I definitely agree that animals can sense energy from the person/s and the surrounding environment. Animals, I do believe, live in the present. Whether it's a cat laying there sun bathing, taking it all in, a dog chasing a ball, a cat eating, or even a cat cleaning themself, there always just right 'here'. Animals have the great ability to always love unconditionally no matter what was said/done in the past. Sure there are cases of heavy animal abuse and the resulting dog is a nightmare, but the dog can always be rehabilitated through calm-assertiveness and being the leader in the animals life. These two things combined with the fact that the animal always chooses to live in the present results in an animal working itself back in to it's natural state of being in the present and full of unconditional love n' devotion.
My girlfriends cats absolutely love me. Two of the four cats are a mix of outdoor and indoor, and when im driving down her street i can typically see one or both of them running from opposite ends of the neighborhood to be sitting there when i open my car door. :}
Purrin a storm, they rub n' push there way between my legs like a figure 8 as i walk to the door. Such majestic creatures.
I remember yesterday I was in the kitchen and my girlfriends black lab jumped up on the couch and was just laying there. My lady goes in there "jack, get down!, jack getttt dooownnn!" repeatedly flailing her arms in various directions trying to somewhat coax the dog off the couch. She attempted to grab his collar and pull him off, only to her demise, he attempted to transform himself into a sack of potatoes. He wasn't budging. I end up walking in there, calmly, not timid, as a 'leader', 'knowing' in my head that this dog would come off the couch easily. I gently walk over look at him. I 'know' that he 'knows'. He senses me and what I need him to do. I step to the side, and with a light snap of my fingers he immediately barrels off the couch and goes to lay down on hus blanket.
"Ohh sure! Mr. dog man all good with the animals, sure, just get him off the couch!!" She mumbles some other things under her breath, but i couldn't recall hehe. I really do recommend the "Dog Whisperer" book by Cesar Milan. I know some people might have seen the show. His book is excellently written. The guy really knows how to rehabilitate/recalibrate animals and work with them. I learned alot from reading only s few chapters. First off in his book he in in complete alignment with the premise that animals are extremely sensitive to surrounding energies and tend to mirror back what they are receiving. It's all about calm-assertive energy and being the pack leader (at least for dogs) as dogs descended and still have the ingrained pack mentality. They look for calm assertive leadership and affection. That's really all they need from you and they return their gift to you as your life long loving companion.
This book works with dog/animals yes, but it's also been a great extension to my daily life and interacting with people. Much the same premise when dealing with human interaction, as far as calm assertive energy goes.
End rant.
much love,
