by Laila del Monte
In this book, del Monte reveals how the unconditionally loving nature of animals very often leads them to take on the physical pains and negative emotional experiences of the human beings in their lives.
The animals absorb negative emotions such as guilt, anger, jealousy and other issues that stop people from moving forward and reflect these back in their animal behavior.
Through her work with countless animals suffering from behavioral disorders or who have been sick or injured, del Monte learned that the physical healing of the animals is directly tied to the emotional healing of the people they are close to.
The stories and situations she shares in this book demonstrate that learning what animals have to teach us about our lives does not require any magical formula or laborious training — it is part of our natural birthright.
We need only to revive our own deep intuition to restore this connection. The authenticity and loving nature of del Monte’s approach is not only testimony to her dedication and amazing abilities, but also shows us the way we can follow the same path simply and honestly.
