Never could I have guessed all that my animal communication class would do for me-after just one week here, it is apparent that a new layer of soul has been revealed, and I can't say that necessarily feels good. I feel raw, exposed, vulnerable, and am not in control of my emotions-a place I would not consciously have chosen to go. Halfway through the week, I wanted to quit because it was so uncomfortable-a sure sign that I needed to continue. There have been many tears for me this week, revealing to me so many suppressed & unconscious memories and fears.
Animals are deep, emotional beings who have such profound lessons for us which are sometimes hard, if not impossible, for the human mind to fathom. They are beings of honesty, integrity, strength and courage, and most importantly, unconditional love. Rarely have I encountered a human who so possesses such qualities-certainly, we are here to learn these lessons in our lifetimes. Talking with so many animals this week, listening to them, truly hearing them and experiencing previously unknown feelings of unconditional love has been hard to take. It has shown me a tremendous amount about myself and the guards I put up around my Heart.
There is no b.s. with animals, and experiencing such truth with them has been profound and frightening. Most of my life, I have just not allowed myself to go here-it can be a very uncomfortable place. In order to hear and understand animals, I have to hear and understand myself. What a journey this has been! I recognize my discomfort as a sign for me to absolutely continue-it is the best thing I can do for myself. Uncomfortable as it may be right now, I look forward to sharing the rest of my life with these amazing beings on this new level.
