MY THOUGHTS
An animal – a guide to a human
Animals have a difficult task. They are guides for people on their journey toward self-understanding.
An animal’s traits and behavior reflect its species. They also serve as a mirror for the person it accompanies.
Due to their high sensitivity, animals know everything about their human companions. They perceive the energy of their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. And they reveal how their humans are faring within these energies.
Many people try to solve their pets’ problems without even realizing that they themselves might be the cause.
This doesn’t mean that the animal shouldn’t be treated or taken to the vet when it’s sick.
It is a call to reflect when such a situation arises.
What is the animal showing me? What can I change in myself?
Yes, it also requires stepping outside your comfort zone, and that takes courage.
However, once you find that courage, you can find health for yourself and, in turn, for your animal companion.
An energy field
Where the energies of different beings intersect, energy fields are created. Some are temporary, and some are permanent.
A person and their pet also form a shared energy field. The person influences this field with their thoughts, and the pet reflects some of them.
Of course, there can be multiple beings in an energy field—for example, parents, children, and all the pets in the household. Or a work team. The energies of everyone within the field influence one another. It is a form of energetic communication.
The thoughts and emotions of adults dominate every energy field. Children and animals react according to the adults’ mindset. These two groups mirror the energy of the adults.
Of course, in reality, energetic connections are much deeper, more complex, unique, and changeable. Nevertheless, at their very core, animals and children in the energy field serve as a mirror for adults.
The main energy field is, of course, made up of all sentient beings on this planet.
A work with subtle energies
Various forms of energy work and therapies are currently experiencing a veritable boom.
I view positively the shift in people’s perceptions and their search for energetic and spiritual paths and approaches to life.
However, it is important to realize that working with energies has its own rules. The main rule is that it primarily serves the development and growth of the individual who perceives these abilities.
Only after a person has cleared up their own life and found their inner grounding can they then decide whether to pass on their abilities and experiences.
Today, however, it mostly works the other way around. People who are going through life crises or dealing with their own illnesses or those of loved ones (children, pets, etc.) want to help others energetically.
And that leads only to ruin.
If the path of helping others is truly an individual’s destiny, it will happen. And the first step is to help oneself.
That is the safest path. Because the moment a person begins to help others, the first thing they must address is protecting themselves.
And accepting responsibility for providing energetic help. Which, if it is not pure, can cause harm.
Both to the one giving the help and to the one receiving it.
Do you work with energies?
And do you know the rules?
And when you want to receive help, do you ask how the person offering help lives?
Perception and translation of energies
A person’s perception of energies—their ability to “read” and interpret them—depends on their sensitivity, conscious attention, work on their own personal growth, and, of course, experience.
Sensitivity to subtle energies is a quality that can be cultivated. The path to deeper perception leads through calmness in the present moment and observation without judgment or evaluation.
Personal growth is an essential part of this process. Without it, the observer interprets everything through their own patterns and filters.
The quality of the interpretation depends on the observer’s clarity and neutrality. The fewer limitations the observer has, the clearer the interpretation.
A dog's best friend
Dogs are the most loyal animals and have been by humans’ sides for centuries. I often see a lot of human traits in dogs. They really do resemble their humans… But… Do we truly want them to adapt to us completely?
To stop acting like dogs? To reflect our fears, bad habits, addictions, aggression, and insecurities?
Where is the line between when they are human companions and guides, and when they are merely living toys?
I sense that many people don’t really understand their dogs at all.
It seems natural to them that dogs fully adapt to humans and understand them, but in reality, that’s actually the exception.
People don’t even realize that a dog knows absolutely everything about its human—even things the human doesn’t know about themselves.
And yet, time and again, dogs trust and forgive people. They don’t dwell on what a person has or hasn’t done. They simply continue to accompany them and give them another chance to understand what they’re showing them.
A dog is a person’s best friend. Let’s be the same to them, with trust and respect. Let’s be the best leader of their pack.
The individuality of cats
I am often approached by clients who have one or more cats at home. When I look into their world in my reflections, I mainly perceive their independent personalities. Individualities that carry the main inspiration—either by themselves, at any cost.

Individualities that carry the main inspiration—either themselves, at any cost.
If there is an animal that would lay down its life at any time for life in human society, it is the cat.
Cats cleanse negativity from all people whom they sense need it.
When a cat rubs against a person’s legs, circles around them, or jumps into their lap, it is energetically cleansing them of negative energies.
For the same reason, a cat will cross or run across a person’s path.
And here we come to the individuality of cats. If there is so much negative energy that the cat cannot cleanse itself of it, it simply leaves its physical body. For example, in an accident.
Animals generally do not cling to their physical side. That is the domain of humans.
A horse and a man
I deliberately mention this order in the title.
I perceive horses as very powerful energetic and spiritual guides for humans.
Anyone who has ever been close to a horse, within its energy field, could feel it.
In pure, spiritual perception, the connection between horse and human appears to me as a centaur.
When a horse allows a human to sit on it – yes, that is how it really is, the horse allows it—at that moment, the human’s root chakra connects with the horse’s heart chakra.
A shared energy field is created, connecting the human to the earth through the horse’s body.
The fundamental difference is that a horse is connected to the ground at four points, whereas a person without a horse is connected at only two points.
So a rider on horseback has the highest energy point in their crown chakra connected to the source and is simultaneously connected to the ground at four points through the horse’s body.
This is a very powerful energetic connection, and in order for energy to flow freely, both horse and rider must also be connected mentally.
This means absolute calm, understanding, and harmony.
That is why very few riders actually experience this powerful energy.
Becoming a „centaur,“ connecting with the horse in trust and being equal partners while riding together, is a reward.
A reward for searching together for a mutual path and, for humans, especially the path to oneself.
A person can experience this if they are able to approach the horse with full presence, respect, calmness, without prejudice or plans, and with love for themselves and the animal.
Mission of dogs
A dog’s life mission is not only to show people what they can change for their own good, but also to draw negative energy and illness away from their human. In extreme cases, to lay down their life for them.
This means that if a person suppresses their feelings or needs—which is the root cause of every illness—the dog can take on this negative energy and become ill in their human’s place.
Understanding the cause of a dog’s behavior and difficulties is essential for changing the situation. Is the dog sick? Then we need to ask what the person can change in themselves.
Animal therapy
I have noticed a large number of offers for animal therapy. Mainly with horses.
I am not referring to classic hippotherapy or canine therapy, where animals are specially trained and help predominantly through touch or movement.
In my reflections, I contemplate „energy“ therapies, in which people pay for natural energy assistance from animals.
I perceive a great spiritual misunderstanding on the part of people regarding animal guides and their natural assistance.
Animals mainly help the people they accompany, which is why their lives become intertwined—regardless of how long it lasts.
However, the essence of their help is voluntary. They approach those whom they perceive to be in need of help, according to their own pure choice, entirely voluntarily.
If a person brings an individual or a group of people to their animal for planned, paid therapy, it is a great misunderstanding of the animal world.
Many horses I have encountered after such „therapies“ showed me that this act on the part of humans was like rape or being cut alive.
Many of them had physical problems because they were unable to get rid of the negative energy they had absorbed in this way.
A question worth asking.
Would a pet owner invite a stranger to perform energy therapy on their pet if it were free?
Because volunteering animals help cannot be converted into monetary compensation.
Passing of animals
Animals do not cling to their physical bodies the way humans do. Shedding their physical form and entering a new one is completely natural for them.
This makes it all the more difficult for them to understand human attachment to the physical body. Human emotions associated with the passing of a loved one—often the best and closest person—are, of course, understandable.
But mourning and refusing to accept the passing, even years later, reflects a human failure to understand the cycle of life and the natural order of things.
Truly accepting a pet’s passing means feeling gratitude, understanding the lessons learned together, and thanking the animal for fulfilling its life’s purpose by accompanying its human companions.
It means expressing gratitude for their unconditional love, patience, and spiritual guidance right up until the very end.
Because with the understanding of the journey we shared comes relief and the release of negative emotions. And this frees up space for the next chapters of life.
