Heart Centered Living

Blogging with Nedda Wittels

 

Learning to live from your Heart Center is a process, not something that you can do completely in one day or one week.  Still, there is no time like the present to begin.

In our talk, Echo, Violet, Sakhara, and I focused on Forgiveness, Gratitude, Non-Judgment and Divine Love.   There are at least 12 heart centered qualities to explore.  Here is a list I was guided to create:

1. Love without conditions
2. Compassion
3. Non-Judgment
4. Courage
5. Empathy
6. Generosity
7. Forgiveness
8. Gratitude
9. Joy
10. Enthusiasm
11. Contentment/Peace
12. Abundance

 There may be more.  I am constantly learning about this topic.

For example, where does Kindness fit in?  What about Gentleness?  Are these Heart Centered Qualities, or are they facets of some of the other qualities, such as Compassion?

Since we are all learning together, I welcome your questions and comments.  Thank you.

As we further explore and learn with the animals, they have many thoughts and words of wisdom to share. We can look to them for guidance and inspiration.

The animals have asked us to share here in this forum:

What is it about animals that inspires you?
What is it about animals that helps to heal you?
How can animals support further exploration and adventure in your life?

As I reflect upon these questions myself, I know that animals help to bring me a sense of calmness, peace, inner knowing and trust, plus gratitude. Their ability to live in the moment and enjoy life is a continual reminder when things seem to become a challenge, and positive energy and momentum is needed to move past what may be my own blocks and hesitancies.

Blinky, one of my two feline companions, is brave and solid. I find her to be a source of strength and groundedness in looking forward to tomorrow. She encourages me to enjoy the things in life that I have not yet experienced, and to “get it done”. Augie, my male feline companion, is soft and gentle in his approach and style. Yet he is clear about his boundaries, and what it is he will, and will not do. He knows how to live life on his own terms, and enjoy every minute. The balance that the two of them provide for me and my family is precious and priceless. Their unconditional love is an example for me every day in patience, understanding, and compassion.

Thank you for your own words of sharing, reflection, and inspiration on this path of connecting with and honoring the insights from the animals.

Pawsitively,
Carol

Exploring Your Soul’s Divine Mission Through Your Animal Companions

Blogging with Lynn McKenzie

 

Life Changing Guidance from a Sweet Bunny Friend

I have mentioned many times that I feel our animal companions come to us as spiritual guides and even continue to guide us from the other side once they have crossed over. During the last number of years my coaching and consulting practice has evolved toward helping people connect with, and learn from, this divine guidance offered by their animal companions. Clients are able to utilize it to move closer to their ‘divine blueprint’ or highest expression of their soul’s purpose. Many have taken the information that comes through from their animal companions, and made major changes and decisions in their life, even business decisions, and this is very exciting for me!

A wonderful example of this is my client Lisa in La Jolla California who received and acted upon guidance from her bunny Lulu Belle which led to a life altering experience for her, that involved following her hearts desire, changing careers, and hence creating a whole new lifestyle for herself. Here’s the short version of the story: Lisa had been looking to get a bunny for some time, but didn’t have that special feeling that she knew was so important, with many of the bunnies that she looked at. That was until she connected with the sweet bunny soul who came to be known as Lulu Belle. Lisa shares ‘the moment I held her, I KNEW she was mine’. Little did she know at that time, that her life would change beyond measure as a result of this partnership.

During the course of Lulu Belle’s short life, Lisa was guided by her to leave her career in real estate and follow her true bliss, to create an online fashion boutique. Fashion has always been a passion for Lisa and something that she has a genuine talent for. Now when she wakes up in the morning she doesn’t have to dread doing a career that doesn’t make her heart sing, but instead does something she loves with the full support of her rabbit friend, in spirit form, who is now offering her guidance from the other side. Lisa even went as far as opening up a brick and mortar version of her boutique in La Jolla and lives happily ever after.

 

Animal Communication:  a Path to Mastery of the Soul

Many of my students have heard me say that communicating with animals, and all of life, is a path to mastery of the soul. Perhaps you’re wondering what I mean by this. What I do mean is that fluffy little puppy, or large draft horse friend, may very well be your own personal ‘guru’ or ‘master’, and by learning to communicate with her, you will not only gain access to her wonderful teachings and guidance but you will also receive information to advance your own soul along it’s unique spiritual journey. This opening allows for the receiving of a myriad of riches almost too vast to comprehend.

“You mean to tell me that my puppy is a guru?” said a surprised client to me. “It’s hard to believe, I know” I replied. Maybe it’s a stretch for you too, but in time, most of us come to see that our animals, even those on the other side, have great reason for being with us, and huge life lessons to impart. I truly feel that they come to us as teachers and guides to help us advance along our personal spiritual paths in unimaginable ways.

Often, it is in retrospect when we look back on the parts of our lives shared with our animal companions that we realize that they have choreographed many of our life steps in ways that are not only good for our souls but even our soul’s evolution. They help us to emotionally heal our areas of pain, open our hearts, guide us with career decisions and transitions, and even help us to get into (and out of) important relationships with significant others. Who would have dreamt that our animal companions could impact our lives so greatly!
