Spirit Paws March/April 2009 Newsletter  The
Energetic Ripple Effect How have the recent turn of events affected you individually, locally and globally? Do you find you, your friends and family anxious, distracted and agitated by the energy that has been created by our current economic situation? How is your worry or fear about your situation being felt out in the world? Remember for what ever we do or think is always being sent out to the universe and becomes part of the universal collective. It has a ripple effect on all we do and the animals we share Mother Earth with. It is from this situation that I have noticed and felt the uneasiness of animals during this time too. Over the past several months there have been a lot of news reports about animals attacking people. In almost every news story the people who owned the animals or the people being attacked said it was completely out of character of who the animal really was. So, why would seemingly docile and normally happy pets be reacting in this way? Think about the feeling of where our nation or the world for that matter is as a whole right now? Don't you think the anxiety we feel transfers over to our pets and all animals who inhabit the planet? As we know energy is a powerful force to deal with! We also know animals are far more connected to Mother Earth and with their energetic surroundings. We as human beings generally have the ability to block unwanted energy from our space. We can move away from it, not acknowledge it, protect ourselves from or make a conscience effort not to let it affect us. Animals unfortunately do not have that same ability. They are more like energy sponges soaking up all the energy that surrounds them, both good and bad. This includes the animals out in the wild also. Many are feeling the collective negative energy being created by humans all over the world due to economics, war and a host of other issues. Take a few moments to see how your pets or animals in your area been affected? Do you find that they too are more agitated and full of anxiety these days? This is not a normal behavior for them as it is a human emotion. However because they live with us or share the planet with us they are exposed to the energy being put forth by us on a daily basis. Now if our energy is coming from a much calmer and more positive space our animals will react to that also. Animals are asking us to get back to that true form of who we are spiritually. Some of us are finding out the hard way we do not need all the things we think we need to live. Animals exist on the planet in the purest form of being minimalists. Some of us on the other hand, live to maximize and take as much as be can from each other and the planet. As recent days and events have come to past we are learning that more is not better, it is in fact possibly far more destructive in more ways than one. Animals are trying to adjust to this new energy as it seems to become stronger and more prevalent. Each day they show us how we could be living our lives and everyday we push back thinking we know best. Sometimes we do and other times we could certainly be taking cues from them and how they live. Is it utopia? No, but it is certainly one which is more aligned with our true nature. Animals hope we get the message soon as we have a direct effect on the planet we share with them. They are hopeful and look forward to the time when harmony among the species will exist.
Spring in in the AirWith the advent of spring coming we turn our attention to the yearly "spring cleaning" of our homes. We look forward to cleaning out the old to replace it with the new. It is at this time I would once again look at the things you may be getting rid of to see if there is a local shelter or rescue that may be able to use those things you no longer need. There are so many in need right now especially with people losing their homes and not being able to take their pets with them. The shelters and rescues are overwhelmed with daily drop offs from families no longer able to take care of their pet. Pick a shelter or breed specific rescue to see what is on their "wish list". It will be greatly appreciated!

Awhile ago I had the opportunity to meet and work
with the executive director of ROSES, Joan Twining. I can tell you she is
passionate about the work she does! The energy on the 12 acre land is both
healing and magical. She and the many volunteers at the ROSES are a group of
dedicated people who believe that positive interactions with horses can improve
the quality of life for people of all ages and abilities especially those with
special needs. The school receives no government funding, they rely on
fundraisers, grants and donations. I would encourage folks to check out their
website to see all the wonderful work they are doing with folks with
disabilities. Any support or possible partnerships would be greatly appreciated
and considered. All contributions are tax-deductable. There is a wish list on
the website and as mentioned there is no donation too small.
