Book Description
Our animals show us unconditional love in its purest form. They are our most loyal companions, constantly navigating our energy to support our needs. This is something Pamela Robins experienced on a profound level when she was faced with a relentless series of major life challenges, including the death of her mother, her own cancer diagnosis, a divorce, and letting go of her life as she knew it in order to find herself. Her animals were instrumental in getting her through it all. Recognizing how hard they were working to comfort and heal her, Pamela worried their their efforts could be depleting them of their own health and vitality. When she was strong again she wanted to return to them the extraordinary gifts they had given her. And so it was that the Animal MethodTM was born--a practice graciously given to Pamela by her beloved animal companions that is based on the idea of consciously recycling positive, healing energy between humans and animals. It involves mindfully observing and learning from your animal, taking cues from their natural state of being, and applying that wisdom to your own way of being. This method is beautifully described in Meditating with Animals. In it you'll also read inspiring animal stories and learn about the countless health and life benefits that result from having a deeper, more compassionate connection with an animal. And each chapter offers a meditation exercise that is specially designed to help you embrace a different aspect of the Animal Method. Meditating with Animals was written with the hope of helping you see more clearly the teacher, the healer, the magical being who is right there at your feet--and the one also within you. We can learn so much from animals when we take the time to be still with them and observe. The animals in my life have taught me about love, compassion and remembrance. Meditating with Animals is a beautiful exploration of how animals enrich our lives and how we can better return that gift to them. This is a very important book that will touch many lives. --Dr. Tererai Trent, Oprah Winfrey's "All-Time Favorite Guest" This is a powerfully inspirational book that is filled with wisdom and love. As a neuroscientist I have researched the therapeutic relationship between horse and human, as well as witnessed the interaction between therapy dogs and children in my clinic. I have also experienced firsthand the heart-warming energetic exchange and healing love that animals provide in our world. This book artfully shows the power our animals offer to us. They unselfishly give of their power within to awaken our connection with them. Meditating with Animals will gladden your heart and provide insight for tapping into the healing love animals so generously offer to us. It is a MUST READ if you love animals! --Jeffrey L. Fannin, PhD
