Soul Contracts With Our Pets

Animal Communicator

Many of us have suffered from the often heart-wrenching loss of an animal companion. Yet it might be helpful to realize that our animals, in my estimation as an animal communicator, do not view death, or shall I say the death of the body, in the same way some of us do.

As our souls make the decision to incarnate and come into a body, we choose many lessons, opportunities and experiences. Many souls agree to be involved in our process of growth and to play certain roles. Our animals are a part of our plan prior to incarnation and they, along with many others, have created soul contracts with us. Animals play a part in our growth and can serve as our teachers, mirrors and/or healers. I have learned that sometimes when an animal is acting out with a behavior we dislike they are actually attempting to teach us a much needed lesson. My beautiful cockatiel Hallie Ariel taught me loving patience in the most amazing way.

For some people there is the belief that death is the end of life or existence, and yet animals understand that this is not so. Let us say that a person has a missing animal and is questioning their whereabouts, or perhaps if they are even still alive. If I were to ask an animal if they were alive they would indeed say yes. That is because there is no ending to existence. The animal is in the cycle of life, which includes birth, death, the afterlife and the cycle repeats. They may not be in the physical body as we knew them, however they are quite alive and joyous in the afterlife.

Animal Communicators Know This

It is comforting to know that animals do not fear death. In fact they have an amazing capacity for understanding this cycle of life. That does not mean that it is always easy for them to leave us. Many animals will live a lengthy time with pain because they understand our love and want to be there with us.

People often struggle with guilt, especially around the decision to euthanize. They can question whether they waited too long or went too quickly. What I can share about this is that an animal never has a problem with our decision because they know we are coming from love. One of my favorite encounters was with a gentleman in a bank who asked me about my business. When I explained that I am an animal communicator his distress was apparent. He had been living with guilt for 4 years with his deceased cat. Before he could pull the picture up his cat was loudly speaking in my head to tell his dear pet parent that he had the best life ever and that he needed to stop feeling guilty. The cat explained that from his vantage point he saw so many animals suffering who had not had a loving relationship like theirs was. I am always amazed by the depth of an animal’s understanding and their deep love.

Animal Communicators Live Abundantly With Animals

I have learned so much since beginning my conversations with the animals. They can be our teachers, our healers and even our mirrors. They are always aware of our thoughts and feelings and even know what we can do to help ourselves. I am in awe of their capacity to love and forgive. Did you know that an annoying behavior by an animal is their attempt to help us change our behavior to one of being empowered? One of my amazing birds actually taught me loving patience. I eventually studied SRT (Spiritual Response Therapy) to help traumatized animals and people. It is a beautiful way to clear post trauma stress and other challenges.
