A Cat Protector

Many times something will occur in your life - even if you do not have a pet that might surprise you, possibly even alarm you and yet always there's a good explanation.

Some of you who live with cats, as a blog friend does, have experiences like that. A recent post referred to such an event of being woken up in the middle of the night by the cat and that the cat made such an effort to wake this blogger up that she actually received a couple of small scratches. Why do things like this happen?

Of course there are other dramatic situations such as another incident like that that I'm aware of that happened to an old workmate years ago where after a particularly hard night out and about he came home and fell asleep on the couch and was wakened in the wee hours by the cat furiously touching him and yes scratching him and his body to wake up and while that was an unpleasant experience when he woke up the house was on fire.

He grabbed the cat and got out. Well, his apartment was a total loss. Of course one has to consider - what if he didn't have a cat?

Now I'm not here to campaign in a public relations sort of way for having cats for we all have our favorite kind of pets or none for that matter. I am saying that animals never do anything without a reason.

It is easy isn't it - almost seductive to imagine that cats in particular are mysterious and one never knows why they do what they do but in my experience with them, and that is extensive, I have discovered that cats are keenly interested in our spiritual development.

Granted, some cats are better at this than others and therefore show more interest in encouraging these qualities in us and will work with us if we show them or speak to them declaring our interest in this fashion.

I have found in the past that it is necessary that the cat actually be awake - not in a meditative state as they can get but actually awake and to make eye contact with them - and don't just stare at them. State out loud if you do claim this as your own desire - state, "I am desiring to further my spiritual goals and I welcome you to help me and teach me and share with me in the best way you are able to accomplish that intention." Those words ought to do it.

If your cat has the capability he or she might take you on as a student. I have had this experience with cats before. Granted - by the time I stated that to a particular cat I had already had many, many interactions with spiritual cats.

I have heard many people say that they have had these experiences with dogs and horses and birds and other things and I have had some of these experiences as well but I'm speaking to you about this today because of being reminded about the blogger friends experience.

I do not feel it is my place to tell her that her cat is doing this or that but on the other hand it has stimulated me to remind you that animals do nothing without a purpose.

It is very important to know that their purpose is not always rudimentary. It's not always - they need to eat, they need to go out - something like that. It is often very subtle and frequently has to do with protecting you if they are a beloved pet.

In the case of the recent "attack" of the blogger friend, I have looked at this and realize that there was a discomforting energy present in the room that the cat was not able to remove by interacting with the spirit. I am not saying that there are malevolent spirits per se and this spirit was not specifically malevolent but it was lost.

This happens and there are ways to help them to find their way home and I will speak about that another time on another post but for right now I'll simply say that the cat could not deflect the spirit and was concerned that it would harm her beloved friend and therefore as a last resort made the effort to wake her friend.

Keep in mind that cats and your beloved pet whoever they are always have a reason for what they are doing. I will say more about these things in time.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

The Look

I was reminded recently by something I saw on another blog - it was a beautiful if somewhat sad picture of a cat who had an unusual look on the face. This unusual look, a stare they give you often, is something I have seen before several times with cats and dogs and sometimes people for that look in the eyes always means the same thing.

It is often found in the eyes of the elderly dog or cat or horse or other being. It means the same thing. It means - will you......

This look is very simple. It does not require any action on your part. You don't have to do anything, you don't have to take them anywhere but it is important to be able - when you are able to say something. It can be said only if you mean it and no further action on your part is needed. Also it is only necessary to say it once.

They must be awake when you say it or at least if possible conscious in some way. If in the case of a human being or an animal that is suffering they are not actually awake or under sedation you can still say it in those circumstances but only if you mean it.

This is what to say or something like it, "I am giving you permission to move on, to pass over, to die. You can, I am sure feel that urge and that need and if you've been staying here only because you love me but you feel the call to be elsewhere or you are suffering in some way that I do not see and it cannot be measured by others then please know I love you and if you need to move on and pass over into the life beyond it is alright with me."

Never say that unless you really mean it because at that stage of life whatever being is told that including a human being they will read what you say by the feelings they have in response to your feeling. In other words, what you are emanating as a feeling.

So don't say it until you are ready to say it and do consider that this is a permission that we all may wish to ask some day. We come to this planet, we live as well as possible and some day we must move on even though we may be surrounded by loved ones.

We, at that stage of life, may need their permission because it is possible for a human being to hang on so tightly to someone they love that one feels obligated to stay alive no matter how much suffering is involved. I know this is not something that is easy for anyone but I do feel that it is important to put it out here because life and death and life again is part of the normal cycle here on Earth.

I recall once having to break the news to a friend of mine that her cat whom she loved dearly who was giving her the look really just needed to be told by her that she gave her permission to pass over and that it absolutely did not mean that she would pass over right then and there but that it would probably mean that she would no longer be getting the look because her cat needed to know that she had that permission.

I know it may seem strange to you that a beloved pet might do this but you see they love us so much that they need to know that we can get along without them and that they don't have to suffer and that they have our permission to move on when the time's right for them.

So she did do that and of course her beloved cat stopped giving her the look. I just thought I'd mention that.

Remember, if you make the statement to your pet releasing them from their bonds to you that it cannot be made with reservation - meaning you cannot say - I give you permission to die but please, please stay with me as long as possible. You see that doesn't really work because your cat is paying attention to your feelings first and your words second.

So it is absolutely essential that you be prepared to say this. Don't just say it as words because they are not enough. So practice, practice saying it out loud and remember this must be said out loud. It can be whispered if the moment calls for that but it must be said out loud in some way and you must truly give them permission from your feelings as well.

So, I know it is a sacrifice and yet I can almost guarantee you once you say that with the feeling of really releasing them from hanging on to the bitter end because you need them so much - once you give them that permission you won't see the look anymore.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Contacting Auric Fields

I recall a friend of mine once was having headaches on a regular basis and he got to the point where he just didn't tell anybody about it because there wasn't much he could do about it and he was just kind of worn down by the experience.

I recall once when he was visiting me at the trailer park that he casually mentioned that he was having one of his headaches. So I asked him to stand up and I reached towards him without touching him in the general direction of his head and suddenly he stood up straight and said, "Oh - headache had completely gone away." It came back slightly but then it felt so much better he didn't want me to do any more.

Now I'm bringing this to your attention because at the time I wasn't entirely sure what had happened because I was functioning spontaneously. I had not done to much work with people in what is often called healing but what is really from my perspective, the removal of discomfort for a time and sometimes it's permanent but thats the way I prefer to look at it. I just touched his auric field. I didn't touch his body and I recall I was no closer then about - oh maybe a foot away from his head when it felt better.

I'm bringing this to your attention because I feel that some of you may have this capability and I'd like to suggest you try something. Reach your hand out and gradually move your hand, palm facing your body, towards your body and see if you notice a little resistance or a very slight feeling in your physical body.

When you have that feeling it probably means that you are contacting your auric field. The same can be done with another person but I recommend that you explore the parameters - meaning the distance of your auric field from your body - for a time. This will give you an opportunity to observe a phenomena that is a real thing for us all and also will give you an opportunity to enjoy a capacity that can be used in other ways.

For instance, not long ago I recommended to a friend that when his cat was busy - and he's very fond of his cat - or his cat was not feeling well and he wanted to pet his cat to soothe it and calm it that he could pet his cats auric field by moving his hand towards his cat and when he felt a slight resistance or a slight feeling in his own body that that was as close to his cat as his hand ought to be. Then with the palm of his hand facing his cat he could follow the contours of his cats body just as if he was petting the cat from head to tail. In that case it would be good to make strokes from head to tail, pull your hand back and then move your hand towards your cats head and go head to tail. This way you're not pushing the energy back and forth.

I'm not suggesting that you pet yourself from head to tail but I'm giving you an example of how this can be used and I will build on it in the future.

Goodlife.

Understanding Your Auric Field Through Your Pet's Needs, Part 1

Greetings. Today I'd like to talk to you briefly about something you can do with your beloved pets.

Sometimes you have noticed, people who have cats eh, that you go to pet your cat or you want to pick your cat up to pet it and cat runs away or lets you know that it doesn't want to be petted then and it can be disconcerting. I'd recommend this - for some cats they will be involved you see, in meditations. You have seen this sometimes - or they will be in a light state of concentration connecting with their peers perhaps or the home planet - who knows. Cats are mysterious and are clearly designed to be in our lives to support our quest for the unknown besides being a comfort as they often are.

This is what I recommend and it can be applied I might add, to dogs or any animal that is otherwise distracted or in pain or elderly and cannot receive touch comfortably. First observe the contours of cats body since I'm using cat for an example here today. Then once you've observed that, approach cat from a distance.

Don't get much closer than a few feet away with your hand - don't touch cat. Perhaps you'll be standing over cat, and do not make like you're going to touch cat or even think about touching cat because cats are perceptive and so are dogs I might add and other creatures as well. Then standing about oh, a foot or two away from cat or whatever is your arms length reach towards cat with your right or left hand as if you were going to pet cat but pet them slowly from a distance of about two to even as much as three feet following the contour of their body.

You might say - well, what comfort is there in this - but I will get there - and see if cat has any reaction. Cat might look at you, might seem comforted, might enjoy the experience but you see - what you are doing is that you are petting along the general lines of the cats auric field and cat will be comforted - feeling safe. That is the key to understanding this process.

We all want and need to feel safe and your cat or your dog or other being that you love needs to feel safe and such petting is an honoring of their personal space and whatever they are engaged in even though it may not be obvious to us at the moment.

Now for the second part of this brief talk today I'd like you to practice on yourself feeling your own auric field. So extend your right or left arm, whichever you're comfortable doing, and have your palm facing your body.

See if you can heighten the sense of feeling - meaning really be inside and on the surface of whichever hand is facing your body at that distance and move it very gradually and slowly toward your chest or solar plexus - anyplace that your hand would be most comfortably moving towards.

You can sit or stand or even lay down - thats fine. What you're looking for here is not resistance so much but a slight sense of contact or touch. It will be very slight for most of you though for some of you there might be some - perhaps a little more feeling - and see if you can notice it. Thats all for today - just notice it. That is your own auric field and I will build on that knowledge in the future.

Goodlife.
