I have been reflecting back on a time a few years ago when I was a therapist on contract with child Protective Services. I would meet with people and council them in their homes, usually as an unwelcome guest. On my first visit with one family, their dog, an enormous mix of Great Dane and boxer, jumped on my lap and gently rubbed his cheek on mine. It was a loving greeting and a clear response to my own energy field, since he did not know me. I have found dogs to be sensitive to those unseen energies, which I try to sense as well. Sensing those unseen energies is now part of “listening” for me.
