In this post, I would like to share about my connection with animals. In this lifetime, I didn't feel any special connection with animals. Usually animals are kind to me and I am to them. I had a very casual connection growing up. I was fascinated by people who could talk to animals. I also met many people who had an incredible connection with animals. I loved the stories of saints where animals would come near them and show love and compassion.
After my spiritual awakening, I wanted to be this kind of person too that all the animals come to. I would see in my imagination all the animals paying attention to me, and it made me feel so special. I would also imagine people seeing the animals paying attention to me and thinking how special I was. Well, this kind of imagination went on for a long time but it didn't happen to me.
The first time I felt any deep connection to animals was through a wild cat who used to come visit me in India. This cat loved me so much and I knew this love was very special. This went on only for few months. My family had a dog as a pet at that time. This dog was very aggressive and killed this cat right in front of my eyes. I felt the deepest pain with this incident. It was very traumatizing for me. The next time I connected to any animal was years later through my current pet, a turtle. I have shared this story already in the previous post. I saw the Divine in the eyes of my turtle which connected me to all the animals in this world. I could feel the love of animals again in this lifetime. I could feel their special roles. I could feel that we are suppose to be kind to them and take care of them. This experience just opened me up to animals in a very beautiful way.
As I went on purifying myself on my soul journey, I saw many animals started to pay attention to me and come to me. I offered silent blessings and love. The urge to feel special with animals and feel special in front of the people remained until one day I was sitting in nature and I had an AHA moment.
I saw that nature is in harmony and supporting each other without the need to feel special. Right away I saw a 3rd eye image of all animals and nature co-existing together in harmony. I instantly knew that the part that wants to feel special is actually ego. I have to truly respect the animals and not want to do things for me to make me feel special. In fact the part that had need to feel special in me, needs my own love. Right away I knew the best action is to let the animals have their free will, and co-exist with animals with much love and harmony. This is how we can love each other unconditionally. I can offer my service to them without the need of wanting anything in return or any expectations. This experience brought such a peace to my soul and heart. I truly respect all animals now. I really don't want to disturb them but to be with them with love and light. I don't have the urge to feel special around animals anymore. I want to truly serve the animal kingdom unconditionally. Lately I got the opportunity serve few animals and I felt such a joy in my heart and soul.
I will like to offer a forgiveness practice to animals. please join me if it is appropriate for you to join me. Dear soul mind and body of all the animals since creation, I love you, honor you and appreciate you. I deeply apologize for all my mistakes and my ancestor's mistakes. Please forgive us if we didn't respect you enough and if we hurt or harmed you in any way. Please forgive us. I will serve and serve for your forgiveness. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Please chant with me...
Love you all animals
Love you all animals

In my third eye, I see all animals here with me. Receiving the love and light. Offering their forgiveness. Happy that they are acknowledged. Happy to serve us unconditionally. This is very beautiful. I am so grateful.
