CAROL KOMITOR, FOUNDER OF HEALING TOUCH FOR ANIMALS

Tammy calls us to examine our all-too-human extremes of mistreatment and neglect of animals versus our codependent and overattentive neediness with our animal companions to find a healthier higher ground. She gently yet firmly teaches us to look for the divine purpose and deeper meaning in all our predicaments with our animals as reflections of ourselves. Soul Healing with Our Animal Companions is an essential read for all animal lovers, whether you are on the front lines of animal activism or quietly living with animal beloveds. It will open you, empower you, deepen you, and work magic on your own soul.

A Letter to the Reader

Dear Animal Lover,

Thank you for choosing to read Soul Healing with OurAnimal Companions. It has been my dream for many yearsto write about the findings of my work with both people andanimals. I am excited to share this information with you soyou can better recognize and understand your animals deeperteachings just waiting to be revealed.

You are their guardians, but they are your teachers. Theirteachings have an underlying purpose, to allow in more loveand more joy into both of your lives.

This book talks a lot about how animals serve you andyour family, but I know that if you were drawn to this book,the animals that you have helped, rescued, and shared yourhome and heart with are better for having had you in theirlives. They would not have grown and healed and loved asdeeply if you hadnt cared for them as you did.

Im a big believer in the power of stating intentions andaffirming them formally. So I want to share with you my firmbeliefs and purpose for writing this book:

1. To help people everywhere unlock the potential of a deeper, more conscious relationship with their animals, for the benefit of them both;
2. To empower people to trust themselves about decisions they may have to make on behalf of their animal companions;
3. To help people understand their animals and their teachings so that the more difficult times can be easier, and the easier times can be even better, and;
