The Animals' iView with Lizanne Flynn

The body's nervous system is designed to tell you what's happening in its environment long before you - as captain of the organic body machine - know it's happening. These flickers of information both large and small are continual throughout your life. The only question is: how well are you listening? It's so easy for us humans to disregard these notifications out of ego or bec...

As beings in human experience we do struggle so with our attachment to the expiration of our physical forms on the planet. In our words - death. Animals understand all about the act of transition which is how they refer to it - transition. As energy leaves one form and goes back into another. What they are puzzled about is our memorials both to death and conflict among our species which they perce...

Initiations are a gateway of sorts. Between the old and the new, the once was and the is now and will be. They serve a deeper purpose of helping us to peel back our layers of experience in order to get to the kernel of who we really are on Earth. That being Ascended Masters along with all other life forms here and including Earth herself. One typically doesn't get a heads up on the initiation...

Your working from home hasn't just changed everything for you and your human family - it's also dramatically altered your relationship with your companion animal. Maybe on the surface it seems all is the same. From the Animals' perspective, there's likely quite a bit more energy with which to interact! At first they may have perceived it would be a party all the time - after al...

Beautiful Kali has gotten kind of a bad rap, I think. It's her very fierceness born out of protection that we as humans fail to embrace as an essential part of the Divine Feminine. We attempt to repress it, we attempt to control it and we perceive to fall victim to her (and thus the Earth's/Mother Nature's) whims. Yet it is this fire of celebrating death and rebirth in the same mome...

It's a platitude of another kind when humans advocate for conservation just so we can also say in the same breath that we're "saving" wild animals. To be clear, no animal in the wild would ever need saving if it weren't for the destruction of the planet by our species. Removing them from their natural habitat, forcing them to breed and training them by withholding food in...

From a shamanistic perspective, nothing is ever really "wrong" and "needing to be fixed." There can be imbalance, of course, and a need to realign back into the perpetual state of joy that most other beings on the planet know and live within. Our species is attempting realignment individually and collectively which is where ordinary and non-ordinary reality rests. The embrace o...

Animals don't wear watches and for beings who don't depend on time to dictate their lives, they are remarkably, usually "on time". For their lives and their purpose on the planet. Humans? Not so much. Our reliance on the illusion of time in this collective experience is just one of the revealing aspects of social distancing. We've entered a kind of "day of the week&qu...

The quote by Charles Dickens - "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" pretty much sums up where we're at right now, I think. And while the "best of times" part may feel elusive right now, it's hiding right there in the shadow aspect itself. Because that's how partners move with each other in energy - together, all of the time. Animals understand so...

The reference of non-violence isn't against others. After all, there are laws about that! This particular type of non-violence is against the Self especially during these days of "wherever you go, there you are" (the quote is attributed to many.) During periods of isolation from others as well as the removal of the distraction of overly busy lives, humans are being directed to meet...

At this point in time, there is zero evidence that Covid-19 can be transmitted to your animal companion. That being said, when out walking it's good to maintain the turkey-buzzard-wingspan length (yes, it's 6 feet) between them and other humans and their companion animals. Wash your hands frequently before and after physically touching your companion animal. And while perhaps at least in...

As the saying goes, "the only way out is through." The depth, scope and profound nature of a world-wide pandemic affecting humans exclusively (at this point) cannot be overstated. You are part of a collective awareness connected to a living planet. You have individual organic experience in which you make choices for your experience and the planet/others as well. Our species is being forc...

Taking good care of the physical body has never been more important. It's also just as important to "wash" the spirit inside the body as what affects one affects the other. It's clear that the current shadow aspect of a worldwide virus affecting only the human species is an initiation of sorts. And we're being invited to lean into - instead of away from - our collective sh...

Too often humans perceive the world of Animals in much the same way that we do our own: as a struggle for power. And that's missing the point entirely! It's only ever about balance for Animals even when it comes to living in groups together or what human philosophers would state is a "city/state" or "political". More often than not rather than a conqueror of a group t...

Everyone is a visitor here on planet Earth - including you! We're all here for the grand experiment/experience of gaining awareness on our soul paths. When the "ride" of this existence gets to be a bit much and you yearn for a true feeling of "home" look to the stars. For that is exactly where your soul/cosmic identity/divine essence was created. There you will find your s...

The work of a medium sometimes goes into territories that are challenging for all humans. Because the situations can involve violence and loss of life. Underlying our perception of these tragedies in human experience runs the path of the soul which - at least for me - is above my pay grade. As a medium, it's not about making sense of what's happened as it is more about holding space for...

The theft of 30,000 bees in Colorado this week is what got me going. I added in for good measure the projected blame by humans onto pangolins for somehow being responsible for the spread of coronavirus. All against the backdrop of how the human species can be so outrageously and egregiously cruel. To each other and without a doubt, to other Earthlings. While it's tempting to be distracted by...

Chief Joseph of the Nez Pearce said it best - "Every animal knows more than you do." The only ones we're really fooling is ourselves in believing that conservation of animals in the wild is best served by a zoo or aquarium. Our use of the euphemistic "putting them to sleep" in lieu of "compassionate euthanasia" only means that we're desperate to keep Shadow...

It's most definitely a magical/scary moment when Wolf locks eyes with you. Your soul is bared and they know in an instant who you are at the very depths of your being. Meeting one even when separated by a fence is no less humbling and energy-shifting. Our relationship with them is long and complex and currently some states have plans to reintroduce Wolf back into their natural habitat. Why? B...

In a nutshell, anthropomorphism is giving human characteristics or attributes to Animals. Which in the moment feels good to humans because it reflects the light part of us - the "good" part. The shadow of this is that we then fail to appreciate and understand the very different and separate specific-to-Animal-species qualities. Because we're then also reminded of our dual predator/p...

Chances are good that you think of yourself as a pet owner. Think again! You're actually in a relationship with a sentient being of a different species. And even if they do lick themselves in places you can't they're just as smart as you - probably more - when it comes to managing your relationship with them. Most humans have a really unique way of distancing ourselves from our role...

Separation and isolation between light and shadow on Earth simply isn't possible as much as humans try to make it so! Each is part of the other. Animals know this and as such, enjoy a more balanced perspective in their experience of what is occurring in Australia right now. Even the massive loss of Koala life on the planet when viewed through the eyes and heart of Koala leaves room for animal...

The intuitive energy of the physical body of all beings on Earth has had a checkered past where humans are concerned. Sometimes villain and sometimes he/shero. Or both at once! Intuition is a natural by-product of the body interacting on your behalf with the fields of energy that surround you all of the time on this planet. Animals, plants and crystals accept it and use it to their benefit - you c...

Perhaps feeling burdened by your intuition has led you to perceive that it's not a gift at all! And I would say that I've been there myself. Taking a few steps back from the "feeling" part of intuition will support you as you become braver in trusting the information. This is the way your physical vehicle in this planetary experience (the body) connects with energetic fields ar...

There will never be any better partner for you in your interpersonal work than your very own Animal Companion. Those limpid pools of deep brown or emerald green or brilliant yellow are with you for more than the unconditional love they offer. And what's more they'll offer a neutral, sometimes humorous take on the issue. That's not to say they won't do a deep dive. Trust me - th...
