Sometimes mysterious behavior is the result of Soul Loss in an animal. A part of their soul has been separated from them, perhaps due to trauma, complex grief, or extreme reaction to the loss of a human or animal companion. Judy Ramsey is a Shamanic Teacher and Practitioner and professional animal communicator. She helps people and their animals with a Shamanic Journey to help animals who have lost a piece of their soul. Soul loss often results in extreme behaviors, both passive and aggressive, and the inability to have a balanced and happy life. The good news is that it is possible to help an animal get reconnected with their soul, which leads to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual rebalance. Judy tells stories of animals who were suffering physical and emotional pain and had pieces of their soul departed. After the journey to retrieve the missing parts of their souls, they regained their sense of equilibrium and joy in life.

After being a nurse for thirty years, Karen Thomas followed her childhood dream of creating a sanctuary for dogs with terminal illness. Her goal was to create “the best last days of their lives.” And, since she was an energy healer, and animal communicator, she was able to ask the dog, “What do you want to do today?” Their answers always surprised her and will inspire you. One dog asked for a ride in a golf cart, through the neighborhood, meeting friends and getting a pupsickle. Giving this dog the best day of his life was transformative for her and for the dog.

Karen created her non-profit, Payton’s Promise, named after the first dog she took into her sanctuary. Since then, she has healed many dogs by helping them to way outlive their prognosis. For other dogs, whose time had come, she helped them to have the most peaceful transition possible, bringing dignity and sacredness to the process of dying. This is a serious subject, but the stories will bring you joy and fill your heart with the hope of a transformation in how we manage and relate to our beloved canine’s last days, weeks, and longer.

We all have the ability to give healing touch to our animals. Dr. Edward Bassingwaighte, an Australian veterinarian who is both trained in traditional medicine and holistic veterinary medicine explains his method of Whole Energy Body Balance, which he teaches in person and online. His unique perspectives on “Animal’s Invisible Pain” shed light on many mysterious health issues and even behavioral issues that haven’t responded to training.

For example, Benny, one big Staffordshire dog he worked with who had severe separation anxiety issues where he destroyed the house, was treated for pain, and four weeks later this behavior disappeared. In this episode we also explore the process of animals and people preparing for transition. He explains how we can release guilt once we understand the “perfect time.” His wisdom on the process of grieving and healing will help many to understand how to prepare to let an animal go and even in time to become ready to love another animal again.

Using the power of the sound of the human heartbeat combined with lullabies has a remarkable effect on dogs! Terry Woodford, a hit record producer, who worked with the Supremes and all the top bands, created lullabies with human heartbeats. These recordings were tested in neonatal baby cardiac units, and the music restored normal heartbeat in fifteen seconds. Parents with premature babies discovered not only did it reduce crying, but it calmed their dogs also. Terry’s Canine Lullabies are now played in over 4,000 animal shelters and calms whole rows of dogs down in less than two minutes. Calm dogs experience better outcomes in shelters including less kennel cough, less digestive upsets, and more rapid adoptions. These Canine Lullabies relax dogs, children and those will Alzheimer’s.

When we have dogs inside our homes, we give them so much love and care. But we also take something important away from them – the feeling of autonomy, the ability to make decisions that impact their life. We control what they eat, what they do and when they do it. This has a price in their quality of life and can lead to boredom and behaviors we don’t appreciate. Bryndan Golya, CDBC, is a certified dog behavior consultant, through IAABC. He is the owner of OC Canine Coaching. His programs focus on solutions to behavior issues using reward-based methodology. He explains how paying attention to your dog’s non-verbal signals and body language can help you to be in sync with each other and make household life with dogs so much more rewarding and filled with joy.

Energy Healing can reach places that haven’t responded to traditional medical methods. Carol Komitor is the creator of Healing Touch for Animals, a systematic method to reverse illness and trauma. Since 1996 she and her team have worked with over 15,000 people and their pets. This method is safe, gentle and works with the body’s natural healing wisdom. Carol reveals how working with trauma means repairing the leaks in the energy field that keep both people and animals in the “fight-flight-or freeze” state. Repairing the energy field allows the body to heal more rapidly, because the person or animal is not losing their vital protection and thus they can heal much faster. Carol also talks about how to help animals who are in the process of transitioning.
