Illuminate Your Pathway and Forge Soul with Animal Medicine
I am frequently overwhelmed by the sheer beauty, perfection, and awesome majesty of animals. They were surely put here as our teachers, revealing to us how to forge beingness, and to blend with the naturalness of life. When we most need it, if we're awake and aware, then animals will come to us, appear on our path, and reflect the next iteration of being, that we are meant to embody. Let's explore.

Animals are our Teachers and Guides
It's so often the case, that where I hit a blockage on the path, not knowing how to progress forwards, that an animal will show up to guide the way. The question is, how does this "Animal Medicine" speak? What is it saying to us and how do we best interpret it?
All manner of spiritual teachings will say one creature "means exactly this". Animal cards will tell you they "mean exactly that". And there may be some degree of truth in what they say. However, for me, it's all about metaphor and interpretation. Animals can speak into your beingness, inviting you to unleash a new aspect of you. Because when stuck or uncertain about the next step, it's always a new aspect of beingness you're looking. This will shape the way, and unblock the path.
So the key is to witness what animals show up on your path, even metaphorically through signs and symbols. Then to pause and ask: what aspect of beingness is that creature revealing to me now? What would it feel like to embody that? How could it help me through my current life situation?
Stay up to speed in the Shift, with leading-edge spiritual illumination...
What Can You Embody?
To provide an example: I've been finding it tough going in the field of late. My beingness feels like it's grinding down into and through the physical plane, so as to help earth the new energies that will transform the planet. At times it feels like carrying lead weights around my ankles. The mind tires, with its machinations, and sometimes the emotions weep.
If you're grinding down through such density, it's easy to disconnect from the lighter frequencies you know so well. But no worries. The animals were on hand to light the pathway...

I just purchased a new bird table, of solid stone, because the old one had broken. That hasn't stopped the tenacious badgers for one moment. At night, when they come up through the garden, I watch them reach up on hind legs, pull down the hefty stone top, which slides with a "thump", like some spaceship crashing down onto the ground beneath. Now it's the turn of the little rat, who scurries out to hoover up some scattered seeds. In the morning, when I replace the 'spaceship', the birds descend to get their morning feast: the blackbird, crow, pigeon, magpie, robin and bluetit. That is, until squirrel drops down out of the trees, and scatters them all, to gain some essential resources.
Every single one speaks to me: The Badger about commitment, drive and tenacity. The little rat, about thriving in difficult circumstances. Crow caws, telling me to watch the distortions in my shadowside. Magpie picks out the treasure amongst the dross. Pigeon reminds me of the Pleiadians. Robin is bold and bright. Bluetit is nimble, sharp, and darting. Squirrel tells me that resources are on their way - or to take care of them
Every single aspect speaks into my soul. Now is the question: how can I embody what I see and feel?
That's their tremendous language.
Guiding Devic Consciousness
To me, the reason Animal Medicine is so powerful, and can connect deeply into our souls, is because they are guided by a collectivised devic consciousness. It's a highly evolved angelic. One that's intimately tuned into the dance and the weave of life here on the planet.
This is especially important in the Shift, right now, as the energies transform in our Ascension to 5D. Everything is changing and terraforming. This devic consciousness, expressed by the animals, can light the way for us, when we call upon it.
What I find particularly refreshing, is that the language cannot be usurped by the Intervention. It's because the Deva is above it, interconnected with the divine grace of the planet, and where we're moving to.
Even though the Simulation expands across the surface of the planet, nevertheless, the resilience of nature is there to pierce through it, providing we're attentive and attuned to it.
Communicating with Animals
Talking to animals is not nearly as difficult as it may seem. We are certainly not speaking to a 'poor dumb creature'. Through the individual animal, we are speaking with a highly evolved being, that's moving and speaking into the Shift.
That's why if we really want an answer to a particular question in life, one of the best solutions is to ask an animal. Because they have no ego, no thought that is separate from the weave and naturalness of life - they have learned to flow with it. This is why the guiding Deva can coordinate synchronicity through animals to bring us the answer we need. A multidimensional consciousness landscape is woven for us to explore.
In fact the Deva already knows both the question and the answer before they arise in us. That's because she is not constrained by linear time. She's flowing from the place of all-knowing. That's why synchronicity involving animals is so omnipresent - they are here to be our teachers.
What is that creature, appearing on your path, saying to you today?

21/02/2025: The Power of Animal Medicine
As the Simulation goes into overdrive through the escalating grasp of technology, today I felt to draw attention to this article on "animal medicine". Because connections with animals can always be so powerful on the path - they remind us of the intrinsic energies of the soul. They shine a light through the complexity and darkness of society. So do read the article above, with wonderful insight into the nature of Squirrels.

Hi Open,
I really loved this article and found it especially poignant as I had an animal encounter just yesterday.
As I was out walking with my dog along a pathway, I saw a cat that had hold of something on the path leading off from the one I was walking.
The dog barked at the cat who then let go of its soon-to-be kill. It was a pigeon who hastily flew off into the trees, as the cat trotted off along its path.
The article refers to a metaphorical path but given that I saw this on a literal path, its speaking to me on a level that I haven’t been able to access and therefore interpret yet. A few ideas around it have come to mind but nothing feels as though it’s hit the meaning of it yet.
Any reflections welcome.
Thank you
Nikki 💕🙏

I am grateful for this article and the links you shared. I have always shared a special connection with animals and plants. My first awakening happened at the age of six, it was early summer and very early morning. I was outside watching two doves in the tree who were cooing at each other. All of a sudden I understood exactly what they were saying to each other and I began speaking with them. They told me about their life and I told them about mine. I was so excited that I ran in to tell my parents and sisters that I could understand what the doves were saying. My sisters laughed at me and made fun of me, my parents only looked very concerned and told me that it wasn't possible. My intuition continued opening during that year, and I had conversations with trees and plants and other animals. I realized that everything was connected and felt the pain when someone began chopping a tree down. I tried to explain what was happening to my family. They consulted with professionals, and it was finally decided that I needed psychological/psychiatric intervention. To stop that step from happening, I shut down completely. Intuitive information continued arriving; I tried to ignore it and never spoke about it again to anyone. My heart center began closing against humans, but remained open to animals and plants. I shut down partially against the other dimensions - I was never completely closed, and information continued to arrive, but I no longer acknowledged its source. I became a scientist, but always traveled along the edge between the dimensions. Ultimately, it was an abused black dog who brought me back to reawakening in 2007. He had many behaviors and difficulties I couldn't understand and work with. I sought professional help from vets and trainers. One day when we were working with a trainer in a park, the benevolence of creation arranged an encounter that was beyond fortuitous. We had worked with this trainer several times and she understood what we were going through. She began to suggest that she might know someone who might be able to help us, but she was hesitating to suggest it because she felt that I wouldn't be open. She was kind of dancing around the subject as we were walking along a path, and all of a sudden the person she was talking about just appeared in front of us. It was miraculous. Susan, the animal communicator. Susan and the woman spoke for a moment, and Susan said she never came to that park, but something drew her there that morning. She spoke with Zuki (my dog) for a moment, and said that she might be able to help us. And we began working with her. At the first session, she told me things she could only have learned from Zuki, and it was as if my whole life collapsed into a finely focused beam, and I had an intense memory of that summer morning decades ago when I spoke with the doves. And all of a sudden I realized that I was not insane, and that interspecies communication was real, and all the intuition I received my whole life was real. Susan helped us so much and she helped me to begin reawakening.
I have spent the past couple of days in an energetic resonance with Anna Breytenbach. Thank you so much for posting those links. I did not know of her work. I've watched the full documentary and some other available videos and lectures. She is a fully awakened being who we can all learn from. Thank you again for sharing her special gifts with us.

I too was shut down in childhood regarding animal and plant connections, which is now being reawakened of late. It is rather exciting. Their medicine is so pure and most helpful.
Much love
