Animals - Personal Tales

If, like me, you love to curl up in a comfortable chair, get snug with your favourite blanket and read an intriguing & uplifting book I highly recommend a book I had the privilege to co-author.  It is called Animals - Personal Tales of Encounters with Spirit Animals and is part of a Common Sentience Book Series from Sacred Stories Publishing in the US.  

The Animals book features the wonderful Dr. Steven Farmer who is a world-renowned author, teacher, shamanic practitioner, psychotherapist, and Soul Healer. There are also short stories from authors across the globe, including myself, providing insight into various ways animals touch lives and how they share their wisdom.  I’ve been loving these short stories, not just because they are beautifully written but due to the practicality because if life becomes very busy or I need a quick 5 minutes out, it is so easy to pick up where I left off. 

I’m very proud of this book as each story demonstrates and teaches the impact animals have on us when we stop to pay attention, become quiet and listen to our inner wisdom.  And sometimes its the animals that stop us in our tracks that make us pay attention.  My story talks about when I attended a workshop back in 2018 at Remus Horse Sanctuary in Essex, UK.  I was learning Level 3 Shinpiden Stage of Reiki and Animal Reiki using the Let Animals Lead method®, developed by Kathleen Prasad.  My experience was so profound over those 3 days, I made friends with humans and animals to which I am ever grateful.  During the workshop my experiences meant so much to me I couldn’t put it into words at the time and I sometimes still feel like I haven’t done this any justice until now so I hope my story captures you.  To help explain, if you can think of your most magical place and what brings you so much joy, then you are close to how my connection with the animals felt for me, like pure magic.  

If you need a little inspiration and are curious how animals could help you, then this book is available through Amazon and other book stores across the planet.  Happy reading…
