Stephanie Stephan: Hello, welcome to a new episode of Purrs, Barks and Tweets with Love. My name is Stephanie Stefan this is a podcast for animal lovers such as yourself. And every week ⁓ share a story about a different animal. However, ⁓ ⁓ in this moment I am going through a particular situation with my dog, Spiky, I would like to share this with all of you. so you can understand a little bit more how energy works and what we can do and also the things that we should avoid in order to keep our pets healthy. I hope that my story, which is happening in this moment, ⁓ an inspiration for all of you to assess how your energy ⁓ having a positive or perhaps not so positive impact on your own animals in your home. About four weeks ago, I noticed that my dog, Spikey, ⁓ had developed this ⁓ ⁓ in one his in fact, his ⁓ left hind leg. it overnight. ⁓ It was very sudden. and the inflammation was just growing so fast that within the day it went from looking like twice his normal size to probably about five times the normal size which was very alarming ⁓ ⁓ went and I scanned him energetically to understand if there was any particular source of pain ⁓ any of his organs or any other area was there any ⁓ sensitivities, nothing. I couldn't identify any particular pain in his body. then I realized by the next day that the inflammation had stopped. It hadn't grown any bigger than it was I got him checked by the vet. What is interesting about this story is not that he got the inflammation because this can happen for many different reasons What is interesting is what exactly was I doing the day before he developed the inflammation? That is really the question here. I was assessing and just taking inventory of what I had done what was happening the day before ⁓ woke up with this inflammation in his leg was that I was having a swelling in my left leg and I realized my lymphatic system was very stagnant and I needed to do a lymphatic massage. For that reason, I had gone in and done the massage, but what I didn't pay attention to was the fact that my dog, Spikey, was right next to me when I was doing that massage. what ended up happening was ⁓ of that stagnant energy that I released from my own body was basically transferred onto Spikey's also left hind leg. It was my left leg, it went to his left hind leg. Yes, interesting, right? So I realized, wow, I played a part on this. of course, ⁓ I went to see the vet, the day after the inflammation started for him, I... had not mentioned anything about my lymphatic system. I didn't say, ⁓ by the way, I was having this particular massage and then the next day Spalke woke up with this. I didn't mention that. At that point, I decided we can leave that information out. I don't think that the vet is really gonna understand that. However, what ended up happening, and you are going to laugh about this because this is really hilarious is that we left the vet's office with Spiky having a lymphatic cleanse treatment of 10 days. Yes. So without me telling the vet what had happened with me and as a result, what happened with Spiky the day after, without saying any of that, all of the assessment and all of the factors pointed at Spiky having is precisely the same thing that I was having, which was the lymphatic system was stagnant and we came home with the treatment and in 10 days it cleared out. Interesting, right? ⁓ I ⁓ also a ⁓ cleanse of my system, so we are now both in a better place than we were before. What is the... ⁓ learning out of this story, which if it has not happened to you, you probably are thinking that is not even possible, that cannot be. Well, I'm here to tell you I'm not going to spend any time of my day recording anything that is not true to share with all of you because what is the point of that? I'm sharing exactly what happened to me and I just find it hilarious because... If I am practicing energy healing on animals, I really should be paying a whole lot more attention on the fact that I am cleansing my energy and I want to make sure that I don't pass it on to my dog. That is the learning of the story is we need to be mindful, not just about our emotions, but also we need to be mindful about when we are releasing. toxic energy or stagnant energy out of our systems, whichever system that is, it could be the nervous system, it could be our physical bodies, in this case it was my lymphatic system. When we are doing any of that, we need to either have our animals in a different place that is not right next to us so that they don't absorb that energy, or better yet, we can actually transmit that energy into higher frequency energy and we can do that with intention. Something like I release this energy and I turn this into the light. That simple. Something just setting the intention in order to make sure that that stagnant energy doesn't just stay there. So that is what happened. And why did Spikey acquire all of this stagnant energy? Of course, he's got agency. He made a choice. It was not as if I dumped it on him without his will. He voluntarily picked that up. Why did he do that? You may wonder. Very simple, because he loves me. And by doing so, he is acting as my mirror to reflect back to me. I need to take care of my lymphatic system because the moment I saw his leg swollen, I worried more about him than I was worrying about me. He was trying to teach me if you take care of yourself, then you don't have to worry about me because I will not have what you have. It's just that simple. Sometimes animals love us so much that they will willingly reflect back to us conditions that we are having that we are neglecting to take care of in order for us to pay attention and act on it. Because the moment we see it on them, We worry, we take action because we love them. We want them to be well. But the reason they are having that particular disease or condition is because they want us to wake up and realize we have it and we need to take care of it ourselves. This is a story I thought it was very timely to just share it with you because it is happening in this moment. He just cleared that out. And I also, I am very mindful right now of making sure that my lymphatic system is not becoming stagnant. There is an entire protocol that my functional doctor advised me to do in order to do that. And I am being more diligent about it in order to avoid having another repeat of the situation with spiky. I hope that this story will give you some inspiration to pay attention to how you are taking care of yourselves in order to avoid your animal companion to take that as an opportunity to show it back to you and reflect it back to you so you can take action. Hopefully it doesn't occur the same situation that happened with me and Spiky and we can practice all of us a little bit more awareness about what we do with our physical health. that is the story for today.
