Dr. Barrie Sands - Co-Creating Health

Author: Mind Body Spirit.fm November 10, 2025 Duration: 1:03:42
Dr. Barrie Sands is a veterinarian, healer, scientist, author, artist, and an international educator and speaker. Within a diversity of passions, she values seeking truth as it pertains to our humanity and the relationships that we have with ourselves, each other, nature, and the animals with which we cohabitate. She is also a HeartMath certified trainer and practitioner of Shamanic Medicine through the 4 Winds Society. Her work marries spirituality, quantum physics and science and she calls this - Illumina Scienca. She says, “Illumina Sciencia is a term that I use to describe the concept of shedding light upon or becoming enlightened with the sense of Knowing. Everything we do in life, our lifestyle choices, health and wellbeing, what we think, what we eat, what we feel and believe; our relationships with ourselves, each other or our pets and animals are all related to how we define ourselves and the world around us.” RESOURCES: ⁠Dr. Barrie Sands Website⁠ - https://drbarriesands.com Our Season Finale is coming soon and we want you to be a part of it!

Ever wondered what your pet is really thinking, or why a bird outside your window seems to pause just for you? The Animal Communication Podcast offers a rare window into those questions, guided by three experienced practitioners: Julie Hirt, Karen Dendy Smith, and Meredith Tollison. This isn't about training tips, but about connection. Each episode is built on their work as Soul Level Animal Communicators®, where they share candid stories and conversations that bridge our human world with the inner lives of animals. You'll hear them explore everyday mysteries-from puzzling behaviors and health concerns to the pure joy of play-as recounted by the animals themselves, both those sharing our homes and those in spirit. It’s a gentle, often surprising journey that redefines our relationship with all creatures, making it a unique listen for families, pet lovers, and anyone curious about the spiritual bonds we share. Presented by Mind Body Spirit.fm, this podcast invites you to slow down and listen in a whole new way.
