Grief: Healing Vibrations

20/12/2015

Grief. How in the world can you help someone who is dead? They are dead, died, gone, ashes, dust, no more. They can't hear me, see me, know what I am thinking...........or can they? People who die, break away from the physical body. It is the physical body that dies, the spirit still lives in energy. How did you get here in the first place? Your energy body bonded to your physical body for as long as your physical body can last.

When Canine Cancer Strikes

11/11/2015

And there it was one day right out of the blue. It's hard, it's round, it's on my furry child. It's.....it's.....it's.....a lump!!! Alert, Alert!!! Oh my goodness, as I sit next to her and stare at it. No, it couldn't be. I feel it again to double check and triple check. I do a dog once over again and again, all over. Yes, it's still there. It wasn't there yesterday. We check you everyday in our morning ritual to get you ready for your day.

When you listen to a horse, I mean really, really listen, the horse can teach you many things about them and yourself. By listen, I mean...... listen with your heart. Not just the beating of your heart, but the connection to your soul with the horse.

Bella: Butterfly Flutters

28/7/2015

Butterfly. Monarch Butterfly. Bella lived deep in the lush green forests cocooned from the rest of the world. Until today she was oblivious to the sounds of the frogs croaking, the birds singing and the smells of the delights of the forest. But today was a special day. Today was Bella's day. She was ready to spread her wings and introduce herself to the world.

Cats: Healing Purr-fectly

6/6/2015

Cats give us the impression they are independent and aloof, but they also teach us that it is ok to let others in, even if only sometimes. When you have gained their trust, a loyal friend you have made. It is humbling moment when they let you know. They let us know when you are with people that care about you, it is ok to relax and be yourself.

Look no fur-ther for a warm cuddly friend on those days you need the support of a purr-fect friend. Cats are great teachers and healers to those they sense are in need.

Dan-de-lions are roaring!

5/5/2015

Bees. Once upon a time there was a bee named Dan. He had slept all winter and was still pretty tired and cold but he was getting hungry waiting for the sun to come out and warm up nature. He was all snuggled up with his family of 30,000 bees in their hive keeping warm. Sometimes the sun warms up the hive and it can trick a bee into thinking spring has sprung. Dan had learned from his family that it was dangerous for a bee to venture out of the hive or even out of the comforts of the warmth of their snuggle. His uncle couldn't wait one year and he was sadly missed. In memory of his uncle, the bees all met and decided they would elect a head bee for each hive. Dan was now protector of the lady worker bees and their precious Queen Bee of their hive until Springtime.

Earth Day

Earth Day

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

What does Earth Day mean to you? To me Earth Day is a time to say "thank you" to the earth. Not just the earth as we pass it by everyday, but every bit of the earth - the soil (a.k.a. dirt, soil, ashes, dust) we walk over each day; the trees that produce the oxygen for us to breath; the plants that grow food for us to eat; the herbs and flowers that heal us; the air we so naturally breathe; the water we hydrate ourselves with; the ancient rainforests of medicinal wonders.

A Whale of a Dream

14/4/2015

Whale of a dream.

One of the great things about dreams is that you can be anywhere with the most incredible souls on earth even if your season is different than that in the dream. Waiting for the winter to move on, I can move freely in my dream with warmth.

Healing Trees of Life

1/3/2015

Today is hiking day, whether physically or mentally. I dreamt about it all night long. It was a great adventure so come join me. It's summer time and the weather is warm. You are dressed comfortably as you lace up your hiking shoes. The forest is calling with songs and lullabies enticing you to come for a visit in its lush green foliage. It's a day to retreat into nature to smell the natural delights of tree bark, leaves, the fresh morning dew.

Seal. Dear sweet Kadiddlehopper was found one day in the fall of 2014 washed up on a beach in Central California, USA. She was sad and lonely and had not alot of weight for a Northern Fur Seal. But that day was her lucky day for she was then on her way to the Marine Mammal Centre in California.

Pets & Grief: Animal Wings

7/2/2015

Pets and Grief. As animals are more spiritually evolved than humans, they get their wings before us too. Humans come to earth to learn, while animals come to earth to teach us what we need to know to elevate ourselves to our next spiritual level. Animals communicate with their mind, body and soul. They feel and sense energy all around them and can see particles the human eye can not detect. Have you ever watched your animal watch something in the air that you can not see but you know they can? A what, a who, a where, we sit and wonder. Even in death, animals are still teaching us.

Today my dream was different. It happened in the day. It was full of information that carried on all day. I wrote and wrote as the words spilled out from deep within my soul.

I was sitting with my fur baby, just another day, when all of a sudden I remembered another that had gone not long ago. He came to let me know he was full of wit and vigor and how his journey unraveled for all of us to know. Here his story unfolds.

doG is God spelled backwards

3/2/2015

And to this day a doG loves you all the days of their life, their energy connects with you, heals you and their spirit remains with you always. And this is true for other animals too.

When God was getting ready one morning to greet his children home, He pinned on a name tag because it was so long since some of them saw Him, although it was but a mere moment in time. He wished he could send a reminder to all His children on earth to remind them to love one another.

As he glanced in the mirror, he caught a glimpse of his name tag reflection that appeared backwards, "doG", and all of a sudden it came to Him, I need to send doGs to earth to teach people to love one another.

And to this day a doG loves you all the days of their life, their energy connects with you, heals you and their spirit remains with you always. And this is true for other animals too.

Angel Dreams: Healing Waters

1/1/2015

Water cleanses our system so it is important to drink fresh natural water. It is also important to feed your animals fresh natural water as they are affected by health issues and allergens too. Water helps heal the body. When the body is healed, the mind is clear, when the mind is clear, love flows from the depths of our souls.

As I slept last night, I dreamt I had a baby dragon all snuggly and warm sleeping on my shoulder. I was caring for the dragon but it was ill and was making me ill too. I was locked in a room, too ill to open the door to get help. I was on the floor violently ill coughing up black blobs.

It was then that Raphael came to heal and protect me. I had no fear as my Angel, as are all, made with God's love. He simply walked through the locked door in all his mighty splendor. Roses, gardenia and lavender divinely scented the room. He looked at me with compassion and disbursed the dragon and blobs into the healing Light to heal. He gently wrapped me in his arms and calmly spoke with his great wisdom to heal me:

                      "Stop drinking the city water."

Working with animal teachers is very rewarding. One of the places I offer Reiki is to the animal teachers at my local Wildlife Park. Maybe you’ve been there before, Two Rivers Wildlife Park, near Marion Bridge, Nova Scotia, Canada, or heard the famous folk song Allister McGillivray wrote, “Song for the Mira”, about this beautiful community nestled along both sides of the Mira River.

Angel Dreams: Holding the Light

29/12/2014

Angel Dreams: Holding the Light. For me Reiki is love. I do animal Reiki because animals are love and love to channel love. The more animals you find populating in an area, the more their message of love is needed in that area. Welcome them into your heart and they will teach you great things. We can all be part of the Light that lights up this world. From East to West and North to South, let your Light shine in this World; let it circumvent this globe. Love really is all there is in the beginning, during and in the end. And so it is and always will be. Love will endure without end.

Last night I had a dream. I was dreaming in my dream. I was peaceful and oblivious to the happenings in the world. The Angels were protecting and teaching me. I had fallen asleep in class with students all around me. I was learning from the Angels while the other students were learning in class. As I slept the power went out and light was needed to fix the fuse panel but there were no lights to be found.
