READINGS
These are readings from my client list that are a realistic indicator of the kind of reading you may expect. Whether the reading is just about saying 'hello', or addressing an unwanted behaviour, I hope it is always an enlightening and enriching experience.
Bowie
There were no issues with Bowie, so this reading was just to ask if there was any more her humans, Clare and Chris could do for her.
I connected briefly to let her know that soon I would be chatting to her, and to think of anything she wanted. Immediately she shouted: Fish fingers!!!
What I loved about this reading is that it shows that humans may not immediately understand what the animal is giving them. The reading may make no sense to me or the humans. But so often the penny will drop days or even weeks later, and all becomes clear!
This is an edited account of my reading with Bowie.
How are you little Bowie?
I’m not little am I?
Oh no, you’re just right. I only meant it as a term of endearment.
I AM quite little. I don’t mind. I’m cwtchy!*
You are and they all love a cwtch Bowie. You're very loved. Chris wanted me to ask you if there was any more they could do for you. Apart from fish fingers of course!
There’s something purple in the bedroom. I think she would like to have that or lie on it. Is she not allowed?
Do you have a message for Chris and Clare?
I love the music when we all swing together. Life is good.
Aww I’m glad you feel that Bowie. Life IS good.
I’m a magical cat.
She tells me this like it’s a big secret
In what way?
I just sit there and people feel better.
You mean out the front of the house?
Yes. That’s my place and my work. My sphere extends several houses in both directions. I see people coming and then they see me and they smile or I can feel their hearts lift up. Sometimes I let them touch me and they are happy all day long.
Wow, you are doing God’s work there Bowie.
Yep. I am happy to do it. It is happy for me too. It’s very simple.
You keep it up sweetie. Thank you for chatting to me.
*Cwtchy means 'cuddly' in Welsh.
FEEDBACK
Our session with Belle was one of the most moving, joyful and surprising experiences we've ever had as pet parents. She connected with our beloved cat, Bowie, and shared things that were so specific, unexpected and accurate that we were amazed - and deeply touched.
When Bowie demanded fish fingers, we cooked her fish fingers but she refused them! So we were stumped. Then it clicked: we'd recently stopped buying her salmon-stick treats - the only treat she would eat straight from our hand, as we waggled them between our fingers. When we brought them back, she went wild with excitement!
Even more mysterious was the 'something purple' in the bedroom. Bowie's allowed everywhere, so we couldn't work out what this could be - until a few weeks later when I took out some gym clothes from under the bed where they are kept in a PURPLE BOX! This is literally the only place Bowie is not allowed to dig and nest, as she claws the delicate fabrics while 'nesting'.
Belinda was unaware that Bowie always comes close when we play jazz, and seems to love it. Or that she does what we jokingly call 'a shift' on the front wall every day, where she enjoys a fuss from her 'regulars'. She obviously sees herself as a cat with a job to lift people's hearts, and it fills us with such pride and happiness.
We can't thank Belle enough for this extraordinary experience. It was funny, enlightening, healing, and genuinely magical. If you are even slightly curious about animal communication, we can't recommend her highly enough. Your animal will speak, and you will never forget what they have to say.
Love, Clare, Chris and Bowie. x
DAXIE
Daxie's human, Carla, asked for help with Daxie's constant territorial barking at visitors, particularly the nanny and the gardener. Daxie set off his younger friend Franky, so I decided to speak to him alone about the issue...
Hello Daxie. Carla asked me to come and speak to you. How are you?
Daxie looks at me suspiciously.
Are you worried about me being here?
Yes. It’s off.
I’m sorry to spring it on you like this sweetheart. I mean no harm. Carla is a bit concerned about you and Franky and she hopes I can help.
Help with what?
She would like to know why you bark at the nanny and the gardener.
They need to beware.
Beware of what?
Beware of ME!
Why is that?
I don’t like them.
Why not?
They’re in my house and they don’t belong here.
Well it’s Carla’s house too and she likes them being there.
I don’t get it. (He’s confused about this)
Well you all live in the house. You all share the house. And it’s good to socialise and to invite people into the house—
No, it’s my space! They need to keep out!
It’s your space, yes, but you already share it with Carla and the family. Don’t you?
That’s different.
How is it different?
Dax thinks.
Well they’re not family.
No that’s true but they’re invited guests in your space and it’s good to be polite to invited guests.
Why?
Because it makes everybody feel at ease. Not just Carla and your family but the guests as well. As you can see by me being here – I’m not family but the fact I’m talking with you shows that we are all connected to each other’s souls, and you are connected to every soul who comes to the house in friendship. Don’t you think that makes it okay to be welcoming to everyone who is there as a friend or to do a job, and who means you no harm?
Dax makes a face.
Franky barks too. It’s not just me.
I know he does. But you’re the leader aren’t you?
Yes I am.
Do you think maybe Franky barks because he wants to follow your lead?
Maybe
I think so. And I also think that if you wanted to, you could stop barking at the wrong people and you could also teach Franky not to bark at the wrong people.
Maybe. Who are the right people to bark at?
Well I know you are excellent at barking when someone comes to the door and that’s just fine. That’s your job. But once someone is invited into your home and they mean no harm, then it’s polite to stop barking and settle down so that they feel welcome and Carla feels relaxed and happy.
I get excited though.
Yes I bet it is exciting to bark. But not to KEEP barking. Barking a little is fine – barking a lot is kinda meaningless, don’t you think? You’re not helping then, only being a bit hysterical.
Daxie laughs at that. I thought he’d be annoyed but actually he recognises himself.
Yes okay. But it’s a habit and I’m not sure I can just QUIT.
Cold turkey?
Yes cold turkey!
Well Carla tells me you’re both clever boys, so my money is on you being able to do this. Are you going to do your best?
I ALWAYS do my best!
Yes I think you do. And could you please help Franky to do his best too?
I will try.
Oh, and when the man next door looks over the fence to say hello, please do your best not to bark at him.
Why?
Well I think it hurts his feelings when you bark at him and all he wants to do is say hello.
But his head bobs about and it looks like a ball and I get excited.
Haha I can see that! But here is a trick you can try instead. When you’ve said hello with a bark or two, you can continue to show your excitement by wagging your tail very hard. Everybody loves a dog with a waggy tail, and they will be so happy to see you wagging, instead of frightened and sad because you keep barking.
I like it when they’re a bit frightened!
Well it’s good to frighten bad people but most people and dogs are lovely and kind and only want to be your friend if you would let them. But when you keep barking, they don’t get a chance to get to know you and you don’t get a chance to get to know them. Wouldn’t you rather have lots of friends in the world instead of frightening everybody away?
Yes I would.
So be a sweetheart and practise not barking – especially at the nanny and the gardener and the neighbours. Your life will be so much happier and you will make Carla happy too. Could you do that for Carla?
I think so.
And please help Franky. He looks up to you and if you stop, he will stop too. Can you help Franky?
He listens to me.
Of course. You’re his big brother.
Okay then.
Thank you Daxie.
August, 25 Update from Carla
She said: They ARE barking less - but sometimes they still just like to irritate me. HUGE progress is Daxie now sits on the previously-hated nanny’s lap and plays with her!
Daxie follow-up August, 25. This was not a paid-for reading - I just wanted to congratulate Daxie and Franky.
WOW Well done Daxie! I’m so proud of you and so is Carla. And that you have helped Franky too!
I know. We are good dogs!
She says sometimes you still bark just to irritate her?
Nooooo!! Sometimes it’s just fun to let rip!
Lol I hear ya – but so do allll the neighbours. Try to let rip when you’re somewhere away from the house, like the beach ok?
OK Thank you for the praise. We tried really hard.
You must have. I’m insanely proud of you. To hear that you even sit on the nanny’s lap now is spectacular news.
Yes she’s not as bad as I thought.
LOL! Love to you Daxie
