Have you ever felt that your bond with your pet goes beyond the usual cuddles and playtime? That’s because it probably does! This deeper connection exists because of soul contracts with animals. These contracts go beyond our typical understanding of pets, weaving a complex web of spiritual and emotional growth for both humans and animals.
Do Animals Have a Soul?
Absolutely, animals have souls. Through my 20+ years as an animal communicator, I’ve learned animals exist on two planes – the physical and the soul level.
The Physical Level
At the physical level, animals are concerned with their physical and survival needs. This is where most people focus the relationship with their pet – tuning into whether their dog needs more exercise or their cat wants a different kind of food. It’s about picking up on their day-to-day needs and ensuring they’re happy and healthy. This is also where most animal communicators focus as it can be very helpful to learn whether your cat likes her food or not.
The Soul Level
Then, there’s the soul level. This is the unseen dimensionality where animals are in complete connection with the divine bigger picture. They see beyond the everyday and tap into a deeper understanding of life and its challenges. Through this, animals sense our emotions and intentions, even when we’re not aware of them ourselves. It’s at the soul level where they help us navigate our soul’s journey through their contracts with us.
Soul Contracts with Animals: Here’s How The Two Levels Coordinate
As shared with me by the animals in my 20+ years doing animal communication readings, Soul contracts between humans and animals are agreements made on a spiritual level to help each other grow. These contracts often involve animals creating challenges for us that teach us important soul lessons. When we recognize the role our pets play in our lives, it opens up a whole new level of empathy and connection between us and the animals we love so dearly.
How to Decode Soul Contracts Between Humans and Their Pets
While I went through this in depth in my Animal Lessons book, let’s get you started understanding the soul contracts with animals. It’s helpful to see how these contracts work in our everyday lives. Animals use one of three methods to bring our attention to our contract with them:
- They model the behavior they want us to understand and master.
- They mirror the behavior we’re doing that we need to work on.
- They give us such incredible unconditional love that we experience something in our relationship with them that we’ve never experienced with anyone else.
Sometimes, this means your pet is putting themselves in dangerous situations to get your attention. It might seem risky, but it’s worth it to them if they can help you grow, evolve, and become more conscious.
- So, the first step is to determine which way your pet is working with you (this will happen at the physical level).
- The second step is to understand what they are trying to teach you about yourself through this (this is happening at the soul level). For example, if you’re super frustrated that your dog won’t move faster. Won’t do more with you. Won’t do the training and just wants to lay around dozing every day. There’s a good chance your dog is modeling how you need to take better care of yourself. They really do find these sneaky ways to get us to pay attention!
- The third step is to work on the piece with your pet that they’re asking you to work on. That means you’re fulfilling the contract!
Can You Be Spiritually Connected to an Animal?
The question isn’t “can you” but more like – you always are spiritually connected to your pet and to all animals you encounter in your life. Every animal you experience, whether in person or even on social media, is trying to help you grow and evolve. Some are helping in small ways and others in big ways (that’s why you call her your Soul Cat or Heart Dog), but they are all working to help you get it together.
