Let"s Have A Chat!

Nicole Birkholzer

Your dog has separation anxiety. Whines, and cries every time you pick up your keys. Your new cat is fighting with your older cat, and one of them is not using the litter box. Your horse is shying at the mounting block when she used to stand like a statue. Living with animals enriches our lives in so many ways, yet when they are confused or unwell, their behaviors become our concern. The truth is, in order to make themselves known, our animals express themselves through quirky, and sometimes

#20 Going With The Flow

Let"s Have A Chat! ·

2022/05/04

Horses are energy sponges. When we stress because something is not going according to our plan — inclement weather, a muddy horse, a lost shoe — our horse not only picks up on it but is affected by it. When we resist what is, our horse becomes resistant, too. But, if we meet our horse in the now, with all the realities that encompass that very now, we’re literally guided to the best outcome possible. Listen in … I’ll show you how to turn mud and mayhem into serenity. Show notes available here:

#19 The Issue Stuck in the Tissue

2022/04/27

When the issue is stuck in the tissue it means that the animal’s body is stuck in a trigger mode. Imagine the animal’s point of view, the moment of shock when you are walking up to your person and all you see is a big boot that kicks you away. Or, the big dog that comes toward you with his furry posse, pushing you into a corner until you were cowering and shaking. These experiences leave a mark, a blueprint in your dog’s body. And the issue that is stuck in the tissue has usually two ways of

#18 Zoo Antics

Let"s Have A Chat! ·

2022/04/13

“An antelope broke its neck.” “A caretaker was injured by a tiger during feeding time.” “The habitat did not seem to be big enough to house all animals.” When you can’t hunt, can’t run, can’t fly, can’t swim like you were born to do, you don’t survive, you hang in. You wait for food. You get irritated. You snap. And then you are the felon. And you might get killed, or banned. Join me to look at Zoo Antics from the animal’s point of view.

The last episode “You're only a yawn away from relaxation,” really hit the spot with many of you which is super exciting. I feel it is important for me to shed even a little more light on the yawn because it is really important that we understand the power of it and also how we can undermine the power of the yawn.

There is no more significant gift you can give to your animal than your presence. No cookie, treat, or carrot will ever have the same frequency or meaning as you taking a breath to meet your animal in the now. Once you arrive in the now, use your senses to see and hear and smell and feel what your animal feels. Don't project, but start seeing the world through your animal's eyes. Express yourself verbally, and then take a breath and wait for a response from your furry or feathery friend. As you open

#11 Does My Animal Have A Purpose?

Let"s Have A Chat! ·

2022/02/02

For an animal to feel well and be joyous, we need to consider the whole animal: we need to nourish and honor its physical body, engage its mind in meaningful ways, allow for emotional connection and expression, and consider our animal’s spiritual gifts. Some animals have a specific purpose they are offering to their pack, herd, or people. Some animals care deeply for people and therefore offer their energy and wisdom to them.

#10 Being In Dialogue

2022/01/26

What a treat it is for your animal when you speak verbally with her or him. It clears up so much confusion. The animal doesn’t have to give it a hundred tries to find out what is allowed and what is not. Telling your animal what you need and praising what the animal does right provides clarity. But, many animals were never given a chance to respond to a verbal request. And that means, your cockatoo, pup, or kitty might initially be surprised to be asked. Be patient. After you ask or tell your animal

#9 Energetic Incongruence

2022/01/19

Do you want to shield your animal from your feelings? That is a noble idea. But by hiding your feelings you become incongruent. When your feelings don’t match up with your actions your animal gets concerned. The neat thing is, unlike us, animals don’t judge our feelings. Don’t hide your feelings. Talk to your animal, be honest and real and your animal can handle it just fine. Show notes available here: https://www.mindful-connections.com/post/energetic-incongruence

# 8 The Power Of Words

Let"s Have A Chat! ·

2022/01/12

Often people refer to their animal as ‘a rescue’ many years after rescuing the animal. We say “I’m gonna grab my horse out of the paddock.” Your words carry energy, and that energy affects you, the speaker, and your animal the listener. When you choose kind words and share something positive about your animal, you foster well-being and build confidence in you and your companion.
