Hindsight is 20/20: The Amazing Gifts We Receive From Animal Companions

Our pets are so much more than pets. They are companions, loving us unconditionally from the day they enter our lives, until the day they choose to move on. This transition allows us to continue our journey with their spiritual guidance. My own companions have taught me so much, supporting me through my periods of growth, the good times and the bad (although are they bad times or growing through our comfort zone into a more enlightened place?). They are our therapists, our doctors, and our best friends. They remain by our sides, opening our hearts to all the wonders of our lives.

As I continue with my own incredible journey, my animal guides have led me to be of service to others. This allows me to show people how the connection we have here on earth with our animals continues after we honor their request to transition on to the spirit world.

Response from a friend after Nira's passing: "I know this was a great passage for you. We all have these moments when we have the opportunity to see the world symbolically and to realize that everything we do and every relationship we enter are part of our spiritual growth and development. Nira gave you a great gift but remember that in learning what he had to share with you, you gave him a great gift also. Just like every healing you give you receive a healing, every lesson you teach you receive a lesson. Our Guides and Angels come in many shapes and forms and we are also part Guides and Angels when we listen and stay connect to our Divine Mind. Know also that he will always be with you as nothing can be destroyed only transformed. See you later Nira."
