The Healing Power of Animals

Welcome to Heal Talk Tuesday with Liza, where
transformation begins as we evoke, embrace, and evolve.
Greetings greetings greetings and welcome to Heal Talk Tuesday.
This is Liza. It’s so good to be here with you, isn’t it?
Today’s episode is all about soul, and I hope that you had an amazing
and delightful weekend, no matter where you were, and how you celebrated.
So many went to the Talk celebrating Memorial weekend, literally giving the
morium to those who gave their lives to help this country be the free that it is.
And I did put a post in there, and it was about nothing in life
is free, right? Especially our freedom does not come for free.
So, but today I’m going to talk about something light. It’s about the
kind of healing that doesn’t come from words, but it is from energy.
It is about connection, and it is about love, actually, the silent love. Because
when we connect spiritually, physically, emotionally, yeah, that’s amazing.
Because this past weekend, actually, yesterday I had the
opportunity to be on a podcast. You will get to see the podcast.
The podcast was with someone absolutely amazing, and a gem, a spirit
woman, just ball of energy, and also a horse woman, delightful.
She trains horses, she works with horses, and she said, “Would you like to come to
the staples and see the horses?” You know, I’ve always had an amazing connection with
horses. Many, many years ago, maybe, over a decade ago, I had a partnership with some
horses and everything, and I’ve been around horses, and I think the answer was what?
Yes. So, a secret moment that I had with my
friends’ horse, her name, his name, was Bolero.
So, I did put a post. I did do a story, and if you haven’t seen it by all means, please
check my Facebook post or Instagram, and I put it on story just having this horse
around delightful time with her horse. Just being near horses reminded me of
something I already knew deep within, and that’s healing doesn’t have to be loud.
Because it’s a silent, healing is connection, and that’s why the name
of my company, when I put together my business, was healed within.
So, when asked me how I came about picking this as my business name,
because over 25 years ago, when I healed through hypnotherapy that
I no longer needed to have my third ovarian cyst surgery, I came back
from that, and it was one Friday night sitting at home by myself.
I had just gotten a divorce years ago, and everything
was still fresh. I was sad, and I had done this
hypnotherapy session with Patricia Burbank, who
was a hypnotherapist then, and it was in Pasadena.
Everything was so fresh, so new, the healing that I had
gone back to the OBGYN, my gynecologist, and he said,
“I don’t know what happened.” But after doing the
ultrasound, this was not there, so they canceled my surgery.
I still get emotional about it, because it’s something we
don’t put two and two together. How much, when we come to
a point of need, the point of pain, it’s like some people
say you have to hit the bottom before you make choices.
It’s not always the bottom, but the pain has to be so excruciating,
where the pain has to be so bad, then you turn around and say,
“Okay, enough is enough, and I am ready to make that change. I want
something better for myself. I want something better for my life.”
If you have been in that situation, say, “Yes,” type, “Yes,” say, “I agree,”
whatever it is, give me an emoji, so that I know that I know I’m not the only one.
So, understanding that sometimes profound healing is so deep and quiet,
because if it was not, because of my acupuncturist sending me, or actually
giving me the piece of paper saying that through hypnosis, hypnotherapy
can help with ovarian cysts, I would have never gone to a hypnotherapist.
If I had not done those sessions and healed myself
on that Friday evening when the yellow pages
fell on the floor, nothing is an accident,
because I truly believe there are no accidents.
There is a cause and there is an effect. So, being in that
place, seeing that yellow pages fell as I went to change the TV
remote and change the channel, the page had opened on H, and
I looked and it was hypnotism training institute in Glendale.
And you might say, “What does this have to do with horses?” Bear with me,
stay with me, because I believe in a calling. I believe we all have a gift.
I believe you have a gift, you have a purpose. So,
calling, Friday night, quarter to seven, late at night, I’m
sad, I’m disheartened, I fell lonely, and I know I had
done the hypnosis and I was told I don’t need the surgery.
But when I called, Master Gil Boyne and picked up that phone, and he heard it
in my voice, and he asked me, “Why am I calling?” and I said I was curious.
So, I told him the story that I was an assistant attorney,
it was the law firm that sent me to the Acupuncturist,
the Acupuncturist, gave me that piece of paper, and then
I found my hypnotherapist and I went to her and he said,
“Tomorrow I’m having a class at the school, and this is right here in
my hometown. Come down, I want you to share this story with my class.”
Saturday, nine o’clock, I walk in and I signed up. I signed
up to become a hypnotherapist because my entire thing
was, if it can help me, I want to be the vessel, I want to
be the means so that I can help others, especially women.
And that’s how I became an expert in women’s wellness
and it doesn’t mean that I’m not helping men.
So, how does this all connect? Because I think
there is a higher calling just like my friend
that I was on her podcast yesterday, her calling
with animals, her calling with horses, and how
I propose it was that just this weekend I saw a movie
about Amberly Snyder that she was a rodeo dryer writer
and how she got into an accident and this is a
documentary, a true story that they made a movie about her.
And now she’s a spokesperson, just got married and
how through that accident after being number one in
the rodeo, American rodeo, and she got the championships
and everything that she had no power in her legs.
But because of her mindset, the mental aptitude, her
training, her knowing how to be strict with rules with the
training aspect of it and utilizing mental mindfulness,
hypnosis, guided visualization, that’s what so many of us use.
The same ways I can do hypnosis and do root canal with no anesthesia, hers was
all visualization and the connection of her body, the horse and herself amazing.
So she got back on the saddle, she couldn’t use her legs.
But the horse, her horse, her energy, finding her strength
in her core, she went on to win many more championships.
And now today she is the spokesperson.
So you see animals have this divine ability to
feel us, to sense us and it can be horses or dogs.
I know I’m a dog or a dog or a I’ve been around horses
and if you’re a dog or you know the connection of a dog.
And it’s amazing because dogs in particular carry
this pure unconditional love, unconditional.
They don’t need you to be perfect.
They just need you to be present, to love, to care, to feed them.
Yes, just like my dog, they have bitten me, but that’s when they get spooked.
If you see the connection of canines with their
handler, it’s profound or in the military.
The nudge, your hand, they just nudge your hand and
when you are side, they are right there next to you.
When you feel down, they know it, they sense it.
When there is a new baby in the house, they know it, they smell it.
And I’m sure you’ve seen those on Facebook, on
those stories and on the reels and everything.
It’s uncanny because they sit beside you in silence when no words need to be said.
They celebrate your joy without you even saying a word
or even explaining because they consents everything.
And horses, the joy of horses, they’re just majestic mirrors of emotion.
I believe horses are so connected.
I know dogs, the opposite of dog is God and I think horses are the same.
They’re not just strong, they’re so sensitive.
And standing near, horses can bring you back to your center, your core.
The connection of the rider with the horse is just reminding us,
reminding you, reminding me, reminding us to ground ourselves
because our feet can be grounded and yet our heart open.
So if you have had connection with horses and dogs to say yes, give me an emoji.
As like you have been around it, that you know what I’m talking about.
The same way as we connect internally with our core, with a baby.
I think dogs and horses have a whole different bond with us.
Because but dogs and horses have the sacred way of bringing us home to ourselves.
Because humans, we carry judgment.
Kids, when they, you know, they don’t like something, they just throw
something or when they are upset with you, they turn their back.
I know sometimes dogs do the same and yet they do not carry judgment.
That’s the difference.
They hold that.
It’s like if you haven’t paid attention or something, but it
is temporary because they don’t know how to hold the grudges.
No judgment, no grudges, they live in the present.
If you have left them alone when you come back, they show that
they are disheartened and it’s like doing all that, playing that.
You haven’t paid attention to me, but they are not holding the grudges.
Horses represent this power, intuition and freedom.
It’s like in the spiritual world, dogs symbolize loyalty, protection and heart.
And horses is the spirit connection.
So together, they show us what it means to love
and be loved without needing to fix anything.
So to hold space for us as we hold space for
them and to respect their power, to respect a
dog that can turn at us because they know
where we are energetically without us speaking.
So that’s why they take dogs to hospitals for
seniors to pet them, for children to play with them.
They are trained to be seeing eye dogs because they can sense,
they can protect and they can shield us faster than we can.
Because we are analyzing, judging, criticizing, factor, especially
with the blind, the seeing dogs, they do everything for us.
That’s why I say when we go into hypnosis, when we close
our eyes to go within, we see within, we connect within.
Because our seeing eyes can be deceiving.
That’s why if you have seen that that match game, there
was a game that they wanted to match people together.
And they had rooms that without seeing the other person, you had to speak to them.
It’s your voice, it’s the connection, it’s how you present yourself.
And the other person wants to connect with your spirituality, how you say things.
Because our eyes can be deceiving of what we want in a
person in their looks, who we are, is not in this body.
That’s why when I’ve got clients that come for weight loss, I say let us
peel away the layers that you placed upon yourself only to protect yourself.
Once we peel those away, that’s who you are.
So it starts with honoring you first, for you
to value you first before you judge the body.
And say I want to make it better, carve it, change
it, fix it in order for me to feel or look appealing.
It’s not always about the looks. And it goes both ways, men and women.
So animals, together they show us what it means to love
without needing to fix anything, without needing to explain.
And I hope that one day we will come to a point that we don’t need the
filters, although this media, everything on social media is about filters.
And as you see, not much of filter goes right here.
So today I invite you to slow down, to be more mindful, to be more present,
and spend a moment with yourself,
especially in front of the mirror and blink.
And say thank you. Thank you to the body that has
been housing you, shielding you, and protecting you.
Yes. Find the cause and the balance, the cause and the fact. And slow down.
If you do have a pet, take a moment with your pet just to connect hard to heart.
Just being present and saying thank you. Let your dog snuggle up beside you.
If you have been anywhere, or you can go anywhere near a
horse, either a zoo or stables, visit a horse if you can.
Let yourself receive their love, their power,
their grandeur, and their spiritual medicine.
Because healing isn’t always in a doctor’s office.
Spending time, 10 minutes, just even for that moment
that I had with the horse bolero, even the name bolero,
because it’s all about the Spanish being a bolero, having
that strength, the stamina, the training to be a bolero.
It takes a lot to be on a horse, a cowboy. I know it’s
not a beautiful thing, but the training that it gets.
And every training, military, police, canines, even the
seeing eye dogs, it all takes training, grace, and love.
Because healing is always found in a doctor’s office,
sometimes they’re curled up right there next to us.
Let us stand tall and be silent, and as always I
do have a quote. I want to read this quote for you.
The love of a dog and the presence of a horse can speak
at wounds we didn’t even know we still carry with him.
