Download or read book Pets Have Feelings Too written by Dr. Monica Diedrich and published by Two Paws Up Press. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about listening to pets . . . . . . and talking to pets . . . . . . about how to help pets heal . . . . . . and about how they help us to heal. It’s about my Life Assignment . . . . . . and possibly about yours. It’s about the Universal Truths of Spirit, Life, and Love. Whether a person believes in God, a Supreme Being, or the Big Bang, there is always a philosophical expression we live by. Regardless of your philosophy, religious faith, or creed, each of you should bring to this book your own favorite words to express these Universal Truths that help convey your idea of God. As I wrote these chapters, I used expressions for God, Spirit, Life, and Love with which I’m most familiar, those that touch my heart. My hope is that the expressions I’ve used will touch your heart, also, or that you’ll be able to freely adjust them in your own mind to those that are your chosen favorites. Regardless of the specific terms I may have used in order to keep the presentation simple, my desire is that each of you will find your own sense of spirituality in this book. It matters little to our animal friends what our religious or philosophical preferences are. Their only purpose in life is to give us Unconditional Love and teach us how to Love Unconditionally. Love is their religion, their philosophy. And through the deep Love you and your pet share, I know you’ll be able to joyfully speak to each other’s hearts! On a very practical note, for ease of expression, there are a few places in this book where I may have opted not to follow one of the regular rules of grammar. I may have mixed a singular noun with plural pronouns, or vice versa, knowing full well that I’m taking the liberty of not matching singular with singular or plural with plural. I do so with apologies to editors, teachers, and anyone who loves exactness of expression. Also for ease of both writing and reading in a number of examples, I’ve occasionally referred to a pet only as “he” or only as “she.” However, in your own mind as you read, please feel free to use the pronoun that best represents your own beloved pet. ~ Dr. Monica Anaheim, CA

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Download or read book For Pet s Sake Do Something Book Three written by Dr. Monica Diedrich and published by Two Paws Up Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can I do to make my pet more comfortable when he or she has to cope with pain, illness, or a chronic condition?” “How can I improve my pet’s overall health?” I can’t begin to tell you how many people have asked me these two questions during individual consultations and workshops. At times, their requests for information have compelled me to search for more effective answers than I was able to provide at the moment. For that reason, I’m very grateful to my clients and students since they’ve often piqued my curiosity to learn much more about topics I might never have researched any further on my own. Because of their queries, while I was writing my second book, Pets Have Feelings, Too!, ideas were already swirling around in my mind for a third book—a “how to” book that would help as many pet parents as possible by answering those two questions, and more. My dream was to compile information, all in a single book, about as wide a variety of healing modalities as I possibly could. However, the single book quickly grew so large it soon developed into a series of three books. They’re all published under the umbrella title For Pet’s Sake, Do Something! and they’re each about how you can help your pets heal and enjoy optimum health every day. I first discovered the importance of “doing something” myself when one of my own dogs seemed to be giving up on life. At the tender age of two, my Shih Tzu, Chop Chop, was in severe pain because of hip dysplasia and a pinched nerve. He spent hours lying with his eyes fixed on the horizon as if his life had no more meaning for him. I felt I’d most likely have to make a decision soon to give him the final respite he was looking for. Meanwhile, I was both desperate and discouraged because there didn’t seem to be anything more I could do to help him. He’d already been seen by two different veterinarians and each one had given him only a bleak prognosis. Not only that, but medications were no longer able to provide the hoped for relief. It seemed he was very close to death, and the next day, I would probably have to make a final decision for him. That night, all I could do was to lie beside him on the floor, crying buckets of tears, but at least I was keeping him company and comforting him as best I could. I’d known, ever since I was eight years old, about the special intuitive gift I had, but at that moment, my gift for being able to talk with animals was the farthest thing from my mind. I was unable to think creatively or sense anything intuitively at all. What happened next, though, as I lay on the floor beside my precious pet, feeling utterly miserable and totally helpless, would be one of the greatest lessons I would ever learn. As clear as day, I heard Chop Chop say to me, “You call yourself a healer . . . so do something!” At first, I had no idea what I could do to bring him any other relief. In fact, his words played over and over in my mind for awhile before their meaning even became clear to me. Finally, with a flash of insight, I realized there was something more I could do. I’d been using the technique of Cosmic Healing Energy to help people for some time, but I’d never before thought about using it to help pets. However, now that Chop Chop was prompting me to be an active participant instead of a helpless bystander, I set aside my sense of desperation and immediately began sending him healing light energy. I not only sent him healing light myself, but I also asked the angels, saints, sages, and healers of all space, times, and dimensions to join me, as well as guide and help me be an effective transmitter of Spirit’s ever present healing light and love. Even when I consciously thought I was finished with the treatment, my hands intuitively kept moving as if they knew exactly where to touch, press, and pull. When the flow of healing energy stopped, I thanked everyone for their help and was filled with gratitude and reverence. When I went to bed that night, it was with the confidence of knowing I’d now been able to “Do something” positive for Chop Chop’s highest good, regardless of what the outcome might be. What happened the next morning was nothing short of miraculous. He stood up on all four legs and shook his mane! He hadn’t been able to do either of those things for quite some time because his hind quarters had been paralyzed. Within a week of receiving regular healing treatments, he was completely back to being his normal self! Most of you won’t ever be faced with quite such an extraordinary situation, and it’s important to realize that not every spiritual healing treatment brings about a physical cure as this one did, but you will have many opportunities in everyday life when your pets need healing help in a variety of other ways, too. That’s why it’s been so important to me to write this series of books—to empower you to be an active participant instead of a helpless bystander. By implementing some of the healing techniques I’ve shared with you, you may be able to help your pet maintain optimum health, manage more comfortably through chronic illness or pain, or even recover from a serious illness or injury. This third book of the series is designed to provide you with guidelines for using alternative and complementary methods of healing. Many of them have a long and successful history of use, and many, that at first may seem to be unconventional, are actually scientifically supported. Some you’ll be able to use right away after reading about them, while others will require study or further research on your part in order to use them correctly. You’ll also learn about various healing modalities a professional can provide for your pet. The topics we’ll cover in this third book of the series include: • Flower Essences for restoring spiritual balance to help relieve both physical and emotional symptoms • Essential Oils that quickly and effectively transport oxygen and nutrients into every cell of the body for physical and emotional healing • Homeopathy—a healing system based on the principle that like heals like • Magnetic Therapy, Reflexology, and Massage for pain relief, relaxation, reducing anxiety, and promoting overall wellbeing • Sound, in its many different healing forms, which serves as a bridge between body, mind, and spirit • Color that can influence how a pet feels and behaves • Crystals as an effective means for focusing healing energy • Incense fragrances for healing emotional and behavioral imbalances • Animal Communication and the importance of healing at every level—spiritual, mental, and emotional—to bring about lasting physical healing • Acupuncture and Acupressure to eliminate blockages in the body’s energy system • Chiropractic to correct misalignments in a pet’s body • Hydrotherapy to promote healing in a weightless environment Another chapter you may find helpful shows you how to pre-test remedies before you buy or use them. Using the techniques I’ve described may help you discover ahead of time whether or not a certain modality is the right one to use for your pet, or this type of pre-testing may save you from spending money on something that wouldn’t be beneficial for your pet. It’s also important to know how pets age, what emergency kit supplies to have on hand and first aid procedures to use, as well as how to provide for your pets when you’re no longer there, so I’ve included chapters about these topics also. If you’re able to ease your pet’s pain, or provide a better quality of life by implementing any of the healing techniques described in this book, or in any of the books of this series, the time and money you’ve spent will be well worth it. My teacher and beloved animal friend, Chop Chop, finally did pass on at almost fourteen years of age, but what he asked me to do, when he was only two years old, touched not only our own lives, but also the lives of many other pets and pet parents as well. Though he and I were both on the verge of giving up many years ago, he taught me that I didn’t have to be a helpless bystander and that I could “Do something!” I hope you’ll “Do something” for your precious pets, too! Remember, we can’t always do great things in life, but we can do small things with great love. This is exactly the lesson our animal friends teach us—whatever you do, do it with unconditional love. * * * You can learn more about the contents of each book in the series by turning to the Epilogue at the end of this book. You can read Chop Chop’s entire story in Chapter 1 of my first book, What Animals Tell Me. You can also learn how to use Cosmic Healing yourself in Chapter 6 of Book 1 of the series For Pet’s Sake, Do Something! How to Communicate With Your Pets and Help Them Heal. Sometimes, my clients will ask if I still use Cosmic Healing to help people as well as pets. Many years ago, I did, but there are so many animals who need my help today that I now devote all of my time to working exclusively with them. Dr. Monica Diedrich

Download or read book For Pet s Sake Do Something Book One written by Dr. Monica Diedrich and published by Two Paws Up Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Where can pet parents go to find a compilation of information that will help them support their pets’ various physical, emotional and spiritual needs?” A frequently asked question in my practice—Dr. Monica There usually comes a time toward the end of our pets’ lives when we need to let go and let nature take its course. But in the face of most of the distresses and health challenges our pets encounter in daily living, we don’t need to stand by crying helplessly and feeling sad. We can—Do Something! Yet, where can pet parents go to find a compilation of information, which will help them support their pets’ various physical, emotional and spiritual needs? As I finished writing my second book, Pets Have Feelings Too!, it was this very question that impelled me to begin yet another book—one that would be a “how to” guide for everyone who wants to do everything they can to help their pets, especially when their pets are in distress or experiencing health challenges of any kind. It all began with my desire to respond to the question, asked by so many of my clients and students over the years, “How can I talk with my pets?” But there were so many other topics which sprang to mind as I continued to write that before I knew it, I had enough material for a series of three “how to” books: • How To Communicate With Your Pets and Help Them Heal; • How To Heal Your Pets Using Nutrition, Herbs and Supplements; and • How To Heal Your Pets Using Alternative Therapies This, the first book in the series, begins by teaching you how to communicate with your pets about everyday things, as well as their health challenges. But discovering what your pets want to tell you is only the beginning. Once you’re truly aware of their needs, you must then Do Something! That “something” usually involves restoring balance and harmony in their lives. So, the second part of the first book shows you how to use spiritual and energetic healing methods as one way to bring about that balance and harmony. There are also a series of guided meditations to enable you to help your pet cope with a variety of life situations. The second book of the series covers the importance of nutrition, herbs and supplements, plus foods to avoid, and recipes for pets with special needs. The third book presents practical healing modalities including homeopathy, flower essences, incense, essential oils, crystals, color, sound, massage, magnets, hydrotherapy, acupressure, acupuncture and chiropractic, plus some other helpful guidance. As I was writing all three books, I knew many readers would wonder what qualifies me to teach people how to communicate with and heal their animals. What experiences and training did I have that prepared me not only to do this, but also to teach others to do the same? To answer this question, I’d like to share a few of the highlights of my life with you. I’ve known that I can understand what animals are saying ever since I was eight years old. However, when I was young, other children used to call me weird or crazy, and that was very painful. I didn’t want to be different, so I tried hard to push aside the images animals were sending me and make believe I wasn’t receiving them. But by my late teens, I began to realize that what I was experiencing was a gift—one that was becoming virtually impossible to ignore. So I nurtured this gift, and soon I grew more confident about using my abilities. I began communicating with many different species of pets and was delighted to be able to help them and their humans better understand each other. In time, I realized that I’d taken the first step on the path of what I considered to be my Life Assignment. But I’d also been searching for answers to many spiritual questions for the better part of my life. The answers to those questions came one at a time over several years. I read a lot of books and attended many classes. One of those classes, offered by a Vietnamese gentleman, Master Tam Nguyen, would change the direction of the rest of my life and teach me how to use my intuitive gift more fully. From him, I learned that healing is about restoring balance and harmony, that healing is available to everyone, and that we can bring about healing for ourselves and for others. During the last week of Master Tam’s class, he was able to help me experience the Life Force Energy that always surrounds every living being. This loving, healing Light and Energy surrounded me in a way I’d never felt it before. When the class exercise was over, I was crying. For the first time in my life, I’d been able to feel this energy. It came charged with such Love that I felt God had just embraced me. Master Tam approached me after class and encouraged me to continue to learn to let this loving, healing Energy flow through me for the benefit of others. He also invited me to come to his Center. I think I went the first time because I was curious, but I kept going back because I was learning so much about helping others to heal, not only spiritually, but also physically. I was drawn to return again and again. Observing many healing experiences filled me with the desire to further deepen my knowledge and understanding of metaphysics, and it was this study that would gently lead me along the path of unconditional love. And what better way to express unconditional Love for someone than by bringing balance and harmony into their lives through healing. Through Master Tam’s teachings, I’d already been introduced to the technique of Cosmic Healing, which helps every living being function, as it should in perfect harmony with the Universe. Cosmic Healing doesn’t use any physical modalities like touch or medicine. Instead, it’s done spiritually, from the heart, and with love. This type of healing requires direct communion with the Source of All Life, God, Spirit, Life Force, Supreme Being, All That Is. In the process of learning to tune in to this loving, healing Energy, the skeptic in me reacted by asking, “If healing energy always surrounds everyone all the time, why isn’t everyone accessing it more often? And why do we see so much sickness around us? What, if anything, can we do to bring healing to others, or to help people find healing for themselves?” With patience and further experience, I began to understand that often, people in need of healing haven’t learned to ask for help, or they feel they don’t deserve it. Most of them know they want to be healed but they don’t ask to be healed. They may not even know how to ask. So what should we do to find effective healing? First, we need to believe that healing is possible, that it does take place, and that we can heal ourselves. We also need to have confidence that the healing energy of The Universe can flow through us, or flow to us through others. Above all, the person needing healing, and the person helping, must take time to be in communion, or attunement, with the one true Source of All Life. Then we must stop looking at the problem itself and start focusing on our connectedness to, and our oneness with, the Source of our Being, the Source of our balance and harmony. When we once again fully remember our oneness with Spirit, we’re then able to manifest abundant good health for ourselves and for others. For a number of years, I helped many people heal, and I communicated with many pets about everyday things, but I’d never thought about combining my gift for healing with my gift for communicating with animals. It was one of my own precious Shih- Tzus who would show me the way. Chop Chop was only two years old when, one day, he was lying beside me with his eyes fixed somewhere on the horizon. He was giving up, and death seemed to be looming not many hours away from him. Unable to think clearly, all I could do was to keep him company, crying because there didn’t seem to be anything else I could do to help him. Two different veterinarians had already closely examined him. Medications were no longer effective, and the prognosis was very bleak. I lay on blankets on the floor next to him to give him what comfort I could. But as I reclined there beside him on the floor, feeling very sad and miserable, he sent me a telepathic message just as clear as day: “You call yourself a healer. You’ve helped a lot of people. So Do Something!” He now looked me straight in the eye as he prompted me to be an active participant, not just a sorrowful bystander. What he said to me kept playing over and over again in my mind until I finally got it. His plea was very simple, yet I hadn’t thought to use spiritual healing for him, or for other animals for that matter. I’d only used it to help people. But that was about to change. He responded, literally overnight, to the first healing treatment I gave him, and within a week of continued treatments, he was completely back to being his normal happy self. You can read the full account of his story in Chapter 1 of my first book, What Your Animals Tell Me. Thanks to the lesson Chop Chop taught me, I knew, then, that it was time to combine my gift for healing spiritually with my gift for communicating with animals. There were many other intuitives available to help heal people, so from then on, I resolved to dedicate my life exclusively to helping only animals. My work now includes not only private consultations for pets, but also presenting classes, workshops and lectures, as well as doing extensive research, and writing books to share with others all that I’ve learned about how we can make life better for our beloved pets. During the early part of my experience with Chop Chop, I could only cry, feel sorry for myself and for him, and wait for the inevitable. I felt completely inadequate, totally devoid of ideas, and utterly helpless. Later on, it occurred to me that many pet parents often feel just as I did whenever they’re faced with their pets’ illnesses. But you don’t need to go through those same feelings because there are so many things you can do, either to help your pets heal, or at least go through the process of their illness or pain with less discomfort. To help you, I’ve described as many healing modalities as possible in the three books of this series, For Pet’s Sake, Do Something! If you’re able to ease your pet’s pain, or provide quality of life for another day, week, month or even longer by implementing any of the healing techniques described in these books, your time and money spent on them will have been well worth it. My teacher and beloved animal friend, Chop Chop, taught me that I didn’t have to be a bystander. Thanks to him, when I was on the verge of giving up, I discovered instead that I could Do Something! I hope you’ll Do Something too. Healing can be brought about in many ways, not only for your pets, but also for yourself. When you’re able to be an active participant in your pet’s care, or bring peace and comfort to your pet because you’ve been able to Do Something, your spirit will also be healed.

Understanding the importance of your pet's feelings, according the Dr. McMillan, is the key to unlocking the animal mind. Dr. McMillan shows readers: · What the Pet Pleasure Principle is and why your pet wants you to always use it as your main guide in caring for him or her · Why feelings are the only things that your pet cares about · How profound an influence the mind has on every aspect of an animal's health · The importance of the Comfort Zone and how to help your pet reach it and stay in it · Why boredom can be devastating to your pet's emotional health and how to relieve it · What "stress" really is and how to give your pet the tools to deal with it in his or her life · Why the best veterinary medical care is based on your pet's feelings · Why a Safe Haven is the single most important factor for your pet's emotional well-being · How to determine your pet's quality of life and ways to maximize it For the 152 million people in the United States living with pets, Dr. McMillan explains why understanding your pet's feelings is essential for making every decision affecting his or her life, such as upbringing, conflicts with other animals, health care, and even the heartbreaking choice of euthanasia. He shows how feelings-based care offers your pet the greatest 20opportunity to enjoy the happiest, healthiest, and most emotionally fulfilled life possible.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book excerpt: An exploration of animal spirituality and the ability of animals to communicate with humans even in the afterlife • 2019 Coalition of Visionary Resources Gold Award and Industry Choice and Peoples Choice Award • Chronicles the author’s profound relationship with her dog, Brio, his ability to read her mind and emotions, and the messages she received from him after his death • Shares the author’s research with animal communicators, psychics, and scientists specializing in animal intelligence such as Rupert Sheldrake • Explores animals’ thoughts and feelings, interspecies communication and telepathy, animal souls and the afterlife, and animal reincarnation • Paper with French flaps Looking for companionship after a near-fatal car crash, Elena Mannes, an award-winning television journalist and producer, decided to get her first dog. But what she found with her dog Brio shook the foundations of her physical and spiritual worlds, sending her on a quest to discover the nature of his spiritual origins and to contemplate and seek out the possibility of interspecies communication--even after death. Soon after bringing her puppy home, Mannes realized that the master-companion relationship would not be possible with Brio, who quickly showed that he had a mind--and a spirit--of his own. A healer Mannes visited immediately focused on Brio, exclaiming that he was an old soul. Mannes’s growing curiosity about the intelligence, emotions, and consciousness of Brio and other dogs led her to contact an animal psychic in California who described, with amazing accuracy, Brio’s favorite walks and the author’s apartment from the dog’s point of view. Motivated by her experience, Mannes produced a filmed segment with Diane Sawyer featuring the same psychic, who described Sawyer’s country house and her dog’s favorite spots in the yard. Mannes’s skeptical journalist background compelled her to investigate further. She delved into the world of animal communicators, psychics, and scientists studying animal intelligence, including Rupert Sheldrake, to find answers to her multiplying questions: Do animals have thoughts and feelings? Consciousness? Souls? Is interspecies communication possible? Can animals reincarnate? Spanning the entire life and afterlife of Brio, including his last days and his messages to the author after he passed on, this book also explores Mannes’ investigations into the spiritual life of animals, offering a new understanding of the unbreakable bond between humans and animals. Mannes invites readers to move beyond the owner-pet relationship and shows us how to see animals as thinking, feeling, spiritual beings whose connections with us extend far beyond life and death.

Download or read book Inside of a Dog written by Alexandra Horowitz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-02-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an unabashed dog lover, Alexandra Horowitz is naturally curious about what her dog thinks and what she knows. As a cognitive scientist she is intent on understanding the minds of animals who cannot say what they know or feel. This is a fresh look at the world of dogs -- from the dog's point of view. The book introduces the reader to the science of the dog -- their perceptual and cognitive Abilities -- and uses that introduction to draw a picture of what it might be like to bea dog. It answers questions no other dog book can -- such as: What is a dog's sense of time? Does she miss me? Want friends? Know when she's been bad? Horowitz's journey, and the insights she uncovered from studying her own dog, Pumpernickel, allowed her to understand her dog better, and appreciate her more through that understanding. The reader will be able to do the same with their own dog. This is not another dog training book. Instead, Inside of a Dogwill allow dog owners to look at their pets' behaviour in a different, and revealing light, enabling them to understand their dogs and enjoy their relationship even more.
