Mirroring and Modeling Behavior

Author: Mind Body Spirit.fm March 18, 2024 Duration: 38:49
In this episode Meredith, Julie and Karen discuss how our animals use mirroring and modeling behavior to get their humans attention in an effort to highlight areas and paths for growth and expansion. Providing definitions for each type as well as a number of stories from their experience, you’ll learn how to work with your animal when these types of behaviors arise, as well as the amazing changes you may see in your relationship.

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.
