Free Will - What Does It Mean And How It Effects My Animals And Me © Copyright by Suzi Dalling

All sentient http://http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sentient beings are created by God/Creator/Source/Spirit and instilled with free will. The simple definition of free will is that we are granted the opportunity each moment to choose what to do or think in any given moment and situation. A complete definition can be found at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will.

We humans use free will every day in conversation. As an example: I can ask you how old you are and you answer me that you are over 30, that is free will. Your real age could be 43, you are over 30, you are not lying, however do not choose to tell me your true age. I will accept what you tell me as the truth without question. I cannot force anyone to tell the complete truth and cannot be held accountable for any free will thought, belief or action taken by anyone other than myself.

The same is true with what the animals share in animal communication. I accept what they are saying as the truth they want you to know in that moment. You have the choice to believe them or not, that is your free will in this particular exchange. As an animal communicator, I know animals do not possess the ego/conscious mind that we humans do and that they are able to live moment by moment. They are not interested in what time it is, what street they are on, or what day of the week it is. They are here to teach humans to live in the moment, to let go of all of the restrictions that come with living within time frames and deadlines.

I invite you to watch your animal friends, if they are tired, they sleep, if they are hungry, they eat or ask to be fed, if they want to play, they play, nothing is predetermined or preplanned, it is all about what feels good to them right then in that moment. When I talk with animals they will only share what they want their person to know in that moment. They are not lying, but sometimes their person needs to go outside their normal way of thinking and being to discover something that needs to be done or changed and their animal may have taken on the role of teacher to help guide them to the answer.

As an experiment I invite you to make a list of all the things you have time limits with, whether it's personal, family or work related. Now I invite you to remove as many time limits from your life as possible and monitor your feelings and stress level. Do you feel lighter and more alive? Are you experiencing the freedom you long for?

This exercise will help to bring more joy into your life by taking an inventory of where you put time limits on yourself and how that causes the resentment feelings of "I HAVE TO" or the guilt feelings of "I NEED TO".

The next time you have one of those feelings, stop yourself from the thinking and ask, what is it I really want to be doing? I invite you to consider taking the action that allows you that freedom which will bring a smile to your face and the feelings of joy. This freedom is what the animals feel all the time and have repeatedly tried to show us how we can do the same.
