Episode 464 – Magical and Mindful Animal Thinking

Are you a magical or mindful animal thinker?  Or do you use magical or mindful thinking depending on the situation? This podcast explores these two orientations and how they shape our bonds with our animals. And that, in turn, may influence our animal’s health and behavior.

Superficially, this may seem like just another mind game. But a fair amount of mind-gaming routinely may go on in our relationships with our animals. As Shakespeare’s Hamlet notably pointed out, “… there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Far better to figure out if and when we use magical or mindful animal thinking and their limitations when we do, than get blindsided when our approach breaks down.
