Missing Animals - how to guide them home

I'd love to share a few things I've learnt after assisting with missing animal cases. It is of course so important to act quickly and follow all practical advice. I have written this to assist from another perspective.

When you call for your animal it's important to call in a calm inviting manner, the usual sweet voice you'd use and not with desperation or urgency they pick up on this and it could make them wary of coming to you. They can pick up on what we are thinking and feeling so I understand its difficult in these circumstances, but it's so important for the household to stay calm and to keep picturing a positive outcome. Keep picturing them coming home to you safely with a feeling of love and gratitude, not desperation. They can pick up on this energy.

There are two lovely meditations one can do to guide an animal back home. You must be in your house they went missing from. You want to be calm, take a few deep breaths and then when you feel grounded imagine a beautiful golden coil extending from your solar plexus to their solar plexus and you slowly, gently, lovingly draw that coil back to you. This energetically guides them home.

The other is you imagine a beautiful beam of white light shining from the middle of your home, up through the ceiling, up to the sky, to the heavens with the intention that this light guides them home. Ask your animal in your heart to follow this beam of light. I've had success with these meditations alone. Of course its important to follow all the other advice like looking in different places, getting neighbours to check their garages, gardens and homes. Putting your animals photo with a description of their most distinguishing features on social media and flyers (not everyone is on social media). Physically go and knock on neighbours doors, ask them to keep an eye out for your animal. For cats searching at night and early morning when it is quiet and they are most active.

When we ask them to come 'home' it's so important to picture where home is. It's with you and any other animals in the house. This is particularly important if there has been a recent move.

If it were my animal I'd also my other animals in spirit to help guide them home. You can picture them surrounded by beautiful white light of divine protection so they may come to no harm and your other animals that have passed on guarding them and guiding them back to you safely.

Working through past trauma with Linden Blossom

I had the pleasure of meeting this lovely girl today. In the session she brought up fear of men from her past so I started offering different oils for trauma. She showed the most interest in linden blossom so I left the bottle out near where she was sitting. She sniffed then walked around the room as we chatted further about some of the difficult memories she had before coming to her family. She then came to lay with the bottle between her legs and sniffed deeply for a few minutes as we let go of the heavy memories. When she was done she got up and we finished the session. Before I packed up I double checked that she had had enough of the oil and she ignored it, obviously satisfied.

I love how gently she was able to work with the linden blossom and how clear she was about what and how much she needed.

Linden blossom is a gentle oil that's usually selected by those with trust issues, past trauma and particularly fear of men. It smells a bit like honey and has a calming effect. It's one of my favourites and invaluable in sessions.

*this bottle was actually empty, but kept the lovely scent so it was safe to leave out without concern for being knocked over.

Learning about love from Tosca, the horse

Two years ago, I had a lovely conversation with the school pony Tosca. It's always stayed with me. I took her out grazing so she could get a break from the sandy paddock and I asked her how she was feeling. She told me she felt 'happy' and I was surprised because I know she works hard and I'm often concerned about her. I told her that's wonderful what made her so happy? She replied 'because I feel loved' and she showed me this beautiful image of pink beams of light radiating from her heart. This helped me realise that no matter what someone is going through, loving them makes all the difference. There's always something we can do for an animal in need, simply sending genuine love from your heart can be felt so profoundly. It was such a beautiful moment and just had capture the feeling she gave me in watercolours to share
