Stop. Hey, what’s that sound?

Nancy Crowe

This duck and chicken had just been startled by a random firework on a summer day. Just as quickly, they decided it didn’t pose a threat and relaxed. (I think it helped that I didn’t jump.) 

If your animal companions are afraid of fireworks, you have whatever meds or plans you need in place by now, right? Oh, of course you do. 

Now all you have to do is keep your own reaction in check while the bombs are bursting in air and next door. Stay calm, turn up the music or TV and refrain from saying things like: “You poor baby. It’s OK. Shhhh, it’s OK.” Seeing you treat the occasion as no big deal will help the animals do so, too.

To help your animals of any species keep calm and carry on, contact me for an animal communication or Let Animals Lead® healing meditation session today.

Acting like we have all day

If you’re feeling stuck between what happened and what’s coming, you’re in good company. Tuff the camp horse had already nuzzled and checked me for treats, ditched his fly mask (twice) and decided he was tired of being on welcoming duty with two other horses (who’d moved to the other side of the pasture). Now here I was relaying the message that he couldn’t go back in the barn just yet. All he wanted to do was get on with his day.

I told Tuff he was welcome to share a Let Animals Lead® meditation with me in the meantime. He grumbled but took me up on it. After a few minutes, he stopped fidgeting, lowered his head and began licking and chewing. By the time he went back into the barn, he was much happier. 

Horse trainer Monty Roberts said that if you act like you have 15 minutes it’ll take all day, but if you act like you have all day it’ll take 15 minutes. 

Getting on with your day or your life is easier if you stop and refresh. Who knows, maybe that is getting on with your day.

Dental anxiety? Reign it in

Nancy Crowe

Itchy with bug bites, Megan the gypsy horse was in no mood to have her teeth done. I’d been told she had dental issues and, even with sedation, anxiety to the point of rearing. Now her turn was coming up.

I told her what was happening and that I knew firsthand that tooth and skin problems are no fun … but not insurmountable. She’d indicated a few weeks earlier that she was “the queen around here” — so I said: “Be the queen. You’ve got this.”

She was skeptical but shared a meditation session with me. I pictured her bathed in a gentle light, regal and unbothered.

Megan reportedly had a good visit with the equine dentist. As befits a queen, all four feet stayed on the ground.  

We all require maintenance now and then. If an air of royalty helps you get it done, go for it. Just reign kindly.
