How a smile can make a difference - especially when communicating with your animal

How do you communicate with your animal?

  • With a gentle voice? Or do you let some of your frustrations from the day spill over onto your pet?

  • Maybe you give them a gentle pat on the head.

  • Spend time with them as you cuddle together on the couch.

  • Give them a treat for not barking when the doorbell rings instead of raising your voice harshly when they get startled by it.

Believe it or not these are the many ways we communicate with our pets; verbally, physically, emotionally, energetically and with our facial expressions, voice and touch. Many times, your pets can decipher what mood you are in simply by just watching your face and reading your energy.

  • Are you smiling and laughing – Good Mood

  • Are you angry and frustrated – Bad Mood

  • Are you lethargic and staring out the window – Blue Mood

  • Are you repressing or suppressing emotions or experiences – Fake Happy Mood

Haven’t you noticed how your pets react based on your facial expressions and your energy? They can see by looking into your eyes exactly what’s going on with you. They watch your body language too. Their sense of smell is far keener than ours, and they use it as an early warning system. In fact, they can even tell when you are sick before you can.

Your animals are very intuitive to your vibrational and energy fields. This is why when you are feeling low and depressed, they are right there cuddling next to you letting you know they are there for you. They are always in-tune with your emotional state, whether you know this or not. You can also learn to tap into their healing powers by simply being present with them. A cat’s purr is very healing, or a dog lying on or next to you when you feel ill.

However, this kinship with your pet goes both ways. As you are in need of unconditional love, reassurance, and acceptance, so too are they.

  • Show them you care by your actions.

  • Show them you care with a smile.

  • Show them you care with a snuggle.

  • Show them you care by taking care of yourself.

A smile goes a long way for your pet. This tells them you are happy, which in turn makes them happy. The next time you aren’t feeling well allow your pet to be there for you. The next time you are frustrated by the day, allow your pet to cuddle with you and let you know this too will pass.

The next time you feel lonely or unappreciated, allow your pet to show you how much they care. These are all perfect examples of how our pets mirror reflects what is going on with us. That’s why they are such ‘naturals’ at Tandem Energy Healing.

Our pets accept us no matter who we are. Not a pet owner? Maybe it’s time you experienced the bond that every pet owner does. Full unconditional love.

Let your pet know how much you care with a cuddle and a smile.
