Bonding with the animal kingdom

What's the easier way of connecting with an animal? Well, it's actually tricky, because the more you try to rationalize it, the tougher it gets. The more you think about it, the more your energy gets dense and confusing, and animals pick up our energy traits as fast as they breathe. Sometimes, even faster. Have you noticed sometimes the connection happens instantly?

All of a sudden is as if both of you have known each other since forever and been best friends ever since, and that is because you didn't have the time to question your ability on establishing the bond or the best way to look friendly to the animal's eyes. It just happened because you were just being yourself, and not trying to fit anyone else's expectations.

(...) The more you try to rationalize it, the tougher it gets.

Ironically, the best way of connecting with an animal is to feel good about yourself and trusting you are worth the connection. You must also be willing to give the animal space he may need to figure out if he trusts you or not. Otherwise, your anxiety will stand out and your friend to be will be driven away from you. And this is one of the major reasons I love animals so much, they can read us instantly and by reacting to our energy, they lead us to focus on our greatest potential.

This is why connecting with the animals we love relaxes us and make us grow as human beings. The better your connection with yourself, the better you will fully enjoy the company of the animals in your life. Even though animals can ultimately understand the meaning of a few to a few hundred human words, that's not how we communicate. You can give an animal an order or he can be used to hear a specific word he associates to dinner time or bedtime but that's just a conditioned response, not communication. Our meaningful communication with the animal kingdom happens within, and it's all about energy and body language. It's all about loving yourself and respecting yourself so animals can mirror those traits right back at you. And that's why every animal is a potential healer. We just need to listen to them from a peaceful heart.
