In this age of ecological emergency, more people are seeing the need to recognize their connection with all living beings. Communication between humans and animals has taken on a deeper meaning and urgency.
As sentient beings, we’re all connected. Animals have a way of knowing if we’re sad, happy, tense, frustrated, or even sick.
Animals play an essential part in the grand plan of life. Yet too often, we think of animals simply as things to serve us when in fact, they have souls and are on an evolutionary path just as we are.
Some animals have been observed performing the same rituals over and over, leading scientists to speculate that they might have a sense of the sacred.
Animals of all kinds, especially the ones sharing our home, can be our spiritual guides and healers if we pay attention.
Anyone who has shared their home and family with a particularly special dog, cat, or other pet is well aware of the value and joy this kind of relationship can bring into your life. Your companion animals express some of the most valuable ways of “being”, simply by being exactly who they are.
