As dogs and cats make their way into our homes and hearts, evidence of the healing power of pets continues to grow. Research indicates simply petting a dog lowers your stress levels, regulates breathing, and reduces blood pressure, and that the “love” and bonding hormone oxytocin is released for both humans and dogs. Furthermore, dogs and cats are sensitive to our energies, and have the ability to work with us on a much deeper level. This article explores how you can work together with your pet as a healing partner, and what you can do to support your pet’s health and well-being through awareness of the energy in your home.

There are many stories of dogs acting heroically, and having an innate sense of our emotions and energies. When I am doing any healing work in my home, meditation, or anything that is bringing in positive energy, my dog and cat are drawn to it and want to be involved. We can consciously work with them on a soul level to support them in stepping more into their potential as a healing companion.

Tips for Working with Your Animal Companion

1. Meditate with your dog or cat –  Connect to them on a soul level. Get to know their energy, their desires, and how you can support them in expressing their unique purpose. Build this relationship over time. Through meditation you can communicate with your pet and ask them for what you need in your relationship, as well as how you can support them.


2. Talk to them as if they are a person – when you treat your dog or cat with the respect and dignity that you would give to another human, it supports their soul’s progression and realization of their potential. Assume they DO understand you. They perceive much more than we often realize.


3. Manage your own energy – it will benefit your pet the more you can do to manage your own energy, reducing stress and negativity, and to be a source of peaceful energy in your home. Taking responsibility for your energies will create a more harmonious environment in your home for both you, your pets, and any other human companions.Try meditation, receiving energy work, and tools such as what is taught in the Sacred Geometry trainings to really create an energetic sanctuary for you and your pets to live in and thrive. This will help both you and your furry companions have a strong foundation from which to live and work.


4. Give your pet the gift of a Life Activation – this DNA activation is primarily used for humans to access more of their inner knowing and potential, but can also be shared with animal companions to assist them in embodying their soul essence and expression of their unique purpose. It is often a shorter session and reduced cost for pets. Connect with a Life Activation Practitioner near you to learn more about having this session completed for your dog or cat.
