Rowan Sanderson sits down with Dr. Isla Fishburn, who shares a treasure trove of wisdom on connecting and understanding our dogs by focusing our attention on our inner world.

Dr. Fishburn covers such topics as the importance of understanding our dogs as “whole ecosystems”, becoming aware of the energies we emit and absorb, and practical tips for forging a closer bond with our dogs.

The key takeaway is to not underestimate the power of our inner world. Our dogs can pick up on it vibrationally and emotionally, and act accordingly. Once we accept ourselves as “energy beings—beautiful vessels that carry our essence”, we then realize that even our thoughts and words carry energy that can impact the very DNA of lifeforms around us.
