What our pets can teach us (by Ted Andrews)

1. Past Life Connections.
Animals return, as humans do, to learn and to grow. Often they will incarnate with humans that they have been closely connected to in the past. Sometimes an animal that has served as a totem may return as a pet. Where the pet originated also often reflects locales of our past lives, the lessons of which are playing out currently in the present.

2. Behaviors we need to express.
When we notice a behavior of one of our pets it is something to pay attention to. They will often demonstrate behaviors that reflect our own or are ones we need to express more fully. When mine pressure me to play, it is often an indication I am working too much.

3. Skills in accomplishing tasks.
Pets have their own unique qualities and characteristics. They have skills that they can teach us. Cats know about everything that goes on in their environment and can teach us how to notice things as well. They remind us of skills we need to incorporate as a regular part of our life

4. How to bond and love more unconditionally.
Animals love unconditionally. Regardless of the day they have had, they greet us, run to meet us, meow and bark at us. Even if we are out of the home for an hour, when we return we are greeted as if it has been days.

5. How to communicate with animals more clearly.
As we learn to communicate with our pets, we are learning how to communicate with other animals as well. We learn to use and to read body language. We learn to project thoughts and exchange thoughts with our pets. We begin to read the subtleties, emotions and projections of our pets. This can be applied to wildlife as well.

6. How to recognize the presence of spirits.
Pets and animals of all kinds are often much more sensitive to the presence of spirits. They recognize subtle energies at play within their environment. Paying attention to them will help us to be more alert to the presence of spirits.

Your pet as a spirit detector

Animals are gifted with heightened senses. Homing pigeons always find their way back home. Horses sense electrical changes through their feet and are thus able to avoid lightning strikes when out in a field. Dogs and cats sense whether there is fear in humans around them.

All pets detect spirits much quicker than we do. Their instincts are more defined and praciced for sensing subtle changes in their environments. By paying attention to changes in their behavior and how they respond we can become more aware of spirits around the home as well.

How to know if your pet is detecting the presence of spirits?

1. Staring intensely at an area in which nothing is there.
This will not just be an idle daze on the pet's part. It will be a deliberate and focused stare at a specific spot. Often they seem to be looking directly over your shoulder.

2. Running through the house, chasing and barking at what isn't apparently there.
Our home is also our pet's home and all animals try to protect their territory instinctually. They guard it against intruders.

3. Growling, snarling and hissing at what isn't apparently there.

4. Avoidance of entering a room that is not usually avoided.
This can sometimes be accompanied by whining and submissive postures.

5. Staring at doorway, windows and corners of the rooms.
All intersections are places where there is a thinning of the veils between the physical and the spiritual. Most people who see spirits often do so in doorways, windows and corners. These 'Tween Places' are natural intersections. A doorway is neither in nor out; it is in between.

When we encounter these behaviors or any that seem to indicate the presence of something unusual by your pet, take a moment to sense for yourself. It doesn't mean that your house is now haunted or that you are being visited by evil spectres. Relax. Take a few deep breaths. Close your eyes. What do you see? Do you feel anything different? Is there a particular person that comes to mind? Often loved ones return to make their presence known, to let us know that they are still with us.
