- Hey guys!
Danielle MacKinnon, Animal Psychic, here,
to talk today about who greets my pet in heaven.
It's like a heart-breaking thing to think about.
In 2014, my two dogs crossed over within three months,
to the day, of each other.
And Bella crossed in March, and Kelso crossed in July.
And it was really, really hard.
Even though I knew so much about animals,
it was very hard to handle.
What I had on my side, was that I've been working
with animals that are crossing over,
about to cross over, and that have crossed over,
for almost 20 years, and so, I knew what the Other Side
was like according to them.
And I knew that the animals, they didn't want,
it's like they don't want us to grieve.
They know we're going to grieve,
but they also, they want to be with us.
They want to help us as we go through this process.
And so, knowing this, I feel did help me
deal with their passing better.
But I think the thing that people are most concerned about,
and I didn't have to be concerned about,
was really this question of who is there.
What happened?
What is this actual crossing over process,
and who's going to greet them?
So, what I thought I would do,
is ask you guys first, I'm looking through
all these, the comments that are already showing up.
I thought that I would ask you to tell me,
'cause I want to know, tell me what you think happens,
who is there, when your animal crosses over.
Who's there?
So, give me your feelings and thoughts on that.
That would be awesome.
And while I'm doing that, let me say,
if you know somebody who is grieving,
or who is doing that pre-grieving thing,
you know, the thing where you're worried
about your animal crossing over, what's gonna happen.
It may not even be about to happen
until like years from now, but you're already in that worry.
If you know someone who's doing that thing,
this might be able to help them.
Okay, so Laura says, I think my folks are there
to greet my pets.
Cool.
Robin says, I believe my mom greeted my Fritz.
Cool.
Nancy says, I think my mom greeted my dogs.
Cool!
And Francois, Francois, this is a not an American name,
I love it, I think our loved ones' already there
to greet them.
And Sue says, my pet bunny has just passed
and I'm devastated.
Sue, I'm so sorry to hear about your pet bunny.
Hopefully, what we're talking about here, today, can help.
Karen says, I sent me girl Shadow to my brother Bobby.
Told him I'd punch him in the face
if he didn't take good care of her.
(laughs)
Okay!
Kinda loving, Karen!
(laughs)
It's interesting, because everybody has their thoughts
and their feelings about who's going to be there.
I developed my beliefs based on what the animals told me.
Before I started doing this work as an animal communicator,
when I was just a super sensitive person
who didn't know what to do with myself (laughs), right?
I just assumed that when people crossed over,
or animals crossed over, the ones who were special
to that human or that animal, would be there.
And in my head, I always viewed it
as this opening white tunnel.
And you'd see my grandma, my dog from when I was a kid,
kind of at the end of the tunnel.
Remember a Looney Toons, Bugs Bunny?
And at the end, this swirly thing would go roop, like this.
And you'd see someone in there going like this.
Literally, that's what I thought it was like.
And that there could only be certain people there
they would be only the people or the animals
that were most important to the one crossing over.
Oh, Francois says, LOL, I'm French Canadian.
(laughs)
Awesome!
So, that's what I used to think.
And then I got to talking, obviously, psychically,
with the animals.
And a lot of animal communicators,
and a lot of the work that I've done
as an animal communicator, is around the idea
of this time of passing.
The animal's about to cross over.
What does this animal want?
The animal can tell me and I can tell their human.
Or the animal just crossed over, or crossed over
a while ago, and the person is looking
for some type of closure, or love, or message, or sign.
But because of that, I've had the opportunity to hear a ton
from the animals about this whole situation.
And this how I'm gonna explain it.
And, oop, Jill says, I wish I knew who was there
to greet my dog Maxwell.
I'm gonna tell you.
I'm gonna tell you right now.
From what I know, now obviously I'm not there.
I have not died.
(laughs)
In past lives I've died.
But in this life, I have no memory.
So, I can only go by what the animals have told me.
But, this is how they've explained it.
That when we incarnate into our bodies,
we, meaning humans, or we, meaning animals,
our souls, only part of us is here.
So, my soul, my me, my body, this is all here.
But part of my soul remains over there,
over there on the other side.
In heaven, in spirit world, whatever you want to call it.
And I'm attached.
I'm connected to it.
But not every aspect of me is here.
And it's the same for the animals.
It's actually a really cool thing when you think about it.
Terry says hi.
Hi Terry!
It's actually a really cool thing when you think about it
because it means that there's part of us,
no matter what we do, no matter what bad decision we make,
no matter any of it, that is still connected.
You can never lose that connection.
There are definitely people who will try.
You can do drugs.
There's all sorts of ways.
We can make terrible decisions on purpose.
You can be angry.
But, because only an aspect of us is here,
and the rest of us is over there,
you can never lose that connection.
So, what that means, is, it's the same thing for animals.
And what that means, is when we cross over then,
no, I actually, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna,
I need to preface it with this.
When we come into body, we come into body
based on the grouping that we are reincarnating with.
And this our soul family.
So, in my soul family, there's obviously my mom,
my dad, my brother, my husband, also my dog,
my other dog, all of these.
They're everybody that's ever been important to me
in this lifetime, or a different lifetime.
We're all together.
And our animals are part of that soul family.
So, it's like this little grouping.
And we reincarnate into different lifes.
And the soul family comes with us.
So, when we incarnate into this life,
certain members of our soul family incarnate as well,
to work with us, help with us, help us grow and evolve.
The animals are part of that.
Why am I telling you this?
I'm telling you this because that means
that when we actually cross over,
so when my dog Bella crossed over,
not only was my dog Dashel, and my grandma,
and all the others who had crossed over there to greet her,
but also, I was there to greet her.
And I hadn't obviously crossed over yet.
My dog Kelso, who didn't cross over for three more months,
he was there to greet her.
Everyone in the soul family is there to greet.
It's not like you have to be fully over there,
no physical body here, in order to be present,
and aware, and connected.
We are the least connected when we're here.
I live my life being intuitive, and open, and sensitive,
which makes me more connected than the people who are not.
But, it's still, I'm not as connected as I would be
if I were on the Other Side.
While that makes me feel better knowing I was there
when my babies passed, it's really cool isn't it?
Was I aware that I was there for when Bella passed,
and Kelso passed?
No, I wasn't aware.
Because when I'm here, I am consciously not so connected.
But the higher aspects of me remain connected.
You always hear people say it's,
like I've met a few very depressed people
that just want to go home.
And they're talking about the Other Side being home.
But the way the animals describe it,
it's all home, it's all this one, whole, big place,
that we are together.
There's not so much of this separation
between the Other Side, which sounds very separated,
and here.
It's been a learning experience for me
to kinda get this, because there's that part of me
that wants to separate the Other Side.
Like it isn't even good to call it the Other Side, right?
(laughs)
Because it's not really the Other Side.
It's just we have a different connection going on
to this space.
And that's what the animals want us to understand.
Laura says, if we are over there too,
in a higher self, do the animals who pass
still want to come back to visit our bodies,
our bodies here?
So, animals have a different type of connection
with their physical body, with what we call the Other Side,
then we do.
They have a different type of connection to the energy.
An animal, now remember animals
have mastered unconditional love.
They have mastered it.
This is what they've told me again and again.
Yes, I'm getting it from them.
But it's very clear that we, humans,
have not mastered unconditional love.
Right?
We obviously, or there wouldn't be all this war,
and jealousy, and feeling bad about ourselves.
So, animals have mastered unconditional, uh-oh.
Did you guys hear that?
I got a dog growling.
(laughs)
But she has mastered unconditional love!
I swear!
(laughs)
So, since animals have mastered unconditional love,
and they have this connection to all,
they're here to help us master that as well.
I've not had an animal, on the Other Side,
ever say to me, I need to get back into a body.
I need to do that.
There's not this longing, that we, as humans so often have,
for to be in a body, or not be in a body.
We spend a lot of time romanticizing this.
But animals do not.
They know that they, they, their whole aspect of them,
is everywhere, at all times, and they live
through that place.
Okay.
That was super fun, guys.
And give your pet a big hug for me.
Remember that they are present with you in all ways.
Alright, bye guys.
