Gidget and Kylie Speak. What the Animal Communication Reading Revealed.

Posted by Barbara Techel

IMG_1968I knew I’d want Dawn, an animal communicator, to do a reading with Gidget. She has done them for Frankie and Joie, and each time they have been spot on. I also learn so much from them and about myself in the process. Well, I felt the time was finally right to find out what Gidget had to share.  So we set it up for yesterday afternoon.

Last Friday I sent her many photos of Gidget by herself, with me, with John, and with Kylie. She emailed me Saturday saying she woke up that morning with Kylie very much on her mind. She asked that I send over photos of her also as  she felt Kylie wanted to take part in the reading, too.

I could hardly wait for yesterday to arrive knowing both Kylie and Gidget had much to share.

Gidget was ready to share first.  Dawn said that she feels Gidget is a very special, individual dog and that she is a Master Teacher.  She expresses herself in many different ways.  Sometimes as a puppy, sometimes as a very wise dog. She is a puppy, wise dog, and teacher.

This feels right on to me.  Since first seeing her photo on Petfinder to bringing her home I could feel something very different about her. The fact that she is both wise and a puppy at times made sense in that I don’t really know her “true” age. While it doesn’t all that much matter to me, this actually made sense that age is just a number.  Gidget is all these facets of a dog, no matter her age.

So I’m going to go back and forth between what Gidget shared and Kylie, because that is how the reading unfolded.

Next Dawn shared that she feels Kylie is an emotional calmer. She is a very grounding and sweet dog. “What you see, is what you get.” I couldn’t have agreed more. That is exactly Kylie. She also has held the center for a very long time. Again, right on.  I’ve always felt that way about Kylie.

What really struck me is what she said next as I’ve been feeling this from Kylie also.  Dawn said, “She has come into her own, which has helped her.” John and I have talked about this quite often since Gidget has been with us. Kylie seems more comfortable and at ease in our lives. She loves to hang out with us, no matter what room we are in, when she didn’t always do that before.

Dawn said that Kylie is a teacher in the sense of what it means to be a dog and communicating that to humans.

Gidget relies on Kylie for certain things, especially helping her to feel grounded.

Gidget has many different personalities. Not in the sense as humans would view this, but because she is perceived in many different ways by others. She actually can adjust easily to these projections of how others see her. This made sense to me also because sharing photos here and on Facebook I’ve had people comment she looks like a puppy, wise, smart, and intelligent.

Now for the part that had me saying, “Whew.” Gidget is here to help me understand that I have a high degree of capability. She shared that it’s as if I am at the top of a mountain, the tipping point, just about to go over. She is here to help me get stronger emotionally as well as with my self image. She knows I am coming more into my maturity, spirituality and elder wisdom.

Regarding the tipping point, Gidget feels I am dealing with being more in balance, while having one foot of connection in this world, and one foot in another. Whew. I believe she is right. For me, it speaks to my fascination with what animals are here to teach us and wanting to go deeper with knowing more.

Dawn said that Gidget needs help with balance in much the same way, one foot in this world, and one foot in another (or perhaps with her it is paw!)—so we are together to help each other with this and in a true partnership together.Our work together is very inward orientated. Dawn said not that Gidget isn’t good with others in the world, but it’s more of a focus on inward work that her and I need to do.

This makes so much sense to me after losing Joie and the inward work I did then, and really, continue to do. Gidget is here to keep me on that path.

Gidget has much wisdom to share with me and her challenge is learning how to communicate that to me. She feels it is a very exciting time on our planet because so many people are beginning to awaken. She also feels like I am the first human who understands her for who she is.

It then came time for my questions, some of which I’m not going to share here today as they are between Gidget and me.

But one thing I was curious about was her past.  The reason being if there was something I needed to know that might help me to help her. Gidget didn’t necessarily want to share her past, but would if I really wanted that.  She is focused on her new beginning with me and is very happy and content. She wants to be taken for who she is right now. I accepted that and decided that was perfectly fine with me.

This was a very powerful hour for me with Dawn, Kylie and Gidget.I think what I learned yesterday speaks very much to where I am in my life right now, and I’m so glad I opened myself to another world to explore.

As somewhat of an aside, I have to share what Dawn said about one of the photos I sent her of Gidget and me for the reading, which was this one: g and me 1-14Dawn pointed out the word joy at the bottom left, the stuffed dachshund at the top (that sort of looks like it is coming out my head!), and the bicycle card next to it. These are all parts of what makes up me—what I love.  And as a kind of funny, but something people often comment on, is that I am good at marketing my books… and the book title on the left hand side, “1,001 Ways to Market Your Books.”  No words really needed for this photo, it says it all without speaking a word.

I’m hosting a workshop being presented by Dawn on March 8th and 9th at my home.  If you are interested, here are the details.

Animal Communication with Janet Roper

Posted by Barbara Techel

When I brought my English yellow labrador, Kylie, home almost 5-years ago, I had high hopes and big plans for her and I.  She was going to be my therapy dog and I hoped to visit nursing homes, hospice and hospitals with her.  Part of that plan would be to write about our experiences and the people we would meet.

At the age of 12-weeks we began puppy training classes and then advanced to obedience training.  It was my plan that when I returned from a vacation to Florida that Kylie would then take advanced obedience classes.  I was excited to continue on this path I felt was the right road for me and her.

 

Kylie at 3-months old with Frankie

As many of you know, my plans took a sharp left.  While vacationing in Florida, I received a call that Frankie ruptured a disc in her back.  My vacation was cut 8-days short, and my training with Kylie was put to the side as I cared for Frankie the next three months.

My life unfolded from the tragedy of Frankie’s injury, to realizing I was being given a divine opportunity to share a positive message about animals with disabilities.  In that discovery, I also realized Frankie would make a unique and special therapy dog.  And Kylie?  Well it became apparent that she was not really cut out to be a therapy dog, though she did very well in her training classes.

I’ve always felt bad that I couldn’t give as much time and devotion to Kylie after Frankie’s injury and it has bothered me for years.  I wondered, “Did she know I really loved her?”  “Did she feel neglected because Frankie and I do so much together?”

After doing a radio interview with Janet Roper, Animal Communicator, I felt a connection and comfort level with her.  So I decided to schedule a reading with her for Kylie.  Wow- I sure am glad I did!  I learned so much.

My first question to Janet was, “How does Kylie feel emotionally?”

Janet said, “How interesting you chose that as your first question.” She told me that ever since I sent her a photo of Kylie she was getting an image as if Kylie is in a cloudy fog.  Kylie is not quite sure what her role is in our family.  This made sense to me since she was so abrubly put on the back burner when I had to care for Frankie.

I have felt guilty about this, but never knew quite how to handle it.  Not realizing I am mirroring that guilt back to Kylie, Janet explained that Kylie has picked up on that guilt.   This makes her unsure of how she should be. It made perfect sense to me.  Though I feel awful for “abandoning” her and our therapy dog work, I feel relieved that Kylie told Janet that she knows I love her.  Kylie told Janet her favorite thing is when I get down on the floor with her and hug her around the neck… I was astounded, as this IS one of my favorite things to do with her.

Kylie opened up as the communication continued revealing a reason why she seems “skittish” and not happy about riding in cars.  She processes things much slower than the rest of us.  When Janet explained this, it made alot of sense to me.  Ever since Kylie was little she has always seemed a bit uncoordinated.  When we bounce a tennis ball for her to catch, she is always off by 2-3 seconds.

Though Kylie has a cloudy fog in her mind, which I hope will start to clear as her and I communicate together and I take away the guilt I put on myself, her fog clears around Frankie.  Janet saw a “laser light” around Frankie that was comforting for Kylie.

She then told me Kylie’s three favorite things to do:

-Take naps

-She loves watching over Frankie (awwwwww)

-She loves getting out of Frankie’s way (that struck me as comical and quite true)


Last photo I have of Kylie and Frankie together before Frankie’s injury. 

Janet explained that Kylie needs to be led and told what to do in order to feel right about what is expected of her.  This struck a chord also because it makes sense that I was training her, then it abruptly stopped and she has been unsure of what to do.

Having a reading done with Kylie was such a relief for me and I felt so much better after wards.  I’ve made an extra effort (not that it is effort) to hug Kylie more often, stop and talk to her, and best of all, to spend time with her just one on one.  That time is usually me brushing her outside, which she really seems to love.

There was such profound lessons to be learned in communicating.  We are so used to communicating in words or reading ,or writing, but with animals they don’t communicate in that form.  But having this reading done it helped me to truly understand Kylie more and her needs.

I would highly recommend that if you have ever thought of animal communication for your pet(s) that you give this a try.  It really has made me feel better about my relationship with Kylie and I look forward to watching her blossom as we learn to communicate as only her and I can do.

Each of our animals provide a special relationship different from other pets we may have.  And I will always, always believe that each teach us something new that we needed to learn.  Kylie reinforces for me acceptance and unconditional love.

Have you had an animal communicator help you with a pet?  If so, what did you learn?

Sage Lewis, Certified Life Coach, Animal Trainer, Pet Whisperer, Healer, Author, Radio Person and Fun Person… wow, I'd say Sage is one busy lady!

I recently found out about Sage and her work.  In her June newsletter she wrote this:

"This June I invite you to hang more – to witness the beauty that stillness brings. Breathe in the fresh breezes with your eyes half closed from delight."

She wrote this because this is what animals have taught her.  It reminded me of all my animals have taught me.  When I first realized how vibrant the colors of life were it was because of the diagnoses of bone cancer in my chocolate lab.  It will be four years July 11th that she is gone.  She is an angel in my life that continues to remind me of the beautiful message she left behind for me, and now Frankie carries on that message on.  I really believe animals get this thing called life.  We humans need to pay attention to them.  I know when I do I am a much more peaceful, joyful, relaxed person.

I'm thrilled to say I will be on Sage's radio show, The Pet Playground on Sunday, August 23rd at 6:00p CST.  Hope you can tune in!

Sage will also be using her skills as an animal communicator to share her insight with me about Cassie Jo, my chocolate lab.  I've been wanting to do this for quite sometime, so can't wait to have this done.  I'll share what I learn!
