What Animals Can Teach Us About Spirituality: Inspiring Lessons from Wild and Tame Creatures

Summary: A Warm and Wonderful Read
Review: A beautifully written glimpse into the psyche of both humans and animals. As a writer I enjoyed Ms Guerrero's descriptions of her personal interactions with both tame and wild animals and felt very much a part of her adventures. Prior to reading Diana's book I thought I knew my buddy, a 100lb Akita, very well. Now I not only notice my dog's subtle clues but have a greater understanding of their meaning. This is a "must read" for all lovers of the spiritual messages of nature.

Summary: How animals can heighten our spiritual awareness
Review: Diana 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.

Summary: Thoughtful adventure
Review: Diana's book is a gift to all of us who are not as animal savvy as we should be. This book came to me just as I aquired a new little kitten. This isn't a book on animal "How To's", but rather a journey to understanding animal behavior. I found it to be an inspiration to me with respect to raising and understanding my kitten. This book is well thought out and very well written. Thank you Diana. Kathy London

Summary: Learn From the Animals...
Review: Don't think that Diana Guerrero advocates a new spiritual fad in advocating that we humans emulate animals. Aesop knew you can't be a human in dog's clothing. Guerrero asks us to stop, turn off the computer, TV, cell phone, and most of all our mental noise, and get attuned to the fundamentals through our animal teachers. She strikes the right balance between addressing humans' shortcomings and addressing the positive and negative qualities of animals. Authoritative, with intelligent discourse on nature, zoology, animal and human behavior, and religious teachings, this book is a great addition to your library as you search for higher meaning.

Summary: Integrating Mind, Body & Spirit w/ domestic and wild animals
Review: Guerrero is in the unique position of integrating mind-body-spirit for both the homo sapien biped readers and the variety of domestic and wild animals she writes about from her actual hands on experience which parallels her own personal journey of personal tranformation. Highly Recommended!
