"By climbing up into his head and shutting out every voice but his own, 'Civilized man' has gone deaf."
Ursula K. LeGuin
Buffalo Gal
Animals stay happy and healthier when their feelings and thoughts are expressed and understood. The reason for odd, aggressive or destructive behavior can be emotional or physical. An animal’s behavior may also be a reflection of your own unresolved issues and emotional imbalances.
Bernie
Barry called me when his dog Bernie was peeing on the carpet. After sitting with Bernie for a half an hour I heard only one thing; “I don’t want to go back.” When I asked Barry if he had any idea what this meant, he admitted that out of frustration he would tell his dog that he was going to take him back to the rescue organization. Bernie, I was later told, had returned there many times after having been placed in several foster homes. He urinated out of fear and insecurity. The issue was resolved when I reassured Bernie that his home with his person Barry was permanent.
If the behavior problem is emotional you will usually see an immediate change in your animal after a communication session. Sometimes you’ll feel the healing energy of the communication or notice your animal totally relax during the session, even if the session is done long distance.
"I knew when you were working on my dog Henry. Around 9:00 p.m. last night I felt the energy shift in the room. Then Henry settled down and became very relaxed as though he was really listening." - Denise Coutier, West Hollywood, CA
Ertha
One of my seven cats was not using the litter box. I sat on my bed, closed my eyes and mentally asked. “Whoever is having problems, please show me now who you are.” Moments later my girl cat Ertha jumped on the bed, squatted and strained in front of me leaving a few drops of blood on the bedspread. She had a bladder infection and was in pain. How else could she get her point across except to leave her pee and blood all over the house for me to see?
Truffle
Katie called me when her cat Truffle was not eating and disappearing into the neighbor’s yard. When I asked Truffle why she was leaving her yard, I felt pain in her mouth and a burning sensation in her tummy. It turned out Truffle had advanced periodontal disease along with IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). These were just byproducts of the bigger problem. Truffle was diagnosed with FIV.
Mr. Boots
A cat’s aggression was due to his physical pain. This three year old stray was being fed by the staff outside a Doctor’s office. When the patients would pet the cat he would suddenly bite their ankles (on occasion drawing blood). The Doctor, afraid of being sued, said the cat had to go. Knowing no one wants a cat who bites I took him home. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Once home he was unpredictable, sometimes flying into a wild biting frenzy when I simply walked past him. He began to trust me after conveying to me the pain he felt when any pressure was applied to his hind area. He showed me an image of himself falling from a tree when he was a kitten. The fall did permanent damage. As an adult he felt vulnerable, and anticipating pain if mishandled he bit to protect himself.
Pierre
Louise, from West Hollywood, CA, could not walk her dog Pierre for he would lunge at people and other dogs that passed him. Louise confided that Pierre had tried to bite someone once, and terrified of it happening again she tightened up on Pierre’s leash when a person or another dog approached. When I talked to Pierre and asked him why he lunged at people I got no reply. He didn’t know why he did it. He was picking up on Louise’s fear and either trying his best to protect her, or reacting to her fearful emotions. When Louise was truly able to relax with herself she was then able to walk Pierre without him ever lunging at anyone again.
Amy
Milissa’s dog Amy had arthritis. Milissa was always sad, convinced that her dog Amy was in debilitating pain and would never enjoy life again. She was most distraught that Amy no longer romped and played in the park. Milissa was so sympathetic that she even cried during our session. Her dog Amy was confused and deeply concerned about Milissa’s sadness. Pain was the last thing on Amy’s mind. After talking to Amy I asked Milissa to lighten up...
"Dexter, what you said about not bringing my sadness onto my dog totally worked. I took Amy to the park today, and she was rolling and very happy just like before!" - Milissa Meyer
Sno Ball & Charlie
Neisha Warner, from Los Angeles, discovered that her thoughts alone had an affect on her animal’s behavior. After my session with her two fighting cats, Sno Ball and Charlie, Neisha had this to say...
"The hardest but most interesting part of this (communication) experience was learning to train myself to think differently, to literally stop and redirect my thoughts, make a concerted effort to stay positive and not work from fear. Whatever we picture in our heads, the animals will pick up and act upon. This means that if I was to fear another fight and picture it in my head, the cats would "see" the fight and do it. If I were to picture them getting along, sleeping side by side, eating side-by-side, etc. then they would get that picture instead. It took time, but it worked!"
