Monday, January 19: Manifest Destiny - Co-creating with your animals!

Manifest Destiny with your animals on this Monday's show

About a year ago I was doing a reading with a woman and her horse. The woman had come to recognize that the stable her horse was boarded at was desperately inadequate. The horse was not being feed enough, nor was there adequate water. She was feeling guilty and carrying tremendous responsibility about finding a new stable, immediately.

I checked in with her horse and I commented that "he had just as much ability to manifest his new home as she did". The 'aha' light went off for all of us. In our conscious relationship with our animals, we have the ability to co-create the things we want and THAT is the topic of Monday's show - Manifesting with our animals.

My guest are Karen Biehl and her animal friend Eli. They have a mission statement and are co-creating an amazing life.

Mercury Retrograde and Pets

by Kathy Biehl

The planet Mercury began its first retrograde of the year today. If you're aware of the concept of Mercury retrograde, you probably associate it with snafus in communication and transportation. Technology misfires; messages get garbled or blocked; travel is delayed. That's not all, though. Anything ruled by Mercury can come up for revisiting or benefit from closer attention under a retrograde. And one of the things that Mercury rules is pets.

The general advice about not making a major purchase during a Mercury retrograde applies to pets. This is not an optimal time to adopt, buy or take in a pet. If you do, something about the pet will probably not be what you think. There's a high risk of a critical piece of information being left out, forgotten, withheld or misunderstood.

On the plus side, this is an ideal time to learn more about and reconnect with an animal that's already with you. Pay close attention to its behavior; if something changes, the cause may not be what it first seems. Make a point to spend more time together, too. The interaction will make you both feel better -- and will counterbalance some of the frustrations that Mercury heaps upon you. When you get home late because traffic was snarled, the loving touch of a pet can help wipe your slate clean.

Mercury will be retrograde from January 11 through February 2. It will happen again from May 6-May 30, September 6-September 29, and December 26 till January 15 of next year.

Male Cat Baldness

We receive many letters and emails from people who have learned other important lessons by observing animals in their homes or in nature. Here are a couple stories that might cause you to wonder who is teaching whom in human-animal relationships.

Lynn Hewitt says that her cat Poog has the kind of expressive green eyes that convey his intelligence and gentle heart. She writes about an experience with her brother-in-law, Ron, Poog's favorite houseguest.

"Ron has a calm and determined manner. What Ron says and does, reflects his inner feelings with a consistency and integrity that Poog obviously understands and respects. Whenever Ron visits, Poog behaves as if a royal prince has entered his realm."

Ron customarily wears a baseball cap. It covers his shaved, bald scalp. On one occasion, Ron took off his cap when he came into the house. This was the first time Poog had ever seen him without it. Since the cat always paid the most worshipful attention to Ron, it was with great dismay that Poog observed the change in his friend's demeanor.

The sight of hairless Ron caused Poog to begin moaning. He circled Ron slowly and jumped up on the chair to look more closely at the disaster that had been visited upon his hero. Poog's sad eyes told the story of his empathy for a fallen prince who had obviously endured a great disaster.

Lynn writes, "Poog clearly communicated horror and sympathy for Ron's 'furless' head. It brought tears to the eyes of several humans in the room as Poog slowly crept respectfully up the arm of this honored guest and gently licked and kissed his scalp in obvious sorrow and sympathy. There are greater tragedies in a cat's world, but the shaving away of fur was certainly a calamity Poog recognized. His sincere and gently offered condolence remains a lesson in the innate character and virtues of our animal friends, especially when their unique gifts of individuality are consistently honored and nurtured with love and respect."

Has an animal expressed his or her sympathy toward your physical or emotional situation?
