I thought that it would be fun to share my daily animal spirit guide cards with you.

I use 2 decks when I work with animal spirit guides, there are many, many different and wonderful decks out there, but the ones that are near and dear to my heart are the Power Animal Oracle Cards by Steven Farmer or Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams & David Carson. The cards help me to focus and receive guidance for what I need to know for the day.

Today’s Power Animal Oracle Card….Horse

What does this card mean to me? Letting your inner being, your inner spirit run wild and free. Embrace and KNOW our own power as creators of or own lives, and to honor it. Run free, do things that make your heart sing! That make your pulse pound with the unknowing and the unpredictability that life brings your way.

So….What does Horse mean to you?

You can also see this an other interesting posts on my NEW Fan Page

on Facebook! Coryelle Kramer ~ Animal Communicator

I love working with and helping others to learn how to work with Animal Spirit Guides. So, I thought that it would be fun to share some of the ways that I do that, as well as to share my cards with you.

I use 2 decks when I work with animal spirit guides, there are many, many different and wonderful decks out there, but the ones that are near and dear to my heart are the Power Animal Oracle Cards by Steven Farmer or Medicine Cardsby Jamie Sams & David Carson. The cards help me to focus and receive guidance for what I need to know for the day.

I will be doing DAILY postings on my NEW Facebook Fan Page,  and then doing WEEKLY postings HERE of the cards that I choose, and then sharing them with you.

So going to BOTH of my sites will help you get more familiar with working with and learning about these fantastic decks. You can also post here what YOU think the animal cards mean to you. The more people bringing in their perceptions, the more meanings we can discover and see how one animals can mean so many different things.

Let’s get started!

This Week’s Medicine Card….Badger

What does this card mean to me? Badgers are known to be aggressive. I feel that this card means going after what you want with abandon, but don’t lose your head in the aggressiveness of what you are doing.  If you do,  you will not see what is right in front of you.
Or I feel it could also mean that you need to find a softer approach to what is desired, that backing off and allowing things to happen is just as powerful as going after it.

So…What does Badger mean to YOU?

Next week I will pick from Dr. Steven Farmer’s amazing Power Animal Oracle Card Deck

Finding who your Animal Spirit Guides are and what their messages mean is NOT always THIS easy!

I recently taught a 4-week workshop entitled “Discovering Your Animal Spirit Guides, A Journey Within”
For me it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The energy from the students, the questions, the discoveries that we shared over the 4 weeks became better and better as the workshop progressed.
To see you (my students) becoming more and more comfortable and opened to your guides was a gift that I will never forget.

Many of my students told me that you were sad that the workshop had to end, because you had looked forward to the camaraderie and sharing of each other experiences and encounters. They had been sharing with me your encounters and dreams and I think that it is time that they were shared like we did in the workshop.

I THOUGHT that this post should be only for my students in the class, but then I had an idea… Why not put up a post where everyone can come and write about encounters, dreams, and perceived messages from their Animal Spirit Guides. After all the saying is “The More the Merrier!” This post will be for the students of my Spirit Guide Workshop and for YOU, the public,  to come and share all of  your wonderful dreams, experiences and encounters with Animal Spirit Guides.

A Bouncing Off Place… This is also a place to bounce ideas and thoughts about what a message, encounter, or dream might mean for someone else who has left it here to be thought upon.  It can also be a place where you the public can leave your encounter and my students can come and give you their insights into what they think your animal spirit guide encounter might mean.

It is such an amazing feeling to find a group of people and be able to talk, and share about this marvelous world and the extraordinary Animal Guides that teach us all so much,  if we just open ourselves to it.

So to the public and to my students I hope that this is something that you will enjoy doing and using,

now … let’s get to sharing

Whether traveling with or without your pets this Holiday season… here are 3 tips to make it easier & enjoyable for your Pet and for you

Tip #1: Let your pet(s) know where you and they are going…
Nobody likes to be left out of the loop, and this goes for your animal friends as well.
The holidays can be confusing for us all but especially for our animal companions.
Taking a few moments everyday before your trip to connect with your pet(s) can make the trip together or the time part easier for everyone involved.

A quick way to do this is to sit down quietly and comfortably for a few moments concentrating on your breathing, feeling yourself becoming more open and relaxed with every breath.
When you are ready calm and open, talk to your animal friend, let them know about the upcoming trip they and you will be taking.
If your pet is going with you or staying at home take this first time connecting with them to lay out the plans step by step with them.
For example: When will they be traveling, and how?
If they are staying home who is going to be taking care of them?
How long will they be gone from home?
If you are leaving them how long will you be gone from home?
Animals do not have a sense of time that we do, BUT they do have a sense of day and night.
So if you are leaving for 4 days and nights, show them in your mind’s eye 4 sunrises and sunsets.
This is what I have used both with my own animals and my clients animal’s over the years and it has had remarkable results.
Lay out as best you can step by step what they can expecting during this time together or apart.

After the initial contact and explanation, then just do is daily reminders, telling your pet “Hey Spike we are leaving in 3 days!” then the next day telling them 2 days and so on till the day you are leaving. Remember to keep the conversation about the trip light and breezy letting them know that this is something they can absolutely do, with out without you there, and that it is really no big deal. This will help you and your pet to see this situation as being less stressful and more fun for all.

Tip #2: If leaving your pet(s) at home? “Give ‘em a job!”…
What I do with my cat Sammy is, while I am away we assign him an “Important job” to take care of while I am gone.
This can be anything from guarding the home and land from strangers, to keeping an eye on the House sitter,
to keeping the peace and positive energies in the house aligned and happy
Just make sure that whatever job you give them it is something that you find important as well.
If YOU believe in their job and send out the vibrations that they are doing an important job, they we will receive and believe that as well.

Tip #3: Use Bach Flower Essences to help your pet…
I LOVE working with the Bach Flower essences, and over the years I have seen them do remarkable things for pets. They can be found online or in many Health Food Stores.
A wonderful all around great Bach Flower that may help your animal friend to have a better trip or to help them feel less stressed about your leaving is
Rescue Remedy.
This is is actually a powerful combination of 5 Bach Flowers that help many animals (and yes people) overcome stressful and fearful situations.
To read more about this Bach Flower essence go to my blog post on it “Spotlight on Rescue Remedy”

Begin putting the essence in your pet(s) water bowl a few days before traveling.
I would suggest at least 2 times daily. Making sure that you change the water for fresh every time and reapplying the essence. The amount of drops in their water depends on how big your pet(s) are.
So for small dogs and for cats 2-3 drops will be enough, for bigger dogs 4-6 drops, and for such animals as horses 8-10 drops in their water or their favorite treat will do just fine.

These are just a few tips that I have found, to really help make any trip I take with or without my pets
much more happier, positive, & fun of all.

Happy Holidays!

I had been sitting this morning on a beach on Cape Cod facing the Atlantic doing my usual morning mediation, when I suddenly felt a strong presence all around me. When I opened my eyes there in front of me, only 10 feet from the shore was a group of seals swimming past.

Seal friends group

Now, me being the Animal Communicator I am,
I am NOT about to let an opportunity like THIS slip by without opening up a line of communication!
So I asked them to stay and talk with me. Some stayed, and some went off to look at the curious people floating on the large sticks of colorful wood (we call them surfers!)

Seals and Surfers

The ones that went over to surfers, just had so much fun looking and checking them out. And yes even talking to the surfers. I felt their connection right away and was so happy to see that moment and capture it on my camera. One being looking at another with curiosity yet both respecting the others boundaries and space. This connect between people and animals transcends anything else. Not only do we learn from them, they learn from us as well.

Respecting the fact that all beings have something important to say, that it does not always means more because it is coming from an animal, just as it does not always mean more when it comes from a human the message. What is important is that the message(s) is coming. Simply being aware that information and wonderful things come from many different sources.

So back to my encounter. So as the men on the weird colorful boards were having their connection I had mine….

I asked the seals “Show me how I can be more playful, more lighter about things in my life, show me how I can enjoy my life more.” “You seals seem to live off happiness, joy, and fun and I would like to learn how to be more like that, how do I do that?”

This is what I heard….

“By just letting go, by not being afraid of results of your actions, what others might think or do. It is your life. You live your life the most when you are at your most happiest, at your most freest.”

Seal lying on her back

By having fun with your friends when you are with a group of friends that understand you and love you and you let go in that atmosphere that is a wonderful feeling. Let go of all the things that you think are so important. Let go of all the things that you think make you, you.

“When you truly let go and just BE, you will see how easy it is to connect to the real you, and in finding that real you then you will have joy and see things as we do.”

“Try to be open to new ideas, new experiences, take them in with an open mind and find out what you like and what you want to keep about this new experience, and then let it go and joyfully move on the next new experience or new encounter, why do you stay and keep looking at the new thing?”

“That is not a good idea because after a while the new thing becomes the old thing and the joy and fun is not in it as much anymore the longer you look at any old thing the less exciting and thrilling it becomes.”

“So let it go.”

Seal Joy

WE are always curios about the new experience, that is a good way to be…remain open and curious and about all the new experiences, curiosity brings excitement and joy into our lives, don’t be afraid of your curiosity. We stay teachable and open to new knowledge.”

Then the seal asked me…

“When you first saw us and you grabbed your object (my camera) and started to run down the beach at us you did so with curiosity with joy and without thinking about it, did that not feel nice to do that?”

I said, “yes, it really did, but then my head got in the way and I started thinking, maybe I am bothering them I should keep back and not chase them

Seal “yes, we were sorry to see you stop, we were having a good game of “catch me”

Me: “but I did not want you to think I was going after your babies, or disrespecting you”

Seal: “We see you heart.. we know what you are thinking like you know what we are thinking. That is your head talking, what does the heart say?”

Me: “That is was fun to run!”

Seal: “YES! And we loved sharing that experience with you. Don’t’ worry about what others may think we love to have fun we want that for you too! That is why we came to you today, there is a real feeling of wanting to have this joy but keeping it bottled up because you are not so sure what will happen if you let it out of the bottle. We want to let you know that the fun is in NOT know what will happen when you open that bottle, that is the thrill that brings so much meaning to our lives and to yours.”

Then I thanked the seals for talking with me and sharing with me and teaching me and for the new experience that I want not to share with you.

Then they asked ME a question…

seals at play

“We have always been curious what it is like to have legs and feet?”

So I tried to explain what it we like to do some things like driving and hopping and running. But then I realized it would be easier to open the connection and share the FEELINGS of doing those things. So I did, I shared with them the sensations of dancing and running and jumping and hopping and skipping and swimming with legs and feet. Then they shared with the sensations of swimming at high speeds in the water.  My heart started racing and I got the sensation of water rippling around me and just diving and jumping and doing so at such fast speeds it boggled my mind.

They thanked me for sharing my experiences and I thanked them.

Then we parted ways and I felt so blessed to be here in this wonderful place.

Atlantic Ocean Cape Cod

I love doing workshops! and the energy….Ooh! the energy!
The energy and the questions from the people that take my classes are always so fantastic.
Every workshop is totally different from the last

When I do a workshop I give all my students, free email support.
Why am I sharing this with you?…..well, I had an idea.

I recently held a Bach Flower “Healing Essences for a Happier Pet” Workshop and since then, have received quite a few emails. The emails are my students sharing with me their personal insights and discoveries in utilizing the essences for their own pets or with their friend’s and family’s pets.
I have also received several emails from clients relaying to me how the Bach Flower Essences that I prescribed for their pet(s) are working.

So, here is my idea, I am writing this post to be a sort of bulletin board.
A place where all these wonderful discoveries about the Bach Flower Essences can be shared.
A place where my students and my clients as well, can come and put their comments and share with each other and with you, their actual HANDS-ON experiences working with the essences.

Also, you (the people who have not taken one of my workshops….YET! )can see how powerful and wonderful these essences are. You will be able to read how the Bach Flowers can be used in many different situations and how they helped animals.

As I said, this post is also for my clients to leave your comments about the essences that I used to help treat their pets.

I believe that when you give something to another being with love, then that love will come back to you as well. I think that sharing information is a great way to do just that.

So to all my students and clients… let’s get to sharing!

many blessings

Over the years, I receive communications from many differernt types of animals. Having a house in beautiful Upstate NY also gives me the unique joy of being able to talk to wild animals as well.

But I also have a pond on my property and I was sitting feeding my fish this morning, there are a mix of comets (goldfish) and blue gill. But the ones’ near and dear to my heart are the 4 Japanese Koi fish that came into my life 6 years ago.

There were 5 Koi, but 3 years ago I lost one, her name was Starlight.
She was all white, beautiful, and had just a marvelous energy about her.
The other Koi are…

“Footsteps”:
(multi-colored with orange, black & white). Named so because she has black spots on her back that look like someone with tiny feet walked on her back.

“Strong Black Tail”:
Bright orange with an amazing black tipped tail
Black Tail loves to thrash his tail around and make giant waves with it.

“Mahtai”:
(pronounce Ma-Tie) (all white)
She named herself and told me what her name was when we first meet.
I have found out since then, that Mahtai means “Chief in Samoan. I did not know that until the day I looked it up on Google.
She used to be light yellow but then 3 years ago (right after Starlight transitioned) Mahtai made the decision to turn white.
She also made the decision at that time to go from being a he to a she.
my Koi friends are always keeping me guessing!

And then there is
Rah..
Gold like the sun and named after the Egyptian Sun God, Rah is an extraordinary being and I am honored to call all of them my friends.

So as I sat by my pond, getting ready to feed my friends, Rah of course was the first one that came over to me. I asked him “Do you have any wisdom to share with me today my friend?”
Rah said: “Beauty cannot be seen unless you are ready to see it.”
I asked: “Can’t that be said about anything?”
Rah replied: “Ah yes, but with Beauty it is the most important of all. Beings cannot live without Beauty in their lives” he continued “You have to expect to see it, all the time, be excited to see it. For you never will know what Beauty will look like and if you think it should always look the same you will miss it”
Then he paused and said “You have to expect it in your life but do not put conditions on
HOW it should appear, that will take the enjoyment out of it.”

Wise words from a wise being that I wanted to share with you.
Thank you Rah.

It was 1 year ago today that my mother transitioned in the most extraordinary way.
She passed away in giving love, spirituality, dramatics and A LOT of class!
To the people that knew her that was not too surprising.

What are surprising are the gifts that she gave us since she transitioned.
My career as a Communicator seems to have taken off since then. I feel as though when she left that she put a jet rocket pack on my back and pressed the start button! She was and still is my biggest fan.

She gave me such marvelous family and friends that I have in my life, that since she left, made the bond between us only grow stronger and stronger everyday with love, and laughs and a connection of the extraordinary event that we shared. The bond between he people who were in those rooms that night is stronger than anything I have ever felt before in my life. She gave me new friends through the transitioning people brought together for the orchestration of her passing into the non-physical or whom I meet through the jet pack she put on my back. These wonderful friends either only knew my mother for a few hours or not at all, but all said the same thing. “I feel like I knew her!”

The only thing she took, were any apprehensions that I had about “death”



Sammy and a Butterfly


She gave me Sammy,
the wonderful cat that I found for her only 8 months before she left this world,
In broken down doghouse of a house that no one lived in.
I CANNOT tell you what it meant to me to have this being in my life last year after she transitioned. I had no idea how helpful it was to have another being to come home to at the end of the day into an otherwise empty house. Only the knowing that I would be coming home and Sammy would be there to greet me, was a gift for me, especially in the early days and months, when I was still a little thrown that she was not in the physical anymore.

As I am writing this post and I don’t know why I am, or what the theme of this post should be, I see Sammy on the porch sitting and looking at the rain. He is patient and serene, he just IS. He lives his life the way mom mother did, appreciating it, playing with it, living on the joy of it and he shows me how to do that all day every day.

She transitioned 6 days after she was diagnosed, 6 days.
She passed at in her home that she loved in upstate NY with friends and family surrounding her. Many of who just “happen” to stop by that night not knowing (as we all did not) that it was THE night. She passed away in a cone of white light a flickering of lights and a flash of lightning. The signs, signals, and gifts of people, places and things keep showing up in all of our lives and we keep talking about it with each other.

I know that she is with us and I think I am writing this not only for me and Sammy but for the others that were touched that night for Sheila and Ellie and Carol, for Marge, and Mary Ann and Jessica and Sheree and Sierra, for Robert my brother in spirit, for Jessica and Cindy and Matt for Elsa (the hospice nurse that knew her for only 2 hours but loved her immediately), for Florence (our friend that saw the flash of lightning over the house on a clear summer night without a cloud in the sky at the time she passed), For Connie that I knew right away that mom hand a hand in our friendship, and Stephan my husband who she was the last person to speak to in the physical world.

Today I am celebrating a passing of an extraordinary woman with the extraordinary people and animals; she helped to put into my life.

I think I have the title to the post “Celebration of Blessings”, I think she would like that.

So I was on twitter, when the thought came to me to write to my followers about doing appreciation list.


Now, being someone that does not give advise unless I have done it myself, I then sat down and started to write my own list. Appreciations lists allow me to stop and think about the things that have manifested in my life, I find when I am done I feel excited, eager, and most importantly happy about what my life has in it. So when I write I don’t really try to think about it, I just sort of let the words flow out of me on to the page. It does not take long, doing this post took longer than writing out my list!

Then I thought, why not post my list? This is simply because not all appreciation lists are so private they can’t be shared and enjoyed by others. Maybe something on my list triggers something for you that you might not have thought of. So here is my unabridged appreciation list for today, some things might make sense to you and some might not, but that’s ok….

My home in Middleburgh,
the beaches of Cape Cod,
my husband’s support,
my husband’s love in his eyes,
my friends,
my cat friend Sammy,
my reconnecting to my animal communication abilities,
Teaching people new things,
peonies,
Reiki,
Bach flowers,
my ipod,
my car,
my aunt Sheila,
my mother and all she has given to me,
my father and his love,
my website,
my blog,
my ideas that I have, asking,
being,
loving,
the squirrels that try to get into the house (they REALLY show me what I don’t want),
the contrast that life brings!
abraham-hicks,
knowing that the beings on this planet ALL have their own creator force inside of them,
cappuccino in the morning,
German bread,
my beauty,
my career,
living in Germany,
living in the States,
my computer I LOVE my computer!


Now, I banged this out in 5 minutes, but then got the feeling like it was enough, my emotions were up and I felt great.

I am sure that if I think about it I could put a lot more on the list. But I don’t think that is the point, I think that thinking about it too much, makes me feel like am talking myself into something. So these lists don’t have to be a certain length, just keep writing til it feels like the right time to stop.
Just let the words and then appreciations flow out of you.

When I first started to use the Bach Flower essences, I was very much drawn to them. Something about their simplicity in power really talked to me. I then became a Bach Flower Therapist and I have been using the Bach Flowers with my animal clients as well as teaching classes about the essences for the last 8 years and I love them!




Other “Spotlight” Bach Flower posts…

So far, we’ve put the Spotlights on Larch, Honeysuckle, and on Rescue Remedy. In each I talked about how these essences help to bring about re-alignment, emotional re-balancing, and Well-Being to your animal friend(s).




In my free booklet… “25 Bach Flowers for a Happier Healthier Pet”

I wrote about 25 essences and some combinations that I have found extremely, useful and helpful in my work with animals.
It is easy enough to download. To download it, simply click on the link to go to the page on my site, “Bach Flower Book Download” Then, just fill out the form, and your will then receive an email with a link to download the book.





What are Bach Flowers?

They are a series of 38 essences made up of a variety of plants and trees.
Dr. Edward Bach called them the “Happy fellows of the plant world” and started working with them in 1931. He discovered that each of the 38 Essences from well known and common trees, flowers and even pure water from springs. Could alleviate and help to lift the negative blockages which he believed shows themselves in negative emotions, and behavior (he called then potentials) which come about from one living one’s daily life. This could included traumatic situations that might have happened in our pasts that, because the blockages may still be there are showing themselves today is negative emotions and behaviors. Essential the the way it works is like this Bach believed that “Like vibrations cures, like emotions”. Energy is in every single thing on the earth, and we are all energy vibrating a different levels and speeds. The essences are also vibrating at the same speed as the the blockages that are able to heal. When taken the essence opens up the blockage(s) so that the being is then able to hear their voice of their higher self (also called soul, Source, Universe God) bringing BACK the feeling of well-being and thus positive emotions with it.

Not sure where to buy the Remedies? Don’t worry, at the bottom of this post is a link to a website where I buy my essences form.

Please remember! Bach Flowers are wonderful tools however,
ALWAYS consult your Veterinarian in any cases of emergency even if you just suspect an emergency!

So, let’s continue to look at a the Bach Flowers Essences by putting

The Spotlight on Heather…

Heather is the remedy that Dr. Edward Bach called “The Identity” Flower”.
Bach discovered that this particular flower deals with the souls ability for
self-identification and empathy. Which means when a being is out of alignment and in need of Heather they are very focused on themselves and their needs. A good example is a “Me, Me Me” “pay attention to ME!” attitude.

The Chicory essence, the “Demanding Love” flower, is sometimes confused with the traits of heather. Chicory this is best used in cases where a pet is possessive in nature, or very territorial.

I often give this Bach Flower for either a short-term situations OR long term situations. An example of a short (or acute situation would be: shortly before a guest visits the house and you suspect your animal(s) are going to be somewhat over-bearing and needing attention. As opposed to the more chronic or long-term situation such as: an pet that is needing to be the CONSTANT center of attention all day, every day and this has been going on for some time.
Below are some examples, which might help you to decide if Heather is right for your animal friend(s).

What are some common Heather uses?

• When a pet is very possessive (in an almost unhealthy and clingy manner) to their human companion(s)

• When your pet is in need of being the CONSTANT center of attention, and will do anything to be so. That may include barking meowing, running around when guests are visiting, anything to bring the attentions back to them

• Self-centeredness seems to be a predominated trait in your pet’s personality.
(please note this could also be a trait of certain breedsof animals aka pedigree cats, in this case Heather would NOT work)

• Your animal friend seems never to be happy when you are of their sight, they are “stuck to you like glue”.

• A pet that has a history of being abandoned, either through the loss of their animal sires (parents) or by their previous human companions.

• An animal with a history of being left alone for long periods of time and thus does not presently like being alone.

• If your animal friend incessantly makes noise ex: barking, howling, yammering, or crying. (please note: this could be a sign of a even bigger physical problem! Consulting your veterinarian immediately is advised!

• The animal is quiet, but insists on having your attention constantly, ex: pushing your arm to be rubbed, pulling at your clothes, wanting to be near you no matter where or when.

• Your pet is not at all happy when left alone.

These are to name only a few.

Tip: Consulting your Animal Communicator to verify that these are the problems is also a very good idea!




How do I give Bach Flowers to my animal friend(s)?



Normally putting the drops in the animals water works very well, and if this is a multiple animal household don’t worry, the Bach Flowers will not do anything to the other animals, unless they need it.

For small animals (cats, dogs) I give 2-3 drops in their water and put new drops in whenever I change the water.

For bigger animals (Horses, Cows, Llamas, etc) anywhere from 8-12 drops on a slice of bread, or muffins have been know to work too!
Or take an apple, cut it either in halves or quarters, put small holes into each slice and then put the essences into each of the holes. That should do the trick!

If you do not notice even the SLIGHTEST of changes after a 24-72 hour period then it might mean your friend will need to try another Bach Flower.




Where do I find the Bach Flower essences?

As I promised…
Here is the information where you can find the “Original Bach Flower” Remedies for the lowest prices that I have found so far, it’s called the VitaminWarehouse.
.




Questions about the Bach Flowers?

Animals can often give messages to us through signs…
BUT…
The signs or messages are not ALWAYS as easy for us to read as THESE are!



OK I just wanted to have a little fun with this subject!

There are however many signs and messages being sent to us every single day, and we are at times not open to receiving them.

That’s because we may be too busy being human-doings to see a lot of the signs or messages that the Creator and the animals are sending our way.

So, learning to read and intuitively interpret what they are telling us can help to answer many questions that we may be sending forth to the Creator or Universe.

On a daily basis no matter where you are living, animals messages can be found. A person does not always have to be in nature to receive messages or to see signs from animals. If for instance, you are living in a City environment, don’t worry; the animals are sending messages to you there too! It just takes tuning in a little to become open so that the messages from your guides or animals around you can flow more easily to you. It is simply a matter of paying more attention, to what is happening around to see all the guidance and signs you are receiving.

When interpreting signs from animals it is something that is done through the heart. An opening of the heart is a must if you are wanting to begin to see the signs that are being sent. During the day I do a quick and easy exercise to open my heart and mind, this can be done as often as you feel the need to.
It helps me to clear any blockages that I think might be cutting of my connection to the animals or my higher self.

Quick & Easy Way To Open Your Heart Connection
First, I sit quietly in a chair
Next, I take 4 deep breaths. Now, 4 is a sacred number for me, it might help you to pick a number that is important for you, this will make the visualization more meaningful for you.
Hold each breath for 4 to 5 seconds (or for as long as it is comfortable for you) and then slowly release it, like I am blowing out a candle.
With each breath I release, I see myself blowing out any blockages or doubts that are in my mind or that I might be feeling.
If there is a specific place on my body (for example: my stomach is tied in knots or my shoulders are tense) then, when I blow out the breath, I take the breath IN from the place of tension and then blow out and as I am blowing out I focus on that area ad the release the breath and blow OUT through the place of tension.
So, as I am blowing out, the tension flows out of the body with the breath.

Now notice how good that feels!

This process slows down my heart, breathing and it calms me.
The blowing out the blockages, gives the feeling that I am actively doing something that is releasing my blocks.
After the 4th breathe, (r how ever many breaths it takes for you.
I then breathe normally and deeply.
Then, I bring my attention to my heart area, and I envision small doors in front of my heart,
Have fun with this part!
The doors can look however you want them to.
They can be French Doors, or Glass Doors, or they can be made from Silver or Gold, and as ornate as you would like.
Next, I envision these doors opening outward.
I take a few moments to feel how GOOD that feels, for me there is always a small release of tension at this point because I am totally opening myself to the Universe.
There is no “holding back”, it can be quite a freeing feeling.

Then, I say or think, something that tells my guides and the Universe that I am ready to receive their messages.
There is no “Set” sentence here, just go with whatever feel right to you.
For example:
“I am open to all your teachings and signs, I am opened to all guidance, because it is all for my greater good”

With your heart opened in this way, you will begin to see the signs and messages throughout the day. Once the heart is opened you will be amazed at the signs you begin to see almost immediately.
The signs and messages, can be something as simple as someone all of sudden talking to you about an animal. Hearing a song that is about an animal.
Taking a walk and finding something from and animal. Many of these are sign that are being left for you by the animals and the universe.
Once you begin to see the signs, you can start the process of interpreting.

Interpreting Your Signs and Messages
Ask the animal or your inner being what are your trying to tell me go with the first thing that resonates with you, this is using your intuition, which we all have and all use.

This is all done intuitively, the more you do it the easier it will become, and the feeling of being connected it unspeakable. Now because everyone’s experience’s and outlooks are different one sign can mean something to one person and another thing to another person. This is personal thing, ask what does this mean to YOU.

Be patient.
be opened.
remember to have fun with it.
and just be willing to see what the Universe is sending to you.

Guidance is just an open heart away.

I am a certified Bach Flower Therapist and I have been using the Bach Flowers with my animal clients for the last 8 years and I love them!

In my recent post Spotlight on Rescue Remedy, and Honeysuckle, I talked about what each of these Bach Flowers do and how they help your pet.

My free booklet… “25 Bach Flowers for a Happier Healthier Pet”:
I have written a booklet “25 Bach Flowers for a Happier Healthier Pet”
It is easy enough to download and it is extremely useful to have.
It’s filled with 25 essences and some combinations that I have found extremely.
To download it, simply click on the link to go to the page on my site, “Bach Flower Book Download“Then, fill out the form, and your will then receive an email with a link to download the book.

What are Bach Flowers?
They are a series of 38 essences made up of a variety of plants and trees.
Dr. Edward Bach called them the “Happy fellows of the plant world” and started working with them in 1931. He discovered that each of the 38 Essences from well known and common trees, flowers and even pure water from springs. Could alleviate and help to lift the negative blockages which he believed shows themselves in negative emotions, and behavior (he called then potentials) which come about from one living one’s daily life. This could included traumatic situations that might have happened in our pasts that, because the blockages may still be there are showing themselves today is negative emotions and behaviors. Essential the the way it works is like this Bach believed that “Like vibrations cures, like emotions”. Energy is in every single thing on the earth, and we are all energy vibrating a different levels and speeds. The essences are also vibrating at the same speed as the the blockages that are able to heal. When taken the essence opens up the blockage(s) so that the being is then able to hear their voice of their higher self (also called soul, Source, Universe God) bringing BACK the feeling of well-being and thus positive emotions with it.

Not sure where to buy the Remedies? Don’t worry, at the bottom of this post is a link to the place where I buy all my Remedies.

Please remember! Bach Flowers are a wonderful tools however,
ALWAYS consult your Veterinarian in any cases of emergency even if you just suspect an emergency!

So, let’s continue to look at a the Bach Flowers by putting


The Spotlight on Larch…

For me personally Larch is a Bach Flower that is near and dear to my heart.
This was the first Bach Flower I ever took. It is the one that gave me the confidence that I needed when I started my professional career. To say this Bach Flower opened the door so that I could find my bliss is putting it mildly.

Larch is the remedy that Dr. Edward Bach called “The Self-Confidence Flower”. He discovered that this particular flower deals with the souls ability for
self-confidence and self-esteem.

I often give this Bach Flower for either a short-term situation, such as: shortly before a show or competition. To a long-term situation such as: getting over rescue, adoption or shelter situations. Now self-confidence and self-esteem issues are not always easily recognizable in animals but below are some example, which might help you to decide if Larch is right for your animal friends.

What are some common Larch uses?

•Adopting and animal that has been in a shelter for either a long or short period of time. Even thought the shelter may have been wonderful, it is the uncertainty from day to day, of “Will this be the day I find my home?” That can be hard on the self-esteem.

•As a show or competition draws nearer, your animal friend seems slightly unsure of themselves

•After a show or competition, your animal friend “seems a little down”. This could be your animal friend just getting the vibes/thoughts from others, that they did not achieve what was wanted. What happens instead of the animal having the feeling “Well, better luck next time!” They begin to feel a little down on themselves. Holding the head down, looking ashamed, worried or concerned, holding the tail between legs, are all possible indications.

•In their new home situation the animal seems “unsure” of their new surroundings. Hiding under beds, in closets, keeping to the back of the stall, etc. These could be a signs they are lacking the confidence and assuredness that they will eventually become capable of getting used to their new home.

•Your animal friend has come from a rescue or abusive situation. In both cases, depending on the severity the animal’s self-confidence and self-esteem could be low.

•Training seems particularly difficult for your animal pal. They seem to get discouraged easily and not adapting to the new techniques easily. This Bach Flower Combined with Chestnut bud could help with that.

•Animals that are constantly being constantly dominated by the other animals in the household. Now, with animals yes, there is a “pecking order” or hierarchy. However an animal will sometimes become too dominated, to the point where it s as if their position in the hierarchy does not count. Even in a pack, a herd, a family, each individual’s ideas and thoughts come together and are acknowledged. But the animal that requires Larch does not seem to even try to bring their personality or ideas to the “table” because they feel “less than”.

•The animal does not seem to participate in “family activities”. They hold themselves apart and stay on the outskirts, when the other animals in the household are playing.

These are to name only a few.
Tip: Consulting your Animal Communicator to verify that these are the problems is also a good idea!




How do I give Bach Flowers to my animal friend(s)?



Normally putting the drops in the animals water works very well, and if this is a multiple animal household don’t worry, the Bach Flower will not do anything to the other animals, unless they need it.

For small animals (cats, dogs) I give 2-3 drops in their water and put new drops in whenever I change the water.

For bigger animals (Horses, Cows, Llamas, etc) anywhere from 5-8 drops on a slice of bread or a few apple slices should do the trick.

Remember to give the Bach Flowers to your animal only when they are showing signs of the negative behavior or emotions.

If you do not notice even the SLIGHTEST of changes after a 24-72 hour period then it might mean your friend will need to try another Bach Flower.

As I promised…

Here is the information where you can find the “Original Bach Flower” Remedies for the lowest prices that I have found so far, it’s called the VitaminWarehouse.

Janet Roper is a fellow Animal Communicator, and Musician.

We met on twitter a few months ago, and we decided to do a blog post exchange.

I picked this post because it gives such a interesting and unique perspective about communicating with animals.

Thank you Janet so much for letting me post this!

I hope you all enjoy it.



I love telling people I have the best job: I horse around and fiddle around! When I’m not working with animals and/or their people partners, I perform with my violin Lucy at elder care facilities in the new and growing field of Music Wellness.

Sometimes I combine my two passions and end up doing Music Wellness for animals.

Last summer I had an interesting experience at the barn where my horse Shiloh is boarded. One of the women has a racehorse off the track, and even though she’s worked with him a couple of years, he can still be a handful. She had turned him out in a paddock to enjoy the beautiful MN evening.

I happened to have my violin at the barn that evening. Shiloh was out grazing with his buddies, so I pulled up a chair, made myself comfortable, and started to play my violin.

The ex-racehorse was probably 50 yards away from me. As soon as he heard the music, he became agitated, pawing the ground and wildly throwing his head looking for that mysterious noise.

I noticed his reaction – it would have been hard to miss – and stopped playing. This puzzled him, and he stopped his wild contortions.

As soon as he calmed down, I began playing a different, calming song. This time he started to charge the fence.

I stopped, gave him a chance to calm down, and when he did, I started playing yet a different soothing song. He was becoming calmer in his movements and more relaxed in his demeanor.

We continued playing our game. While playing for him, I gradually moved closer and closer. He began to sway and ‘dance’ to the music. When the music stopped, he would look at me, saying, ‘Come on, I’m having a good time here. Keep making that sound!’ After approximately 40 minutes, our game was finished and I was standing close enough to him that he could touch my violin with his nose.

Thanks to the calming effects of music, the wild ex-racehorse was as docile as a baby lamb as he was led back to the barn that evening!

Harmony,

Janet Roper

I SO enjoy sending Reiki bubbles to people and animals.
This is something that I have done since I first became attuned to Reiki in 2003.
I just finished sending one and moment ago to a 6 month old kitten that is recovering from surgery today.
What a wonderful feeling it is to be able to do that.

A Reiki bubble is the gathering of energy channeled from Mother Earth and then through the Practitioner in a shape of a bubble. This bubble can be filled with many different things, love, healing energy, calming energy, or thoughts, good intentions, strength, laughter or joy, anything that feels right at the moment.
Now this might be different from Reiki Practitioner to Reiki Practitioner, it all depends on how each person was taught to do their Reiki bubble.

When someone wants a bubble sent to either a person or animal I try to always find out some things:

The name of the animal or person
Where they are (the exact address is helpful and the pet or person sometimes feel the effects faster)
If they are receptive to receiving the Reiki (if it is an animal this is where being a Animal Communicator comes in handy!)
What the trouble is that they are having (what they are recovering from or dealing with in their lives)

In order to do a Reiki Bubble, one has to be Reiki attuned.

Over the years, I have gotten some very interesting feedback on how Reiki bubble have effected people and pets.

•Some people and pets had to immediately lie down and then seem to sleep extremely heavily. (Now depending on HOW heavy some drooling may have occurred!).

•People and pets all of a suddenly having this wonderful energizing surge and feeling totally refreshed and revitalized.

•The feeling of tingling sensations all over the body.

•Feelings of tranquility and serenity washing over the pet or person, some clients will say their pets became almost Zen-like or extremely calm.

•Warm or Cold sensations throughout the body. Then the sensation becoming focused on the part of the body where the discomfort is.

That is to name a few, each being is different, and each reaction is different, but they are always a pleasant experience for all.

Then, there have been times where I have been blessed to be a part of an animal’s transitioning. The pets were able to gently, finish their transitions without fear or pain, in complete comfort.

Using all that I have studied, Bach Flowers, Reiki, TTOUCH, Animal Communication, these to me are gifts. I am blessed to be able that I am able to use them and, I very much appreciate them!

I was shuffling my medicine card deck the other day and a card flew out

For those who don’t know these are a set wonderful cards created by talented artist Jamie Sans and David Carson.

The card the flew out was Buffalo.
I stared at it for a moment a little startled, I have had this deck for about 7 years now, and I have yet to pull, pick or come across Buffalo.

As a sacred pipe carrier, and as a Native American, I know what powerful medicine Buffalo carries. As an adopted member of a PLAINS tribe I know what Buffalo means.

There is a wonderful story about White Buffalo Calf Woman that has been told many times.
But, I especially like John Fire Lame Deer rendition of the story.

So, for a few seconds I found myself staring at the card, then I became excited and I picked it up.

A tiny thread of electric went from the card and up my arm.
I KNEW that it was the right card for me, that it was the right time for me, and I opened my Medicine Card book and read what Buffalo represented and the book said: Prayer & Abundance.

Abundance, Now that was a word that I have been thinking about that word a lot lately
(there are no coincidences).
The Buffalo Medicine Card is about abundance. It says: “that abundance is present in your life when ALL relations are honored as sacred”.

I thought about that and found it tied in so wonderfully with the Abraham-Hicks recording that I had been listening to. Abraham had been talking about life being all about the contrast and why we have it in our lives.

Then I started to really think, yes all relations to the animals should ALWAYS be thought of as important and needed, but what about the relations between people.

The relations that we don’t deem as being so sacred and great. The neighbor next door that plays their stereo too loud, the woman in the store that walked into you and did not say sorry. The boss that never seems satisfied with the work. The father that did not love enough. The mother that might have drank too much, the dog that gave you such joy as a child, the cat that ALWAYS knew when you needed her. The horse that you used to go to and tell all your secrets to. ALL of these relations are sacred.

Sacred? even the “not so good stuff?” yeah I think so…..stay with me on this……

They are ALL sacred because they show us what we WANT and what we do NOT want from our lives and all of them, all of them helped us to grow as a person, to be the unique, marvelous person that we are today. For that reason alone they are sacred.

The abundance of contrast of life is something where we think if people would just do THAT, the world would be so much better, if they would not do THIS, the world would be so much better, but all of it gives us contrast so that we know what we DO want.

Besides, if everyone always did everything right how would we grow?

This is what I got from Buffalo.



I feel like I will be continuing to work with Buffalo a lot that she is now a power animal for me and that if I listen she will show me even more amazing insights.

Pida Miya Tatanka (Many Thanks Buffalo)
