As you walk your Healing Journey and you delve into not just the physical contributors to your dis-ease, but also the emotional contributors, I want to call your attention to one more source of healing: The animal world.

As lowly humans, we often forget (or don’t even realize) the interconnectedness of all beings. This can be easily brought home to your heart and experienced by spending an hour or two walking in the forest

Or taking in the magnificence of the ocean

The interconnectedness of LIFE can also be experienced when you spend quiet time with animals – ideally in meditative, or a very peaceful state, breathing deeply and easily.

Today I enjoyed a beautiful spring day out in my pasture with my horse, Zorra and my dog, Tiah.

I sat cross-legged on the ground and began breathing in the fresh spring air and turned my face up to the beautiful sunshine. Tiah lay down behind me (snuggled against my butt) and Zorra came over and stood in front of me

As we breathed and sunk into the earth together, Zorra too went into meditative state and love flowed freely between us

It was a truly magical, healing, nurturing experience and I was reminded again of the message from my heart/ribs during my craniosacral session the day before: Choose Softness

Animals that love us are always available to share this space with us and to bring in the divine love and healing that is always there for us. We just need to slow down, be still, soften, and open to receive.
