Over the years, animals continued to teach me lessons and offer sage advice. Yet, some behaviors are bewildering. My cat Twig, started delivering Ziploc plastic bags around the house 10 years ago. Of course, I tried to figure it out. It seemed like a game, so I'd put the bags away, and she'd deliver them again the next day. Sometimes she'd drop the bag, look at me, scoff, and walk away. (If you know anything about cats, you know they can scoff.) I knew there was a message, and I wasn't getting it.
If someone sends you a message in Morse code, you might be able to receive it. But until you learn Morse code, you will not be able to decipher it. With Twig, I needed to connect on the same "channel" to truly understand her message. I needed to learn how to use my intuition for connecting with animals.
I love working with animals in this way. It is especially rewarding to share an animal's point of view with their human. People reach out to me when their animal is acting out or exhibiting unusual behavior. They are looking for answers. Animals are as unique and complex as humans, and I never know why they do these things until they choose to share it with me. I continue to learn every day by connecting with animals and taking in all the wisdom they are willing to share. And when they do, what a gift it is for their human!
Speaking of those humans, here's why I became an intuitive coach...
My desire to become a certified Soul Level Intuitive Coach® came about because of things I learned from doing the intuitive animal readings. During a reading, I make a brief connection with the human - to get the gist of their personality and relationship with the animal. It lets the person know they are an integral part of the reading. It's a shared experience.
During the reading, the animal shares the purpose of their behavior - whatever is going on that has brought them to the reading. It may not be a physical problem. In fact, it's often simply the animal's way of reminding their human about a life lesson they are already working on. Here's an example:
A client wanted me to find out why her dog kept interrupting her when she was trying to work at her desk. The animal showed me he did this when she was talking to herself in a negative way - both out loud and in her head. The client seemed surprised, while admitting she did indeed do that. The dog wanted her to notice when she said negative things about herself, and how it made her feel. He also wanted her to know he appreciated and loved her unconditionally. He was simply reminding her to work on her own life lesson of finding value in herself and knowing she was lovable.
Many readings are similar in that the purpose of the animal's behavior may be directly related to the animal's commitment to help their human with a life lesson. It seems like an "Ah-ha" moment for the client... but not really. They often laugh, admitting it is something they do want to work on, and are pleasantly surprised their animal wants to help.
After most readings, the animal is clearly relieved. The human now knows why the animal does those things and wants to help. The human is touched by the animal's love, and grateful the reading allowed them to communicate so clearly.
Yet sometimes, clients feel like there is no way to make things better. One client put it in words: "OK. Here I am with this wonderful dog who loves me, and is trying to help me. And I want to work on this stuff. I just don't know how to do that."
That is why I decided to become a Soul Level Intuitive Coach®. Working with my guides, I offer support for clients who are tired of listening to their own negative thoughts and beliefs. They feel stuck not knowing what to do about it. With Soul Level Intuitive Coaching®, you learn how to redirect your negative thoughts and energies in a positive direction.
Then maybe your dog can take a break from the cartwheels he's been doing to get you to notice he's there to help!
