Animals as Soul Healers

Animals don’t just see the surface of our lives.
They sense the emotions beneath—the grief, the fear, the stress we often don’t speak aloud. They mirror our hidden wounds, hold space for us, and gently guide us back toward balance.

When illness enters a home, animals often step closer. They become protectors, companions, and healers. This is not simply instinct—it is their soul-level way of walking beside us on our journey of recovery.

Right now, I witness this magic in my own home. My cat Mimi has become my son’s guardian during his healing. She doesn’t leave his side. She eats more, rests where he rests, and pours her quiet warmth into his body and spirit. They were never this close before—but through his illness, their bond has deepened into a wellspring of trust, comfort, and love.

Our animals remind us: healing is never solitary. It is a shared journey of souls, woven with unconditional love.

Whispers of the Parrots

The Sacred Valley is changing its rhythm.

The parrots have returned, their vibrant voices filling the trees, heralds of the coming rains.

Each note they sing is more than a call to their mate – it is a hymn to life itself.

When I listen closely, I hear an invitation…

- To soften into love.

- To trust the abundance that is always around us.

- To remember the natural flow, where nothing is rushed, and everything arrives in its time.

The parrots teach us that love is not only between two beings.

It is the river that nourishes, the rains that awaken the soil,

the unseen bond that connects every living heart.

But to enter this space of openness and flow, we must also dare to look within.

To embrace our fears, our doubts, our control mechanisms, our limitations, and the patterns that keep us small.

Sometimes we don’t even know why things are not flowing in our lives.

This is where I come in.

As a channel and intuitive guide, I connect with your spirit guides – who share with clarity and love what you need to know here and now.

They offer hands-on tools and gentle guidance that can be integrated into your everyday life.

Their messages arrive wrapped in unconditional love, always leading you back to yourself, to more fulfillment, and to a deeper alignment with life’s flow.

This is a time of returning – to life, to trust, to the gentle embrace of the present.

A time to open the heart wide enough to feel the song of the world moving through you.

I walk with these teachings, listening to the voices of animals and the whispers of spirit,

and I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey as a human & animal intuitive, soul level animal communicator and psychic medium

back to love,

back to flow,

back to your truest self.

Soul lessons: Read Onyx's story — a journey of healing, transformation, and connection.

Onyx came into our lives as a rescued puppy. As an animal communicator, I know that every animal comes into our life with a purpose — to guide us, and help us evolve. But life with Onyx wasn’t easy. His boundless energy, his inability to respect boundaries, his fierce protectiveness — it was overwhelming.

It took me two years before I could truly see what Onyx had come to teach me.

I began receiving visions of him attacking someone. He wasn’t aggressive — he was overprotective. He was mirroring something much deeper: my own fears, my son’s fears. Our fear of self-expression. Our struggle to set clear boundaries. Our hesitation to fully stand in our power.

As I understood these soul-level messages, one message kept coming through loud and clear:
"Ask for help."
So I did. I reached out to Sacred Dogs — and that’s when everything started to shift. With Christian`s guidance in dog training, and my own intuitive insights, we began working with Onyx and my son.

I also realized in Onyx the tension between strength and sensitivity, which was also in my son. Together, we began the work of learning to express more clearly, to walk with confidence, and to honor both softness and strength.
This wasn’t just dog training.
It is a soul journey — for all three of us.

And as we changed, so did the energy of every other animal in our home. Because our animals feel us. They respond to our shifts.

Now, Onyx is home. Thank you, "Sacred Dogs"!!
We are learning to live from a new space - of joy, clarity, and alignment.
We are integrating the lessons. It is a powerful journey.

Every animal in your life is here for a reason.
They are here to help you become the fullest version of you.
Are you ready to listen?
To receive the wisdom your pet is offering?
To grow, heal, and evolve — together?

Reach out — I’m here to guide you.

Wild creative moments

Whenever inspiration moves through me, I create — and when I create, I connect and remember.
I become one with creation.
Dreamcatchers are one of my soul languages.
Each thread, a prayer. Each weave, a whisper of the wild.

This piece was born in Costa Rica, a sacred dance with the jungle of Playa Chiquita, woven with gifts from the earth and energies of expansion, creation, and deep abundance.

It began with a symbol — infinity.
There are spaces within us that no key can unlock. Only the soul knows the way.
Being an infinite being is one of them... A sacred home where the heart remembers who it is.

And this time… it led me to her.

She emerged slowly, to the rhythms of howler monkeys, the love songs of aras and toucans calling across the canopy —
A woman.
Wild. Untamed. Instinctual. Free. Sensual. Deeply connected.

She is a remembering.
A home.
A heartbeat.
And I love her.

Last night, I had my first true, hands-on encounter with a snake.

Not as part of a tour, but in the way it simply happens when you live in the jungle.

While cooking, I nearly stepped on her — just 30 cm away, half curled up the kitchen floor.

Here, houses are open to the ground and the ceiling so animals can move in and out freely.

My heart skipped a beat.

I know nothing about snakes — not which ones are dangerous, not how to react.

Yaku ran to call the neighbour: “A boa!” he shouted,

and I laughed, because we’d just been talking about boas in the past days.

(And because we had encountered one in nature the other days, which is so rare)

I watched her in awe and fear as she glided silently through the kitchen

and curled up on an open cupboard floor.

I prayed we could set her free without harm.

The neighbours confirmed it — a young boa!

She had eaten, and now she was simply looking for a dry, safe place to rest and digest.

She looked innocent, almost shy,

and certainly not happy to be disturbed.

With a gentle sweep of the broom,

she slid fearfully yet gracefully out into the night.

Once my heart slowed down,

I felt nothing but gratitude.

What we don’t know, we fear, destroy, or condemn.

Last night, I let go of one stone of fear toward snakes

and made space for love.

May she be resting peacefully somewhere in the jungle now.

We Take Responsibility – My Personal Message for you from the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peru

Dear companion on the path, dear friend,

Perhaps we have met before: in a conversation, in a session, or along some part of a shared journey.
Whatever it was that brought us together, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here again today and for taking the time to read these lines.

Today I want to share something with you that only few people know about me.
Something that touches my heart deeply – and that has meaningfully shaped my work over the past years.
An area to which I devote myself with full dedication – alongside my therapeutic and spiritual work as an intuitive channel for humans and animals.

And I want to speak to you about it today – because I feel that, in some way, we are all part of this story.

A Call from the Heart of the Andes

Fifteen years ago, I followed my heart´s calling to the Andes of South America. I was searching for something I couldn’t put into words – connection, depth, truth.

Today, I have been living for eight years in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, near Cuzco. From the very beginning, I felt held – by this land, by its people, by their deep connection to the Earth, to nature, and to the ancestors.

The Reconnection with My Nordic Roots

For a long time, I carried an emptiness within me – born from the disconnection with my own roots: a rejection of my homeland Germany and a deep sense of not knowing who I truly was. I tried to fill that void through knowledge of the Andes and the practice of its culture.

However, significant events in my life caused that emptiness to resurface, accompanied by great pain.

That’s when I made a decision: to heal!

And so began my own inner journey of healing.
I searched for answers outside of myself – and found the path back to my own self.
My healing journey led me back to my own biographical story, to my ancestors, to my people.
It became my task to understand, embrace, and ultimately heal the traumas, wounds, inherited patterns, and repressed parts of my past – and that of my ancestors.

The deeper my healing went, the more clearly I recognized that in our Nordic worldview, too, there exists a deep and still-living wisdom –
a wisdom about connection with the Great Mother, the Great Father, and the forces of nature: the forests, the animals, the lakes …
A wisdom that calls to be remembered and reawakened.

Acknowledging Responsibility: The Wounds of Colonization

With this reconnection also came a painful awakening: the realization that we – as peoples of the North – hold responsibility for the colonization of so many parts of this world – and for me, especially here in the Andes.
I became aware of something so often forgotten: that the people of the Andes still suffer from the consequences of colonization – poverty, loss of identity and self-worth, and a mentality shaped by violence, consumerism, and corruption.

Their lands were exploited, their cultural identity brutally suppressed over generations – and with it, the people’s trust in themselves.

To this day, a large part of the Western world continues to benefit from the material or cultural resources of those countries from which so much was once taken.

The Call to the Fires of Reparation

Six years ago, as part of my personal healing process, I was invited to participate in the Fires of Reparation in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
These were sacred ceremonies dedicated to the remembrance and spiritual healing of colonial crimes, their lingering effects in the present, and also the aftermath of the hacienda system.

I felt the call to take part – and to do so with increasing commitment and presence.

Four times a year, we gathered – usually between three and seven people – around a sacred Fire. In each ceremony, we worked with the consequences of colonization on material, emotional, cultural, psychological, and socio-political levels.
Through research, energetic connection, and channeling, we entered into deep contact with the ancestors of this land and with the memory held in the Waq’as – the sacred and powerful sites of this territory.

We gave these memories a new place, honored the blood that was shed, and worked to restore their dignity.

I was asked to represent my Nordic ancestors – despite my own fears, and the fears carried by my lineage.
I asked for forgiveness, gave voice to what had long been silenced, and channeled what could not be spoken before.

It was not an easy path – but it was a sacred one.
And I felt, deeply: “I am here to take responsibility – for what was, and for what still is.”

Founding the NGO for Reparation: "Julia Tupaq Yupanqui"

In October 2023, we received a message from the ancestors:
“We are better now. You can take the next step.”
It was time to take concrete action to heal the effects of this harm on the people living today.

That is why we decided to found a non-profit organization for reparation:
JULIA TUPAQ YUPANQUI.

The name of this organization honors the grandmother of the Fire Keeper, Roxana – whose ancestral Inka surname and origins in the Wanka people of Peru carry the responsibility of healing the land. This people – among others – allied with the colonizers during the time of conquest, a decision that left deep marks on these territories, still felt to this day.

The name Julia Tupaq Yupanqui symbolizes both the ancestral lineage and the wound – as well as the healing – of our Andean-Amazonian region.

Today, we are three founding members of the organization:

·        Roxana Avendaño Suazo, from the Wanka people (Peru), therapist, doula, and facilitator of women’s processes;

·        Oscar Oviedo Hinojosa, from the Lima people (Peru), integrative physician and facilitator of holistic well-being;

·        and myself, Katja Wostradowski, originally from Germany, intuitive channel and medium for humans and animals, teacher and mentor for German volunteers in Peru.

Our Task: Healing the Wounds

Today I know:
We can heal these wounds.
Not through guilt, pity, or shame –
but through truth, responsibility, courage, and heart.

If we, as northern nations, begin to look at our own history and the history of the Andes, acknowledge their consequences, and act consciously, we can transform something essential.
For ourselves – and for the world.

As I said before, this is not about guilt.
There is no simple explanation.

But as an organization, we recognize that the marginalization and denial of Peruvian culture, along with forced syncretism, are still factors that sustain this situation today.

We want to bring awareness to this entire process –
to heal these wounds,
to support the recovery of Andean identity,
and to create conditions that improve the well-being of today’s population.

This must be based on cultural resources, with the clear understanding that it is not about returning to the past,
but about empowering the Andean-Amazonian legacy so that it can give rise to new, contemporary forms that offer real opportunities for a fulfilling life.

This is where I leave you with my testimony.

With heartfelt connection,
Katja Wostradowski (Intuitive Katja)

P.S.
What you have just read may be new or unfamiliar to you – or perhaps it touches something you've long felt.
Either way, I thank you for taking the time.
Our story is a shared one – and every conscious decision contributes to healing.

Let me push you

Although I communicate with animals professionally as a channel and intuitive, I sometimes wonder if I am not imagining certain messages - especially when they are directed at me.

Recently, I helped a woman find her cat that had been missing for almost three months.

Shortly afterwards, I received a clear “push message” from a friend's cat: now you need to get out of your comfort zone more and show your work. The animals and people need your help. Every time I came to Luciana now, her cat Moma was a bit grumpy in her behavior towards me and seemed to ask me every time: “Are you finally active again?”

Four weeks have passed. I'm currently working on updating my website, creating a flyer and preparing to get active on social media again.

And today, with my friend Luciana, something surprising happened: Moma, who was usually so pushy and affectionate, showed no interest in me at all. She completely ignored me.

The message was clear: she had successfully conveyed her message to me. Her task with me was now complete. She pushed me exactly where I needed to go to finally get back into action.

All animals, especially our pets of course, are constantly communicating with us and want to help us grow, to heal in their unconditional love.

What message could your pet have for you? In einer kanalisierten Tierkommunikation helfe ich dir gerne dabei, sie zu entschlüsseln. 💫

Calling for rain

photo: Lucila Vairo

The last few days I felt a rising in tense energy within me and today was the moment to make space for connecting to myself, to check what was going on with me. I admit, that have been very busy the last few weeks with the creation of new projects, taking responsability for a new job, completing tasks - so a lot of mind-orientated work.

I lit a candle, sat down and started breathing, listening. Then I felt the urge to connect to my body. I started dancing, moving all the emotions, that wanted to arise. Tears started rolling down my face. No necessity to find out where they came from. I just cried danced and allowed ed my heart and my soul to express themselves.

Suddenly I saw the current images of the missing rain, the burning fields and forests in so many places here in South America, I heard the frogs in my backyard as well as the parrots calling for rain - like they do every day these days. We so much need the rain.

I cried and danced, calling in my heart for the soothing rain. I am one with Mother Earth, we are the children of Mother Earth. Burning heat and no rain - a reflection of inner and outer world: inner and outer rage, hate, war, unjusticeness, so much fear that makes it difficult to connect to our emotions, to our necessity to stop and listen, to feel whatever needs to be felt.

I cry, I dance, I pray for rain - inside and outside of ourselves.

May it be so.

I don´t like my cat

I should not feel this way as an animal lover and soul level animal communicator, but I felt a really unpleasant connection with my cat. We had found her in the street only a week before we left for our new journey to Germany for three months. It was an amazing but exhausting trip and challenges awaited as soon as we got back to Peru.

My desperate necessity for rest brought a tremendous rejection to the new cat. She was persistent in asking for attention, getting on my nerves with a miau that sounds like a crow, she kept fighting with my other cat and fought for food like a huge cat. Guess what, her name is Panther. Her energy was just too penetrating – it was the last think that I needed after my return Germany. I was hungry for peace and quietness.

But guess what, animals are beings of unconditional love and come into our life in order to teach us to become better humans. Any (mis-)behavior, pattern or illness has profound messages for us and it is up to the human to understand the message – or to ask for help through animal communication. In her way of being she tried her best to tell me, what I need.

So all my cat Panther did, was show me, how desperately I needed to look after myself, take time for myself, rest and settle in back at home in the Sacred Valley. She needed to use her big cat Panther energy so I would really take my rest seriously.

When I was finally able to embrace her messages, her energy also changed. She calmed down and we found a more loving, harmonious connection. Animals are such great masters and teachers.

Are you trying to understand your animal better? What buttons does your beloved pet press to get your emotions going? I look forward to reading you.

Miracles happen

Do you believe in miracles?

A little while back a woman contacted me over the phone, who had been desperately searching for her lost dog for the last 5 months. She didn´t want to give up and reached out for an intuitive animal communication reading. When I connected with her dog, he told straight me away that he was well and alive. It brought a huge relief.

The lady comes from Peru

We then went one step deeper – to the soul level. I asked him why the animal had come to the owner´s life and why he had decided to disappear.

Here I must share with you an important information: all animals are beings of unconditional love. They come into the human´s life with the purpose to help their human to grow and to evolve.

So, my client´s dog also wants only the best for his owner. That´s why he needed to run away from home to show that the life situation my client lived had become unbearable. Previous messages that her beloved pet had sent, had not been enough.

It was hopeful news, that he was prepared to come back, but only if his mum made important changes in her life, which were so necessary for her personal wellbeing and happiness. So, by running away, all he wanted, was to take care of her! During the reading my client also received useful, hands-on tools from her pet so she could work on her tasks.

… A couple of months went by after this reading and yesterday I received the miraculous message. She had found her dog! She took the advices seriously, made the necessary changes in her life – and found her beloved pet again, who are happily reunited again.  

It always astounds me, how animals work with us in such a powerful way.

Healing creativity

As a child I was very creative, but over time I stopped everything and became a very mental person. It has taken me many years to heal my feminine side, to reawaken the joy, passion and love in art & creation - without seeking comparison or recognition or living in self-judgment. Today my hands, my heart and my soul long for creation.

Knitting has become my newest passion. The origin lies in the last two months at Lake Titicaca, when I saw beautiful naturally dyed alpaca wool everywhere and many women knitting. In a world where we can buy everything (cheaply), it sometimes takes an effort to create something ourselves.

My mum knitted, her mum and certainly many women before them. Today, in the early hours of the morning, I am sitting on the sofa in my grandmother's bathrobe, feeling at peace and incredibly connected to them. As an animal communicator, I am once again amazed at how positively my cats react in their feminine energy to my newly knitted creations . They can never be close enough when I'm painting, sewing, crafting with clay etc. In this way I get their confirmation of how good it is for me (and therefore everyone around me) when I'm creative.

And I also find this confirmation in my clients. It often happens to me that they are "recommended" by their pets to (re)connect to what they enjoyed as a child or young person.

On a soul level, our beloved four-legged friends want to accompany us and help us when something in OUR LIFE is not flowing, can be healed or transformed. How do I get this information? For example, the animal suddenly shows me an image in my mind's eye of how my client is painting or writing with watercolors. I get sensations of joy, peace and happiness and ask my client if she paints or writes. I often hear. "I used to do that when I was little, but I don't do it anymore." Through this shared memory, the animal wants to point out something, teach something and maybe ask to start again.

Creativity supports tremendously in understanding an old wound or trauma, connecting with it in ways other than mental, and helping in healing. It is about art as an accompanying process and not about a completed work of art.

Was there something you loved doing as a child but don't do it anymore? Why not)? Would you like your pet or guides to help you find yourself again? As a channel and medium, I convey intuitively channeled messages to you and help you to better understand yourself, your life and your pet.

Release anxiety and tension now

How I release tension and anxiety in these times of unrest and uncertain future.

Something about me

Today I feel the desire to share a bit about my life journey, that made me who I am today.

The love for animals and nature, a high sensitivity, insatiable curiosity and the desire to make the world a happier and more peaceful place shaped my childhood in the socialist world of the GDR.

Foreign languages were another passion. I felt that they would open me the doors to the world. I went to London as German teacher and made my career at the Goethe-Institut. But I was dissatisfied and kept feeling this profound calling to South America, which I had felt since my youth.

A solo backpacking trip to Costa Rica in 2008 became a jumping bridge to freedom and a farewell to London, my relationship, security and prosperity. In the jungle, thanks to courage, curiosity and a thirst for adventure, I discovered a completely new, unique contact with wild nature and also with my inner wild, free side.

What was I looking for? – I didn't know it, but I felt an insatiable longing for depth, freedom and true life. After a few months of traveling, I crossed the border into Bolivia with a high fever. In dilirium I saw from the bus the "mamitas" (native country women) with their long braids and colorful dresses sitting on the side of the road. An unspeakable feeling came over me: I had arrived!!! Their way of life, the powerful connection to Mother Earth, the ancestral rituals, the ritual chewing of the coca leaves—everything felt familiar. Should I be (or have been) part of this culture?

I thought and felt it for a long time, but the path to self-discovery still held many other lessons. Since I'm not someone who generally learns things from books, openness, curiosity and (often adventurous) trying things out have largely determined my life. Over time I started hearing voices, leaving my body, seeing things not visible to the human eye. I first found help in courses such as Reiki, pendulum and above all soul level animal communication, which gave my intuition and recognized gift as a medium a goal and an outlet.

Despite this, my life was also shaped for a long time by programs such as negation, reactivity, naivety and excessive alcohol consumption (escape). One opens only as far as the ego allows in its pain and with its lived past and that of its ancestors.

With the birth of my son in 2018, my life should change even more. Everything happens for a reason. This little being tore up everything in me that had not been brought into light, understood and healed until then - and this was still an incredible amount. The Scorpio in me now embarked on a returnless journey into the darkness to finally connect with the truth of its being.

Thanks to the patient and at the same time persistent accompaniment of my therapist, I went into the abysses of my own past and that of my Nordic ancestors, learned to understand the many traumas, programs and soul contracts that have been separating us since a very long time from our true self and the connection to everything that surrounds us. Sheding layers and layers of skin, I starting finding more clarity, light, connection and intuition in the darkness and loneliness of my own past. I realized that I was started evolving more and more into a channel of consciousness and the voices that want to be heard.

Many wonderful people, animals and other beings have (un)consciously guided me on this path up until now. However, I acknowledge that I have become a different person. I am a woman and mother with alive Nordic roots who honors her femininity and lives it with all her energies. In my healing, I want to redeem my ancestors - to the extent that I can - while at the same time create a more healed and coscious path for my son and the descendants who will come after him.

It is my desire, thanks to my personal experiences, processes, connections and knowledge, to encourage and help others to also embark on a search within to reconnect with themselves, their ancestors and what surrounds us.

Are the illnesses of our beloved animals a mirror of our soul?

As part of my own healing process in recent years, many wonderful four-legged friends have accompanied me, many of them came into my life for a short time, some for a longer or long period.

Thanks to holistic biodecoding, I have learned that all illnesses are manifestations of our soul and therefore of our emotions, which make themselves aware in our body so that we (and therefore our body) can heal and repair. Sometimes I have to laugh (although it's not funny at all) when I get sick again and then realize that the symptom of the illness which is appearing at that moment is a mirror of what I am currently ready to process on a soul level.

What does this have to do with my animals? I had to realize that they, too, show me through their illnesses aspects of myself that I have not yet worked through (with all facets) or resolved.

Only recently it was my wonderful dog Killa, on whom I discovered a tumor on the liver. At first I was shocked and full of despair, then I connected to both of us and she showed me that I am still not at peace within a certain area of ​​life.

Since that time I have been working personally on this topic again and meanwhile accompanied Killa with homeopathic medicines. As an intuitive channel and animal communicator, I know that resolution of the issue is not only sufficient on a spiritual level, but that medical attention is often also necessary. Luckily I have an amazing holistic doctor.

The consequence? – My personal progress is also reflecting in the healing process of my beloved dog. Of course I know that things don't always go so well, I've experienced that myself whilst living with some my animals. But for me, this knowledge is a great help to accompany and understand them better - and to take responsibility for my animals and myself at the same time.

Killa is just one example of many animals that have shown me in this way what I need to work on. Healing is a lifelong process. Many say – and I used to say to myself too: When will this whole process be over? At some point there must finally be peace and quietness? You're a therapist!…” But stepping into humility I realized that healing is a lifelong process.

A few years ago, I decided to authentically and consistently understand, embrace and heal my past. So I must take responsibility for that decision.

It is an illusion that at some point it will be "over" and we can then live in peace and happiness. I am annoyed by the many articles and reports that want to tell us that a new era is beginning and that everything is getting better now, that we are stepping into the light, 5th dimension etc.. But still have to do our BIG part and embrace this work for as long as it is necessary. It is urgent to admit that we - as our ancestors who live within us and are a part of ourselves, our thoughts, actions and (re-)actions - moved away from their inner light a long long time ago and it is our choice and opportunity to the mess clean up. First and foremost within ourselves!

The more we allow and accept our emotions such as fear, anger, despair, powerlessness, emptiness, etc. with humbleness, gratitude, patience and openness, the more potential there is to find ourselves and to get closer to the inner peace we long for. The more we become aware of who we really are and what we carry within us, the better we learn to ride the potential waves of growth and can become better human beings. And in this way we can live together with more integrity, harmony and respect amongst human beings and with everything that surrounds us.

We are all connected, this is not just a millennia-old wisdom of the sages and shamans, but a scientifically proven fact. Thus, the outside world is a mirror of our inner world. And there we see how much work is to do. The new times give us the opportunity to use this mirror to get to know our own darkness, to understand ourselves better and to EMBRACE everything within, because only in acceptance healing is possible.

I thank all my animal companions for their loyalty, their wisdom and for showing me again and again in their unconditional love who we are and who we are. They give us the chance to grow and develop every day.

Would you like to understand yourself and your animal better and/or would you like to bring more clarity, light and harmony into your life? Then write me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Creating union

"Believe me, I have found it, you will find more in the woods than in the books; Trees and stones will teach you what no master teaches you. (Bernard of Clairvaux)

When people saw themselves as part of Mother Nature and knew that everything around them had a soul, they respected and honored her in a very different way than they do today. Offerings were an important aspect of life, to give thanks to Mother Earth and the gods who surrounded her, to ask for help or protection. "Offering" sounds heavy in today's ear, almost dangerous. But what was sacrificed?: e.g. flowers, seeds, the first harvest, fruits, etc.

In the Andes of Peru and Bolivia these ceremonies are still a very important part of everyday life and I felt very connected to these rituals since my arrival 15 years ago. I felt that they are very powerful and very soon they became a part of my life.

Especially as an animal communicator and medicine woman, I know that everything that surrounds us is alive, you can communicate with everything. Every animal, every tree, every mountain holds messages for us. And then why not thank and honor these beings as well (as we do among humans) - and then feel their gratitude, just as each person of us feels when receiving recognition or thanks! After each offering, an unbelievable feeling of deep connection spreads within me.

Yesterday I went to the mountain that called me to the Sacred Valley of Peru and at the foot of which I have been living for more than 5 years to thank him and all the beings and ancestors of the Tawantinsuyo with a very special offering. Since my youth they had called me to this part of the world, feeling a fire in me to travel to South America without knowing the reason. However, they knew that I should heal my past and that of my ancestors here in order to rediscover the lost roots of my own homeland.

My boundless gratitude and appreciation goes to some very special people here and the ancestors of this world, who have kept their rituals, habits and traditions despite the brutal colonization that continues to this day, so that I too can remember my roots again. For a long time I felt part of the Andean people, but now I know why I couldn't accept my own German roots for so long. I'll write more about that soon.

Today I also bow to all my four-legged masters who have accompanied me on this path. They too have made many sacrifices so that I can take off my armor. They were all present yesterday and I felt their presence, especially that of my dog ​​Inti, who died in this place more than 3 years ago and has set a decisive sign for my healing process.

Do you really want to leave me? - Crossing a bridge of light

A month ago my cat K´anchay became very sick from one day to another and the situation looked pretty bad. A few days of daily vet visits and strong medicines made me realize somewhere deep in my stomach area, that my cat wouldn´t be able to survive this terrible illness which had taken him over.

I never imagined that I would need to take the choice for an animal´s life. In gratitude for my life in the countryside and becoming even more very connected to nature, I also learned over the last few years to embrace the circle of life and death within and around us.

My cat K´anchay had accompanied me for the last 2 years in a tremendously loving way, but also with a very persisting attitude to learn to connect to the here and now, to everything that the present moment held for me. And with the challenging situation I was asked to put into practice his teachings. In the present moment I knew that my cat was suffering, that the chances for his recovery were close to zero.

Being a soul level animal communicator and working with so many clients and their animals, I know that animals chose when and how they leave their physical body, who is going to be present and who not. We have a soul contract – just like we do between humans.

View from my neighbourhood in Urubamba, Sacred Valley Peru

K´anchay chose me to learn important life lessons (just like all animals do with all humans!), so that my soul can evolve and I can become a better human being. The soul contract between both of us had been completed and furthermore, K´anchay chose to leave his physical body in that way – as part of the soul lesson, for me to stay connected in the present moment – and to show me something that I had already heard of, but never seen or experienced …

At the vet´s I held him in my arms and closed my eyes to say good bye. I asked for both of us to be bathed in divine light for the last moments together and instants later, I saw the sky opening. Tremendous, golden, radiant light not only bathed us but also created something in front of my inner eye that I feel to call a bridge of light. On the other side, many animals waited, ready to welcome K´anchay and in front of all of them sat Inti, my dog who had been shot a day after K´anchay and his brothers had been born.

On their side was no sadness, there was no suffering or pain. I felt lightness, joy and happiness and my cat crossed over faster than I had imagined. Our ego wants many words, long good byes, but when I understood what had been happening, he was already gone. My mind couldn´t believe it, but the feeling of peace gave me confirmation of what had just occurred.

Then K´anchay was euthanized, but I knew, that his soul wasn´t with us anymore, just his body. I cried – but not in pain, but in gratitude for this realization and that the animals had given me so much beautiful insight. Thank you.

Allow yourself to be broken

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon a couple of months ago, when I found this tiny kitten on the side of the road, which caused me to stop. Two minutes later, she sat on my little boy´s lap in the car. It was an impulse, I had no idea of the consequences yet. The vet didn´t give her too much hope for survival but I felt a strong desire of life in her (she had been maybe 4 -6 weeks old) and my son fell completely in love with her. 

I don´t believe in coincidences and know that THE ANIMAL choses, when it and under what circumstances it wants to come into our life. On a 3D perspective I could say “I saved this little kitten”, but on a deeper level, called soul level, this little girl, which we named Nala (Present in Swaheli and better known as the lioness in my son´s favourite movie Lion King) decided to walk into my life at a once again very crucial point in my life.

My other two cats accompanying us in front of my altar space. K´anchay a few days before his death - warming little Nala with his body.

Nala wasn´t a normal kitten, not only was she completely underdeveloped and malnourished I soon found out that she may also have Leuxemia, a fatal, tricky and terrible cat disease, very common in the area where I live. Constant vet visits were the consequence, injections, treatments – her success of survival was an ongoing rollercoaster ride. A corner in my head asked “What did I get myself into? Don´t I have enough on my plate?” But soon I should learn better.

A couple of days after her arrival, I was confronted with a happening in my personal life that broke me to pieces. It felt impossible to understand, even less to accept, making it impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Above that I became very sick. Our body is just another great messenger of our mental and emotional state of being, even sending out intuitive messages, but this could be another story.

So, here I was struggling to accept, listen to and embrace the tremendous emotional pain that had taken me over and at the same time trying to take care of my little son, my animals - and Nala.

A week ago I had needed to put my cat K´anchay (Light in Quechua) to sleep. I received the messages very clearly that K´anchay had wanted to leave his physical body to teach me a great lesson. Read about his messages here. 

I looked at Nala. Did she also want to leave her little body already? She was so incredibly sick I felt there was no more hope. I thought: I don´t want you to be dependent on chemicals all your life and be in an ongoing struggle for survival.

But the messages of staying or leaving weren´t clear. One crucial moment, I picked her up and looked at her desperately, asking: “What is it with you? Do you want to live or not?” – And she responded: “Do YOU want to live or not?” – Ohhh nooo, here it was, the great connection, the puzzle pieces started matching up. Memories of the last few weeks passed within moments. Still somehow in disbelief and tears running down my face I said “Ok, let´s go then.” My great holistic doctor prescribed my some herbal medicine for Nala and a couple of days later, she started eating, gaining weight, she is purring again when – like now whilst I am writing to you. I still sometimes can´t believe what tremendous messengers our animals are.

The struggle isn´t over – neither for her nor in my personal life. I guess, we have quite a way to go. But I look at her and am reminded, that I am also taking tiny steps in embracing what has just happened in my for life. Nothing is ever a coincidence.

I will keep you updated on Nala´s progress.

PS: I didn´t want to write another sad post, but Nala pushed me, because she says it will help others in challenging moments of frustration, fear and despair. I pray that we can learn to embrace with humbleness and gratitude everything that comes in these challenging times. Everything arises for us to learn a lesson, to become better human beings.

Many blessings from Peru.

May the light shine on.

K´anchay, you were born here under the chimney in our little house on 20 – 01 – 2020 together with your 5 other completely black brothers and sisters the day before Inti was shot. The times that followed would change my life in tremendous ways.

You were the odd kitten, that wanted to stay with me, the one that had some funny long white hairs on your back. You were a bit of a loner. We had already entered the time of famous C**** quarantine when I had found homes for the others and you were the one that did not want to leave the house at all. You were uncatchable. Your mom was somehow not happy with your stay, she always rejected you a bit. It was heartbreaking at times. I asked you for your name and heard: K´anchay (light in Quechua) and I remember thinking, what a weird name. I then remember the download I received afterwards of you being the predecessor of my beloved dog Inti (Sun in Quechua). More about that in that blog post.

Since Inti´s death I had been walking in a lot of darkness, embracing all the medicine that it brought forward, all the healing, every sun ray. I don’t judge it, I am a Scorpio, I am the walker in the night in Mayan and I had so strongly prayed to heal myself. I chose this path myself - and you walked it so magically with me. The sun returned step by step into my heart and life, whilst I kept and keep healing my past, the past of my ancestors – personally and collectively.

K’anchay, you were so stubborn, every time I came home you started crying so loudly and persistently that it even annoyed me. It took some time to understand that you wanted me to be in the present moment, to sit down first of all, connect with home and calmness before carrying on with whatever needed to be done. You so often lay on that part of body, which felt in pain. You and your mum were always present when I sat down in front of my altar space, you both were always present when I played music, when was creative. I sometimes thought you must be the most surrendered and love seeking cat in the world. Whilst writing now, I hear you purr silently, I feel you but I also smell the pain of your suffering that last few days.

Around two years later the universe brings me a strong reminder of the events that happened two years ago. Over the last two months the movie “Groundhog day” has become a reality in my life in so many unbelievable ways that it made it hard breathing at times: same people, same situations, same places, same connections, same lessons … just in a more compressed form. The universe came to teach me the same lesson again and to ask whether I was ready to embrace now, what is awaiting me?

When the events started repeating themselves my little kitten Nala ( I found out, that it means “present” in Swahili) started a fight of life and death, prayers every night for her survival until the next day, whilst I was emotionally living parallel the repeating pain of 2020.

And on Saturday, 26th March I saw my black cat K´anchay sitting at my window looking like a ghost … sooo terribly sick. The vet didn´t give me many chances but I tried and prayed and realized that groundhog time was also repeating itself here. K´anchay, my light in the darkness, wanted to leave, he was suffering too much. I had felt it coming: that I would need to choose for his pain relief and when I was at the veterinarian I closed my eyes and bathed ourselves in tears and then I felt streams and streams of golden light running all over us. He was lying so calmly in my arms, I felt the oneness of our connection, of our hearts. Suddenly so many animals appeared in front of my inner eye, so much light, I felt so much welcoming love and in front of all of them was my dog Inti - beautiful, shining and strong as always - welcoming K´anchay to come over. And off he went, he left with no pain, with no sorrow or judgement. The vet´s heartfelt work was only something with K´anchay´s body. I knew his spirit wasn´t there anymore.

“Katja, my lesson with you is done. The light has gone out, I have guided you through the pain, I have taken some of your pain. Your death is my death. Your rebirth is my rebirth. My suffering is gone; your suffering will fade. Bury your pain together with my pain. I am light, you are light, we are eternal light. United in love and peace.”  

May your light shine on, within me and us, all around us. Thank you for sharing this journey with me, my brother, master and friend. I love and honour you.

A matter of life and death

I had not suffered from anxiety attacks for a few months, but some recent happenings brought them right back to my reality again. How much I fear them, how much I get into a state of panic when I feel them arising.

Yesterday I was in the middle of cooking and out of nowhere I felt the sadness slowly wanting to flood over, my heart began racing and I felt my stomach tightening. I tried to calm myself, asking where it came from right now? – No answer. I wondered if it was really mine? – No answer. I tried to carry on concentrating on my cooking, went into the garden to collect some veggies and herbs – No help. My heart started beating faster, my stomach became tighter and started burning. I took my Rescue remedy various times – No relieve.

More panic, more fear: what to do? where to run to? I ran into the garden and sat on the grass. Trying to breathe, then trying to concentrate on my breathing. A force pushed me to lay down on the grass. There I was fully connected to the trembling of my body, the heart racing so fast it could win a marathon, my stomach area ready to explode like a volcano. I couldn´t get up any more, I was flat on the ground. I felt my body so heavy as if I was sinking into the earth. I was in a grave, my own grave. It was heavy and dark and unbelievably real. My mind went blank – thank God and I just kept breathing, trying to feel all the sensations in my body. Dying, death all within me. And all I did was surrender. Maybe the first time in my life I consciously surrendered to this moment of death, no thinking, just being by my own death.  

No idea, how many moments went by until I realized that my heart beat slowed down, that the fire became smaller, that the trembling and shivering of my body became calmer. My cat K´anchay had made himself comfortable on my belly, then being replaced by my dog´s head Killa.

I slowly calmed down and started feeling the tremendous embrace of Mother Earth, then finally started hearing the rushing sound of the water nearby, the sun shining on my face and the wind tickling my skin: You are alive (again).

For years I had run away from these attacks, I would never have them allowed to arise, “killing” them with sweets, alcohol, work, social media. I used to cry and flip, go mad, look for others being responsible for my anxiety. Anything, just not to embrace it. But I am on a body cleanse right now, so there was no escape.

And here I am, for the first time I really managed to overcome this incredibly powerful wave of emotions that want to be brought into awareness. So many phrases I had read about confronting, but finally I had been able to.

And today I embraced another one. And I did the same, then cried about the pain that is still alive inside me, then cried in relieve that it was possible to release one more layer of my onions. That doesn’t mean that I am not scared of more of these attacks wanting to be come to the surface, but is there an option, if my deepest prayer is to heal everything I can that still hurts within?

Healing is a life long journey, I start to understand and whilst being in this body there will never be an end. It is the way I am able to observe, manage, hold and embrace everything.
