Book excerpt: Our animals show us unconditional love in its purest form. They are our most loyal companions, constantly navigating our energy to support our needs. This is something Pamela Robins experienced on a profound level when she was faced with a relentless series of major life challenges, including the death of her mother, her own cancer diagnosis, a divorce, and letting go of her life as she knew it in order to find herself. Her animals were instrumental in getting her through it all. Recognizing how hard they were working to comfort and heal her, Pamela worried their their efforts could be depleting them of their own health and vitality. When she was strong again she wanted to return to them the extraordinary gifts they had given her. And so it was that the Animal MethodTM was born--a practice graciously given to Pamela by her beloved animal companions that is based on the idea of consciously recycling positive, healing energy between humans and animals. It involves mindfully observing and learning from your animal, taking cues from their natural state of being, and applying that wisdom to your own way of being. This method is beautifully described in Meditating with Animals. In it you'll also read inspiring animal stories and learn about the countless health and life benefits that result from having a deeper, more compassionate connection with an animal.
