If 2016 is better than 2015, well then hallelujah. If it is worse than 2015, then we are probably all going to be toast. So here is to a much better new year! And to everyone waking up and becoming an activist.

Waking Up

The signs are there that people are waking up to all the lies and deceptions that have been foisted on us, and that people are realizing the power we have that is yet untapped. Dog trainer, Victoria Stillwell, wrote an interesting article about a new approach to dog training. Here is the link to the article,  titled No Cue November

You really need to read it to believe it, but essentially her training group is saying, just talk to your dogs! When I first read it I was ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing). This is exactly the approach I advocate in my book, Ask Your Animal, and I recommend it because it works far better than barking commands.

 

Here is an excerpt from Stillwell’s article:

We began by throwing out all traditional cue/reward scenarios. The new protocol: all cues must be given in complete, open ended, sentences. For example: “Sit” was replaced with “Would you like to sit down?” “Let’s go” was replaced with “Would you like to walk to _________ with me?” “Tug” was replaced with “Would you like to tug on this?” Each of the new cues was followed by showing the dog a few times and encouraging mimicking. The brilliance of this concept is that if the dog fails to perform, it’s completely acceptable. If you asked a question, no is a completely acceptable answer. We also stopped worrying so much about rewards. Food, play, praise, and social interaction were all freely given without much thought of the traditional behaviorism reinforcement system. We just didn’t worry much about accidental reinforcement or reinforcing undesirable behaviors. You know what? It worked! Not only did it work, but we also discovered some pretty amazing things that happened.

Not only do I advocate this same approach: talking out loud to your animal – because your animal will understand – I also advocate giving verbal human-level praise as the reward instead of treats: Rupert that was brilliant! I knew you could do it! I am so impressed. Animals love that kind of thing, just as much as  we do. Who would have thought that Victoria Stillwell would be coming out with this!

There are a lot of signs of hope: people are realizing that geoengineering is real and asking about it rather than scoffing. Many more people are getting active to help save people, animals and the earth. There are so many energy healing groups for the planet you could not count them.  These are the kinds of things that give me hope for the future.

And remember anything is possible…

Manifesting for 2016

Here is a great daily visualization exercise to do. You can substitute whatever you want for the lover part…like we save the earth, for example.
