Welcome,
Dear intuitive one.
It's Joanna Schmidt and I'm so glad you're here.
This meditation will guide you through creating a heart connection with your animal beloved that can span any distance,
Great or small,
From the safe sacredness of your own heart space.
I believe that all of us have the ability to connect and communicate with animals on a deep intuitive level and this meditation is going to help you embody your inner animal communicator and have a heart-to-heart conversation with your animal beloved no matter how close or far you are from one another.
When you're ready to begin,
Dear intuitive one,
I invite you to give yourself a moment to settle in.
Let any stress or tension that you're feeling right now surrender to the support underneath you.
Be it your chair,
The floor,
The earth,
Or the comfort of your own bed.
To support you in arriving deeply in the here and now,
I invite you to sense into the physical sensations around you.
Listen to the sounds you hear around you.
Notice the temperature of the air.
Breathe in the fragrances around you.
When you're ready,
I invite you to shift into noticing the sensations happening within you.
Inhale.
Sense into the movement of your breath within your physical body.
Notice what you sense opening within you as you inhale.
Notice what you sense releasing as you exhale.
As you listen within,
There's no need to take bigger or deeper breaths.
Simply let your breath do the work of breathing.
Allow this movement of your breath to draw you closer to your heart space.
Explore how each inhale,
Each exhale,
Can help draw you closer to your sacred center.
It's in this inner safety within your center that your mind and your heart are free to balance and align within you.
And when you feel like you have fully arrived into the here and now,
Dear intuitive one,
I invite you to envision,
To sense,
To think about,
Or imagine the pure essence of your animal beloved in your heart and in your mind.
Let this image or sensation of your animal beloved just arrive,
Manifest,
And become.
There's no need to travel to it.
There's no need to call your animal beloved.
There's no need to call your animal beloved.
There's no need to travel to it.
There's no need to call your animal beloved into your heart space.
Simply sense the essence of your animal friend from the safe sacredness of your own heart space.
You might see an image of your animal beloved with your inner vision.
Or maybe you imagine a memory of your animal friend.
Or you might simply know that you and your animal beloved are connected.
However it is that you're sensing,
Feeling,
Envisioning,
Or imagining your animal beloved's essence.
It's perfect.
And when you feel ready,
I invite you to sense into your own feelings of love and gratitude for your animal friend.
Let your emotions fill your heart.
Let this love spill out of your heart space into your physical body.
Let this love and gratitude that you feel for your animal beloved flow through your spirit,
Your soul.
And allow this love and gratitude that you feel for your animal beloved to flow through your soul.
Let this love and gratitude that you feel for your animal friend emanate through your whole being,
Knowing that it will be received by your animal friend.
There's no need to force it.
Simply emanate it through your whole being,
Your whole presence,
As you,
Dear one,
Stay now.
As your love is flowing through you,
Dear intuitive one,
Sense into the steady rhythm of your breath.
Let it ground you to your own discernment.
And when you feel your whole being is full to the brim with your love and gratitude for your animal friend,
I invite you to let these beautiful feelings of love and gratitude start to recede inward,
Receding deeply back home into your heart center.
You will,
Of course,
Still love your animal friend by allowing the energy of your love and gratitude to momentarily quiet.
You are simply creating space for you to again sense,
See,
Imagine the essence of your animal friend within your heart space.
When you feel ready,
Let your whole being soften into the energy of love and gratitude that your animal friend is emanating towards you.
Give yourself full permission to simply experience this sensation of unconditional love that's being offered to you by your animal beloved.
There's no need to travel to it or draw it closer to you.
Simply experience it,
Receive it,
And be with it.
You might sense these emotions of love and gratitude,
Or maybe you see it,
Feel it,
Or simply know that it's flowing through you.
No matter how you sense this love and gratitude from your animal beloved,
It's perfect.
And as you listen to this love and gratitude,
From your animal beloved,
It's perfect.
And as you listen to this love note from your animal friend,
Notice again the movement of your breath within you.
Notice how your breath can support you in staying present and connected with your own body and center as you receive this gift of love.
And as you listen to this love note from your animal friend,
Notice how the movement of your breath within you is supporting you in staying present and connected with your own body and center as you receive this gift of love and gratitude.
Notice how you can sense your animal beloved and your own center,
Heart,
And body at the same time.
Dear intuitive one,
Let this experience be one of noticing both.
Your centered presence in the here and now,
While equally receiving your animal's love.
Let this love and gratitude flow through you.
Give yourself permission to experience and be present with this non-verbal exchange of love and gratitude until it starts to feel like it's naturally coming to a close.
And when it does,
Dear intuitive one,
I invite you to use your intention,
Your love,
And your inner voice to thank your animal friend for connecting with you today.
And when you're both ready to bring this conversation to a close for now,
Intuitive one,
I invite you to release your attention to your animal friend.
Release this image sensation that you are feeling within your heart space of your animal beloved.
Even when this image is released,
You are of course still connected.
You are still in love with one another.
By releasing this image,
You are creating more space,
More room for each of you.
More room for your love.
More spaciousness for the beauty of everyday life.
To let it go,
Simply let this image,
Thought or essence that you have been sensing of your animal friend within your heart,
Let it simply dissolve.
Let it recede back into the eternal oneness of the web of all of life,
Knowing that you can touch base with them in this same way again soon.
When this image has fully dissolved,
Come back to the sensations of your breath moving through your body.
Come back to the physicalness of here and now by noticing the surfaces that are supporting your body underneath you.
Perhaps move your body just a little and let these first few movements bring you even more into the here and now so you can easily peacefully and gracefully move on with your day.
Thank you for tuning in today,
Dear intuitive one.
I appreciate you and I am grateful that you are in the world.
Until next time.
