The Animals Know. A Message from Gidget.

Last evening, during an online class, facilitated by Tammy Billups, I had the honor of sharing once again the life-changing wisdom I received from my dachshund, Gidget.

With a group of animal lovers and practitioners in attendance, I expanded on Gidget and my story which is included in Tammy’s book, Animal Wayshowers, about animals who have helped shape and change the lives of their human friends.

During the meditation section of the class we all tuned into Gidget’s energy to listen for what she may have to offer each of us.

The message I received from Gidget what short and concise:

Love is the key. That is it.

The more I’ve sat with this, the more I appreciate the message as we humans sure can make so much ado about so many things and then lose our way, getting caught up in our mental wheels that spin and spin. But when we come back to love, so much can fade away that we wonder what all the fuss was about!

Other’s in the class shared similar messages they received of love, along with a message that we are all worthy. My heart overflowed with love and gratitude for this little dog with a big spirit – as she was in life – and as she continues now in another realm.

I then pulled a card from my Animal Reflections Healing Oracle deck asking Gidget what she most wanted everyone in class to know as we continue to navigate these challenging times. The card pulled? Penguin and message of Love.

And I felt called to to not only share what transpired last night during our time with Gidget, here on my blog too, along with the message of penguin.

PENGUIN – LOVE

Two loving Penguins side by side, flippers touching in a display of affection and commitment, is symbolic of what we all strive for in a partnership. In fact, many of us view life as complete when we have that special someone to walk beside us through the ups and downs.

There is also the devoted relationship to all aspects of yourself. Penguin reminds you to return to this love of self which is so vital to your growth. Receiving this card means it may be time to gently look at what parts of yourself you struggle with and find hard to face.

Penguin lovingly nudges you to proceed with compassion and love as you come to acknowledge those parts. It’s also important to understand these aspects are there to protect you from being hurt again.

It can be easy to get distracted and fall into the trap of thinking someone else will fill the hurt spaces or fix your perceived inadequate parts, but don’t abandon yourself. Instead, learn to be kind and gentle with the precious being inside.

Remember while the female penguin gives birth, it’s the male that nurtures the egg until it hatches. In this way, Penguin encourages you it’s important to honor the female and female energies within so you can move through life in a balanced way.

When you feel secure in your inner home, the outer world will reflect this in a supportive way. The commitment and consistency of nurturing yourself will then bring friends and partners who are in alignment with the ever-evolving and authentic you.  ©Barbara Techel

Animal Wayshowers: The Lightworkers Ushering In 5D Consciousness – Features My Dog Gidget. Book Review.

I still recall when I finished reading Tammy’s first book, Soul Healing with Our Animal Companions. Reading that book, it felt like Tammy was inside my world and the healing journey I’d just walked with my dachshund, Gidget.  Gidget and I could have definitely been a poster human and dog duo for the book about two beings who healed their trauma together and went on to experience a profoundly life-changing and deeper connection because of it and which I’d end up chronicling in my own memoir.

Once you experience this type of profound and transformative shift within yourself and then witness the extraordinary positive change in your animal friend because of it, you want this for all humans and animals on this planet.

So when Tammy was writing this, her third book, Animal Wayshowers: The Lightworkers Ushering In 5D Consciousness I was deeply honored when she asked if the story of Gidget and me could be included.

Just into the first few pages of reading her new book, I felt welcome and familiar emotions stirring within my heart. Tears filled my eyes in recognition and understanding of this delicate dance that life is and how our animal friends give their all to help us shift into a more heart-opening way of being.

It takes just a shift in our perception to understand how energy works and how our animals are masters at reading the energy of those they love. All in an effort to help humans become more whole and at peace within themselves — this is what Tammy shares so eloquently with stories from other animal-human duos, personal reflections, and sound and simple advice of how we can all move into this more conscious awareness and do the inner work so that all beings can live together in harmony.

I believe at my core that animals are here on this planet walking with love beside us, wanting more than anything for us to heal. Tammy’s book really is one that everyone who shares a home with an animal should read. While the work isn’t always easy, it is deeply rewarding, and you will be left in awe of how so many have experienced this 5D reality because of the inner work they’ve done and the championing guides of the animal friends that cheered them on.

One thing, of many, I appreciate in Tammy’s new book is how she touched on one of the most difficult issues in our world – animal abuse. She tenderly shares how these animals have agreed to serve in this way to help evolve the deepening of compassion and empathy not only on an individual level but also as a collective too.

Embracing 5D consciousness through the eyes of our animal friends is brought into the light even more now because of this beautiful and beneficial book Tammy has written. I have no doubt it will help so many more beings who will then become part of this light that continues to expand and that will only continue to grow brighter and brighter as we all walk the earth with more peace within.

From Amazon and where you can pre-order a copy of Tammy’s book:

A guide to understand, support, and honor the soul missions of our animal companions

• Explains how animals that live alongside humans are lightworkers helping to raise the vibration of collective consciousness and aid in humanity’s ascension process

• Shares example stories of incredible animal Wayshowers from around the world whose actions and sacrifices on behalf of their human companions changed them all for the better

• Offers meditations, rituals, and transformational soul practices to embrace 5D frequencies, intuit heart intelligence, connect to the Higher Self, and heal the shadow

Animals are natural holders of 5D consciousness. The extraordinary animals who have chosen, at a soul level, to live alongside humans are lightworkers on the front lines of the animal kingdom’s mission to help people to heal, evolve, and attune to their divine purpose as well as assist in raising the vibration of the planet and collective consciousness to 5D.

As Tammy Billups reveals, once we become aware of the soul path of our animal companions, we are then able to connect with them soul-to-soul, not only supporting their soul missions but also finding the healing we need to let go of 3D reality and begin making the transition to 5D. Sharing example stories of incredible animal Wayshowers from around the world whose actions and sacrifices on behalf of their human companions changed them all for the better, she explores the many levels of service your beloved animal friends are providing you each and every day, including during disasters, storms, pandemics, and even from beyond the physical. She shows how they help shoulder the psychological and emotional burdens we are not yet capable of holding on our own and show us the way back to our own hearts. Presenting guidance to help animals succeed in their goal of raising consciousness, the author offers meditations, rituals, and exercises for applying the teachings of the animal stories shared, including transformational soul practices to embrace 5D frequencies, intuit heart intelligence, connect to the Higher Self, and heal the shadow.

Offering ways to embrace and emulate the soul teachings of our animal companions, Tammy Billups shows that, by honoring animals as courageous guides on our ascension to 5D consciousness, we too can become Wayshowers in our own right.
