- 2:24SPEAKER_01: It's like even when you repeat it back to me, I'm just having this like expansion inside myself where I'm just like, it feels like I'm, You know, expanding out into the night sky with all the stars.
- 2:36SPEAKER_01: It just feels so nice.
- 2:39SPEAKER_03: Oh, that is beautiful.

- 2:48SPEAKER_03: I mean, just in your introduction alone, I'm going, oh, my goodness, I just love this.
- 2:52SPEAKER_03: I can just feel it.
- 2:53SPEAKER_03: It is just going to be a lot of fun.
- 2:58SPEAKER_01: Okay, bring in the pressure.
- 2:59SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
- 3:02SPEAKER_03: Well, tell us a little bit, the topic of the show today being the spiritual dimension of animal communication.
- 3:12SPEAKER_03: Can you fill our listeners in a little bit more on what the spiritual dimension means in animal communication?
- 3:23SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 3:24SPEAKER_01: So yeah, that's like totally one of my favorite topics.
- 3:28SPEAKER_01: So animal communication for me, for me, so when I grew up, You know, I like being around animals, of course, but I've never been taught to listen to them.
- 3:39SPEAKER_01: So, you know, the mainstream knowledge is they don't talk.
- 3:43SPEAKER_01: They don't have the same intellect as us.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: They're governed by instincts.
- 3:49SPEAKER_01: And so that's totally how I grew up.
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: And then, obviously, also they're dependent on us.
- 3:55SPEAKER_01: So we don't ask them questions.
- 3:57SPEAKER_01: You know, there is a feeling that when someone is dependent on you, they're somehow like a little bit less than you.
- 4:04SPEAKER_01: And so that's how I grew up with animals.
- 4:08SPEAKER_01: And then I studied veterinary medicine, became a veterinarian, worked with animals.
- 4:13SPEAKER_01: And then when I was living in South Africa, working in South Africa, I was introduced by Anna Breitenbach.
- 4:22SPEAKER_01: into animal communication and she worked, she helped me deal with some behavior cases in my practice so I saw how it worked and how efficient it was and so I started to be interested in it and took my first courses and then took a long course and it's the and out of a sudden, so the spiritual connection with it, it's like Penelope Smith, who's like a big, you know, pioneer of it, especially in the States and all over the world, she says that if you want to connect with animals on that level, you have to see them as spiritual beings and their own rights that are, and even just saying it again is making me tear up, you know.
- 5:08SPEAKER_01: It's like you have to see them as equal to us, as spiritual beings that are equal to us.
- 5:16SPEAKER_01: And then you can begin to communicate with, you know.
- 5:21SPEAKER_01: And so for me, that's like it just opened up my whole experience of the world.
- 5:27SPEAKER_01: You know, like because if there is that spiritual essence in animals that's the same as in me, then it's the same in trees.
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: It's the same in the world.
- 5:37SPEAKER_01: And so it's easier to practice seeing it.
- 5:40SPEAKER_01: in the natural world than it is practicing it in people because, you know, people push our buttons quite hard.
- 5:47SPEAKER_02: So,
- 5:49SPEAKER_01: yeah, so that's for me is like part of that.
- 5:54SPEAKER_01: You really got to, you know, you look at animals in a different way and that allows you to see your own spiritual essence like differently as well.
- 6:05UNKNOWN: Oh, wow.
- 6:06SPEAKER_03: It's almost like the animals are a mirror to us.
- 6:10SPEAKER_03: You said you see our own spiritual can go within ourselves by seeing the animals as an equal.
- 6:18SPEAKER_03: And I can relate so well because I have the horses and my dogs and I mean, they...
- 6:27SPEAKER_03: They're almost, I feel they're so majestic to me, all of them on, because they just offer so much, and they have taught me so much.
- 6:36SPEAKER_03: But you have to, I kind of feel, like you said, you have to treat them as equals, that they're not below you.
- 6:44SPEAKER_03: I feel they're right beside me in this universe.
- 6:47SPEAKER_03: We're all in the same, we're all under the same sky.
- 6:51SPEAKER_03: We all breathe the same air.
- 6:53UNKNOWN: Yeah.
- 6:53SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
- 6:55SPEAKER_01: And I just want to pick up something that you said, because it's like treating them the same as ourselves, but also not below us, but also not above us, because that is actually the same thing.
- 7:09SPEAKER_01: So it's not in a weird way.
- 7:12SPEAKER_01: It's actually the same if we're saying, oh, this person is so much better than us, as saying this person is so much worse than us.
- 7:19SPEAKER_01: It's kind of making them not...
- 7:22SPEAKER_01: not one with us.
- 7:24SPEAKER_01: It's making them separate.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: So just to notice that, because a lot of people fall into that, you know, like, oh no, I can't deal with how animals are treated.
- 7:34SPEAKER_01: They're actually so much the better beings than us.
- 7:36SPEAKER_01: And I think that's a trap also that we fall into.
- 7:40SPEAKER_03: Right, right.
- 7:42SPEAKER_03: We treat them as equals.
- 7:44SPEAKER_03: They have so much to give.
- 7:46SPEAKER_03: It's just incredible.
- 7:49SPEAKER_03: They're energy that comes from them you can just feel it it is just beautiful that's how I describe it
- 8:00SPEAKER_01: it is it totally is and also it helps you when you do the animal communication it's really training you to be present and I'm sure you have the same with your animals it's much easier to just be really present in the moment when you're with them Like, you know, when you, like, I have that experience, especially I had that working with horses.
- 8:25SPEAKER_01: You really need to be with your horse to work effortlessly, to ride well, right?
- 8:33SPEAKER_01: You, like, really need to be in the moment.
- 8:36SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 8:37SPEAKER_03: Oh, I totally agree.
- 8:39SPEAKER_03: And, I mean, even just riding, just being with them, I have felt so many times they are like my phone dings or something.
- 8:48SPEAKER_03: It's like, you know, You're with us right now.
- 8:51SPEAKER_03: Let everything else go and just be in the moment and love the moment that you're in.
- 8:57SPEAKER_03: And the rest will wait.
- 8:59SPEAKER_03: And that is something I have learned to start to do.
- 9:03SPEAKER_03: And it makes such a difference.
- 9:05SPEAKER_03: I feel so much more energized when I do it that way rather than trying to do what so many of us humans think we have to do is multitask all the time.
- 9:17SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 9:17SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 9:18SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 9:18SPEAKER_01: Like multitask all the time and like feel good about it.
- 9:21SPEAKER_01: It's such a currency that's like, you know, I've worked like nine hours today.
- 9:27SPEAKER_01: It's like, of course you're going to say, hey, oh my goodness, that's amazing.
- 9:32SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 9:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:33UNKNOWN: Right.
- 9:33SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
- 9:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's just interesting to see that.
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 9:37SPEAKER_01: My cat told me yesterday that they needed to be three of them in our house, like two cats and one dog, to make sure that I was taking enough vitamins out to be present.
- 9:50SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's cute.
- 9:51SPEAKER_02: I love
- 9:54SPEAKER_03: that.
- 9:54SPEAKER_03: What makes this cause with the animals and communication so near and dear to you, Steph?
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: What makes it so new and dear to me?
- 10:08SPEAKER_01: I think what's really why it's because I'm looking for what's really so important to me is the freedom of understanding myself and being connected to my essence, like to a spiritual essence.
- 10:33SPEAKER_01: And so I think they're teaching us in so many ways, or they're helping us on the path in so many ways.
- 10:45SPEAKER_01: And, you know, like Gandhi said that the way society treats animals is an indicator of society's spiritual evolution.
- 10:57SPEAKER_01: You know, seeing that...
- 10:59SPEAKER_01: like how they talk to us.
- 11:01SPEAKER_01: And one of my, like my first like real spiritual teacher, he's called Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
- 11:10SPEAKER_01: He's a human rights activist, sits in the UN and he's like super involved all over the world.
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: And he says, when you are awake, the whole creation will speak to you.
- 11:21SPEAKER_01: And so like when I started to listen to, really to listen to his teachings, I felt such relief in myself.
- 11:29SPEAKER_01: I felt that I could be free of other people's expectations, of my own expectations, free to really be who I am and connected.
- 11:46SPEAKER_01: And I think that is what I love to, that's what I want to be, that's what I want to teach, that's how I want to work with other people.
- 11:54SPEAKER_01: And I believe that the human, as a the reason why we are destructive of the planet and, you know, having such trouble getting along with each other, honestly, is because we don't feel that deep connection.
- 12:13SPEAKER_01: Like in the art of living, with Shishirabhi Shankar, the greeting that we would say is, I belong to you.
- 12:21SPEAKER_01: And that is such a strange thing to say to somebody you've never met.
- 12:26SPEAKER_02: To
- 12:28SPEAKER_01: look them in the eye and say, I belong to you.
- 12:30SPEAKER_02: And
- 12:33SPEAKER_01: so we don't feel like we belong to this planet.
- 12:36SPEAKER_01: We even classify ourselves as outside of nature, which is ridiculous.
- 12:41SPEAKER_01: There's nature that's so much better than us and there is us.
- 12:45SPEAKER_01: And we're part of it.
- 12:47SPEAKER_01: And this feeling of belonging, I think, is love.
- 12:51SPEAKER_01: That is the spiritual love in its purest sense.
- 12:54SPEAKER_01: So if we can really feel that, then I am part of you and you are part of me.
- 13:01SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to hurt myself.
- 13:06SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to hurt this thing about me.
- 13:10SPEAKER_01: It's no longer an option to do that.
- 13:14SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 13:15SPEAKER_02: So
- 13:16SPEAKER_01: for me, that talking with the animals and the world, it's just opening that sense of belonging all the time.
- 13:22SPEAKER_01: Oh,
- 13:25SPEAKER_03: that's beautiful.
- 13:26SPEAKER_03: And it sounds like it's the freedom of understanding yourself.
- 13:33SPEAKER_03: your spiritual self and bringing that out in more ways so you can help others too.
- 13:40SPEAKER_03: It's kind of what I'm hearing through what you're saying also.
- 13:43SPEAKER_01: Because, you know, it comes in, like, this is how it comes to me and the same thing.
- 13:49SPEAKER_01: I can see it coming to other people.
- 13:52SPEAKER_01: Like, when I do the animal communications with people, you know, I don't talk to them about the spiritual dimension.
- 13:58SPEAKER_01: But, like, what's happening often is that issues arise just level out just a little bit, just because the animal feels seen, and the person is feeling a deeper sense of belonging.
- 14:12SPEAKER_01: The animal often has felt that belonging, even though I think the belonging from the animal increases as well, just feeling that, hey, my person's been, my human's been asking how I feel.
- 14:25SPEAKER_01: They're obviously interested, so that's like an appreciation.
- 14:29SPEAKER_01: of their being in the family.
- 14:33SPEAKER_01: Now I forgot a new question, Joyce.
- 14:36SPEAKER_01: No, you're fine.
- 14:37SPEAKER_01: We
- 14:37SPEAKER_03: were just kind of chatting about it.
- 14:42SPEAKER_03: You very well covered why this cause is so near and dear to you, what you are doing.
- 14:48SPEAKER_03: I am just curious, was there maybe an aha moment in your life that really made you realize how passionate you are about bringing about this type of animal communication to others?
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: An aha moment?
- 15:08SPEAKER_01: I think it's like started...
- 15:11SPEAKER_01: I think, okay, well, you know what?
- 15:14SPEAKER_01: To the latest aha moment, I've really enjoyed it.
- 15:19SPEAKER_01: Like all the time, every time I do it, I really enjoy it.
- 15:22SPEAKER_01: I feel...
- 15:24SPEAKER_01: It just opens up my heart.
- 15:27SPEAKER_01: But I also, I'm trained as a veterinarian.
- 15:31SPEAKER_01: So as a part of me is like, there's always going, you know, there's one voice in my head that goes like, yeah, that's not really, you know, scientific.
- 15:40SPEAKER_01: It's not really well recognized.
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: It's not really like blah, blah, blah, whatever that is.
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: So the latest aha moment was really amazing.
- 15:51SPEAKER_01: I have another business as well.
- 15:53SPEAKER_01: I have two businesses simultaneously.
- 15:55SPEAKER_01: And that other business wasn't growing unless I put as much energy into the animal communication.
- 16:03SPEAKER_01: Or at least I had to have that as well.
- 16:06SPEAKER_01: So they're growing simultaneously.
- 16:08SPEAKER_01: So that was kind of the latest uh-huh.
- 16:11SPEAKER_01: Going like, well, it's really important for me.
- 16:16SPEAKER_01: And I have to...
- 16:20SPEAKER_01: learn about myself and go like, oh, this is where I'm not feeling good enough.
- 16:24SPEAKER_01: Oh, this is where I don't trust the universe.
- 16:28SPEAKER_01: And so it's bringing all these little pieces to me as well.
- 16:32SPEAKER_01: Just like this interview with you today, right?
- 16:34SPEAKER_01: I have as many interviews about the animal communication as I have about the Leeds work, like helping medical professionals feeling relaxed, with, like, similar ways of working with them, maybe, but it's just a different thing.
- 16:53SPEAKER_01: It's more like, you know, quote, unquote, I'm professional.
- 16:58SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 17:00SPEAKER_01: So, yes, it's just not, you know, the universe is just saying, hey, you've got to keep that in there.
- 17:07SPEAKER_01: You know, it's not a choice.
- 17:09SPEAKER_01: It's like, you want to go anywhere?
- 17:10SPEAKER_01: This is coming with you.
- 17:12SPEAKER_03: Oh, I love that.
- 17:14SPEAKER_03: That is just beautiful.
- 17:16SPEAKER_03: Well, that kind of brings me into another question on what are some of the other ways that animals can teach us different things?
- 17:29SPEAKER_01: So the way I know is that we learn, like animals hold archetypal energies as well.
- 17:42SPEAKER_01: for us as humanity, you know, in stories.
- 17:44SPEAKER_01: Like, I mean, I assume everyone's heard about the archetypes, you know, like the archetype of the warrior, the hero, you know, the wise woman, and the trickster, you know, all of those.
- 17:58SPEAKER_01: And so we learn as humans, we learn through stories where those archetypes play a role and, you know, we can...
- 18:09SPEAKER_01: make sense in our own life regarding, according to those stories, of the learnings of those stories.
- 18:20SPEAKER_01: And so animals hold similar energies.
- 18:24SPEAKER_01: And so you get, you can access those energies when you work with spirit animals or with, like, and that, like a, The person who's really pioneered that is Ted Andrews.
- 18:42SPEAKER_01: He's no longer alive.
- 18:44SPEAKER_01: He wrote a book called Animal Speak.
- 18:47SPEAKER_01: Basically, he works to help people get in touch with their spirit animals.
- 18:52SPEAKER_01: And I think it's like a native Indian thing, and I think that's probably in indigenous peoples all over the world who have these stories of how animals are part of their heritage.
- 19:04SPEAKER_01: But especially the indigenous people in America, you know, the animals are part of their creation myth.
- 19:13SPEAKER_01: And so they hold these energies, you know, like that's when they called grandmother or grandfather.
- 19:19SPEAKER_01: And so like, for example, if you like go on a journey to ask for a spirit animal guide, then you might get like a bear guide And that bear holds specific energies that will help you on your journey.
- 19:38SPEAKER_01: Like for me, the bear has really held me.
- 19:41SPEAKER_01: And because Mother Bear is a spiritual, a guide on a spiritual journey.
- 19:48SPEAKER_01: It will hold your spiritual journey.
- 19:52SPEAKER_01: And then you can, when you allow that into your life, you can feel, you know what I mean?
- 19:56SPEAKER_01: Imagine a grizzly bear-sized teddy bear that's there for you.
- 20:01SPEAKER_01: Like if you really let that energy in, that's so powerful.
- 20:06SPEAKER_01: So that's a way they can aid us in our lives.
- 20:12SPEAKER_01: And I love facilitating those food animal journeys.
- 20:15SPEAKER_01: And again, it's like it's going back out.
- 20:18SPEAKER_01: Like if that's how you relate to the nature around you, you know, again, it opens up another avenue of connection.
- 20:30UNKNOWN: Wow.
- 20:31SPEAKER_03: Oh, that is beautiful.
- 20:32SPEAKER_03: Oh, I love the mother bear.
- 20:34SPEAKER_03: The bear has helped you in different ways.
- 20:36SPEAKER_03: And do you feel different animals give off different energies?
- 20:42SPEAKER_03: Is there different energies that come from different animals?
- 20:45SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
- 20:47SPEAKER_01: And there is, like, you know, for me, there is so many dimensions we inhabit.
- 20:52SPEAKER_01: So...
- 20:53SPEAKER_01: or we can inhabit once you go like, okay, well, there's more than just this physical dimension.
- 20:59SPEAKER_01: Then it becomes there's an emotional dimension, you know, a thought dimension where we often don't even see the physical around us.
- 21:07SPEAKER_01: And then there is the dream dimension, you know, vision.
- 21:10SPEAKER_01: So depending on which dimension you are, obviously, you know, everyone holds different energies.
- 21:19SPEAKER_01: Like, The dog that I have now, Mia, holds different energies than the dog that I had before, Roxy.
- 21:25SPEAKER_01: So it's a personal thing, for one thing.
- 21:27SPEAKER_01: And then there is the energy of dogs.
- 21:29SPEAKER_01: Like, how are dogs?
- 21:30SPEAKER_01: Like, what's the overall characteristics?
- 21:35SPEAKER_01: Like, so dogs really, you know, they really enjoy life.
- 21:40SPEAKER_01: So they're with us and they're wagging.
- 21:44SPEAKER_01: You know, like a dog's wag.
- 21:46SPEAKER_01: It's just like that's quintessential what a dog is about, right?
- 21:49SPEAKER_01: They bark at things that move into their territory.
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: It's like, hey, this is mine.
- 21:54SPEAKER_01: That's another dog energy.
- 21:57SPEAKER_01: And then they're really loyal to that pack.
- 22:03SPEAKER_01: They know who's in that pack.
- 22:05SPEAKER_01: And then they also know where they belong.
- 22:09SPEAKER_01: Like they say, dog knows their home ground.
- 22:13SPEAKER_01: You know, they don't, they have a territory and this is where they are.
- 22:17SPEAKER_01: And then cats have this connection to night.
- 22:21SPEAKER_01: So there is, you know, and the night, the darkness is where magic happens.
- 22:25SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, the magic of creation, obviously, the magic of the womb.
- 22:30SPEAKER_01: And so cats is tied in with that.
- 22:33SPEAKER_01: And then also there is an energy of really being present, a little bit of a mischievous energy.
- 22:42SPEAKER_01: and very, very agile.
- 22:45SPEAKER_01: And then they're also a little bit tied to our shadow, you know, because a lot of the time we don't know what they're doing in the middle of the night.
- 22:56SPEAKER_01: And then birds have a whole other, you know, birds have the connection to the sky, to space and the air and, you know, a mastery of the sky and of flight.
- 23:07SPEAKER_01: And there's birds that, like, live on the ground.
- 23:10SPEAKER_01: So there is that flight and also a connection to the ground.
- 23:15SPEAKER_01: You know, there's birds that fly especially high, so there is like this view of focus, you know, this wide view and the ability to really focus as well at the same time.
- 23:27SPEAKER_01: And then predators have different energies than prey animals, obviously.
- 23:33SPEAKER_01: You know, and when you look at those, it's really interesting to look at this predator and prey relationship.
- 23:43SPEAKER_01: And when you dive into that and you're really interested and you're amalgamated, like take it into yourself, then life and death become more understandable.
- 23:57SPEAKER_01: They become like it's a more, it's not so much beginning and ending.
- 24:02SPEAKER_01: It's a continuous process of change.
- 24:07SPEAKER_01: And so it's easier to understand and easier to live with death, you know, because it's part of, you know, if the generation before us didn't die, we wouldn't be here.
- 24:23SPEAKER_01: There would be no space.
- 24:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 24:28SPEAKER_03: Oh, how beautifully put and how beautifully described with the different energies in the different animals, just the few that you mentioned.
- 24:36SPEAKER_03: I love that.
- 24:37SPEAKER_03: That was beautiful.
- 24:39SPEAKER_03: That was a very good explanation on them.
- 24:42SPEAKER_03: Oh, that was just great.
- 24:43SPEAKER_03: I mean, I even feel the different energies.
- 24:46SPEAKER_03: I have three horses, and when I'll go out there, it's almost like the one that I need that day comes towards me right away.
- 24:55SPEAKER_03: And then the others will kind of pass by, or they'll wait, and then one will leave and one will come again.
- 25:02SPEAKER_03: And it's almost kind of like, okay, we sense what you're needing today, the energies, and they're each fulfilling that.
- 25:10SPEAKER_03: And my dogs are a lot like that, too.
- 25:13SPEAKER_03: My little red heeler, he's always with me.
- 25:15SPEAKER_03: So I guess he adapts to whatever energy I need.
- 25:20SPEAKER_03: I'm not sure, but he's always right there with me.
- 25:22SPEAKER_03: We're best buddies.
- 25:23UNKNOWN: Yeah.
- 25:24SPEAKER_02: But I
- 25:26SPEAKER_01: have really
- 25:27SPEAKER_03: seen
- 25:29SPEAKER_01: it in horses.
- 25:29SPEAKER_01: Totally.
- 25:29SPEAKER_01: And I think everybody has seen it.
- 25:32SPEAKER_01: As soon as you hear it, it's like everyone who's got animals, as soon as you hear this, you go like, yeah, I see that.
- 25:38SPEAKER_01: I can, you know.
- 25:39SPEAKER_01: It's like, you know, they're in our life as a relationship.
- 25:44SPEAKER_01: And we know that our relationships are there to help us grow.
- 25:48SPEAKER_01: I mean, that doesn't mean you have to stay in every relationship forever.
- 25:51SPEAKER_01: But But, you know, they are there for us.
- 25:56SPEAKER_01: They're not there to torture us.
- 25:57SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean, they are to torture us if torture is the only way we grow.
- 26:00SPEAKER_01: But, you know, the relationship with our animals is just the same.
- 26:08SPEAKER_01: So they're like, you know, they're putting...
- 26:10SPEAKER_01: If you have a problem with your animal, if there is a problem with your animal in your house, then that is for you to work through.
- 26:19SPEAKER_01: It is your problem.
- 26:20SPEAKER_01: You see it.
- 26:20SPEAKER_01: You perceive it as a problem.
- 26:22SPEAKER_01: And the animal...
- 26:24SPEAKER_01: is just there to show it to you.
- 26:27SPEAKER_01: That is their job in that moment.
- 26:32SPEAKER_01: You can really bless them for that and thank them for being that for you.
- 26:39SPEAKER_03: Oh, wow.
- 26:41SPEAKER_03: That is just beautiful.
- 26:42SPEAKER_03: So it's really, they are showing you some of your own inner problems that you're needing to deal with that maybe you have said, I have put them down and the animals help bring them out so you can deal with them and become that better person that you need to become.
- 27:00SPEAKER_03: Oh, I love that.
- 27:01SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 27:01SPEAKER_03: That is beautiful.
- 27:04SPEAKER_01: Just like your horse, you know, like the horse that comes to you, the one you need that day.
- 27:08SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 27:10SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 27:10SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 27:11SPEAKER_03: And it happens all the time.
- 27:13SPEAKER_03: And it's always a different one.
- 27:16SPEAKER_03: And I have a mare that she's kind of a tension and kind of not.
- 27:20SPEAKER_03: But when she comes to me, I know there's a reason.
- 27:23SPEAKER_03: She doesn't stay as long as the other two.
- 27:25SPEAKER_03: But she's more, I'm down to business.
- 27:29SPEAKER_03: Let's do what we need to do.
- 27:30SPEAKER_03: And I'm on my way again.
