04.01.21 HOW OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS TEACH US TO HEAL OURSELVES AND THEM. No, this is not an April Fool's Day topic. This is for real. Today, I want to talk about how we can achieve further healing for ourselves and our animal friends.

When we make our Life Agreements with ourself and those who will work with us to teach us in each lifetime, many of us also contract with souls who are still in their Second Density of consciousness--animals. These animals arrive as pets, sometimes.

Other times they arrive as strays who need homes or food, or they may have been injured and need medical attention. They always show up at just the right time for whatever lesson they've agreed to teach us.

I will tell you about one of my dogs--who arrived as an epileptic rescue. He had such bad epilepsy that I thought the original rescuer I adopted him from should have put him down as a puppy. He was visibly suffering. The original rescuer was able to stabilize him, though.

He was absolutely the cutest puppy I've ever seen, and I knew when I saw him he was supposed to be with me. This was a long time before I was told who I actually am. I had no clue how I would manage the epilepsy, if the meds stopped working.

I was doing a QHHT session with one of my good friends, and I asked to talk to the Ankenash about this puppy and his seizure disorder. I was more than a bit surprised to find that the epilepsy was my challenge--not his, as he agreed to take it on to teach me.

I could not understand what I was hearing, so I asked for clarification. The Ankenash told me the epilepsy was meant to teach me compassion. I said, "What? I'm already compassionate towards animals. That's why I have rescue dogs."

The Ankenash replied: "Oh, it's not compassion for animals you lack. It's compassion for people you need to work on." I was still pretty incredulous, because I always thought I was a good person who was compassionate towards others.

The Ankenash told me that as my compassion improved, the puppy's epilepsy would improve. They told me to leave him on his meds, and I would know when it was time to withdraw him from them, and he would be OK.

Looking back at this experience, I can see how integral it was to my eventually maturing to a point that I could step into this job a few years later. It set me on the path of taking apart every thought I had, after it forced me to see a lot of my thoughts were awful.

From then on, I started to deprogram all of the awful thinking I had learned from my family, from my family's religion, from other people, and from myself, about what I thought about other people and their lives. I started to look for ways to be compassionate.

I found myself in tears a lot as I reconsidered my positions on what I believed about people and groups of people, and realized that I had just lacked compassion all the way around. I had let my own thinking impose standards on the way others ought to live their free will.

It took a few months before I could see a lot of progress in myself, and the puppy started to gradually improve. I once again approached the Ankenash, and asked, "Is he better now? Can I take him off his medication?"

And they said, "No, not yet, but both of you are improving." I continued to work on it. Eventually, they said we both made excellent progress, and he could come off his meds.

Then last week, I was feeling really grouchy about a disagreement with a family member, casting judgment, being obnoxious in general. My poor dog had the most terrifying seizure I have ever seen, crying out in pain during the whole thing.

I was once again reminded that what we have healed in ourselves can become a problem once again, if we don't keep working on the thoughts and behaviors that cause the energetic disturbances in our lives. I apologized to the dog and hugged him.

I know that this dog measures how well I am doing on my path to liberate myself from all of the human crap I have learned in this lifetime. He came as a member of my team, to teach me valuable lessons on how to heal myself of bad human habits.

I have another rescue dog who is here to teach me patience. I've asked for his healing--he suffers from a nasty GI disorder caused by a bad case of Parvo from a backyard breeder who didn't vaccinate puppies.

He nearly died from the horrible illness that is Parvo, and now, suffers still from an inability to balance bacteria in his gut--an artifact of the Parvo. I am still trying to learn the lessons of being patient with a dog who has big bowel problems.

I keep trying to heal him, and I keep getting told I still need to learn to be more patient. I keep trying to be more patient. Sometimes I do well, other times I just get tired of dealing with a dog with bowel problems.

People and animals agree to help us learn lessons and effect healing within us. That bad habit of your pet may actually be a mirror to your own bad habits or thoughts. That illness might be trying to teach you compassion or how to care more deeply for others.

The Kiwi woman who awakened me in this life had a way of talking with animals that I have tried, and I think it works pretty well--she recommended putting one's forehead up to a dog's or cat's or horse's forehead, and "hearing their thoughts."

It is possible to communicate with our animal friends in QHHT sessions, as well, as they have the very same souls we are, and can communicate with us through that modality. Perhaps there is something you can learn from your animal friends, like I have learned from mine.

Animals can teach us so many things, and prepare us in some very profound ways to step into our missions of service and be better at serving others. I hope you will take the time to have a chat with your animal friends, and see what it is they are trying to teach you.

Much love to all of you. Thank you for being here with me, and thank you for your great service to Humanity.
