Lessons of Life and Love

As the purpose of our website is to share our experiences with one another so we can enrich the lives and healing of others and our animal companions, I would like to share the story of my dear friend Dakota.  On Monday, November 14, 2011 A Dakota Frost crossed over to the other side.  His soul was called home. His mission was accomplished!

A Dakota Frost was An Angel in Disguise from my viewpoint but those who knew him thought of him as a spoiled barn brat (he was a barn brat!) but he was more than that to me!  We had a shared a special bond. It was like raising a child in many respects. I had Dakota since he was 6 months old and that was 17 years ago. 

Besides teaching me how to ride, he taught me to face my fears, how to care for a chronically health challenged horse and to go the extra mile and pushed me to find solutions to his health challenges.  It also prepared me to find a better way when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. Dakota opened the world of holistic and alternative treatments to me. Indeed I always attributed him to my healing experience. But after his passing, it just solidified it into a concrete reality! 

As a massage therapist we are trained not only in the anatomy and physiology but exposed to the etheric field of the body. We all operate on various frequencies.  Physics and mediums have the ability to tape into those frequencies.  Because thoughts are frequencies, they have the ability to understand the thoughts being transmitted. For those non believers, think of wireless communication.  I chuckle when I think about it.  Wireless communication is as ancient as time! It is NOT NEW!  Technology is able to tap into it and make a “connection” from one cell tower to another.

I am big believer in prayer. Prayers are thoughts. Thoughts are energy and this energy gets transmitted into various frequencies. I just absolutely love angels and cherubs. I’m a big believer in Angels.  We tap into our guardian angels through pray and thoughts. The books I have read tell you to ask them for help.  Angels are very much earth bound!  They are here to help us so don’t be afraid to ask them for help!  Well, I did and they answered my prayers and respected my wishes! Many years ago I would receive apparitions about ominous events that were about to occur within my family.  It took me several years to figure it out why I was getting the apparitions!  When I realized what was happening, I asked my guardian angels to stop sending me these apparitions. They sent them to me to help me prepare for what was to come. But it only made matters worse! I didn’t know who or what would happen but I knew something tragic or a passing was about to occur. The reality was I couldn’t stop it so my preference was not to know. By far it is less stressful!

Animals do think and have emotions!  Since they think, they transmit thoughts. We do exchange these thoughts into frequencies with each other. Your animal is better at reading your body language and feeling your vibrations than those closest to you!  During my treatment, I was able to gage my wellness on Dakota’s health. Dakota was picking up my thoughts and worry about my health and it reflected it in his.  About 2-3 weeks before I received any tests which indicated further challenges in my recovery, Dakota would colic!  At the time we didn’t understand it but over the past 3 years a pattern occurred and I was able to figure out what was happening. Dakota was a barometer during my cancer journey.

A few days after his passing, I contacted Karen Daly from www.animalandspirittalk.com.  I had to know he was ok!  Four things emerged from this event.

• He said his mission was accomplished!  His mission was to guide me through my health challenges and the only way to “reach me” was to have some thing big and drastic happen to him so it would get my attention.
• My mission is to help heal others both human and animal. Go forth!
• Take care of my health.
• Get enough sleep!  I recognized this as a validation she was really in touch with Dakota. The night he passed I was unable to sleep. I was on raw emotion and in disbelief. I would twist and turn. I heard my husband sleep as well as his alarm clock ticking. The first week of his passing my sleep patterns were disrupted.

 A late October snowfall occurred on Saturday, Oct 29, 2011. We had a large amount of snow.  On Sunday morning I went out to help dig out and I saw Dakota bucking and kicking in the snow.  He looked so grand and beautiful that I ran into the house for a camera.  By the time I got out there he finished his rendition and I snapped the photo anyway.  I looked at it for a split second on the review and thought it was dark but put it down and did pay any attention to it. After speaking to Karen I asked my husband, Paul, to download the last photo of Dakota. When I opened the file, I thought to myself, why is this picture so dark?  It was taken at 11 am in the morning when the sun was shining.  So I started to play with the contrast.  When I started playing with the contrast, I noticed something odd in the picture.  It then hit me!  I captured his energy field. It was the angels who made sure the picture was initially dark.  They once again respected my wishes.  As a massage therapist and one who dabbles with energy, I would have recognized something was about to happen.  It would have been a red flag for me. He didn’t want me to worry for we were preparing for the Equine Affair. So this wasn’t revealed until after his passing.

This is the original picture taken around 11 am.

Taken Sunday, October 30, 20011

I played with the contrast to lighten up the photo. It was then I realized something else was in the picture.  There was NO trick photography.  It isn’t necessary.  Since life is stranger than fiction, there was no need to alter this photo!  This is the real deal.

After reading this, please share your experiences with us so we can share them with others.

When you lose someone you deeply love, the initial pain can be and  often unbearable. As time moves on, the entity takes on a new life. You see them in a different way.  They are bigger than life over time!   Dakota has been my Angel in Disguise all these years. It was an honor to own him, protect him and love him. As time heals me from his loss, he too will be bigger than life as I reflect the past 17 years.

We would love to hear from you and post your true life experiences on our site. I am committed to keep Dakota’s mission alive to help heal people and our animal companions.   Thanks for reading!
