My Guinea Pig Made Me Gamble

In 2007 I adopted a guinea pig that looked just like a horse.  He had a big blaze on his nose and a star on his forehead.  I named him Pi after the horse in National Velvet. 

After a few weeks of living with me he declared that he used to be a horse but he didn’t like standing around alone in a pasture all the time.  He chose a guinea pig body because he really liked hay.  He was still working on the size difference and thanked me for taking care and listening to him.

Just before the 2008 Kentucky Derby Pi made another declaration.  "Big Brown is going to win but watch out for the filly". I decided that I would find out how I could place a bet and then proceeded to go completely unconscious and forgot completely.

The next day I found out that Big Brown did win and that the filly (which rarely run) tragically died after breaking 2 ankles; euthanized on the track. WOW!

I asked him how he knew this stuff and he told me he knew Big Brown from other horse lives.  It was then that I began to see the connection of horses and guinea pigs. 

My, experience up till then, has been very much on the guinea pig side but the following summer I went out to a few stables and began to see so many of these horses that had been guinea pigs and vice-versa.  I was amazed at the size difference but there is a great similarity in how they live and what they eat and their social behavior.

In the years since I have always checked in with the Kentucky Derby, sometimes picking the winner but not placing a bet. Finally, last year when I took the plunge to bet I had no sense of who was even running!

But this year, while waiting for a table at one of my favorite restaurants w/*, I found a list of the horses and gave a short glance. Orb was my favorite and of course Golden Soul! This time I took the challenge and placed my bet. There was a lot of energy on that. Odds, trustworthy places to bet, is this legal?

I tuned in for the race and there it all happened! From behind, Orb took the whole show and amazingly Golden Soul came in 2nd!

Pi passed away 4 years ago and when he died I saw him as an amazing horse bounding away. I am so pleased that he turned me onto this amazing communication with horses.

I dedicate my winnings to my sweet, beautiful guinea pig, Velvet Brown Pi.

Odie’s Astral Body Was Jacked.

One of the healings I offer is an Astral Body Healing. Astral bodies are very much like physical bodies, it is the spiritual body that you dream with. It is the next less dense body from the physical, an exact copy that clips into the physical. Astral bodies take on a lot of energy. Astral Bodies help to clear energy before it hits the physical body. It can also hold on to energy thus rendering the physical body impaired in some way. When the astral body is the effect of this energy they can look very different than the physical body it reflects. Sometimes this energy is not even from this lifetime.

I gave Odie a healing a couple nights ago. It was an astral body healing, not a usual healing that I do with animals. Odie’s astral body was jacked. His astral body looked like a fossil. Not just bones, but bones that had turned to iron. It was like a spine, rib cage and lower jaw that had fossilized. So, when Odie slept and came back to his physical body this armature pinched and grabbed his little body. He has always had a hard time waking up. He growls and lunges if you even say good morning. It has always seemed that he is disoriented, not sure what is real. I have always thought this was primarily because he is blind (Odie is blind due to severe glaucoma which forced the removal of both eyes), but now after seeing his astral body, I know that there is more at work here.

 When I began the healing of his astral body, the armature demanded that I just look at it. Hold space for the pain that Odie has endured and have reverence for the dramatic shift that was taking place. Odie was unsure of what else there could be if this were not part of his reality. I moved it off to the side and let it and Odie rest. In the mean time I helped him rebuild his astral body, restoring from the original blue print from this lifetime; what he came in to be. I saw Odie as a little puppy, cute and perky and sweet. This is just a small part of a big blue light that encompasses Odie’s whole spirit. After bringing the original blue print in, Odie was much more open to letting the old armature go. He allowed me to erase it. I can still see that he has a mental image picture that it is still there, but it is de-energized, holding no charge. It sits outside his aura, like a postcard, and everyday is fading more and more allowing Odie to experience what is going on around him without this painful filter. I brought his astral body into present time and clipped it into his physical body. Odie slept through much of his healing and just as I finished clearing out his aura he awoke and smacked his lips. I went to bed.

In the morning I awoke to hear Odie’s familiar growls but there was an added sound of self-soothing. An almost swallowed sound, one that he makes when he is begging for food and knows not to bark. Shortly after that he began to dance around happily prancing and ready for his day. We went for a nice walk knowing that from this day forward all is different. He still may have bad days, but he no longer has to endure the discomfort of a fossilized armature squeezing him all the time.

I have had Odie for almost 2 years now. There is not a week that goes by that there isn’t some major shift. Maybe he’s cranky, maybe he’s happy, maybe I just can’t handle him anymore, it all just keeps moving forward. This week I think we have turned a corner, a new beginning. We have found enough safety to finally have this healing.

Just think, if this can be so profound for a little blind dog, just imagine what it will do for your life…

Happy New Year!

2012 was a year of transition, out of an old paradigm into a new fresh place full of unknowns and wildest dreams.

2013 promises to be no less. The intensity will be of new beginnings instead of tremendous ending, but there will be changes. We started new on 12/22/12 and are creating and receiving our creations simultaneously. I want to invite you to your best year yet.

To help you in this process, beginning January 13, I will be teaching a beginning Meditation class on Sundays for 6 weeks. This is a wonderful place to begin your new and best year yet.

Meditation 1 is all about you finding you – focusing on simple tools and techniques to help you get grounded and stay grounded as well as to find your space and protect it. Meditation is a great way to connect to your energy and de-stress as well as to help heal and clear the body of disease and pain.

This course is also offered as a tele-course. Course cost: $175. This class is open to everyone regardless of meditation experience.

Sign up today at http://sevenlevelscoaching.com/sign-me-up-quick/http://sevenlevelscoaching.com/sign-me-up-quick/ and start your new year and new life off clearly knowing that you are ready for everything that is coming your way.

Happy Anniversary Odie

It has been 3 month over a year since I adopted Odie from Thee Fishbowl in Evanston IL. And what a year it has been!

Odie came to me tired and worn. He slept for the first week and was very docile in the beginning. We had our challenges as to who was in charge. We both had our meltdowns. I was helped tremendously by Marlene from Bark Busters.

Odie has traveled with me to Cleveland, North Carolina and New Mexico. He loves to be in the car and sees traveling as a great partnership…even when I steer him into a pole on occasion (by accident!).

One of the things I learned early on with him is that he is an agent of change. Who knows in how many homes he has lived. He is so well trained and understands the nuances of a house (furniture, cats, stairs, treats). 

Odie came in at a time when I was working for myself, having just moved to Evanston and spending a lot of time at home. He seemed to take it upon himself to get me out of the house. Sometimes with him, but more importantly, for longer periods of time! And lo, come October, just 5 short months into our relationship, I had a new full time job at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. And away I go, off to work. Odie enjoys the routine of morning and evening walks and is so much more attached to the routine of the activity instead of the time of the activity. Phew! He lets me sleep in on the weekends.

After another couple of months he made it clear that he was uncomfortable due to the severe glaucoma he was suffering from. He and I made a plan to raise the money for his surgery. I told him that if he really wanted this to happen he needed to spend those long leisurely naps talking to people and telling them what he needed. With great enthusiasm he agreed and within a month we had raised enough money to cover the cost of his surgery (double eye enucleation).

Odie’s surgery was an adventure in and of itself. The poor boy struggled with tremendous pain but came through it like a champ. Every day he still continues to improve and now his fur is growing back so beautifully making him the lion head dog he truly is!

Odie has opened up so many doors to me in one short year. I wonder what other amazing adventures he will take me on. I hope that I can bring as much joy to his life as he has brought me as we continue to grow and change together discovering everything we cannot see come manifest. I believe that we fulfill each other’s dreams, with an occasional meltdown in between.

Join me in toasting my favorite Ph.D. program as I welcome Odie to his first year anniversary with me.

Odie's Eyes Update

Two weeks ago Odie had his surgery. It was a whirlwind few days. We returned from New Mexico on Thursday afternoon and went straight to the groomer where all of

Odie's sweet fluff was shorn away. He was given a surgical shave from his head to shoulders (to prevent any matting from wearing a cone) and a "skirt" was left around his belly and legs to keep him warm.
During the groom Odie would not let his chin be trimmed leaving him with a little Foo Man Chu beard. I also requested a heart shaved on his back so the vet would remember how loved he was (thank you Dave @ Kriser's for such a great job!).

We came home and had a quiet night in anticipation for an early morning. Up, out and at the vet by 8 AM. After I dropped Odie off I came home and brought Ralfie (my blind girl cat) to be groomed. It seems she has quit that job for herself. She has been shaved into a lion cut. She looks like a 90-year-old, chain smoking super model; wrinkly, cranky but so full of style (it was a rough day to be blind in my house!). After that I waited for news from the vet. He called and said Odie went through the surgery very well and had no swelling. He was awake and recovering well. The Doctor was amazed at the size of his eyes. He prepared me for Odie being in pain due to his optic nerve being moved about and all. (Ack) I was scheduled to pick him up at 4:30 PM.

When I picked him up he was very groggy but happy to see me, tail wagging, happy sniffs. I had a down blanket for him and set him up in the car. The vet tech brought him out and we were on our way home. He looked bad. Well, I guess he looked like he just had surgery. I wrapped him in his blanket and put him on the couch where he slept for most of the evening. Francy, my amazing healer spent a lot of time nuzzled next to him on his blanket. He was on a lot of drugs and really out of it. I gave him an injection before bed and it was a quiet night with a 4 AM walk. Saturday he came to a little bit more but still spent most of the day on the couch. Sunday morning he seemed to be coming out of it all, but as the day progressed he was in increasing pain, whimpering and shaky. I found that I didn't have enough pain medication to last until the vet reopened on Tuesday (New Year Holiday) so that evening we found ourselves at the Vet ER for more pain meds. That was the worst night. He was only pain free for about 3 hours at a time so there was a lot of up and down giving more meds and trying to keep him warm and comfortable. He had great improvement on Monday and by the evening was functioning with very little pain meds. Tuesday I went back to work and by the time I got home he was doing very well. Unhappy to wear the cone, but resting. My friend Patricia came by and they had a great cuddle session! He lay next to her and snored away. Ahhh, the other side!

Since then he has progressively improved. He has his stitches removed 3 days ago and is looking really good. Soon, the scabs will be gone and his fur will have grown back. By the summer it will be hard to see that he doesn't have eyes.

Behaviorally, I can see that he is so much more comfortable. He walks with more confidence and is less skittish. The other day he came and nuzzled his little face with mine. He has never done that before. So, this is a VAST improvement from where he was when he had eyes. I have taken him out on some errands and all who know him have seen the incredible difference. He will only continue to improve and get more comfortable. 

Odie has a new lease on life. Thanks to all of your donations I was able to pay for the surgery with the money raised. AND thank you for all of your support. Knowing that Odie and I were in your thoughts and prayers throughout this time gave great comfort to us both. We are definitely on the other side of the surgery but there is still recovery happening. Odie is learining to live his life pain free. We are getting to know each other again in a new way. Trusting each other on a whole new level. I am so happy that I adopted this little guy. He is amazing and will continue to teach me how to be in the moment and keep moving forward even if you can't see what is ahead.

Thank you again and Happy New Year to You! May this year be bright, beautiful and divinely guided!
Love,
Alicia & Odie
(and Francy, Ralfie, Five, Hazel (cats), Fermi and Agape (guinea pigs), and the fish!)
