Comforting Scared Animals & Pets

Helping Your Animal Live Their Best Life Possible

May – June 2025 • Vol 4, No 16

Fear can affect animals in different ways. Your animal may act nervous, anxious, aggressive, destructive, or stressed. They may hide, vocalize, chew on their fur, or even self-mutilate. These actions can wreak havoc on your lives. Consider these holistic animal care (HAC) tips to help resolve your animal’s fears:

  • Probiotics, bee pollen, valerian tincture, chamomile tincture, and CBD oil may have a calming effect.
  • Chicken, lamb, and grains can create inflammation and may ‘heat up’ the body, making the issue worse.
  • Light blue is a soothing color. Light pink can help with separation anxiety. Place a towel or blanket where your animal can lay on or near it to get the energy from that color. Keep in mind that red can amplify the undesirable behavior.
  • Some crystals that may help to reduce fears are Amber, Amethyst, Aventurine, Bloodstone, Hematite, Zebra Jasper, Kyanite, Rose Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Sodalite, Tiger’s Eye, and Turquoise.
  • Essential oils such as Bergamot, Clary Sage, Green Mandarin, Helichrysum, Lavender, Neroli, Roman Chamomile, Sweet Basil, Sweet Orange, Sweet Marjoram, Valerian and Ylang-Ylang may help with calming.
  • While Rescue Remedy, the Bach Flower Essence blend, may help in acute situations, a custom blend can help your animal release deep emotional baggage, which is causing or contributing to their behavior.
  • Sound therapy, such as Whole-Tones for Dogs, Through a Dog’s Ear, and Masaru Emoto’s Water Crystal Healing music CDs may help diminish fears.
  • Massage can provide relaxation that could alleviate fears. Gently massaging your animal’s chest or ‘arm pits’ may do the trick.
  • Using a special shirt or body wrapping with an elastic bandage may help your animal feel safe and secure.
  • Tell your animal out loud what you want them to do and picture it clearly in your mind. Do not focus on what you don’t want to happen, as your animal may pick up on that. Tell your animal they are safe, loved and have a forever home. Ask your animal yourself or have a communicator do so to find out why your animal is fearful and what they think will help relieve their fears.
  • Energy work may help resolve fears. Subscribe to our email list and learn more about how to offer energy work, and so much more. Gain access to over 200 HAC articles in the archives and receive free gifts when you join our email list here: com/join-our-email-list/.

While most behaviors are based on emotions, have your vet check your animal out to make sure there is not a physical reason. Want to know what will best help your animal?

You can muscle test the potential holistic methods to come up with a plan of action. Depending on which methods show up, you then muscle test specific details, such as which nutrition, crystals, essences, oils, etc. will help, along with administration methods, applicable amounts, frequency and duration. Muscle testing shows you the path to help your animal with their behavioral or health issues and live their best life possible.

Are You Ready to “FUAL” Your Life

for Yourself and Your Animals?

Kim Shotola
March – April 2025 • Vol 4, No 15

There is inner and outer turmoil going on with humanity, for Mother Earth and in the Cosmos —and it really all boils down to perceived frequencies. There is also knowledge being presented, leading to awareness, which can then result in consciousness expansion and action. This, too, is all due to frequencies. How many of us, though, are focusing on these frequencies?

There are so many frequencies happening, some of which you may not be aware of. These frequencies include and yet, go far beyond the astrological effects of the planets, the Sun and the Moon… There are also ley lines, dragon lines, and Feng Shui energies in the home and workspace. There are frequencies in the atmosphere, such as EMFs and 5G! And what about the UFOs/UAPs and ETs?

A great first step is being aware of all the various frequencies you and your animals are being exposed to, so you can then take any protective and reinforcing steps needed for the well-being of yourself and family, your animals, and others. But there’s more to just knowing what frequencies you and loved ones are living with.

Perception is a frequency regulator. When you view something as positive or negative, you are assigning it a frequency that most likely will affect your body, mind, and spirit in a corresponding way. We’ve taught for years that illness and disease for animals and people are mainly emotionally based. There’s plenty of research to support that, for instance, the incredible work of Dr. Edward Bach (1886–1936), developer of the Bach Flower Remedies, and Dr. Masaru Emoto (1943–2014), who wrote The Hidden Messages in Water.

When you view something as negative, you are bringing that emotion into your being. When fear is held onto, for instance, it can emit an undesirable frequency within and around you. That’s why if you eat healthy food out of fear of getting cancer—not just because you know it’s good for you— the “nourishing” food you are eating can actually fuel your body with fear-based energy, which can then bring about exactly what you feared.

This was truly the most important piece of information that I learned in a class I took last year, because this is what happened to my teacher. The knowledge I learned totally makes sense, but sometimes you need to hear things said in a different way, in a new light, for it to awaken a part of you that can understand it on a deeper level and have it resonate with your soul. THEN you can easily apply it to your life, because the frequency of the information is now fully integrated.

There is far more to the concept of frequencies than meets the eye, which affects your daily life and the life of those you care for.

Beyond comprehending the frequencies, there are ways to take action, including rewiring yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When you do act, what frequency is your state of being for that particular action?

It’s one thing to understand the frequencies and the bigger picture of what’s going on; it’s another to accept and to trust the truth of who you are as a divine soul. (This is a major frequency factor.) Then, you know where you are heading and how to take steps to “fuel” the life you desire.

Animals, fantastical beings, and other life-forms want to help you with this! Dinosaurs have been consistently reaching out to us to let us know they want to help people and animals with new information. We would be honored to assist you through our new class that we’ve been strongly guided to teach. We have called it FUAL, which stands for:

  • Frequencies
  • Understanding
  • Acceptance
  • Living

All of these components are vital right now, and you can’t have one without the other. We want to provide you with the knowledge that can fuel your awareness. This is how you can take action in a frequency that fuels the life you desire. This is an interactive class. You will be provided with a class document, and we’ll be doing meditations and exercises that create frequency transformations.

Join us for this 3-Part FUAL Zoom Class on Wednesdays, March 12, 19 & 26, at 6:30 pm MT. If you’re unable to attend live, you’ll receive the class recordings and all materials, including the bonuses. Get ready to FUAL your life and the lives of those you love, including your animals! To learn more and to register, go to: TheLightfootWay.com/fual-zoom-class.

Holistic Animal Care

What Are Its Benefits & How Does It Help Animals?

Kim Shotola
January – February 2025 • Vol 4, No 14

Holistic animal care works on the whole animal to prevent and resolve issues on a body, mind and soul level, just like it benefits humans. What are some of the benefits of Holistic Animal Care (HAC)?

  • Ability to help ANY animal, ANY age, while in the comfort of their home.
  • Assists with physical conditions, such as arthritis, pain relief, digestive issues, skin conditions and ear problems.
  • Aids emotional and behavioral issues, such as anxiety, fear, aggression, hyperactivity and low confidence.
  • Spiritually, it can help animals cross over by bringing both of you comfort and peace. You have a connection that never ends.
  • Can save you time, money and an animal’s well-being.
  • Easy to learn when taught in a fun and simple way for children and adults.
  • It can be done by distance because HAC is energy based.

How does HAC help animals?

  • With animal communication, you can ask animals what they want, why they are acting like they are, how you can help them and more. Talk to them daily. Be aware of what you think and say because animals feed off your thoughts, emotions and words.
  • Energy work is simple but powerful. Even five minutes daily can benefit both animals and people.
  • Muscle testing can help you determine the best HAC methods that will help an animal. It also shows you the core diet, supplements and amounts the animal needs.
  • Color therapy can be offered by placing a towel, sheet or blanket on the floor where the animal can lay on or near it. For instance, light blue may help anxiety, light pink separation anxiety and yellow grief/depression. Muscle testing shows you the best color.
  • Flower essences work gently to release buried emotions that can manifest into health conditions. A custom, Bach Flower Essence blend using muscle testing is ideal.
  • Mother Earth has so much to offer, including herbal therapy, crystals, essential oils, homeopathy and more.
  • With a growing interest in the well-being of animals, more animal professionals are offering HAC services.

Marlie’s Story

Marlie was a yellow lab rescued by Cindy from a puppy mill. While vets had healed her physically, she was emotionally scarred. She would stay in her crate and not engage with Cindy’s other lab. We spoke to Marlie to find out that she never got a chance to be a mom and worried about her puppies and future. We did energy work on her. We told her it was ok to let the past trauma go and that she had a forever home with Cindy. As Marlie lay on the floor, her body started shaking with tremors. She let out the longest and loudest moan. She released her horrible past. She then got up off the floor and wagged her tail for the first time ever. Marlie was forever changed.

The Greatest Gift

You Can Give Your Animals

Kim Shotola
November – December 2024 • Vol 4, No 13

In an ideal world, the greatest gifts you could give to your animals would be a forever home filled with love and the ability to understand each other on a heart and soul level.

Most pet-parents adopt their animals. But did you know that many of those animals don’t realize that they have a forever home? Even if they’ve been with you for years, it’s possible they don’t know that you intend to keep them. If your animal acts anxious, apprehensive, depressed, stressed, or has an upset tummy, they may be living in fear that each day will be their last with you. Look deeply into your animal’s eyes and tell them verbally, “You have a forever home with me. Wherever I live, you will be with me. I’m your forever person.”

So, what’s this heart and soul comprehension all about? First, know that if your animal doesn’t have auditory issues, they do hear you when you speak out loud to them. They want you to talk to them daily. Tell them when you leave your home and when you’ll return. Share how your day went. Talk about plans you have. To help avoid behavioral issues, tell your animal what you want them to do, not what you don’t want them to do. Picture your desires clearly in your mind. Tell them what positive reward they’ll receive for good behavior, and be sure to follow through.

If you want a deeper connection with your animals, then animal communication is the way to truly understand each other. And, it’s a way to each animals with hearing problems. Animals have the ability to speak with us, and we have the innate ability to communicate with them. Talking to animals means connecting heart to heart, mind to mind, and receiving information from them in various forms, such as images, thoughts, words, emotions, and sensations. Everyone is intuitive. We are all “gifted.” So, this means that you’re capable of animal communication!

It’s just a matter of waking up this ability. You can take the first steps by reading educational materials. I have written many animal-communication articles for this magazine, such as:

  • The Heart and Soul of Animal Communication—Discusses what animal communication is, the many benefits, neat stories, and how it is learned.
  • Animals Have Messages for You!—Talks about how animals are in your life for a reason and the possible lessons they may be trying to teach you.
  • Are You Ready to Talk with Animals?—Provides steps for developing a stronger connection with your animals and learning how to “hear” them.

Holistic Animal Care:

Debunking the Myths

Kim Shotola
September – October 2024 • Vol 4, No 12

Holistic animal care (HAC) is sometimes referred to as natural, alternative or integrative care. HAC may seem spooky or just plain ‘out there.’ So, let’s shed light on some common myths:

* Holistic care is solely product-based, such as pet food, supplements, shampoos, etc.

HAC goes far beyond tangible products, as there are methods that involve the body, mind and spirit—like animal communication, muscle testing, energy work, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and even dog yoga.

* Holistic care methods focus mainly on acupuncture, chiropractic services and laser therapy.

While these therapies are common in holistic veterinary practices, HAC consists of so many modalities, in addition to the above, such as flower essences, aromatherapy, crystal therapy, color therapy, acupressure, massage and homeopathy. Holistic animal care is a growing field and more pet parents and animal professionals are learning how to help animals of all kinds and all ages to live happier, healthier and longer lives.

* Holistic care only works on an emotional level.

While most illness and disease are emotional based for both animals and people, HAC works to bring the whole body back into balance on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.

* Holistic care is difficult to learn.

The most common mistake people make is in applying human holistic protocols to animals, because animals are far more sensitive than we are. With proper knowledge, most holistic methods can be learned easily from the comfort of your home. If anyone tells you they’re ‘gifted,’ run from them, as that’s their ego speaking. Everyone is capable of learning how to offer HAC, including talking to animals.

* Holistic care is expensive.

HAC can be affordable. Muscle testing is the key to finding out exactly what nutrition and methods your animal needs and the order of priority, along with respective amounts and proper time frame. For in-stance, if your animal needs aromatherapy, muscle testing can tell you the correct essential oils, application process, number of drops, frequency and duration. HAC can save you time, money and your animal’s well-being.

* Holistic care takes a long time to see results.

You can have immediate results with HAC. Not every animal or situation will respond right away, but many will. HAC can help improve or resolve the majority of physical and behavioral issues.

* Holistic care is only appropriate for occasional use.

When HAC is part of your regular routine, you’ll see the rewards. Get hooked, and you’ll crave the ability to provide the best for the animals in your care.

Keep in mind that when you learn how to help animals, you can apply these techniques for your own benefit as well. HAC is a great complement to traditional veterinary care. Team up with a holistic vet, but don’t be afraid to learn some HAC methods yourself. Make holistic animal care a way of life, not a last resort. There’s nothing to be scared about. And your animals will thank you!

What Do Animals Wish for You?

Animals Wish to Awaken Your Heart & Soul Connection!

Kim Shotola
July – August 2024 • Vol 4, No 11

Animals are on a quest to awaken and enlighten your heart and soul connection. Animals have been watching your soul since before you were born—the animals with you now, animals from your past, animals in spirit, the wild animals and the animal essences (also referred to as guides or totems) are all here to help you become what they already envision.

What do they wish for you and the rest of humanity? A world where you understand animals and people on a heart and soul level. A world where you embrace, utilize and share the messages and gifts from the animals, nature and Mother Earth. The animals are a window to your soul and a doorway to your spiritual destiny. If you let them into your life and allow them to teach you, you will be better for it. The animals can show you the present, help you learn from the past and propel you to your future. They can help heal you on a body, mind and spirit level. The animals can reveal your soul path to align with and ignite your true soul purpose. They are here on a mission far greater than most realize.

The wisdom of the animals can bring you love, joy, gratitude, clarity and abundance to your life like never before. Do you want to embark on this breathtaking journey with them to awaken and magnify your inner wisdom, divine light and sacred connection to all? Here’s some simple ways to get started:

  • Ground yourself, meditate and spend time in nature. Try to do this with your animals.
  • Be aware of what you put on or surround your animals with. There are many toxic chemicals in pet, human, household and lawn products. Use chemical-free products or create your own.
  • Utilize Mother Earth’s medicine chest, just like animals do in nature. Holistic animal care can help prevent illness and heal on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.
  • Talk to your animals daily about how your day was, when you feel sad, your hopes and dreams, etc. Connect your heart to your animal’s heart.
  • Pay attention to the messages from wild animals. Are you seeing an animal repeatedly, in an unusual situation or one you rarely see? Do an Internet search for that animal totem.
  • Consider learning animal communication, so you can communicate with all animals and nature. Everyone has this innate ability, it’s just a matter of waking it up. When you learn how to do this, you can know what your animal is thinking, how you can help them and how they can help you. You will understand the life lessons they’re trying to teach you.
  • Be aware of what’s happening to Mother Earth and all living beings, including species loss and climate change. Many amazing youths are taking a stand globally. Know how this affects all life and act.

Your Rainbow Bridge—

Animals Are Trying to Reach You…

Kim Shotola
May – Jun 2024 • Vol 4, No 10

The heart and soul connection with an animal or human loved one is eternal. After a loss, it can be hard to move forward in life, and this grief can be devastating. Many people believe they won’t see their loved ones again or be able to communicate with them. That’s not so.

Those that have crossed into the spirit world are often trying to reach you in tangible ways such as:

  • You have a dream about them.
  • You see an indentation on your bed or other furniture.
  • You notice something of theirs has been moved.
  • You see a glimpse of a shadow, an outline, or their physical likeness.
  • You notice an animal in your home is staring at something, and you don’t understand why.
  • You sense their presence near you.
  • You feel their touch on your body.

Patty’s beloved cat, LC, passed away. She deeply missed him, especially since she was challenged with many debilitating health issues. When I let Patty know about these signs, she noticed LC would visit her whenever she wasn’t feeling well. She could see indentations on her bed. She could feel him next to her. Some- times, she could even see LC. When he visited, she enjoyed talking to him. Years later, Patty still lets me know that LC comes to see her, and she is forever grateful for his devoted love.

Love is everlasting. If you pay close attention, you can notice the signs. If you aren’t sure, you can picture your loved one in your mind or look at their photo. Then, speak out loud to them, as if they’re right in front of you. Let them know you’d love to see a sign that they’re present.

You may have noticed that many animal and human souls are departing right now. Some are actually leaving to aid in humanity’s consciousness expansion. Did you know that those in the spiritual realm can provide incredible wisdom and guidance for you? By speaking with them, you can even increase the development of your overall, innate, and intuitive abilities at a faster rate because you are functioning at a higher vibration.

Consider some ways that you can continue to have a relationship with your loved ones that have passed on. For instance:

  • You can speak out loud to them regularly and tell them your thoughts and wishes.
  • You can ask them to visit you in your dreams.
  • You can meditate and ask them to come forward to be a part of your meditation.
  • You can have a conversation with them with the assistance of a medium.
  • You can learn to telepathically communicate with your loved ones in an animal-communication, mediumship, or intuition-development workshop.

Know that you’re forever connected to your loved ones that are in spirit, both animals and humans. The heart-and-soul bond is undeniable and can even be taken to profound heights of connection, empowerment, and love.

Helping Your Animals with Healing Energy

Sacred Animal Spirit Alchemy Zoom Class in May

Kim Shotola
Mar – Apr 2024 • Vol 4, No 9

We all have this amazing life force inside of us that can help animals and people. Because we all are matter and matter is energy, methods that utilize energy have the ability to heal on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. For animals, energy work has the ability to:

  • Release and heal emotions from traumatic situations such as abuse, neglect, accident, or injury.
  • Resolve behavioral issues by providing relaxation and reducing stress and anxiety.
  • Heal illness and injuries more quickly.
  • Require less anesthesia, so animals recover more easily from sedation.
  • Bring comfort and peace to you and your pet when they cross the rainbow bridge.
  • Open the doorway to animal communication. (Energy work can deepen your heart and soul connection.)

It is only natural to place your hand over an injured area of your body. Most people have no idea why they have this innate response. Here’s how you can offer basic healing energy to your pet:

  1. Sit on the floor (or furniture if needed) about 5–10 feet from your pet. It is best to start off with some distance as some animals are sensitive to energy.
  2. Set your intention to send healing energy to your pet for their greatest good, that your pet should only take whatever amount of energy they want to, and what they don’t use goes where it’s needed in the universe.
  3. Tap the center of your chest and your collarbone with your fingertips to awaken the energy. Rub your palms together.
  4. Let your arms hang naturally. Place your hands next to one another with your palms angled towards your pet. Allow energy to flow from your hands.
  5. If your pet moves away, stay where you are and send energy from the greater distance. In time, they will probably seek the energy and want to be close. It is never necessary to touch them, though. Let your animal show you how much energy they desire.

I taught Reiki and other energy work for many years. I was then guided by the animals and Saint Francis of Assisi to create an energy-work program they wanted people to learn called Sacred Animal Spirit Alchemy (SASA.) It took two, patient years to receive the curriculum from them, and since early 2016, we have taught SASA to students from all over the world. SASA is energy in its purest, natural form. The animals and nature help you to:

  • Strengthen your connection with them by raising your frequency.
  • Receive their ancient wisdom and knowledge.
  • Become in tune with them by enhancing your innate abilities.
  • Nurture and direct the sacred energy within yourself.
  • Offer healing for animals, people, and situations based on their guidance.

Energy work helps you to become more grounded and in tune with yourself, others, and animals. Know that you are a beacon of light and love, connected to the animals and nature. SASA helps to raise your spiritual awareness so that you may impact the universe and bring joy and healing to all living things. The animals and nature come together to teach you profound and life-changing energy work.

Consider offering basic healing energy to the animals in your care. See the difference you can make. Perhaps you will be inspired to explore and learn more!

The Language of Love

Between Animals & Humans

Kim Shotola
July – August 2022 • Vol 3, No 122

While pets desire a forever home filled with love, they also long for the ability for humans and animals to understand one another on a profound heart and soul level.

Animals want to assist you with expanding your consciousness. Those from your past, your present, and even from the wild come to you with messages that reveal their ancient wisdom and can ignite your soul purpose. This awareness can even help you and your animals heal in body, mind and spirit.

Animals can teach you many life lessons and how to take action. They can help you magnify your inner wisdom and sacred connection to all. Animals can show you how to utilize your innate abilities and Mother Earth’s medicine chest.

How do you help animals accomplish their mission that many people don’t realize? Besides providing unconditional love to them, they would be forever grateful if people could learn the language of love through interspecies communication. Other life forms already know how to do this, and animals are excited about the growing numbers of people that are taking this crucial step in humanity’s evolution.

EFT TAPPING for Animals & People

EFT is also known as Emotional Freedom Technique and Tapping. An energy method that started in psychotherapy practices, EFT practitioners noticed that amazing physical healings were also occurring. They found the reason this was happening was because EFT can address emotional causes or energy disruptions in the body, and traditional medicine does not focus on this aspect.

Just as in people, animals can have emotional problems that are expressed through disruptive behaviors or health issues. EFT has helped animals that have been through

a traumatic experience, such as a fire, hurricane, car accident, mental or physical abuse, or loss of a beloved human or animal friend.

EFT has the ability to help animals diminish or eliminate issues such as:

  • Anxiety due to being separated, going to the vet, etc.
  • Known or suspected past mental or physical abuse
  • Known fears such as thunderstorms or fireworks
  • Unknown fears
  • Aggression towards people and other animals
  • Depression and grief
  • Health issues such as pain, allergies and sensitivities
  • Lack of harmony with other animals and people
  • Training and focus problems

Most people are familiar with the terms acupuncture and acupressure, where certain points are stimulated on the body of people and animals. EFT is done by tapping on energy meridian points with your finger tips that tie in with particular emotions and organs.

People can easily learn EFT to help conditions they are facing along with learning how to assist animals and other people with their challenges. The traditional way of doing EFT is to tap on particular points on the body and say particular phrases. There is a wonderful intuitive way of doing this.

Because animals are so sensitive, holistic methods, including EFT, should be adjusted accordingly. We created an EFT Muscle Testing Flow Chart to determine if EFT will benefit an animal and if so, the ideal way and then the proper method of delivery, such as tapping on a person for the animal, tapping on a stuffed animal for the animal, or tapping directly on the animal. The last rarely is the best delivery method since it can be uncomfortable for the animal or cause distress. The amount of sessions an animal needs can also be determined, knowing that animals often respond more quickly than humans to all kinds of energy work.

An incredible benefit of EFT is that when a human does tap on their own body to help another person or an animal, the tapping has the ability to also help them. This commonly occurs and is called “borrowed benefits.” For instance, a lady in a small class I was teaching was doing EFT to help other ladies in the group. When it came her time for those in the group to tap for her, the tremendous pain in her leg where before even a subtle touch was excruciating was totally gone—she could slap her leg repeatedly with her hand and felt no pain at all.

EFT is a beautiful, energetic modality that can assist many, including animals. If you don’t know how to do it, perhaps you’ll consider learning it.
