The Higher Self
| It seems to be a common line of thought in the field of animal communication, both from the side of the client and from the side of the communicator, that animals are advanced spiritual beings, who can impart great wisdom from the higher plane. While it’s true that great wisdom can be ascertained from any higher connection, it has been my experience that the spiritual maturity of animals is as varied as that of human beings. While some animals have a lofty, sage-like feel to them when you reach for their soul essence, others are quite “earthy” and new. Some are extremely light and wise, others of a heavier, grounded energy that is on a more primal path.
It’s not necessarily so, however, that the earthy and new have less wisdom to share than the high sages. Growth comes at all stages, and it’s my opinion that we wouldn’t be reaching for them unless we have something to learn from them, in addition to being able to help them with the current steps in their journey. Very often, it’s the simplest lesson that is most poignant – and hardest to learn! One frequent “higher self question” I encounter is that of past and future lives. Many owners wish to know if they and their animal friend have been together before. Many also desire a future connection, to have a pet who has crossed over return to them in a new body. While, occasionally, I will reach for an animal who has the answers to these questions, more often the response is that the animal also feels a connection from the past but isn’t sure what that connection is. Animals who have passed often show me that they do desire to return, but really don’t know when or where. Most of the time the latter question is one that can only be answered as the situations change and the fates align … the state of being in spirit does not necessarily mean that we can see into the future. Some animal communicators are able to reach beyond such limitations. They will consult with angels, for example, or other high spiritual beings. Others seem to be able to tap into a sort of karmic record system and glean more information. Although I have done similar, it’s not something that comes naturally to me, and when it happens I’m pleasantly surprised that such connections have been made. |
Just as most professionals have their own style, regardless of what it is they do, so do animal communicators. There really is no one right, or wrong, way of talking to animals. While you will find that some communicators tend to focus on physical-reality situations, others are more inclined to reach for the spiritual.
Some communicators have a instinctive knack for touching base with an animal’s higher self very easily. They will bring you information on things like spiritual purpose and reincarnation, things which the animal mind inhabiting the physical form may be no more aware of than you or I would be of our own pasts and destinies. I, personally, tend to be more physically oriented when I talk to an animal. I receive things from the point of view of the animal who inhabits that body in its current form, exchanging telepathic and empathic information as it’s perceived in the here and now. This can be very useful in finding out physical symptoms of illness, for instance, or with training issues and other everyday life situations. While I have, many times, communicated with the soul-essence of animals, speaking of things spiritual and philosophical, it’s more of a “pull” for me to do so (though there are exceptions, depending on the animal I’m working with). I find that I have to go deeper inside, to reach for an inner sense of peace and focus. If you are studying animal communication, and wish to converse with your animals’ higher self, don’t be discouraged if it does not seem to come easily for you. Each of us has our own individual talents and style. You may simply have to find a more focus-intensive route–a method of raising your own vibration-essence to bring you to that plane of contact. Don’t be disappointed if, when you do make that connection, your friend’s spiritual essence feels young rather than that of the proverbial “old soul” you may have been expecting to reach. Every animal is different, special and unique. The young have great wisdom to impart as well … thus the marvelous adage, “out of the mouths of babes”. Old soul or new, rejoice with whatever connections you make. By honoring each being as he or she is, and rejoicing in every exchange, you open yourself up a more wonderful learning experience. |

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
