In this series we talk with pets, whose names have been changed, to see what they have to say. Here is an interesting pet psychic reading that we gave.

Halley and Buck sit for their pet psychic reading with Greg Meyerhoff and Anne Salisbury.

Question: Can you tell me about my dog? I found her at the shelter nine months ago when she was about a year old.

Anne & Greg: Halley, the dark faced dog, says that she likes to run a lot. She says she always has. She is showing us the image of her running with horses. The wind is in her face, and she is loving it. This is who she truly is. This is how she sees herself.

Owner: That is true. She does love running – she actually runs with my horses. The problem is that I am concerned that she is going to be stepped on when she gets under foot.

Anne & Greg: Well, Halley is only paying attention to the wind in her face. So your concern that she could be stepped on is valid. When she is running it looks as though she is not paying enough attention to the horses. If, however, she could focus more on being in flow with the horses and the wind, rather than just focusing on herself, then she would be fine. But when she is only paying attention to the wind and not the horses, then it could be potentially dangerous.

Here is a possible solution. Halley is saying that she does not see herself as an equal to others. She sees herself in a one down position. This is because your other dog, Buck, has told her that she is less than his equal. And Halley believed Buck. She also sees the horses as more important than she is. This is the problem.

Owner: I have worked with horses for so long that they have become my focus. And yes, Buck is the alpha male. He does boss Halley.

Anne & Greg: We need your help now in seeing all your animals as equally important and loved in your family, even though they have different roles. We need for Halley to see herself as an equal to Buck and to the horses so that she can be in flow with them.

We are showing Halley the image that she is equal to Buck and the horses. Buck doesn’t like our doing this – we will talk with him in a minute. For now, we need to show Halley the image that she is their equal. If she believes in herself more, she will pay better attention to her surroundings and keep herself safe. You only get hurt when you feel a bit like a victim who is unaware of your circumstances.

Anne & Greg’s Summary: Pets can get distracted in their actions just as humans can. When we are talking on the phone while driving the car, we have a higher chance of getting into an accident. We are distracted. Halley gets distracted while running. She could easily be hurt under the horses' feet. Yet, she liked running so much that she was oblivious to the danger.

Family animals and pets can notice a hierarchy of love and attention. If you see riding as your priority, then your horses may feel they are more important than your dogs. If one dog can get away with bullying another, then he can place himself into the hierarchy above the other dog. It is up to us, the humans on top of this survival scale, to manage the group. We can show them the image that they are equally loved, no matter what their role might be.

When Halley feels like an equal, she naturally keeps herself safe. It is only when she sees herself as a victim (less loved) that she places herself in potential danger. As an equal, she claims her rightful space, is more aware and moves in flow with her surroundings, such as do the horses. You cannot be in flow with someone if you do not see yourself as equal. When you see yourself in a one-down position, then you are in danger of being hurt or victimized.

Question: Why does my other dog either go after or fear young children? When I found him at the shelter he was on death row, so I don’t know his background.

Anne & Greg: Buck, the white-faced dog, is showing us the image that young blond children need to be put in their place. He considers those children to be beneath him. That is Buck’s opinion. He considers himself to be an alpha male and superior to many people and animals. Sometimes he comes across those who are bigger or better than he is. But he wants to feel superior, and he feels he can do this with most children and animals. He puts others down in order to feel important.

Owner: Yes, I understand.

Anne & Greg: So here is an exercise for Buck. Let’s show him the image that everybody is connected through love, even though they may appear less than he is on his superiority scale. Let’s add a song to the mix now. Imaging singing the song, “We are the world, we are the children.” See everyone in a circle holding hands and feeling loving thoughts towards everyone. Now, lets invite Buck into the circle and let him feel the love.

Well, Buck is arguing with us now. This is good – he is engaged in the conversation and considering his options. The image he is challenging us with now is that there is a hierarchy. The horses come first, then the dogs and then the children. We want to show him a portrait of all the horses, dogs, children and adults in a family portrait where they are all loved. There is plenty of love to go around. Everyone is equal in love.

Anne & Greg’s Summary: If Buck felt OK about himself, he would not need to feel superior to children or animals. He would not need to judge them and place them in a hierarchy so that he can feel better. You only do that when you feel insecure and fearful. So we want to help him love himself more.
