Mothering is an act of love and care that extends beyond the boundaries of giving birth. It is a relationship built on attunement and understanding between the caregiver and the receiver. Attunement is the ability to tune into the needs and emotions of others, to respond with empathy and compassion, and to create a safe and secure space for them. When we look at nature, we can see the natural attunement between mother animals and their babies. Mother animals are attuned to their offspring's needs from birth, providing them warmth, nourishment, and protection. They respond to their babies' cries and movements, knowing what they need to feel safe and secure. This natural attunement is a reminder that we, too, are part of nature and that we have the innate ability to tune into the needs of others. 

It is a reminder that attunement is not just a human skill but a universal one we can learn from the natural world. Attunement is the ability to tune into the needs and emotions of others, to respond with empathy and compassion, and to create a safe and secure space for them. As an animal communicator and end-of-life grief specialist, I have seen how attunement is crucial in building genuine connections with both humans and animals. It is essential in creating a bond that goes beyond words and actions, a connection that touches the heart and soul. Attunement becomes even more important in our pets' aging and senior years. It is a time when our pets need us the most, and we need to be there for them. Attunement allows us to understand their needs, provide comfort and support, and strengthen the bond between us.

Every relationship with a pet is an ever-evolving connection that lives and breathes its own life force energy. Each of you brings many intricate layers of energy into your relationship. These layers are created by each of your personalities, histories, thoughts, feelings, and experiences. And where attention goes, energy flows. This is the basis of your relationship energy!

Our animals are no different from us. They respond differently to their energetic environment based on their personality, level of self-confidence, how they feel physically, their life experiences, maturity, and age. Many animals who feel ill, in pain, or in their senior years are typically more sensitive to energy shifts. When you notice shifts in their behaviour, actions, mood, or appetite, it is an excellent opportunity to do a self-check-in with your energy. Here are some steps to help you bring back harmony in your relationship.

Animals are feeling beings. They acutely feel the energy of everything, and everyone, in their surroundings. This level of energetic awareness helps them to sense and decipher their environment. Since your pet is in-tune with your internal energetic state, you often convey messages to them that you are unaware of. These silent conversations you are having with them can impact their comfort levels and how they interact with you.

Our pets are not only dependent on us for their physical well-being, they are also dependent on us for their energetic well-being. Animals are feeling beings, meaning they experience the world primarily through the energy and emotions that surround them. If you are looking to have a stronger connection with, and greater understanding of your pet, cultivating an awareness of your energetic state and surroundings is essential. 

Our animals don't speak English or any other spoken language, for that matter. They "speak" the language of energy, senses, and pure present moment awareness. When you say, "good boy," your dog isn't necessarily understanding the words; instead, they hear your tone and feel your energy of loving affection. I'll walk you through how to express gratitude in a way your pet will truly understand!
