Sending Information

My father died at Thanksgiving. He was an unconditionally loving presence for my 59 years, and I am grieving. I’m also traveling from my small island of Martha’s Vineyard to my hometown of Marblehead multiple times a month, and I’m leaving my horse Spirit and my cat Bella behind.

Both my animals are rescues and extremely sensitive to change and to my moods, and it has been a blessing to be able to tell them what’s happening. They are weathering this storm remarkably well.

I woke up this morning wanting to share my Sending Information audio exercise from my Speaking Soul to Soul audio-course with all of you. It guides you through the steps to alert your animal to an upcoming veterinarian visit, your vacation, a move or any other information in seven minutes. It paves the way to a smoother, happier experience. Believe me when I say it’s an invaluable tool when your life shifts.

If you try it and have any questions, just reach out to me through my website or post on my Facebook group.

Blessings,

Laura

A Great Interview

Recently, a client interviewed me for her podcast Spill the Ginger Tea. It was a great time to share stories, share my passion for animal communication, and encourage listeners to believe in their own abilities. Tune in below on Apple Podcasts (or click the link here to see other options) to hear how I got started and how listening to our animals can help miracles happen. Enjoy!

Quieting the Mind

Hearing your animal speak to you is a whole lot more fun than hearing yourself!!! And yet the number one challenge for animal communication students is quieting the busy mind. 

As you know, we live in an endlessly complex world and our minds are trying to help us make sense of it. Our thoughts are not the enemy. That said, there is a time and place for everything, and animal communication is definitely not the time to be thinking! 

Some suggestions:

1.     Write down all your worries and thoughts right before you settle in to practice. Promise yourself that you will resume thinking about them as soon as you are done. 

2.     Up your curiosity. Remind yourself that your perspective is limited. Your animal can offer you new and important information. When you are curious, all your senses come to attention and you actually stop thinking. You are open to receiving.

3.     Tell yourself that you have thought about whatever you are thinking so much, you can’t possibly have any new thoughts on the subject. That tends to give pause ;)

4.     Ask yourself “Is there anything I’m afraid would happen if I let my mind get quiet?” and fully answer it. Sometimes the answer is something like “I’m afraid I’ll feel sad.” Be your best friend about it and work it through.

5.     Prioritize peace. Want quiet more than you want to be right or figure something out. Go somewhere you can’t be interrupted or distracted. No animals. No phone. No other people. Breathe deep and slow. Relax your muscles. Do steps 1-4 as many times as needed. 

One more thought: You are your own best expert on you. Ask yourself what would help you to be the eye of the hurricane, to be able to have lots whirling around you but be insulated from it. I bet you have even better answers than I came up with. 

And then Quiet Your Mind and Enjoy!

PS I also have guided Quieting Your Mind exercises in my Speaking Soul-to-Soul Audio Course on the Store page.

Making Your Horse Dreams Come True

I teamed up with Wendy Murdoch, Shari Jaeger Goodwin, and our terrific participants to talk about ways people can empower themselves to make their horse dreams come true. It was a lot of fun and I hope it inspires you to take some steps forward towards your own desires.

Taking Away the Mystique

I wish we were all taught animal communication in kindergarten! At that age, many of the children around the show and tell circle would already have stories about talking to their pets. We have always had the ability, but for most of us, it wasn’t nurtured or taught.

I talk to horse owners and their horses all week long. Over and over again people nod and say “I thought so” “I had a gut feeling” “I knew that but I didn’t trust it” Animals are sending us messages all the time, and so often, you are hearing them instinctively without knowing it.

That said, practice makes the process predictable and reliable. I’m working on an advanced mini-course with lots of exercises and troubleshooting, because by the time we are adults that easy trust in one’s ability has eroded. For today, try this simple five-minute exercise and pretend you are in kindergarten again :)

Enjoy!

Close your eyes and take some deep breaths to settle yourself

Bring your animal to mind and ask to be connected

Open your heart and wait until you feel a connection of some sort - this might be warmth or a visual image or just a sense that it's working

Send an open-ended question - How are you today? Is there anything you want me to know?

Wait and listen and receive the answer without questioning it

Say thank you and feel gratitude

Send love and say goodbye

Open your eyes

Using Sure Foot Pads at Misty Meadows Equine Learning Center

If you have been watching my webinars with Wendy Murdoch, you often hear me talking about Misty Meadows. It is located on Martha’s Vineyard in MA, and I was drawn to it because they have unusually happy horses. Here is a webinar that explains what helps this therapeutic riding center work with their horses in true partnership. I teamed up with Susie Buck, Misty’s equine manager, to bring their program to a greater audience.
