going on in their animal companions’ noggins.  Suddenly, the “AHA Moments” start flying as you realize some of the REAL reasons that lie at the core of all those zany, nonsensical and irritating behaviors.

And, just to warn you: it’s seldom as clear-cut or black & white as we humans usually expect it to be.

For instance, you might have assumed your fearful, skittish cat is just a bit of a headcase and must have been mistreated or terrorized in her youth. Instead, she may tell an animal communicator that, by nature, she’s a calm, loving soul who’s so dialed into you and your own anxieties that she’s taken it upon herself to MIRROR the nervousness that you feel when you’re around new people or in situations where other people are calling the shots.

Similarly, there might be friction in a household because a dog loves to chew shoes, and — HINT —  it might NOT be because shoe leather tastes great.

In situations like these, human are often surprised to learn of deeper motives for a “behavior problem.” For example, I’ve had shoe-eating dogs and constantly-meowing cats tell me that their behaviors are simply an attempt to drag their humans away from the computer or remind them of the fun there is to be had when they are outside or chilling together — breathing the fresh air, throwing frisbees, sharing petting-and-purring time —  and simply having more of that “in the moment” together time we humans tend to minimize when we get overly busy and preoccupied with our lives.

Soul level answers and insights  from our furry friends can be confusing initially, and are often surprising.  Usually, they’re enlightening as well – and frequently inspire changes in HUMAN behavior.
