Episode 41: Elephant Wisdom and Whale Consciousness, with Dr. Barbara Shor and Nita Daryanani

Animals & Us - Voices of a New Paradigm

About

In this episode, Nita Daryanani interviews Barbara about her work and her
books. Barbara talks about her journey from ethologist (studying animal
behavior) to dog trainer to veterinarian, and finally to animal communicator.
She talks about her experiences of communicating initially with dolphins,
and then in Africa with the elephants and lions, and swimming with
humpback whales in Tonga.

They discuss how animal communication works and how everyone can
communicate with animals in their own ways. And the importance of doing
personal inner work to release old beliefs and patterns, allowing for a deeper
connection with animals, nature, and our own higher selves, or souls. As well
as seeing the world from a higher perspective.

Barbara talks about the similarities between elephants and whales, and how
they serve a similar function on Earth. And she also discusses how they are
different from one another. The conversation ends with a guided meditation
that Barbara leads to help people connect energetically, spiritually, with the
whales.

India, Nita has spent the past 30 years in Hong Kong. When she experienced
a period of deep personal loss and change, she found solace and joy through
her two Yorkies, Nico and Luca. Their unconditional love rekindled her sense
of purpose and inspired her to create a space where others could experience
the same nurturing bond with their pets. Through NurtureYourPet.com, Nita
offers resources for pet wellness, including TeleVet services, support for grief
and loss, and PEMF therapy, as well as conversations with holistic animal
practitioners. Through her work, Nita shares the message that our pets
nurture us just as much as we nurture them—and that love, when shared
with animals, can truly heal and transform our lives.
