Stella

Hi Stephanie,

My boyfriend and I have a Mustache Parakeet named Stella.  She’ll be 1 year old on March 31st, 2012.  She’s a very sweet and loving little birdie, but she is terrified of the vacuum.  Whenever my boyfriend or I bring out the vacuum, she freaks out and flies all over her cage in a panic, and sounds like she’s hyperventilating.  It’s not just the noise of the vacuum that scares her, often she reacts that way even when she just sees it.  My boyfriend and I have no idea what could be causing such an intense reaction from her?  Our little Quaker, Cookie, doesn’t mind the vacuum at all (he’s 6 months old).  We both don’t remember Stella being scared of the vacuum when we initially brought her home, but she developed this fear somewhere along the line.  I was wondering if you could please find out what may be causing this fear and what we can do about it?

Thank you very much!

Hi Shelley

In my communication with Stella I found her to be very open and excited to communicating. She showed herself to me bobbing up and down and shifting from one foot to the other as if she were doing a little dance. I felt comfortable asking her right away if she could tell us why the vacuum cleaner bothered her so much. She immediately sent me the message that…”the sound it makes is like a distress call and that it is a bad machine.” I asked her for clarification and she sent back “My feathers and food go into it and so might I!”  From this message it would be helpful to talk to her and let her know that she is safe from harm and that the vacuum just cleans the house and nothing more. I would also suggest leaving the vacuum out and allowing her to get used to it just being there. This is a way of letting her know that it is an everyday object and she need not be afraid of it. Then reward her when she remains calm or doesn’t fuss too much over it.

You may also consider giving her Mimulus and Rock Rose remedies to ease her fear and terror. Putting 2 drops of each remedy in a spray bottle and spraying the room with them before you bring out the vacuum will help to keep her calm. Sending her images of being calm and relaxed and breathing normally will also assist her. She will be reacting in part to how you think she will be reacting so as long as you have these peaceful images and thoughts she will too.

She’s a smart little bird and in time and with a little reassurance she’ll soon realize that the vacuum cleaner is nothing more than that.

Blessings to you all,

Stephanie

Misty

Hi Stephanie,

I noticed your Animal Whispers column in the True Blue Spirit – picked up at a local Psychic Expo.

Misty is a female Jack Russell that we adopted in 1999.  The story went that the litter of pups was thrown out on the highway.  Only 2 survived – Misty and her brother – but Misty had been hit by a car and has a steel pin in her shoulder.

She’s been a wonderful dog, and didn’t have any real medical problems until a couple of years ago when she started getting ulcers on one of her eyes.  She had an operation so that the tissue would reconnect over the cornea.  I don’t know that it worked very well, as she has constant eye infection and has to have drops and ointment daily.  Last year she had to have teeth removed so had another op for that as there were a few taken out.

Other than that, she has been healthy.  We realise that she’s getting on in years now (she’s 13) and health problems will crop up, but didn’t quite bargain for the loss of bladder and colon control that she’s been having over the last few weeks.

Misty has been a wonderful dog and has fitted in with the family like another child.  We all love her to bits, but are a little concerned about her right now.

Would you be able to tell me anything?

Many thanks for any help you can give us.

Dear Kay 

What a brave dog you have in Misty. Her story is very tragic yet heart warming as she now has you and your family to love her.

She seemed very excited to communicate as I kept seeing her turning circles and looking up at me. I told her what a brave dog she has been and if she could share with us what she knew was wrong with her. She sent back this message…”There is something wrong inside of me.” “I don’t know what it is, it just doesn’t feel right.” “I can’t help it when I have to go.” [Here she was meaning her bladder and colon issues.] “It comes on so suddenly.” “I know they are worried about me.”  “It’s okay, I’m all right.”  “I may need some help.”

I thanked her for sharing what she did and sent her some healing energy. I sensed from her that she wasn’t wanting to tell me everything because she doesn’t want you to worry about her. She cares very deeply about your feelings. Bladder and colon issues have to do with ones ability to let go and not hang onto things that irritate or frustrate us. She may be sensing some kind of tension to do with these kinds of feelings and thus her body is responding accordingly. 

My advise would be to have her looked at by the vet to rule out any serious conditions she may have. Loss of bladder and colon control can mask a host of serious symptoms such as tumours, parasites, cancers, etc. Eliminating allergy causing foods such as wheat, corn, soy, sugars, dairy and dyes from her diet would be helpful too. Giving her some Cod Live Oil [a ½ teaspoon in her food], for her eye would be very beneficial as this is not only immune boosting but would help to stop the ulcers from occurring so often. 

She’s such a sweet girl with a very big heart and she is indeed lucky to have you all in her life as are you to have her.

Blessings,

Stephanie  

Dixie

Hi Stephanie,

This is my girl Dixie.  She is about 6 years old and is a black lab cross.

We adopted her from a rescue group 4 years ago.  She is a beautiful girl except…she has a big issue with being in the car. Her usual demeanor is very quiet, (she rarely barks), and very docile.  However, when in the car she whines and cries very loudly and pretty much non-stop.  She has no trouble getting into the car and when we stop she is happy to wait for us to tell her when she can exit the car.  It is only during the car trip, no matter how short or long, that she whines and cries and is very restless. This has been going on ever since she arrived.

We have tried many things to resolve this, but nothing has worked. We currently handle the situation by putting a muzzle on her. 

We greatly appreciate any insight into her distress. 

 Best regards,

Tianne 

 

Hi Tianne 

Dixie’s issue is not an uncommon one however each animal will have their own emotional reasons why it upsets them to travel.

Dixie sent me an image of a fast moving boat on the water and a sense of not knowing how to stop it. I also picked up her fear and insecurity very strongly. Her issue is of feeling out of control when the car is moving and not knowing how to stop it when she wants to. She feels disconnected from the earth or ungrounded. I also picked up from her that her head hurts when the car is in motion. Her whining and restlessness is her way of relieving the tension and anxiety she feels in her body.

It may be helpful to buy something called a grounding strip. These are simply a piece of thin plastic with a copper wire in the middle that hang from the bumper of your car and touch the ground. They may sell them in some pet stores or in automotive places. They are basically designed to help with car sickness and to ground the vehicle so that passengers and pets feel more grounded and less anxious. Telling her before you go where you are going and for how long she will be in the car will also help as well as picturing her in your mind as being calm in the car. Bringing along a favourite toy may ease her distress as well.

The Bach Flower remedy Mimulus would be a good one for her fear and anxiety and Walnut for traveling would be helpful as well.

Blessings to you,

Stephanie

The Secret Life Of Plants – by Peter Thomkins

A fascinating account of the physical, emotional, and spiritual relations between plant and man. Plants not only have emotions similar to ours, they communicate with each other and are connected to humans by extrasensory perception. Even though you may be thousands of miles away from your plants, they will feel and react to your emotions or spoken words. Show them love and they will develop into beautiful healthy plants, display hatred toward them and they will slowly perish. Police have been known to use plants as a form of lie detector; or through electronic devices connected to plants, to identify a thief or murderer.

We are dependent on plants to provide over 400 billion tons of food per year along with oxygen for us to breathe. Without plants we could not exist. Read how the chemicals we cover our land with are not only harming our plants but also ourselves. Read how to grow healthy crops, free from disease, without using insecticides, fungicides, germicides, or chemical fertilizers. Healthy plants, healthy people. A truly wonderful book that gives me a very spiritual and loving feeling towards all plants.

The Ancient Secret Of The Fountain Of Youth – by Peter Kelder

I was doubtful when I first opened this book but then I reminded myself the book more or less dropped into my hands so why not read it. I soon became intrigued. When you first open the book you will see pages of reader testimonials of how their gray hair went back to its original colour, they looked and felt 20 years younger, they were cured of many health problems such as arthritis, joint problems, chronic pain, emotional and mental problems and much more.

The main character, searching for the fountain of youth, traveled to Tibet where after a long and difficult trek in the remote mountainous region, discovered people who he found to be in remarkable states of health and youthfulness. What was their secret? They thought it not a secret at all but the basic principles of living. They taught him the five rites to perform daily, which are basic for tapping into the fountain of youth. The author who knew the main character personally, met with him on his return from Tibet and did not recognize him. He appeared 20 years younger.

The Cure for All Cancers – by Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark, Ph.D., N.D.

If you have cancer or are concerned about it then this is worthwhile reading. Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark dedicated her life to the study of cancer. Through her research findings she showed there is a single cause for all cancers, this being a parasite. This book takes us through steps to eliminate harmful chemicals from our bodies to promote healthy living. Dr. Clark sought to deal with the cause and then let our bodies cure the cancer. Dr. Clark set a goal of 100 cases to be cured of cancer before publishing her findings in her book. She states all 100 were cured and remain so. The book also states that it has no conflict with clinical treatments.

 

“Dr. Clark, with her self-health approach, has touched countless individuals around the globe who have been able to help themselves with the knowledge that she has provided. Dr. Clark endured severe attacks by professional adversaries as well as Government Officials. She nevertheless carried on sharing her knowledge for the benefit of health and mankind.” www.drclark.net

 

A truly inspiring book on how one person dedicated her life to help all humanity with no thought of profits or personal gain.

In Search Of The Miraculous – by Ehsida Bisset

This book is about the mind and pure consciousness. Some of the many mental problems for which this book can serve as a guide to overcoming are: addiction, depression, eating disorders, heartbreak, panic attacks, compulsive emotions and many more.

Bisset has designed what she calls “The Witnessing Technique” to help our pure consciousness overcome our pre-programmed egos. Those who are spiritualists will know how difficult it is to overcome our egos, to allow us to meditate, heal, conduct mediumship or just to have better control over our true self to lead a more peaceful and rewarding  life.

The final chapters are case studies of people who have applied The Witnessing Technique to rise above their painful programming. I have been using Bisset’s technique and found it exceptional.

Waiting for Autumn – by Scott Blum

This is the story of a man who, after losing his fiancée and his job, packed up his meagre belongings and started driving north from California. He ended up in a small town in Oregon where he has an encounter with a homeless person who proves to be more then he appears. The challenges, as he finds himself entangled between the physical world and the spiritual world, change his life forever.

We all have contemplated the idea of whether or not we could change the past, or see into the future. Perhaps this will provide some insight into what many consider to be impossible. This is a wonderful book, full of energy that inspires and opens the mind to the unknown. It is a journey of self discovery that gives one a warm and wonderful feeling.
