The Poodle Trainer - Magical

“A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.” - Jack London

Prepare to be amazed by some magical performers.

If you have never seen this award winning film short, it's a gem. Irina Markova is an extraordinary animal communicator. Seeing the interactions between her and her dogs is inspiring.

Emotionally charged, the film draws you into her world for a very brief moment and leaves a lasting impression. Unforgettable, her character.

Description:  Multi festival favorite, The Poodle Trainer received a special Jury award from AFI/Silverdocs, "for a film that packs humor and tragedy into a subtle and perfectly paced 7 minutes." --

Known as the Russian Dog Whisperer, Irina credits angels for helping her do her work. And there is no doubt, she is incredibly gifted. The dogs mirror her and follow her every move, alert for a cue to the next pose.

Watching the interactions of her canine crew and hearing her describe the feelings she has for them and for her work, indeed, the element of a higher source is present.

Animal Communicators are challenged to find words for the deeds they do. It may well be that there simply are no words. The explanation is in the result. Irina speaks the language of the heart. Sincere, authentic, genuine, humble and very much worth knowing.

When the Horses Whisper - Interspecies Communication with Rosalyn Berne

I call horses 'divine mirrors' - they reflect back the emotions you put in. If you put in love and respect and kindness and curiosity, the horse will return that. - *Allan Hamilton, M.D.

Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast - Rosalyn Berne 8/20/16
 
Note: In addition to the interview, the first segment of the show is a mix of quirky and offbeat news headlines. Under the radar for the mainstream newscasts and those are the headlines I make time for...

My interview guest had an incredible life shift. What would you do if you fell off a horse and a door opened to a world you never even fathomed? That's what happened to *Rosalyn Berne.

On vacation in Costa Rica, she fell off a horse and when she got up, she realized she could hear what the horse was thinking. He was quite rattled that she had fallen off and worried because that had never happened to him before. And so began a new journey filled with amazing insights and  revelations.

Expanding her horizons now on so many fronts, Rosalyn continues to teach (Ph.D professor in the field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) at the University of Virginia), meets new horses and works with their people and, as of midsummer 2016, she now has two horses of her own and a ranch to call home. Details of that story are in our interview.

The follow up to her first book, When the Horses Whisper is Waking to Beauty: Encounters with Remarkable Beings, continuing the story and examining earlier life experiences that might have played a part in facilitating her expanded awareness.

Here is the trailer for a potential film: When the Horses Whisper

“Animals will respond to your emotional state, even if you think you are hiding your feelings and not displaying them outwardly. Animals are masters at connecting intuitively – they know everything we think and feel.” ~ Marta Williams

The focus of My Animal My Self is mirroring – the ways in which our animals reflect our own emotions, life situations, and even our physical state back to us. The premise behind the book is that animals know what we are thinking and feeling at all times; they cannot divorce themselves from our reality and so become inextricably involved in it.

This enlightening book reveals how our animals are frequently unrecognized healers and teachers for us. It is full of stories that will show you how animals mirror people: a cat who acted up when her person was working too hard, a horse who by being a bully helped her human learn to set boundaries in her life, a dog who helped his person heal emotionally, and a horse who was instrumental in getting a depressed woman to recommit to staying alive.

Our animals can teach us how to live in the present, overcome fear, and be in our power. Author Marta Williams contends that if you search for it you can observe how your animals are showing you what is out of balance in your life – emotionally, mentally, physically and/or spiritually. Animal lovers looking for life-changing insight into the hidden aspects of their relationships with their animals will find what they seek in this indispensable book.

Williams offers a clear, detailed explanation of this little-understood dynamic, and gives the reader the analytical tools for discovering mirroring in animals, past and present, and for addressing any interactions that may be less than optimal.  She has created a book that leads us into one exciting discovery after another.

The best part is that we don’t have to be professional animal communicators to access these remarkable gifts from our animals. What they are telling us about mirroring is clearly available with a little analysis on our part. Once we become aware of it, we will see it everywhere.

Through reading this book, those studying or practicing animal communication will expand their knowledge into a new world of deeper connection. All readers will discover what animals teach us through mirroring and how we can restore balance in our relationships with them. This book promises a consciousness shift that will surely change our lives and our animals’ lives, and possibly the life of our planet, for the better.

Marta Williams is a biologist, author and animal communicator who lives in Northern California. She teaches worldwide and via teleclass, and offers consultations for animals and their people by phone, Skype and email. My Animal My Self is Marta’s fourth book published by New World Library.
