🐶 Pet Communicator

Today I want to share my experience having a pet communicator read my dogs. (and Friday the 13th is très apropos!)

When Zero passed away I was having a hard time healing. He was my little man, always snoring under my bed or dancing around begging for scraps at my feet when I was cooking. I felt like a large part of my heart was missing and I wanted to be reassured he was at peace and watching over us.

A friend referred us to a wonderful lady named Emerald DeCoeur, who helps families communicate with animals, both living and deceased. I sent her a few photos of our dogs over email and we scheduled a 1 hour in-home consultation.

Emerald is nothing short of marvelous. She worked with Dolly and Coco on a few behavioral issues, as well as reaching Zero and my childhood dog Latte and helped us to communicate with them.

She uses telepathy to speak to animals and helps convey our feelings to each other, deepening the relationship between human and animal.

Emerald let us know that both Zero and Latte are watching over us and see everything that goes on in our lives. Zero didn’t want to go and wishes desperately that he was still with us. He said he was able to say goodbye to Dolly and Coco before he passed, and that he isn’t in pain anymore. Emerald also said he isn’t facing everyone where he is, he has his back to them (my deceased family) and is facing us. He very much enjoyed our current home and felt like he was in charge of it. 

Latte wanted everyone to know she’s still as cute and barks just as loud and runs as fast as she did when she was with us, haha. 

Dolly let us know that she really does like Coco (we honestly weren’t sure) but she can’t stand loud noises, and that she’s a little leery of the stroller we walk her in. Coco wants Zero’s ashes displayed down low so she can smell them and feel comfort and also that she has a high amount of stomach acid and an underdeveloped esophagus, so she prefers softer food. She also likes being babied but is excited at the idea of another puppy someday. 

We will definitely call on Emerald in the future. I believe in holistic healing in lieu of medication if possible, and I believe a lot of behavioral issues can be worked out without a prescription, if you only understand how a pet is feeling.

It was a wonderful experience and one that I’ll never forget. She brought so much peace to our home and I am so grateful. I cannot recommend Emerald enough, if you have a pet you’d like to understand better or one that has passed that you’d like to communicate with give her a call!

Meditation

Mediation has become such a huge part of my life in the last few years and I thought this would be a great space to speak about something that I am so passionate about. I am by no means an expert on the subject, but I feel like anyone and everyone could benefit from the power of meditation. 

It all started December 2015 when my husband David booked a private yoga lesson at a local studio for us. I tried it and loved it and pretty soon was practicing yoga 3 days a week. It quickly evolved into reiki sessions and training for myself, massages, ear candling, sound baths, drum healing, chakra work, and meditation. 

I went on to take 2 levels of meditation training, even interning as a teacher assistant during a course. It was life changing to say the least. It was if I was seeing the world for the very first time. 


It took an incredible amount of work to be able to quiet my mind and meditate but I was able to go from 1 minute to 5 minutes and work my way up to an hour or more. 

I could go on and on about the topics of self awareness and meditation for days, but here are a few brief points I've learned along the way that I find most valuable in my every day life:

*That I could quiet my mind and that my mind tries to tell me stories as a human defense mechanism and that I could simply say “no thank you” to them was such a new concept for me.

*The idea of staying “interested but not invested” to drama or gossip or things that simply didn’t serve me was a revelation.

*The only person I need to please in this world is myself and that I am all I need and how it’s better to rid yourself from toxic things and people was a very valuable lesson learned.

*I was suddenly paying more attention to the smaller details such as where my food was coming from, TV shows that I once thought I enjoyed I now saw as senseless drama, and being stuck behind the worse driver suddenly didn’t bother me anymore. I feel more tuned in to myself, both in mind and body, and can honestly say my meditation practice has me feeling the best I’ve ever felt.

*No matter what the world may throw at me, death, illness, job losses, heartbreak, I know that I will be OK. If I'm not OK, that simply means I am dead (morbid, but true) and it won't matter.

*I don’t need to make dialogue up in my head about what may happen or go back over what has happened. What’s in the past is in the past and cannot be changed and what’s in the future hasn’t happened yet so there’s no sense in worrying over it. Worrying or going back over past events is creating suffering for yourself, and that can be harmful. Glen Turner said it best when he said “Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but it gets you nowhere.” There are so many studies out there on stress and anxiety and how they’re linked to illness both mental and physical. 

To meditate for me gives me inner peace and that is priceless. Especially in today’s fast paced world training my mind to be quiet and still and not be a constant whirl of thoughts is so valuable.

I hope to keep meditation a topic on my blog, just little bits of food for thought, since I am so passionate about it. I am no authority on the matter, but if you have any questions shoot me an email, I’d be more than happy to help!
