Animal Spirits and Elemental Spirits

Good morning, everyone!  It's a beautiful but very cold day here in Ga. I don't mind the cold, as long as we don't have those nasty, grey days.  I love the sunshine!
  Today I am going to share some information about animal spirits and elemental spirits.  I'm sure there are many people who don't think animals have spirits, but that is their opinion.  I believe strongly that animals do have spirits and a purpose of their own in this life.  Their spirit and their purpose may not be at all like humans, but that is as it's supposed to be. 
  Animal spirits and elemental spirits are often similiar, but can also be quite different.  An elemental spirit is a nature spirit or being.  It might have the appearance of an animal or more closely resemble a small human figure.  Their abode is outside, in natural surroundings, woods, lakes, gardens.  Sometimes they are guardians of the land, or streams.  Fairies, trolls, elves, etc., could all be considered elementals.  I'm sure we have all read about these beings, and seen them on TV and in movies.  They can be quite different than what we see on TV, but they are real, and living in their own world.  They can be seen if they choose to be, or if you are very lucky.  Of course, you might not want to encounter some elemental spirits.  A peaceful walk by a woodland stream might not be quite so serene if you suddenly meet an aggresive troll!
  Animal spirits are much easier to understand.  These are simply the spirit or ghost of an animal who has died.  Like a human spirit, they can still be attached to this life for some reason and remain.  Many times an animal spirit will return to visit a human or even another animal he or she has loved in life.  Obviously, most of these spirits will have been household pets in life, cats, dogs, birds, etc.  The spirit of a wild animal might also remain or return from time to time for its own reason.  If you were on that peaceful woodland walk  I mentioned earlier, and suddenly felt a presense around you, it could be either an animal spirit or an elemental.  A wild animal spirit may still feel attached to where it lived, his "territory".  It may feel reluctant to leave there and move on.  I think that unlike human ghosts, animal spirits will be gathered in and taken where they need to go, at a correct time, by a higher source. Animals are innocent, and their spirits will be taken to a beautiful place appropriate for them when the time is right.
  So many times I have been told by clients that their beloved pet has passed on and they want to know if the pet is "okay".  Is the pet happy and well again.  This subject is always difficult for me to discuss as I truly love animals.  Many times the client cries, and I have the tears in my eyes, too.
  I really believe and have shared with many people, that animals have a very special place of their own that they go to when they die. This place has many names but is simply a peaceful, beautiful land where animal spirits stay until it is time for them to move to another phrase in their spiritual existance.  I believe they may leave this place from time to time and visit our world if they wish. 
  Have you ever lost a dearly loved pet, only to feel their presense around you months later?  I think this happens quite often as an animal spirit returns and trys to make contact with its owner.  You might feel a gentle brush against your leg, a faint meow or woof, or even see a full body apparation of your pet.  I know any of these can be startling, but they are simply proof of your pet's continued existance in the spiritual realm, and of its love for you. 
  If you are currently grieving over the loss of a pet, I urge you to listen for "messages" from your animal's spirit.  These messages can be very vague, so you have to really pay attention.  It takes a great deal of psychic energy for an animal or human spirit to contact us, so keep that in mind.  If the spirit of a small dog, who was about ten pounds in life, can make us feel his presense months later, think what a miracle this is!
  Animal spirits, as well as human spirits often contact us through dreams.  When we are relaxed and asleep is the easiest time for them to speak to us.  As an example, after the loss a few years ago of a cat who who been with me for twenty-one years, six months later I dreamed that he was there in the room.  He looked healthy and young again, so that I knew he was okay.  I had waited and hoped for this contact since he had passed away.  Although I knew on a spiritual level he was in a happier place, it was still wonderful for me to get that confirmation.
  Please don't doubt that the spirit of a beloved pet might contact you at some point.  Listen to your intuition if you get a sudden feeling your pet is around you, or if you have a significant dream about it. The spirit world is all around us, both with animal spirits and human. Just keep an open mind, and maybe you will experience this for yourself.
  Any comments or questions about animal or elemental spirits, please leave me a post.  Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.
