Our Animals Give Us Great Feedback  By Suzette Faith Foster

Our animal’s behavior and illnesses remind us that the vibration we walk around with affects them. Their behavior is direct feedback to what is going on in our minds and households. I was at two events recently with Karen Wrigley, an animal communicator. Participants received individual examples of how animals sense our energy field and mirror our fears, emotions and thoughts. Their behavior can teach us to look within, find balance in our lives and release false beliefs. We are attracted to the animals whose personalities are perfect for the lessons our souls want to learn.

The animals that spoke through Karen reminded us to truly love ourselves. They made it clear that we are to have fun and to laugh more and to see the divine Being that we are instead of the limited person we grew up believing we are. They reminded us that we often look outside of ourselves for answers when with quiet time and reflection answers will be revealed from within. Their wisdom can reveal pertinent information regarding our health, relationships, life styles or just ways that our thoughts are communicated to them. One in a family of four cats shared how his two adults have confusing opinions. When they would put the cats out for the night, this cat would hide under the bed not wanting to go out. Karen’s reading revealed that this cat was the husband’s favorite– they had been together before the marriage. He would agree verbally that all the cats should be out at night but emotionally he didn’t want his favorite cat to leave. The cat felt this energy and confusion and would hide under the bed. When the husband understands his role in the cat’s behavior he can adjust his attitude.

Happy is Happy and Sad is Sad

Happy is happy and sad is sad.  One cannot fool an animal which one you are.  I have heard many say, I’m fine, okay, I am making my way.  This is not truly happy. Happy is a state of the mind. And it is possible to be happy in spite of what one is experiencing or sees.

A terrier named Scout said, “Keep doing it (being happy) — you will get it and it will be close to the way of life I like to live innately. We mirror you because you are the ones we look up to, and it is our job to show you who you truly are being. We are also the ones who are trying to show you it is important to be happy. It is simple:  To be happy is active, not passive. Also, happiness is not always what “you” thought happy would be for you….following innate happiness can lead one to something better than you thought it could be.”

Purple People Eater

An interesting thing has happened on my way through the past several months.  I have been sharing more deliberate information that speaks not only of thinking out of the box in which we live, but living outside of the box.  Life is taking on a new paradigm.  I have read about this from many sources, the animals speak of it, and most importantly, I feel it in my bones. I am learning to embrace an easier, trusting way of living―living in the present.

I find circumstances that used to bother or upset me, do not. A big one is―there are close people in my life that may be passing over. Now and then I feel a tinge of fear or grief, but then quickly go to what the other side is about and I become happy for them―sometimes, I wish could be there too.  To not fear death, it has been said, is the end of all fears.  Yet I have more to learn.

In the past few days I have had important emails disappear.  I spent many an hour looking for them, not to be found.  I asked for guidance, and from my spiritual ear, I heard: Purple People Eater.  (Yes, you read that correctly.)  An inquisitive smile came to my face.  And I thought I was going to write a message from an animal.  I got the Purple People Eater!  I guess in some form this purple beast could be associated with the animal kingdom, or not!

I researched Purple People Eater.  The words come from a song from 1958, a silly whimsical fun song. The short version of what this message meant to me:  lighten up, have fun.  The color purple is associated with the higher realms, let it consume or eat my mucky energy.  All will work out fine in spite of losing my emails.  And it did.

Another version:  Don’t be eaten up by the Purple People Eater, or don’t let obstacles in life eat you up.  The lost emails were consuming me.
