Pet Reincarnation What is Woo and What is True
By Shannon Cutts.
If you read the title of this article and are still reading, you are my kind of pet parent. Welcome! We are about to delve into one of my absolute favorite areas of the animal communication field – pet reincarnation.
I will be honest. Pet reincarnation is an area of focus that many of my colleagues practice only covertly. Some flat-out refuse to touch it. Which means I find myself at the very fringes of a field which in itself is still too fringe for many of my species to find credible.
Luckily, I like a good challenge.
Woo today, mainstream tomorrow.
Once upon a time, ideas such as lightbulbs, automobiles, airplanes and E=MC2 (not to mention rockets to the moon and missions to Mars) were considered too woo to be anything but an imaginative child’s fantasy. Some of today’s most revered mainstream researchers and inventors were considered questionable outliers in their day.
This is exciting, because it means those of us who are practicing in outlier fields such as animal communication in these still-wobbly pioneer days will inevitably play a role in decoding the art and science of intuitive conversation for those yet to come.
(And if you are still reading even after all of that, chances are good you will be a part of this evolutionary advancement for our species as well.)
Telepathy is real.
The runaway smash success of podcast projects like The Telepathy Tapes is already elevating our human consciousness, opening our minds, rekindling our emotional lives and awakening our birthright curiosity to evolve and grow. Just yesterday I was working with a first-time pet parent who told me she sought me out specifically because of The Telepathy Tapes.
She wanted to talk about pet reincarnation for her two dogs even though she emphasized that only part of her skeptical mind could get on board with the idea. I reassured her that this is totally normal. Our left brain, which is the rational, logical, analytical aspect of our consciousness, is not intuitive. It cannot connect any of the dots above its pay grade.
However, as Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD, has showcased in her best-selling book “My Stroke of Insight,” our right brain is highly intuitive and connective in ways we are only just beginning to grasp. Where our individualistic left-brain mind thinks and analyzes, our unified right brain mind senses, feels and innately knows.
This is also the part of the brain that sends well-respected nurses and doctors, scientists and fellow intuitives alike to me for the express purpose of asking if their beloved soul pet will reincarnate.
What is pet reincarnation?
The word “reincarnation” comes from two Latin words, “re,” or “again” and “incarnare,” or “to make flesh.” Putting it together, we understand that reincarnation is what happens when the energy that animates a body – this energy being what some call the soul or spirit – decides to leave one body and then enter another.
We know from Einstein’s Law of Conservation of Energy that energy can cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transmuted or transformed. So here, recognizing that the temporarily discarnate (dis-embodied) energy of our dog must go somewhere, it actually seems pretty practical that that energy might then choose to enter a new body for a new set of adventures with us.
But what I find even more intriguing is that somewhere back in the annals of human history, a fellow homo sapiens created the word “reincarnation” to describe a phenomenon they wanted to document, explore and share. This indicates I am not alone in my felt, sensed and known experiences of pet reincarnation.
Neither are you.
Neither is your pet.
Animals live from their right brains.
Animal communication itself is a universal language all species share in common – including our own. It is the first language we come into this world with before we gain the ability to use words. It is sensory and intuitive by nature, and we never lose access to it. We simply lose awareness and interest as we grow up and our left brain-dominant language centers take over communication responsibilities.
All animals have their own version of our left brain/right brain division of labor. But we are the only species that prioritizes the left brain and subordinates the right brain. For all other animal species, they do exactly the opposite of what we do. They live largely in their right brain sensory and feeling state. Interestingly, this also means animals fear death of the physical body far less than we human animals do. Their fear is greatly lessened because they never lose their awareness of unity and continuity of life that only the right brain can access.
Animals also understand the functionality of leaving a physical body that can no longer serve them well so that they can re-enter a fresh new body that is highly functional and pleasant to occupy. As well, non-human animals value quality of life heavily over quantity. They retain a level of detachment in this area that we humans are hard-pressed to emulate.
Left brain lonely separation, right brain joyful reunion.
The reason we pet parents grieve so hard when our dogs die is because our left brain does not understand the concept of transmutation of energy. “If our pet’s furry body is no more, our pet is no more,” says our left-brain mind. Our right brain tries to counter that untruth by presenting the concept of pet reincarnation. “Why not just ask your soul dog to reincarnate?” it suggests to us.
This is usually when we conclude that our grief has made us temporarily insane. And it has. But it is a good kind of insanity – the kind that opens us up once more to our right brain function where we can sense, feel and know of the continued connection of life after physical death. It is the kind of insanity that sparks a soul awakening that then changes us forever for the better.
It is usually at this point when the grieving pet parent enters my world.
Pet reincarnation is an evolution in human consciousness.
Not every pet parent I work with experiences success with calling their soul pet back to them through pet reincarnation. And some struggle far more than they need to before eventually achieving success.
Why is this? It is because of the nature of the pet reincarnation experience. We have many options when the body of our beloved dog gives out. We can choose not to adopt again. We can go out and adopt a new dog. We can clone our old dog using their DNA. Or we can ask our dog to return to us for a joyful reunion through pet reincarnation.
The pet parent who opts for the pet reincarnation experience is in the midst of a soul awakening – an evolution in consciousness that brings with it certain entrance requirements. The reincarnation-focused pet parent must be willing to activate their imagination and their intuition (Einstein is the one who taught us that these two are inextricably linked, and by design).
If you want your soul dog to return to you, you must be willing to learn how to play your part, which means understanding and flowing with the pet grief process (last month’s article covers this in detail), harnessing gratitude as a manifesting tool and learning to use the electro-magnetic energy of the mind-heart connection to literally call your pet back to you in their new physical body.
This is a powerful, mysterious and miraculous process and it is not for everyone. But as I love to remind aspiring pet parents, anything worth doing is worth doing with our whole heart. Asking for a pet reincarnation reunion is asking for a big leap forward at the soul level, which will then require some ground work on our part to set into motion.
But the joyful payoff is, well, no words can do it justice.
