Where Do Pet’s Go When They Die?

The loss of a pet can be just as dramatic as losing a human being. Did you notice that I did not say “family member”? This is because most people with pets consider their pets as family.

Animals have their own personalities, as do humans and that’s why pets are such great companions. There can be a very strong connection between both human and pets. We both have our likes and dislikes and our routines. Pets know our moods and how to comfort and we comfort pets in times of stress as well. Hey, people even dress pets and paint their nails! Yes, I can say my youngest child the other year painted our guinea pigs nails and our dog’s as well. It was a safe non-toxic polish and of course bright pink!

When humans pass, it’s usually tradition to celebrate the life of that loved one and of course grieve in our own way. This is usually done at funeral service.

There are services and pet cemeteries for our pets too. It is a way of respect for saying thanks to our pets and like humans; it’s to celebrate and aid in the grieving process as well.

So having said that, if humans pass and become a spirit or to heaven; why would it be any different for animals?

If you look at humans and animals passing, we both go in similar ways. It may be from illness, accident, old age or unexpected situations. I’m not saying we are animals but we both have organs, systems and anatomy that need to work properly in order to live. When one or all shut down, that’s when both species pass.

So I like to call the human or animal bodies, vessels. They body or vessel serves our purpose to hold our spirit while on earth. When we no longer need these vessels our spirit leaves the vessel and becomes a spirit that crosses the veil in to heaven or the universe. Heaven is all around us. This is why some people say after a pet has passed, they hear noises or feel like their dog or cat jumped on their couch. Well, they most likely did.

So when you lose a pet, they are still here in spirit. If you feel that you hear them or see them out of the corner of your eye, remember to say “Hi. They can hear you and are stopping in to say “Hi” and visit.

Have you ever felt that your pet that had passed has come back to visit you? What happened and what did you do about it? Drop me a line in the comments or email me at karen@channeled-wisdom.com

Tick Tock It’s Spirit O’Clock

What is the best time of day to connect with Spirit?

This is a question many wonder about.

Any time of day is a good time, however, there are times when we are more receptive than others.

1. Asleep

It’s true. We are most receptive to Spirit and their messages when we are asleep. It is because we are totally relaxed and don’t have any barriers up to block Spirit. This is why many people dream of loved ones who have passed.

You can also meet your own Spirit Guide in sleep. Simply state your intent (read more about Setting Intent) before you go to sleep and your Guide will appear in your dreams.

2. Falling Asleep

When you are falling asleep, you are very relaxed and therefore very open to Spirit. Spirit will visit using images, colours, words, and physical sensations.

Think about it for a moment and you will probably realize you’ve had this experience: Have you ever been drifting off to sleep and seen a face you don’t recognize? Or felt tingles on the top of your head? Or smelled a particular scent that reminds you of someone?

Here is another opportunity to ask to connect with Spirit. Just before you go to bed invite Spirit to visit. Then as you are falling asleep, note what or who comes through.

3. During or After a Meditation

We are relaxed, in a safe and quiet place and inwardly focused during and right after meditating. This is another optimal condition and time to connect with Spirit.

To connect with Spirit through meditation, use our tips.

All of this takes practice so please don’t give up if feel like you haven’t connected on the first go. Be patient!

Learn To Connect With Your Personal Animal Totem

Do you ever feel like you see pictures or items of the same animal everywhere you turn?

You watch TV and up pops the same animal. It’s on posters and books or you dream about it.

I spoke in my last blog about what an Animal Totem is. In brief to remind you: An Animal Totem is another type of a Guide we have with us throughout our lives. The purpose of the animal totem is different for each person. They help us get through different situations we endure throughout our lives.

So if we have this guidance, why can’t we tap into it and use it first hand?

Great news!! You can! And I am going to help you learn how to do just that in this blog.

So first I want you to think of anytime when you have had the same animal pop up several times. Now if you have not had this happen, can you think of a specific animal that you feel like you have a connection to? If you still say “nope, I can’t or I don’t”, that’s ok I can still help you find it out what animal it is.

So the next step in connection with your Animal Totem or finding out what animal it is by meditating on it. Now, I can hear some of you. Ah, I don’t have time to meditate or I can’t meditate. Well how about give yourself 5 minutes of quiet time where you can just sit down with quiet around you. Five minutes people, that’s all. You can do it. You never know how much this new found friend will help you along your journey.

I think we are all ready to get started with this. So let’s go meet your Animal guide. Yes, Animal Totem and Animal Guides is the same thing.

Find a comfortable seat where you can relax. Next, you can close your eyes or keep them open, which ever one you feel more comfortable with.

Now, let go of all your day’s thoughts, agendas, to do lists. Let go of anything that no longer serves you at this time. Deep breaths in and exhaling it slowly. Letting go, knowing that you are on a new journey right now ready to meet your animal guide.

I want you to picture yourself barefoot, in the desert. No one else is around. Just you; knowing you are coming closer to meet your animal guide.

You breathe in and out slowly, totally relaxing your whole body. You are still picturing yourself standing in the desert.

You notice a door in the middle of nowhere. You slowly walk over to it knowing it is a safe door where only good will come of it. There is nothing to fear or worry about.

You slowly walk over to that door. The door opens and there is a staircase below.
You take one step at a time and there are ten steps to the bottom. You slowly take one step at a time counting down the steps. 10, 9, 8, 7,6,5,4,3,2,1. You are on the bottom step. As you step down on the floor there is a faint light in the distance.

You look towards it, to see what is there. You notice that there is something there.

Walk closer towards it. Stop when you have to if you are feeling overwhelmed. There is no rush.

There will be a point when you feel that you are good and no need to get closer. When you reach this point, take another deep breath in and release it.

Carefully take a look at it. What is it?

What animal, insect or mammal is it?

This is the time you can now observe what it is.

There is no rush. Just enjoy the moment and connect with it.

When you are ready, thank this animal for coming forward and know that this is your animal totem and guide.

Slowly turn around and start walking towards the stairs where you will head back up them.

You will count the stairs are you go up. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. You are at the top.

The door opens and you take a deep breath in and out. You are ready to step out the door. As you walk out the door closes behind you.

You now walk away from the door remembering your experience.

Open your eyes when you are ready to. Deep breath in and out.

WOW!! Amazing. I can’t wait to hear who your totems are! Drop me a line at Karen@channeled-wisdom.com or leave a comment below.

Where is Spirit?

Here, There and Everywhere!

In the middle of a channeling session, my Spirit Guide, Stephen, said to my client “I will be with you to help you”.

Afterwards I thought “Whaaat? Wait a minute. Stephen is my guide, how can he be somewhere else? Especially when I can feel him with me all the time????”

Oh, how naïve I was at first. I was attributing human characteristics to Spirit. We can’t be in two places at once so I figured they couldn’t either. Thankfully they didn’t laugh at my ignorance.

Just like Spirit isn’t bound to any particular form (see my earlier blog about this), Spirit isn’t bound to time or place, either. While Spirit visits us in our dimension, they aren’t bound by our conventions.

A spirit can be in many places at once.

For example, my Mom watches over my siblings, my nieces and me. She doesn’t divide her time between us; rather she is with each one of us at all times.

Spirit can also guide more than one person at a time.

They may show up in similar form and using the same name – like the Archangels – or they may take different names based on what the person needs.

Once one of my friend’s Guides, Harold, showed up as one of my client’s Guides but gave his name as Alex. I was rather surprised at the time. When my friend and I asked Harold about it, he explained that he has many facets and shows the side of himself that is needed by the person he is with. And that he may take a different name especially for that person.

I’m no longer bothered that Stephen is with others. In fact, I’m glad to know that they are receiving his help. He’s taught me how to truly share 😉

Guided With The Grace Of An Animal Totem

If you have read our past blogs, we blogged about how we all have a Spirit Guide(s). We also explained what a spirit guide is. Now we want to add Animal Totems to the mix.

An Animal Totem is another type of a Guide we have with us throughout our lives. The purpose of the animal totem is different for each person. With this one animal a connection is shared, either through interest in the animal, dreams, or other interaction.

Webster’s Dictionary defines a totem as: “A natural object, usually an animal that serves as a distinctive, often venerated emblem or symbol. A means of personal or spiritual identity.”

A totem is a spirit being, sacred object, or symbol of a tribe, family or individual. Tradition of the Native American states that each person is connected with nine different animals that will accompany each of us through life, acting as guides.

Different animal guides come in and out of our lives depending on the direction that we are headed and there are different tasks that are need to be completed along our life journey. Thus, different animal guide for our different progress through life.

These Animal Guides offers power and wisdom to us all when we “communicate” with them, and we show them respect and trust. These animal totems are there for us to take journeys with them to get to know them and in return they help us along the way. They help pave the path and help guide us with a clear vision.

For some, knowing what is their totem animal is almost an innate process. It’s as if they’ve always known or had a connection to a particular animal and they just feel a connection to them.

Some people are curious to know about their animal totem and see a spiritual teacher or Intuitive to help them discover their animal.

Once you know your animal guide and their reasoning for them being present in your life at that time, you can use them to help you with your journey.

If you are aware of your guide there are many great books and website that have the meaning of the different animal totems. It truly is wild to see the meaning and put it in prospective with what is going on in your life and what you need at that time.

It’s so reassuring how we have so much support and guidance when all we have to do is just ask!

What’s your animal totem and does it fit you at this time in your life? Drop me a line at Karen@channeled-wisdom.com

Close Encounters of the Spirit Kind

“That is just weird.”

This is how one of my sisters responded when I told her I had Spirit Guide and could feel him as tingles on my left arm.

As negative responses go, it was on the mild side. But if this was the response I got from my sister, what would friends, colleagues and professional acquaintances say when I told them I was leaving a career in executive search to practice as an Intuitive?

No one likes rejection.

Isn’t this what we all fear? An adverse response when we share our experiences with Spirit. That we are going to be labeled as “woo woo” or worse.

I think this is why Spirit isn’t part of our everyday conversation. Who wants to take the chance of sharing experiences and/or beliefs, only to be mocked?

Put aside the fear.

In the early days, when I was practicing part time, I worried A LOT about what to tell people about what I was doing. And how people would react when I told them I was starting a Channeling business.

After I witnessed many of the profound benefits Channeling was offering my clients, I ceased to care about what others would think. I knew what I offered brought a lot of comfort, peace and joy to people and that is what became important.

You will be surprised.

When I left the corporate world, I was honest with my colleagues, clients and candidates. I told them that I was starting a business channeling Spirit.

90% of the response was positive. They wished me well. Some shared their own experience with Spirit. Some wanted appointments. And these were senior business executives – not the type you might expect to be believers.

It taught me that you never know who is open to Spirit – because it’s not a mainstream topic of conversation – but if you initiate a dialogue, you are going to find more people believe than you think.

Start a conversation about Spirit.

I think the more we talk about the Spirit Realm and our experiences, the better off we will be. Like with mental health, it will take away the stigma and our spiritual, mental and emotional health will benefit.

I challenge you to start one conversation with someone you know. And then tell us about how it went.

3 Tips To Increase Your Intuition

So you say; Wow that was a coincidence or I knew that was going to happen.

So coincidence or Intuition?

You got it, Intuition. We are born with intuition and it’s free to access.

So why don’t we use it? Why don’t we keep it up?

It’s called our EGO that we bring aboard and set our higher self and Intuition to the side.  So I want to give you a couple tips on how to use your intuition so you can start using it again.

Using you intuition with build your confidence and make you feel more solid on decisions you make in your everyday life. Ha, and there will be no need to listen to everyone else make decisions for you.

How great will that feel? Making your own decisions and feeling confident you made a decision yourself. It will also help build your self-esteem and confidence.

It will be the new you! Believe me people will notice the change.

Here are your 3 tips:

1. When tapping into your Intuition at first you are going to want to start off with smaller decisions. As you build up on your confidence and trust; you can then use your intuition for anything.

2. When you first starting listening to your intuition you will find you will hear an answer then another one will pop in. This is you second guessing and your Ego jumping in. This is the tricky part that takes practice. But listen to the first thought, not the second one. Practice, practice, practice and don’t get frustrated.

3. Practice makes perfect. Well I don’t expect you to be perfect. But there is discipline in this. You need to use your intuition daily and you need to start with the smaller stuff and move up. Don’t get flustered. Trust in yourself and build confidence and keep practicing. Before you know it, you will be a pro!

Do You Believe In Bad Spirits?

There is a lot of back and forth conversation about bad Spirit’s.

Let me ask you. Do you believe in bad Spirits?
And if you do, where does this belief come from?

Did you answer, it came from the television and internet or someone else had an experience??

What about your experiences? Why are you letting others fear driven thoughts into your thinking?

I believe everyone is open to have their own thoughts and beliefs. But when we over-think and over- analyze something we are coming from a fear-based thought. When we are in fear, it usually is not a true one or good one.

This is why some people believe there are bad spirits.

For my own personal beliefs, I do not believe in bad spirits. I believe there are lost, confused or upset spirits. Here are a couple reasons I Believe this:

We need to go way back and look at the veil above us where spirit would pass through. Many years ago, when the veil between our world and the spirit realm was thick, it was hard for spirit to pass through. This lead to some spirits getting lost here as they couldn’t pass through the veil.

When we encountered them, we reacted with fear. Other times, some spirits would be confused and feel they didn’t die. They would remain in their house and could not understand why someone else was living there. They then would make noises or move things to draw attention.

Fast-forward the years by and the veil has become very thin. Allowing for spirit to pass with ease through it. Not as many spirit left wandering around here. That means less experience with spirit.

Another reason is a spirit that may be in not so good of a place. Yes, spirits do have personalities just like they did here on earth. I have encountered a spirit that had a darker feel to its energy because it was upset over his actions here on earth. The spirit seemed to give off a darker feel. This spirit was not bad, just upset until I connected with him to see why he was in this state. After the connection the energy calmed and he went away.

So next time you think you are around a bad spirit, just thank it for making its presence known and tell spirit to go cross over as they are no longer needed here.

Have you encountered a spirit? How did it feel and what did you do about it? Let me know!

Share this with your friends and family.

Getting Ready for Your Channeling Session

Be open to Spirit’s messages

An open heart and mind enable the messages to flow more freely and easily. If you are closed off or worrying about what you will hear, it can cause the energy and messages from Spirit to come through slowly.

Put away your expectations

Spirit knows exactly what you information you need at the time of your session. You may come hoping for specific answers or information – which you may or may not get. If you have a certain outcome in mind that doesn’t materialize you may overlook or discount important messages.

Prepare questions

You may wonder why you need to prepare questions if Spirit knows what you need to hear. This is because part of your growth comes in articulating what you want guidance on. If this is the case, Spirit will prompt you for your questions during your session. Or not. If articulating your questions isn’t part of your growth or you don’t have any specific questions, Spirit will provide messages without them.

Relax

Sit back and take in what Spirit offers you. We record sessions so there is no need to worry about trying to remember what messages come through or to write them down.

Remember that the guidance is offered to you in your best interest and relates to this particular time of your life. You will only receive information you are ready for. If you want to ignore the guidance provided, you are free to do so.

Reflect

Give yourself time after your session to process the information you have received. You may want to journal about it, reflect on it with a walk or a run, or share it with a loved one. However you process things, do give yourself the time.

KARMA……Is It Out To Get YOU?

Have you ever used the term “Karma will get you” or “Karma’s a BI*$@”?

Well, I’m sure we have all used them. But do you really believe in Karma or know what it is?

I find this is the biggest problem. People hear the good old traditions from others using different terminologies and have no clue what they mean or how powerful the words outcome can be.

So what does Karma mean to you? And how have you used it in a sentence?

Karma is the law of moral causation. Another way to look at it is the law of cause and effect.

It is the principal of intent and actions of an individual’s influence for a future outcome.

Good actions and deeds that you strive for and put forth into the universe will have good end results. Therefore, good Karma.

Now if your intent is set forth in the universe with bad deeds and suffering and dark thoughts then that’s what you should expect back from Karma.

With all that being said, this is where results can be noticed from our past actions and present doings. We do however have the choice to change our patterns and habits. But that’s not to say something from the past will not still show up in the future. If it does show up, you need to ask yourself how are you going to handle it and deal with it. This does give us the strength to rise above, to hopefully have a more positive outcome. Or see it in a different light.

To sum it all up; we create our own Karma: our own cause and effect. Karma is neither fate nor imposed upon us by someone else or some mysterious power. It is one’s own doing reacting on oneself and as mentioned above you have the possibility to divert the course of Karma to some extent. It all depends on you.

So how will you write your Karma story?
