Most definitely, I greatly appreciated you sharing that.
Many of the experts say this is how it happens. This is why I appreciate Andrew bringing up the term "HEART MINDā so much. Very powerful.
Experts talk about this even more. Very cool you experienced both the images and the words.
I have heard the experts say this as well. Have seen it too. Often the animal will hang on, well overtime dispite lots of sickness and pain, until the owner gets another pet
Sounds like pure or purer awareness to me.
Very glad you shared this. Heard people talk about the brain as a reducing valve for awareness, maybe as his deteriorated it increased the awareness, and you got the authentic dose of (Gods/the Universeās/Buddha mind) love!

I have good newsā¦
Solimar, my dog, has a new friend - Sandy, from a neighbor who leaves very near 
I did a drawing of her:
They are together here at home everyday since Monday to create memories for Solimar of being together with another dogā¦
He started barking again and his appetite has improved.
They also go for walks together and itās wonderful to see themā¦
I am so grateful.
We were all touched by Ninaās death and this possibility of Solimar being with a friend without us having to assume full responsibility for her, is perfect!
thank you Life.

This made me really happy. Love the eyes in the pic, you captured the light perfectly.
Sounds like a big improvement. When they start eating again that is a very good sign.

@BlessingsDeers, you are going to love @Bianca_Aga s video:
Respect is huge.
So many other great points it makes. The part about knowing yourself and your internal states, and motives is very important too.

when Iām together with them - Solimar and Sandy, here at home, what keeps me present is singing - also to deeply enjoy being with them.
~this dance with Solimar is being highly healing for me.
I accept his decision of not eating and perhaps wanting to go and, at the same time I do all I can to keep him here.
I also find myself respecting myself and my needs, so that I can also respect him fully.
I notice a big difference with dogsā¦ they are now much more attracted to meā¦
Solimar is also much closer to me.
Today I was with him early in the morning, a beautiful day, I started drawing outside and thenā¦ started crying, realizing that I wanted to go out and have a free morning. So I did 
I moved beyond what is perfect for him (me going with him - he LOVES exploring nature) to what I needed at that moment. So, yes, for me to have a relationship with a dog that hasnāt been castrated, I need to have a strong relationship with myself.
This video reminded me of the white beam of light @NightHawk999 ā¦ I will do that tomorrow with Sandy and see what happens.
Thank you for sharing this video beloved @Bianca_Aga .

let me know how it goes.
how did she react to the singing? I have heard creative things like this can help put the mind in a creative state, which is then conducive to meditative states and then communication

She now gives me kisses - if I let her, liking my mouthā¦ hihihi
I feel that finally, I have established a connection with her.
In the end of our time together, I was speaking with her care giver and Sandy came to sit next to me.
We also had an adventure near the beach and when I called her, she came (God was helping a bit in this case - we will never go back to that place again). It reminded me of one of your comments about my astrological chart - me going to places others do not dare to goā¦ I simply feel the calling and, on the spot, I am guided. When I come back home, after this kind of adventures, since a child, I often think āHow was that possible?ā Now I know - itās indeed Divine Guidance.
They both relax a lot when Iām singing. But my favorite is still the white beam heart to heart 
thanks for that

Going to try to watch this movie this week, thank you @_Barry for the recommendation:

Octopus is the only meat I never eat since 2011. (And pig since 2009.)
I had a close contact with an octopus and chose, from that day on, to not eat them anymore. They are fascinating creatures
this movie seams to be very interesting. just the introduction was highly inspiring.
This morning something truly beautiful happenedā¦
I went out with Solimar at 6am. When we got back, he asked me to give him water from my hand. In that moment a bird was singing, coming closer and closer, singing stronger and strongerā¦ I felt it was Nina with usā¦ Solimar drank A LOT of water. This inspires me to call on her presence more often when Iām together with Solimar and in the house to bless us with her grace, compassion and nobility.
I also remembered an article I wrote last year about the benefits of singing @NightHawk999ā¦ inspired by the question you had about me singing when Iām with them (I have less time to do it now that Iām dedicating more time to Solimar and Sandy so this is a way of making the most of our time together, besides helping me to keep present and enjoy our time together). Thought you might enjoy it, also because it has a direct connection to our dreams and lucidity:
"Every time I talk to people about singing, a part of me gets frustrated! Especially after hearing SO MANY people say that āthey donāt sing at allā. Thatās what drives me crazy, itās not singing.
If thereās one thing that fascinates me, itās hearing someone sing their original song. No judgement. Thatās the key. It can be scary at first, but in part, itās just because itās unfamiliar, unusual or different from the people we like to hear sing.
I USUALLY SING ABOUT AN HOUR A DAY AND THE STRUCTURE IS VERY SIMPLE:
I have a playlist that is constantly updated with songs I like to sing. I listen to it and follow the melodies, at my own pace and with my tones. By doing this regularly, singing and humming come naturally throughout the day, in the most diverse situations.
WHAT SCIENTISTS DISCOVERED ABOUT SINGING AND HUMMING:
Ā» It seems that when we sing we create infrared light (the language of cells). According to the findings of Dr. Gerald Pollack, it is this infrared light that builds structured water in cells. This structured water gives us electricity, which is what keeps us alive and with more energy;
Ā» All of our thoughts create sounds that reverberate throughout the body and literally create cymatic patterns (waves of energy) on the surface of the membranes of every cell in our body. Singing produces harmony and beauty in these cymatic patterns;
Ā» The Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen discovered in 2012 that the main role of our bodiesā nervous system is to conduct sound. In other words, electrical impulses from nerves are a bi-product of sound. Singing can help harmonize the nervous system and regulate its correct functioning;
Ā» Being immersed in the sounds of ancestral medicine and singing empowers our vital force;
Ā» Low singing frequencies releases oxygen, which can release chronic pain - discovery made by research physicist John Stuart Reid;
Ā» Our body temperature is optimized for sound transmission and the entire body vibrates when we sing;
Ā» The beating of our heart serves to pump blood throughout the body, exert pressure with its pulsation and also to produce sound. Our bodyās natural sound produces light and electricity. Singing and relaxing increases low frequencies, identical to those of the heart, especially when we sing long, soft tones. Vocalizing simple, long tones allows the bodyās cells time to receive stable and harmonious vibrations, lowering brain waves from beta to alpha states, favoring entry into a sacred and intuitive internal space;
Ā» Singing or humming for five minutes stimulates the vagus nerve, responsible for many aspects of our biology, from mental clarity to improved sexual function;
Ā» Our voice is an aspect of our consciousness and an extraordinary acoustic amplifier;
Ā» Of the various areas of the brain that are activated during the act of singing, one of them is the increase in irrigation in the prefrontal cortex. One of the functions of this part of our brain is to manage our expectations and the way we contribute to society. Singing directly affects the biology of our body - when we sing the body associates it with āeverything is fineā;
Ā» Singing also activates several glands in our brain whose functions are essential for us to sleep well, intuit well and be happier and more loving.
WHAT I NOTICE WITH THIS PRACTICE:
Ā» since I sing regularly I notice that I am more of active, elegant and loving in the way I communicate with others;
Ā» my ability to listen to others improves - to follow the music I have to listen to it. Even if I āgo out of tuneā and participate with originality, I am listening to the background music;
Ā» positive mental images arise in the act of singing;
Ā» more creative ideas arrive for projects and everyday life;
Ā» that singing elevates me;
Ā» strengthens my originality;
Ā» I accept myself as I am and have growing self-love;
Ā» improvement in my cognitive capacity;
Ā» it is an intuitive way of getting closer to each other in sound, in connection with peopleās soul and ancestry - especially when I play the shamanic drum and sing from these unique tones;
Ā» As a human being, I still tend to give up on things five minutes before the miracle happens. Singing goes against this natural characteristic;
Ā» Attracts good mood. The next thing I know, everyone in the house sings too;
Ā» it all started in 2006 when I became a mother - I discovered that singing helped me maintain presence and loving contact with my son and the connection with the whole, especially nature;
Ā» helps me to have more conscious dreams and remember them;
Ā» It is the spiritual practice in my life that gives me the most pleasure.
and now? Iām going to sing, what about you?"

Love this and your recommendation about spending time singing or humming each day.
I also think OMs or mantras can be beneficial if someone doesnt want to sing.

Yes, Dave Asprey (father of bio-hacking who has spent millions of dollars researching on this kind of things) says that humming 5m a day is quite enough to do the jobā¦ which is AMAZING!

I believe this 100% Thats basically hmming or singing 1 song a day. Simple but powerful.
Do you remember me telling you about singing while out camping this summer?
Was doing a water bottle bath by a bonfire and it started to rain lightly, right when i stared bathing, and it made me sing:
I was inspired by one of your posts to do more of this, as I had not done so in a while. Very energizing and revitalizing!

UAU!.. animals are so intelligentā¦ and evolvedā¦
My first dream tonight I was saying to my father that it was difficult for me to let go of Solimarā¦ the impression was that we were going to star a new journey and Solimar was staying behindā¦ the truth is that me and my father we LOVE travelingā¦ and itās a challenge every time we do it and keep Solimar in a good shapeā¦ (my mother is 83 years old!) so usually I go and then my father goes, so that heās not alone with my momā¦
Ā» the dreams after were AMAZINGā¦ I was walking in water and flying
Solimar has been eating at the house of Sandyās caregiver - the only place where he has really an appetite - besides food with saltā¦ that is not good for him. But we will try now to do it one day here, one day there.
February is the month of his birthā¦ four years ago.
Iām ready to let him go, and also to keep him in case he wishes to stay.

Have you tried feeding him boiled chicken?
When my dog used to not eat, I would make an omelet, and feed her one of the raw egg yolks on top of her food. I would show her me doing it, sit or lay her by the food bowl and then ask her to eat kindly, and walk away giving her the freedom to eat or not eat in peace.
