 Today is when your evolution begins. Your goal is write out today's affirmation. Lisa is there on Skype. Hi there, Lisa. Hi. How are you? Pretty good. How are you? I'm very, very good. Thank you for being an evolved member and giving us the opportunity to work with you today. Lisa, how can I help you today? Well, you know, I really, I've been looking forward to reading from you for a long time. I knew it would happen. I do have to tell you that I'm an animal communicator and a psychic medium myself. So I was sitting here like holding space and I felt just a whoosh of energy. And I'm only assuming it came from you. I'm sitting here thinking, okay, I want to remember this feeling so that I can put it into my own reading. Well, that's very, very cool. Let me ask you a question. When you say you're an animal communicator, when people get a new pet, when somebody gets a new pet, whether it be a dog or cat, bird, whatever it is, what would you suggest they do with their pets to form a closer bond? There are several things, two things in particular. First is that I always recommend people to talk to their pets in their voice because I don't think people understand that animals understand more than we think they do. They may not understand every word we say of English or Spanish or French or whatever, but we speak words with intent and they understand intent. So they're very, very connected to our energy. So somebody that has a new animal, the best thing that they can do is just talk to them. I always say if you wouldn't say it in front of a child, don't say it in front of an animal. Don't criticize an animal in front of them. And the same thing is if you wouldn't walk out of the house, if you were living with somebody, you wouldn't just walk out of the house and not tell them where you were going and not when you're going to be back. So tell your animals, I'm going to be gone. I'm going to be gone for four hours. They understand that or I'll be back by dinnertime or something like that. I always add an hour just in case I'm late. But they understand. And the other thing is I have a little technique. I study Hawaiian shamanism and it's a little technique called piko piko, P-I-K-O. And what you can do is it's very simple. When you breathe in, you focus on the top of your head. When you breathe out, you focus on your belly. And if you lay with your animal and do that, I give this to my clients all the time. And it's really a bonding. Just to clarify, you're not laying on top of your clients and asking them to breathe in and out. I'm just curious. No. As you're laying next to your pet, you can just do that and they will feel it for you. You can actually do it for them too. I mean, energy flows where attention goes. So if you focus on the top of their head, if they're stressed out, you can focus on the top of their head and their belly. And that's a real calming exercise. But if you do it together, if you do it for you, they connect to your energy and they connect to your vibration. And it's just a wonderful bonding exercise. Now, can you just say that again, the part where you said energy flows where attention goes and kind of own that? Yeah, energy flows where attention goes. It's one of the principles of Huna, H-U-N-A, which is a Hawaiian philosophy. And basically, if you put your attention someplace, that's where all of your energy is going to go. And in the frame of what I was talking about in a very simple terms, in very simple terms, you don't have to, in this breathing exercise, you don't have to move, you don't have to try to move the energy around. You don't have to try to get into any big meditative state. If you just change the focus from your head to your belly button and with your breathing, all you have to do is do it a few times and you'll just notice that you relax more. It means center to center in Hawaiian. And what about animals that have crossed over? As an animal communicator, you have the ability to be able to connect with those energies who have left their physical vehicles here. How do you work with your clients? How do they come through to you? I connect to them directly and I connect to them in the same way. I use the same techniques I use in psychic mediumship where I raise my vibration, as opposed to just letting the information come in. I connect to them directly. And actually animals and spirit is one of my specialties and I absolutely love it because you don't have to go through all of the ego and all, you know, animals lives are so much smaller than people's lives. So they, you know, when you talk to an animal, I feel like I can get more into a linear, I hate to use that word, linear conversation, but more into a conversation. And if my clients are open to it, the messages that I am able to get from animals are, they're so amazing, they're so spiritual because we're not going through all of that ego and they don't have these big lives, you know, I mean, they've got their homes and once we get past the validation of their homes and their personalities or what I like to call feline alities or canine alities or whatever, I have gotten just some incredible, incredible, very spiritual messages that not only apply to specifically to those, you know, to their pet parents but apply to everybody and that I am able to use to help people in grief. Speaking of which, speaking of grief is my next question, you're going right there. What are three things that you would, you know, tell people to do if they've just lost their fur family member? Well, the first thing I always tell people is to understand that they are right there. I had one cat who showed me his mom was having a terrible time with his passing and he showed me himself unzipping his body and then just stepping out of his body is an ethereal mass next to his mom and he said, mom, I'm right here, I'm just not wearing my clothes anymore. And so I always tell them that you need to understand that they're right there but I also tell them that they, you know, rituals, we have rituals for reasons and I tell them that it's a good thing for them to have, you know, some sort of memorial, whatever it is, if they just light a candle and the really important part is if they have other animals, they need to understand that the other animals need to go through their grieving process as well. So if they have a memorial, if they want to sit and light a candle and talk about the pet who has passed, let the other animals be part of it so that they've gone through the process as well and not to get another animal too soon. Very cool. Lisa, I'm going to say thank you to you because you, you know, were selected to have a reading but in reality you apparently needed to be a guest contributor to Evolve today and I think it's really important because so many people ask me the question about pets and about the other side and I get them but I'm not an animal communicator. I'm an animal communicator the way everybody else watching this is an animal communicator. I get how it happens, I understand that but I think it's really, really important and I think that when you use the word you felt the whoosh happen before, it wasn't so much because I was going to read you, it was because you were going to work. So I want you to know that nothing happens by accident and I truly, truly, truly appreciate you doing this. So thank you very, very much. Can I ask a question? What's your website? It's pausetalk.net, P-A-W-S-T-A-L-K dot net. Thank you very, very much, Lisa. I hope that other Evolve members find comfort in the information and the last time I'm going to ask you to say it again, energy does what? Energy flows where attention goes. Thank you very, very much. Thank you, John. Appreciate it. If you enjoyed this, share it with your family and friends.
