Woodstock, VT: Skylight Paths 2003.

Diane Guerror brings us a lovely introduction to many of the ways in which animals can heighten our awareness of our own caring, moral, healing and spiritual qualities. She illustrates these through specific animal examples:

Loyalty - dogs

Playfulness - otters

Power - bears

Heart - lions

Survival - wolves

Vision - eagles

Mind - dolphins

Wisdom - owls

This book is a good invitation to reflections on how we can be more mindful of many of these qualities in our lives, and how we can extend our investments in healing - ourselves and others - beyond our own species. It can serve as a good introduction to spiritual dimensions as well, particularly for those who might not be open yet to the broader dimensions of psychic animal and spirit communications explored in some of the articles in this issue of IJHC and in other books reviewed here.
