Huff A Little Less

Today I was at Adams Fairacre Farms, a local market, picking up a few things I needed. When I got to the check out, I swiped my card. Have you ever noticed all of the swipe machines are just slightly different? So I asked the cashier, 'do I press cancel or enter for credit'. The woman let out an audible and slightly perturbed 'huff' and said, 'you press the 'credit' button.'

Loving and Understanding the Animals in Our Lives: A Conversation With Animal Clairvoyant Christine Agro

This was an interview I did in 2007 with Catherine VanHarren.

After just five minutes into a conversation with Christine Agro, an ebullient, intelligent, warm individual with an easy laugh and an innate, incredible cache of wisdom regarding the deep connections between humans and animals, you'll be guaranteed to come away with a newfound appreciation and knowledge of yourself, the animals who grace your life, and a fuller understanding of the intrinsic bond you share with your beloved animals.

Christine Agro is an animal clairvoyant and natural healer. She was born with and subsequently spent years learning to understand and use her clairvoyance.  As anyone who has pets knows, we will do nothing short of climbing mountains to be able to understand the whimsical, disturbing, and downright "strange" behavior of our extended families -- those dogs, cats, fish, gerbils, birds, horses, reptiles, and so on  -- who give us both unconditional love and a mysterious combination of mixed messages.

Animals Hold A Natural Ability To Heal

Over the years, animals have shared many amazing insights into how we as humans impact our own health and wellness.

The very first lesson was powerful and awe-inspiring.  Two different animals showed me that the body has a natural ability to heal.  Both humans and animals can tap into this innate ability, but by far animals tap into more readily and more often.

Dis-ease starts as energy.  Dis-ease manifests into something physical or tangible so that we can see the energy and clear it. When we are supported through natural measures, the body, energetic or physical, can then realign itself and healing happens.

The Power of The Spiritual Bond Between People and Animals

A woman came to me and said “My dog won’t walk with me.  She insists on walking behind me. No matter what I do, she won’t walk with me.  I’ve tried training. I’ve tried to bribe her. I’ve even gotten frustrated and yelled at her, but nothing has helped.”

When I checked in with the dog, the first thing I noticed was that the woman lived in the past.  She spent all of her time thinking about her past experiences, focusing on the things that have happened to her, both good and bad and lived in a dream like space of past time.

Delhi and Connecticut; Is There a Connection?

As individuals we can refuse to heed the gentle messages being sent to us from a higher source that our lives are moving in the wrong direction or are out of alignment with our true life plan. That higher source for you may be God, The Universe or as in my belief, your own Spirit. If we refuse to listen to these gentle messages, the messages get louder and louder until we can’t ignore them. The loudest messages have a ‘rip the rug out from under you’ dynamic. They are messages that tell us that change not only needs to happen, but will happen.

The Difference Between Fire and Anger

There is a difference between Fire and Anger.

I've been looking at it a lot this past week because, well, a lot of people are angry, or is it that they have fire?

Here's how I see the two:

Anger comes from a primitive place within us. For me, I see it rooted in our reptilian brain at the base of our skull, the aspect of our brain which which dictates our most primitive responses. Anger is an energy that overtakes us, taking control of our words, our actions even our body. We are unconscious when we are overcome by anger or as the saying goes 'blinded by anger.' It is an energy that is situated in the head.

Did You Know...?

Did you know that often we unconsciously mirror back the energy and feelings of others, energies like anger and frustration.

It doesn't make us any less responsible for our actions and this mirroring nature only serves to make our lives and the world around us unpleasant and unhappy.

Since we have this natural ability to mirror energy, why not choose to hold a space of love, peace and understanding?

Maybe others will start to mirror that back?

Give it a try - rather than mirroring someone else's bad mood or unhappiness; radiate your own happiness and joy and see if it ripples out to create a difference in the lives of others (and yours).

Things I learned this week...

This week I learned that Cardinals live in groups of 8 or 12 during the winter, but during the spring they are territorial. The male Cardinal feeds the babies while the female prepares the next nest.

I also learned that Red Squirrels are territorial and many don't survive because of this (they don't find their own territory.)  This being said a mama red squirrel can gift a portion of her territory to her child.

There are ripples in the natural order of things...

...that birds know in the scarcity of winter to work and live together, but in the plenty and 'work'  of spring and summer, to create their own space.

...that squirrels can be giving.

Fear of Dying? Or Is It Something Else?

Lately I've been having these 'death' thoughts come up. Strange as it may seem, these tend to come up as I'm approaching a major shift or step in my own Spiritual growth.

It may seem odd, and in unconsciousness, it would be down right scary, but I'm able to see through the fear to understand there is something much deeper going on here. Any aspect of growth is really a 'death'. It is the dying off of the old so that we can grow anew.

Nevertheless, I have fears rising to the surface all around this sense of death.

Instead of pushing it away, I chose to do what I always tell you to do. I chose to pick the energy apart to see just exactly what was in the fear.

Thoughts From My Shower: Money and Manifesting

Today’s “Thoughts From My Shower” focuses on money and manifesting. This month, as in many months, I found myself, not worrying, but definitely not flowing around and within my money space. Toward the end of the month as I again got to the bottom of my checking account I energetically threw my hands up and said “fine, I’m done worrying about this. I’m either where I’m supposed to be or I am not.” The minute I did that, I felt the energy shift in my space and wouldn’t you know it…money flowed.

You Can Run For Election, You Can Vote…If You Can Get There

When I read the news that women in Saudi Arabia had been given the right to both run for election and vote without the approval of a male guardian, I was at first excited and then I felt like I was revisiting that famous Seinfeld episode with the rental car. “You know how to take the reservation. You just don’t know how to hold the reservation.”
