For example, there is a television series that starts this week on Wednesday the 8th February, on BBC1 (UK), called Super Smart Animals hosted by Liz Bonnin  on the BBC, which truly shows that things are changing!  Take a look at the replay on BBC iPlayer. (I apologise for those of you outside the UK if you can not view this.) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01by613/Super_Smart_Animals_Episode_1/

Another example; I was reading the BBC’s Wildlife Magazine this week and there was a featured article all about animals abilities to experience emotion and stating that there is more and more scientific evidence that supports that they are sentient, intelligent and incredible beings.  Now I know that we all know that already, but it makes my heart soar to see other people shouting about this, especially in the mainstream!

So I am very excited to observe others doing the same thing and  I feel so very honoured to be a part of the soul team helping this shift in consciousness, for the good of all.

With this in mind I am so delighted that our conference Awakening to Animals is going to build on these themes, as it brings together some of the worlds leading experts in the areas of animal wisdom , intelligence and sentience.  The community that is coming together for the weekend of the 17-18 March 2012, is going to be holding a vision of Equality for All Life and sending out that energy vibration around the world.  If you would like to come along and be a part of this community please visit our website Awakening to Animals to get your tickets and for all the details.

Also, one of my other projects The Purpose of Species is going to be published at the perfect time too, delivering the first 44 messages from the collective consciousness of animal species.  The animals offer their wisdom to humanity to assist in the rebalancing of the planet.  These messages are posted on the website too, so if you’d like to receive updates when new channellings are posted, please do visit the site and sign up.

So, as we take one step at a time in our own lives, breathing in, breathing out, my request to all is that we do what we can to assist in the rebalancing of the planet.  This could be any action aligned with compassion and the good of all, for example, putting some food out for the birds regularly, or donating to an ethical animal charity, or playing for just a bit longer with our beloved animal companions today.  Whatever you do, know that it counts.  It does help and it DOES make a difference.  Imagine for example the shift in energetic vibration around the globe if all animal guardians were simultaneously showing their love and affection for their animal friends, think about the energetic waves that would flow out around the world…  This makes a difference.

Sending much love and blessings to all.  More news very soon. Julie. XXXXX

Hello Cherished Animal Ambassadors!  Wishing you all a very happy new year and that 2012 really does see some profound shifts in the way humanity views and treats animals, for the good of all.

I have just looked back on my last blog post, three months ago now, it seems so long ago and it made me realise that this really is a new chapter for me, for Voice of the Animals and for everyone, whether consciously aware of it or not.

Much is being said about 2012, a lot of it nonsense, some of it truth.  For sure there are huge shifts and changes taking place all around us, the planet herself is changing and moving, as she always has and always will.  Our human systems; political and financial, to name but two, are crumbling and falling apart, ready to be replaced by the new.  So many of us are reaching a tipping point in our lives.  Questioning what we are doing, how we are doing things and, most importantly, why we are doing the things we do.

As humans many of us are strongly conditioned to view these changes as frightening, fear producing and threatening but what is happening is all meant to be, all a part of the letting go of the old ways and creating the new world that we need in order to rebalance all on the planet and beyond.  Many of the changes occurring are challenging, tough and dramatic and the reason this is so it that often it is the ONLY way we will make change in our lives, when we, seemingly, have our hand forced.

For the animals on the planet much is balanced on a knifes edge.  Many species, too many to list, are on the brink of extinction, losing their habitat, losing their families and/or being treated in horrific ways by a scared and desperate humanity still asleep and draped in the amnesia of the old ways.  The animals are reaching out to us, like never before, appealing to us to awaken and to remember.

Thankfully, many of us are reawakening and remembering that the balance of the planet is all important, that we are indeed all one and that this mindfulness of our interconnected nature is the key to creating shifts that are now so needed to realign and rebalance. Many of us are hearing the animals and listening to the wisdom they have to offer us.

Many of us can see what is happening on the planet, can see what is needed.  We are changing the way we spend our days, moving away from the individualistic ways of living, my career, my car, my house, my finances, my family  and moving toward our community, our planet, our well being, our responsibility.

I am noticing that the people in and around me are leaving their old jobs, unable to continue being in the old world, the old systems and vibration and are bravely setting out on their new chapters, following what they are passionate about, what their true service is that they offer to the world and stepping into these new ways of being.  It is wonderful to witness.  If you are doing this, I encourage and wholeheartedly support you, follow your heart and all will unfold beautifully, despite not being able to see the path ahead or to even really know where the path is leading you to!

For me, I have parted from my old career, it has been a gradual process over the last few years, but as of the end of 2011 I officially stopped working as a training consultant and entered into my animal ambassador role completely.  It feels exhilarating, sometimes scary and often highly challenging and I know it is exactly what I am meant to be doing.  I don’t know where this path will take me, I don’t know how things will turn out but I do know that this is what I am meant to be doing and that feels incredible.

So what is on the agenda for 2012 for Voice of the Animals?  Who knows for sure but I am co-creating some amazing things and I want to share with you over the coming few blog posts what they are and how you can become a part of it, should you choose to.

To give you a flavour and to wet your appetites I am co-founding a conference that is the first of its kind, a conference that will build each year a community of light minded souls and together we will assist in raising the energy and vibration for all life, searching for equality for all life.  It is called Awakening to Animals – Bridging New Science and Animal Spirituality.  It is taking place in March and we have gathered a group of fantastic speakers to share their latest work and discoveries about the true nature of animals and how we can learn and evolve by connecting with them on deeper levels.  We are donating 20% of all profits to two amazing animal organisations too.

I am running a truly unique retreat in Canada in August called Learning From The Heart Of The Herd.  We will spend almost a week with an incredible herd of horses who have lived wild on 320 acres of pristine British Columbian landscape, learning from them and opening ourselves up to our true potential and power.

I have launched four different types of Playshop for 2012. A two hour taster session, a one day introduction, the two day foundational playshop and a one day advanced playshop.  These are aimed to provide a better selection of opportunities for you to learn and practice intuitive animal communication, dependent on where you are on your path to remembering and your level of experience and skill.

I am continuing to build The Purpose of Species, the collection of messages channeled from the collective consciousness of as many animal species as possible.  I am currently contacting a range of publishers to get the first book published, look out for news of this.

Of course there is much more than this going on but this gives you a flavour of a few of the guided actions I am aligning with.

My next few blog posts will share more about the Conference story, about how 18 months or so ago, I started feeling guided to co-create a conference to build a community and many miles north of me a wonderful lady called Elaine Downs, who I hadn’t even met at this point, was also feeling the same guidance.  A few months later we met up and exchanged with each other this information and agreed, alongside the wonderful Sue Reid, to start building the conference!  The Universe is now moving in amazing ways to assist this co-creation – in the next few blogs I’ll share some of the incredible co-incidences that have been happening to bring it together.  It reminds me of a line in the film Fields of Gold, “If you build it they will come…” :0)

So 2012 is lining up to be an incredible year, I wanted to share my wishes to you that you allow yourself to follow your heart, to listen to the calling of source guiding you to become the person you are meant to be, to know that you are surrounded by light minded others, to trust that you are provided for now and always and that you must apply the wisdom that you are remembering.  2012 is a time for surrender, letting go of the old, embracing the new, connecting to the all and thinking “We” instead of “I” and “You”.  It really is all about entering into the age of Unity Consciousness and living and breathing this truth.

I’d love to hear from you, your stories, your paths and the guidance you are being given.  Please do use the comment box to add your messages so that all can benefit.

Sending much blessings and love to all.

I watched this video today, a friend shared it on Facebook and thought you would enjoy it.  It takes about 8 minutes so next time you are having a cuppa do take a watch.  She is a wonderful lady, Chris Griscom, speaking in New Mexico at an event.  She speaks so eloquently about the role our beloved animal companions play in our worlds…  Enjoy! :0)

Love and blessings to all,

Happy New Year to you all and trusting you are having a great start to 2011, which is already moving at quite a pace!  Much is shifting and changing on our wonderful planet and we are all called to be flexible, to help each other and to step into the new consciousness, unity and compassion.  Harmony and community will continue to become more and more important, if we are to rebalance our world.

As always our animal friends are great at showing us how to do this.  I wanted to share with you a delightful short video that Barbara Nock from the wonderful Willows Animal Shelter up in the North  East of Scotland sent to me.  Perdie the spaniel and Truffles the piglet demonstrate to us how to be completely in the moment, to kick up our heels and have some fun!

Willows offers such an extraordinary service to the community in Scotland, taking on animals in need and allowing recovering addicts to care for the animals, which is such a healing journey for them all.

If you can make a donation to help them continue to do this, please do so; everything is helpful. Visit www.willowsanimals.com to make a donation and to learn more about the wonderful service they offer.

Enjoy the video and give yourself permission to play every day!

I am delighted to share with you the newly updated Voice of the Animals website, including our gorgeous new equine logo, hope you like her!

2011 is going to be a wonderful year set to see many shifts in the consciousness of  all souls on the planet.  This can only mean great news for the rebalancing of the planet.  I intend to do everything in my power to assist with this process and know that you care just as much and will do the same too.  This is the way change happens…

I also wanted to wish you all a very happy Christmas/holiday season on behalf of Voice of the Animals.

I found this delightful short video that sums up the reasons why I, and I’m sure you, love our animal relatives so much!  Enjoy!!! XXX

My partner David and I  found this video whilst looking through You Tube yesterday, made us both howl with laughter and we replayed it several times!  Trust you will enjoy it too. Laughter is so important to us all as we learn to lighten up!  Have a great day. Sending much love and light to you all. XXX
