Today I have an exciting guest post from Kim Shotola, the author of The Soul Watchers, Animals’ Quest to Awaken Humanity. You can find out more about her book and what pet parents can learn from it.
What is The Soul Watchers, Animals’ Quest to Awaken Humanity about?
What if our beloved pets and animals, and even animals in the wild, were sharing this planet with us for a much deeper reason than we thought? The role of animals is to take you on a profound journey to awaken and enlighten your heart and soul. Animals from your past, present, and future are here to help guide you into your best possible life. Your soul matters deeply to the animals, both domestic and wild. “Animals are a window to your soul and a doorway to your spiritual destiny. If you let them into your life and allow them to teach you, you will be better for it.”
In this book, you can learn to recognize, receive, and comprehend guidance from animals, understand important life lessons and how to take action, and discover holistic animal care tips you can use right away.
What can pet parents learn from your book?
Animals play many different roles in your life from companion, guardian, comedian, and even a guide. Have you ever felt like your animal knew things about you like they were staring into your soul? When you can understand that each animal has a special purpose for you, so many things make sense in life.
Animals of all kinds want to offer you support, guidance, and answers. They have an incredible amount of wisdom they want to share with you and want you to reach out to them heart to heart, mind to mind. There are different ways animals can try to reach you. Think of each domestic or wild animal as a form of mentor. They can come to you in person, through dreams and images and other signs. Animals assist you with life lessons and messages, and this is something you can easily learn to recognize and comprehend.
Animals are so connected to nature. They want you to be able to utilize Mother Earth’s medicine chest such as the water, sun, moon, nutrition, energy work, flower essences, aromatherapy, homeopathy, color therapy, and crystals. They understand what Mother Earth has to offer and want you to absorb and use these bountiful gifts from nature. This knowledge can be used to help both animals and people.
Beyond petting is the wonderful power of touch. This can be done with methods such as muscle testing, acupressure, EFT/tapping, and massage. Touch is so powerful and creates its own energy. It’s exciting to see what all forms of touch can actually bring forth for you.
Animals can teach us to express gratitude in a new way. It’s easy to forget to be grateful for both the big and little things in your daily life. Gratitude is so positive and attracts more beautiful experiences into your life. Animals remind us how nature is so grounding, including with the aid of an incredible tree. They share ways to keep our home and work space cleared of negative energy and filled with positive energy which can create an amazing shift for both you and your animals.
Practicing mindful meditation can unveil more than you realize. Meditation can take you to new heights in your relationship with animals; yourself and others. Besides simple peace, you never know what will be revealed. You can connect heart to heart with animals through simple visualization. Envisioning a beautiful cord woven of fabric or light that connects your heart with the heart of an animal can be magical. You can also visualize that your hearts are united and beat in harmony, or that you are in a heart-filled bubble together. You can send your love and thoughts to the animal with this radiant connection.
Beyond a connection through visualization, you can speak out loud to your animal and have amazing results. Animals love hearing about your day, what’s on your mind, what might be concerning you, etc. It even helps to tell them when you’re leaving your home and when you’ll return whether it’s dinner time or multiple days like two suns or three moons. They do understand what you are saying, and this can be life-changing for your relationship.
Animals want to inspire you to make a greater impact in this world, from your love of animals and their love for you. When you learn from the animals, you learn to listen to your heart and soul, and this can take you to unimaginable places.
Let the animals show you the present, help you learn from the past, and propel you to your future with touching stories, lessons, tips, and words directly from animals.
Can you share more about yourself and why you wrote this book?
Since 2006, I’ve been teaching about the animals’ ancient wisdom that can provide guidance, prevent illness, and help both animals and people heal in body, mind, and spirit. I love empowering pet parents, animal professionals, and animal lovers to help animals and people live happier, healthier, and longer lives. My passion is teaching in any possible way through classes, programs, retreats, consultations, TV, radio shows, podcasts, magazines, and in-person and online events.
Most of the animals I have shared my life with have been adopted. I also love nature especially wolves, which is why my husband and I live near Yellowstone National Park. Domestic and wild animals along with nature have taught me so much in life. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow from their wisdom.
I wrote this book so that people could understand the knowledge and life lessons the animals are trying to teach them. The Soul Watchers has in-depth chapters on receiving and deciphering messages from animals, and a whole toolbox of natural remedies and methods to use. It also includes a downloadable action guidebook and a mindful meditation audio.
One of my favorite stories in the book is about a cat named LC that teaches us that just because an animal has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the connection between that animal and their person. Patty, LC’s pet parent, shares various ways her cat continues to visit her, especially in challenging times.
Praise for Kim’s book has been pouring in. Jessica Parkerson, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, wrote: “As someone who deals with sickness and loss regularly, it is reassuring that all things happen for a reason. This gives me perspective, that we humans are a piece of the whole.” Linda Clayton, author of Look Who’s Talking, A Personal Journey Into Animal Communication writes: “Kim’s book contains groundbreaking information on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual life of animals, including tips on how to use many, unique healing modalities.” Helen Racz, EFT practitioner, life coach, and author of The Logical Law of Attraction, enjoys the many practical how-to tips, saying: “The action steps in each chapter offer a huge payoff.”
Jessica Parkerson, DVM, continues: “Kim explores ways animals touch our lives, and helps us appreciate our pets and nature in greater ways. I use what I am learning to appreciate stewardship and respect for pets and all the planet, but it also gives me perspective, that we humans are a piece of the whole. It is very good to recognize that we work with nature, and that nature wants to partner with us.”
What’s the bottom line when it comes to animals?
Animals want a harmonious and peaceful world where we all hear, embrace, and share the messages and gifts from the animal kingdom, from nature, and from Mother Earth to benefit all of life.
Kim’s book is available on Amazon in paperback and in PDF-ebook format from TheSoulWatchers.com. You can contact her by email at thelightfootway@yahoo.com.
