A Dog Who Mirrors Anxiety and Skin Disorders

Q: I have a question. I have a little dog, and she’s afflicted with this severe
skin itching.

B: Yes.

Q: And so I tried medicated shampoos and flea shampoos and all that stuff, and
that even seemed to make it worse. So now I’m trying emollients and…

B: Is this animal interacting with another human besides yourself?

Q: No, just me.

B: Are you anxious to be on about something?

Q: Oh, yes.

B: Then relax, and your animal will not have to represent the rashness in your
life. It will not be itching; it will not be impatient. Understand that your
animals are reflections, and many times will take upon themselves the
manifestations of your anxieties so that you do not have to experience them
physically.

Q: Yes.

B: Relax. Live now. Be in the moment, and that is the way to accelerate all that
you desire into your life.

Q: I’m doing that, although I’m having…

B: All right. Speak with the animal and reflect the idea that you understand the
service that is being provided by that animal, and that you are now willing to take
responsibility, for you know you can manifest an understanding of the reasons
behind that message without having to manifest it in negative ways in your own
body. So the animal does not have to take it on for you, because you will take
responsibility and handle it. It is only there to remind you that you have energy
that you may be in a sense spilling over because of anxiety, anxiousness,
nervousness. And it will simply exemplify itself in that animal as an agitated
state.

The skin generally represents the idea that many of you consider your skin to be
the barrier between your inner and outer selves, the membrane of the external world
from the internal world. And therefore, many of the judgments that you create in
your lives, because you imagine that this is where the external world stops, and
this is where the internal world stops -- on the borderline you call your skin --
those judgments will turn the skin into a battle area, and cause there to be the
idea of inflictions and eruptions and chafing.

When you blend the external and the internal into one idea, then you will not know
where one begins and the other ends. You will not focus on that thin membrane that
you think you need as a filter, as a protectant, from the outside world -- or that
you fear to let something inside of you pass beyond to the outside world.

Q: Thank you.

B: Thank you. Sharing!
