Expanding Through The Help of Animals

I have always loved my animals and have always experienced their unconditional love—I just never knew how deep their love and connection was for us. Their desire for our lives to be full, healthy, happy and peaceful seems to be one of their top priorities.

From the first time I contacted Terri out of desperation and worry for our dying dog—Kirby—I found myself skeptical yet very open to what Terri had to offer. I didn't really know what to expect. What I walked away with was an unexpected expansion of myself that I never could have imagined nor requested.

Currently, our animal family consists of one new bounding puppy, three active cats and three quiet fish. Each time I have connected with one of our animals through Terri's amazing gift, I have walked away with a deeper more expanded view of life. And, as it turns out, I experience a deeper view into my animals, my family and also myself. It is an interesting experience to learn and see more about yourself through the eyes of an animal being who truly wants the best for you. All they ask in return is love, care and respect.

How have I changed? Having more understanding of my extended animal family I no longer ignore the messages they send to me. I no longer see their behavior as a problem that has no solution. As a matter of fact the majority of the time it is usually my behavior that I need to look at and not the animals' behaviors.

I have learned that I have a deep connection with animals that I had previously never taken the time to see. This has been more fulfilling than any of the "hobbies" that I thought I needed to be happy and content. By using Terri's animal communication services, and learning from her classes and mentoring, I am growing both personally and spiritually. Everyday I have an exciting experience of life around me and a deeper understanding of my connection with every living thing.

The Wisdom of Persia

Animal communication has helped me get to know my cat much better and also to understand how much of a spiritual guide and master she is for me. The communication consultations have deepened our relationship into a finely-tuned, active partnership where we watch out for one another as much as we do ourselves.

Persia has always been an extraordinary cat. She is vibrant, friendly, expressive, and interested in humans. Whilst she and I are always communicating with one another, I've found that the objective voice of a professional animal communicator gives Persia a chance to say some extra things that I did not understand on my own—whether it's a request for a new treat that she received while visiting the neighbors or wanting a bed set up for her in the closet. We also have a chance to discuss any news or changes to circumstances, such as preparing for our relocation to California.

Of course, Persia is usually already well aware of the topics I bring up in consultations. However, the official conversation with Terri gives us a chance to compare notes and decide together how we want to proceed. We don't save animal communication for problems or illness. Although if a situation were to arise, how nice that we already have the working relationship.

What we enjoy about working with Terri is that we can access an extraordinary range of subjects. Persia is interested in my personal and spiritual growth and happy to discuss anything and everything. Persia comments on my work and has useful advice and suggestions for me. She has even tossed out pieces of information that would later be presented as an important teaching by one of my professional mentors. She has also proven to be incredibly accurate about people, events, and dynamics of relationships.

We are now so tuned in to the subtleties of one another that our own daily communication has become incredibly refined. I can see her making decisions about things and often coming up with humorous and clever solutions to express her needs and let me know how she's doing. We are both happy that Terri has been such an integral part of it all.

The Full Circle of Life with Animals

It wasn't until I got my dog, Capeta, six years ago that I began to realize that it was possible for humans and animals to communicate on a deep level. I had always had pets growing up. Our family had dogs and cats, but we also had a macaw, a deer, and a capuchin monkey. We lived in Brazil where it was commonplace to keep "exotic" animals in the yard. So I always loved being around animals, but I never thought about them as anything more than delightful creatures who were good company and occasionally were very funny (the monkey especially).

When the timing was good for an animal companion, I decided to get a new puppy to keep my new husband's older dog company. I had no idea that my life was going to change with that simple decision. We found my dog through an ad for free puppies, posted on the wall of a little general store in a mountain town.

Through the years with my special dog companion, I found that many times I knew exactly what Capeta needed or was thinking, without understanding how that was possible. And she was extremely keyed into my state of mind. She was protective of me when I was under stress, and sad if I was down in the dumps.

When we met Terri two years ago, I began to understand how much potential there really is for humans and animals to communicate. My husband had just had hip surgery and was in for a lengthy recuperation. We called Terri to help us explain to our two dogs and our cat what was happening. We especially wanted Mato, my husband's dog, to know that his human was going to be ok. They had been together for many years before Capeta and I joined the two of them.

I was amazed at how accurately Terri saw each of the three animals. They each had a particular perspective on what had happened to my husband, and how they felt about it. I also learned that they each had a sense of humor—something that hadn't really occurred to me.

Soon after that, I took my stepdaughter, Alexa, to one of Terri's workshops for children on animal communication. During one exercise, Alexa tuned in to Mato's state of mind, even though he was at home. When we returned home, he greeted us with a look in his eyes that made it clear he and Alexa had connected over the distance. A little while later, as she was stroking his fur, she began to run her fingers through his thick undercoat in an area in which she typically didn't pet him. She said later she had just felt that he was urging her to touch him there. She found an infected spot, which was discovered because Alexa was listening to Mato as he guided her.

In the last few months, we have especially appreciated Terri's gifts. We knew Mato was getting ready to leave this world, and we didn't know how much help he felt he needed. We also didn't want him to suffer with pain. Terri was able to help us understand what Mato wanted us to do. He wanted to be able to die when he chose to, but he also told us what signs to look for if he felt he needed help to leave. He was very weak, incontinent and often confused towards the end, but he always wagged his tail when we walked in the room, and always wanted that extra cookie. He died quickly and peacefully one night, after a day in which he had eaten normally, gone for a slow walk, and played with his dog friend, Oberon. We were so grateful that he was able to die on his own bed, in our bedroom, with both of his humans and Capeta and our cat, Preta, nearby.

As the momentum of life continues forward, we recently welcomed a new puppy into our family. Through Terri's assistance, we have enjoyed learning about Lua Cheia. Although she was only about six months old when we got her, we were her fourth family. She is a wonderful dog, and we feel that she was meant to be with us. Terri helped her understand that she would be staying with us and that she didn't need to feel anxious about what was going to happen next. She also gave us some insight into Lua's personality and past, which has helped us work with her in such a way as to honor her way of being in this life.

Learning from our animals has taught me to value all those little moments of intuition that we experience in our lives, when we feel like someone just whispered something in our ear. That someone just could be one of your sweet animals helping you live a better life in this world.
