  • Do animals reincarnate?
  • How can we know if our animals will reincarnate?
  • How can we tell if an animal has been with us before?
  • How can we find them?
  • What if we miss them?

EMPATHS AND HIGHLY SENSITIVE PEOPLE

Keys to Being a Healthy Empath

with Judith Orloff, MD

In this free video event, bestselling author and psychiatrist Judith Orloff, MD, will share how you can start building effective energetic protection skills and lean into the art of surrender — to become unburdened of toxic energies and able to transmute your life experiences

During this self-empowering 60 minutes, you’ll:

  • Learn about your brain’s mirror neurons, and how they activate both your empathetic predisposition and your gift for greater sensitivity and intuition
  • Learn what intuitive healing means for empaths and sensitive people… and how to access this gift
  • Discover the key to surrendering to anxiety and fear, and how thinking and feeling it doesn’t mean you have to take it on energetically
  • Discover the importance of energetic protection in accessing, enjoying, and sharing your intuitive gifts
  • Experience a guided meditation to feel into the power of surrendering, so you can gain trust in the moment and be there for yourself and others

Judith teaches empaths, and everyone, how not to succumb to their triggers and all the cries of the world, and, instead, to listen first to their inner voice — what she calls the voice of energy.

To be a healer — for yourself and others — you need to feel your own strength. Judith can show you how to find this inner power consistently… through practices you can access quickly and easily.

You won’t want to miss this special hour to start enjoying each moment and your unique predisposition for greater compassion, love, and a clear knowing that can help you and others heal.

The Empath’s Survival Guide Online Course: Life Strategies for Sensitive People

with Judith Orloff, MD

Nancy’s note: I have found the work of Dr. Judith Orloff to be very helpful in both my personal life and in my work, and many of my clients and students have been helped by her work, as well. This is an excellent course from Dr. Orloff with many wonderful tools and resources for living in this world as an empath and highly sensitive person.

A Special Invitation for Highly Empathic & Sensitive People From Judith Orloff, MD

“In this course, you’ll learn potent methods for dealing with the unique challenges of empaths — and enhance your life in many key areas.

This is a tough world for sensitive people. From the constant bombardment of the 24-hour news cycle to the presence of untold numbers of visual, audio, and chemical toxins in our environment, those of us with naturally high sensitivity can find ourselves easily overwhelmed.

And understanding can be hard to find. Have you been told you need to “grow a thick skin”? Have you been treated as if your sensitivity is some kind of weakness or character flaw?

If you feel as if you don’t fit in this world, it’s because you’re here to create a better one.”

Thriving As An Empath: 365 Days of Empowering Self-Care Practices

by Judith Orloff, MD

Empaths have so much to offer as healers, creatives, friends, lovers, and innovators at work. Yet highly sensitive and empathic people often give too much at the expense of their own well-being and end up absorbing the stress of others. “To stay healthy and happy,” writes Dr. Judith Orloff, “you must be ready with daily self-care practices that work.” With Thriving as an Empath, she provides an invaluable resource to help you protect yourself from the stresses of an overwhelming world and embrace the “gift of being different.”

If you want daily tools to put into action, this unabridged book is for you. Building on the principles Dr. Orloff introduced in The Empath’s Survival Guide, this book brings you daily self-care practices and support for becoming a compassionate, empowered empath.

The Highly Sensitive Person’s Complete Learning Program

Essential Insights and Tools for Navigating Your Work, Relationships, and Life

Reading Dr. Elaine Aron’s book, “The Highly Sensitive Person” was life-changing for me. It gave me insight, clarity, and a deeper understanding of the trait of high sensitivity. It helped me to better understand my own sensitivity, with its gifts and challenges, as well as that of my human and animal friends and clients who have the trait.

As Dr. Aron mentions in this interview, the trait of high sensitivity has been found in over 100 species… including humans. I was delighted to know that the non-human animal research exists… because as an animal communicator, I’ve long been aware of the challenges and gifts of our sensitive animal friends…and the similarities with my experiences as a human with the trait. In my own animal family, my Afghan hound, Tashi, clearly has the trait, and it’s so interesting to see the ways in which she and I interact with and respond to the world in similar ways.

This interview is an excellent introduction to Dr. Aron’s work, and I highly recommend the course: The Highly Sensitive Person’s Complete Learning Program: 
Essential Insights and Tools for Navigating Your Work, Relationships, and Life. If you are an HSP, or are in a relationship with one (of any species), this course contains a lot of helpful tools, information, and guidance. (Bonus: If you are in the helping professions, you can receive CE credits for this course.)

Sensitive – The Untold Story

Sensitive -The Untold Story is based on the findings of bestselling author-psychologist, Dr. Elaine Aron and features 7-time Grammy winner, Alanis Morissette.

This is an excellent film that illuminates both the blessings and the challenges of being one of the 20% of beings with the trait of high sensitivity. (This trait is not just found in humans — over 100 species of animals have been studied, as well, and the percentage of the trait is the same.)

“[Sensitive-The Untold Story] covers such a dense amount of information, and such a wide range of how and where this trait shows up… all done in a way that is very clear, and intelligent and touching… It is an honor to have been a part of it, and to be part of this generous outreach to so many HSP’s and their loved ones. Such a major contribution to the world.” – Alanis Morissette

Karma of Cats

In the fall of 2019, Sounds True published The Karma of Cats – an anthology of writing about the spiritual gifts and teachings of our feline friends. I’m honored to be included as one of the authors in this anthology, sharing the story of my first (and best) meditation teacher: my cat, Freddie.

Anyone who has been blessed by the love of a cat knows that there’s something transcendent about our relationships with these wild yet tender beings. The Karma of Cats is a collection of touching odes to our kitty companions. Join authors such as Alice Walker, Andrew Harvey, Sandra Ingerman, Joan Ranquet, and others to explore themes of love and loss, radical respect, self-acceptance, and more. A beautiful compilation for anyone who loves cats and appreciates the unique wisdom and gifts they share with us.

Animal Training and Behavior Resources

Harnessing Your Wayward Dog

Walks can be enjoyable, manageable, and painless.

This is an excellent article with information on harnesses and why they are both physically safer and more effective for your dogs, and also help to support, rather than negatively impact, your relationship with your canine BFF. I’ve used the Ruffwear harnesses for years with my Afghan hounds.

Dog Training and Behavior Resources

I often have clients ask me for training and behavior recommendations, so I thought I’d compile a list of some of my favorites. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but rather a good place to start with resources for positive training and creating a balanced, partnership-based human-dog relationship.

How to Speak Chicken: Why Your Chickens Do What They Do & Say What They Say

by Melissa Caughey

This is a beautiful manual of chicken language, society, sensitivity, and wisdom, written by a woman who has spent years listening to and learning from her flock.

In this lovely book (filled with really beautiful chicken photos), the author writes about the variety and nuance in chicken language, the rich complexities of chicken society, chicken intelligence, and chickens’ varied and rich emotional lives.

My favorite section of the book is the last – on chicken emotion and awareness. The author writes about chickens’ compassion, capacity for excitement, joy, mourning, and love with deep understanding and respect. As an animal communication teacher and chicken lover, I so appreciate this contribution to the world of understanding, communicating with, and caring for companion chickens.
