Hello everyone and welcome to the Awaken Together podcast.
I am Jen and today we have a very special guest with us.
Heather Lee is the author of Canine Spirit Guide and describes herself as a galactic
canine channeler.
I am so excited to welcome and just hear all about the journey of this sort of channeling
and connection.
So welcome to our podcast, Heather.
Thank you very much, Jennifer.
Thank you for having me and I'm really excited to have a nice little chat with you today
and your audience.
Yes, it's so neat.
Yeah, you popped up in the most random way to be able to find you and I'm so grateful.
I was interested like right away when I saw the book you had wrote, I was like, I want
to know so much more about that.
And then I just found out too, Heather has been a PT for a long time.
For those of you who have listened to the podcast for a while, all my experience with
being in physical therapy, all the mind and body connection, so wild synchronicity there
too.
Yeah, isn't that a small world?
That's a small world.
So why don't you tell our audience first before we get into all the canine stuff.
Yeah, how you kind of went from doing what you were doing to entering into kind of a
more spiritual path like the story.
Yeah, it's a wild ride actually.
I mean, I always knew that I had a spiritual side to me, but I was really intimidated of
it and I didn't want to be different than everybody else.
I've always been a little bit aloof and it's been hard for me to fit in with my peer group.
So I didn't want to stick out even more.
So I found the career of physical therapy to be really a safe career path because I've
always been intrigued with the body and how it works and how to fix it and maintain it.
And so I really was attracted to that career path and I loved the knowledge, but I really
didn't fit in that either.
I mean, I really didn't fall into the paradigm of reactive medicine.
That wasn't why I got into it and that wasn't what I wanted to do.
So I was still very uncomfortable with trying to fit in and I couldn't understand it all.
So I went through 30 years of being a physical therapist.
I shifted around a bit.
I was a professional dog trainer for a while and I even did, I was a professional massage
therapist and I got my training in functional medicine.
I just never was quite comfortable.
So I kept searching for something and I've always been on a spiritual path trying to
heal myself from decades of trauma and childhood trauma and just trying to sort it all out
and figure it out and understand why I was here.
I just kind of felt like there was a reason I was here and I couldn't find what that was.
So in the lockdown we had in 2020, a big sign came through.
It's what they describe as a call to arms and it was a very alarming sign or signal
that I was shown and I won't give it away because it's in the book and I don't want
to take away the impact that it's meant to have when you read about it, but it is like
nothing that you will ever experience in your life.
And so I knew when I saw it that it was something huge and I could feel the energy just wash
over me as I laid eyes on it.
And from that moment for the next couple of days, I felt different.
Something had changed inside of me and I didn't know what, I just knew it was big.
So I started to find and search for a team, a support group that could help me because
I knew something huge was coming.
And I found an astrologer and a numerologist and a hypnotherapist and my primary mentor
was a, let's see, what do they call him?
He's a shaman.
He's a mystic shaman and a clairvoyant.
So he was my primary mentor through this whole process.
Had I not had those guys, I would have thought I was going crazy because my whole world changed
fast.
So I started working with my mentor and he told me, well, you are supposed to write a
book.
And by the time I started working with him, it was 2022.
He said, you're supposed to write a book and it's going to be finished by the end of the
year.
And I said, well, what's it about?
He says, you're supposed to ask that yourself.
Good luck.
So I was like, well, okay, what in the world am I going to write about?
Because my whole life has so many incredible stories in it.
It would be hard to pick one.
So I started a number of manuscripts and then one night I had a dream and it was one of
those dreams.
It's not really a dream.
I don't know if you or your audience knows the difference between astro travel and dream
state, but I was actually in a conference with my own personal spirit guides and we
were talking about the book and the title of the book was being tossed around and it
was a combination of the same three words.
So while I was still asleep, I wrote down in my journal that I keep next to my bed these
three words.
And when I woke up the next day, I realized it was canine spirit guides.
So that was the title of my book.
And then I knew what I was writing about.
So that sort of began my awakening because I hadn't even begun before I even started
writing the book.
So through the process of writing this book, what I didn't understand initially is that
the canine spirit guides were actually working with me and healing me while I was writing
the book.
And the more they healed, the more my clairvoyant skills and my magic came out.
So the more I was able to connect with them and understand and literally channel chapters
of the book at a time and met them and understood who they were, what their names were, what
their job titles were, why they wanted to connect with humanity and what all of the
dogs in my life had represented, how they had tried to work with me throughout my life
with the 30 dogs that I had.
So it was a lot of information coming through, but that's sort of how the awakening all happened
in a nutshell.
Amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing all the little pieces and I'm sure having that awakening
moment, I mean, we're the Awaken Together podcast because it's wild once you kind of
go through that shift, reflecting back on your life, so much more makes sense.
You can see how calling was woven in and it takes that pivotal moment to all of a sudden
just like rapid fire, like the puzzle pieces all start to like kind of catalyze and make
sense and I love that.
Yeah, you were able to kind of call in your people and it kind of went in the steps it
was supposed to.
Also, I don't think the amount of times on this podcast we have said like 2020 was like
such a like portal.
I mean, it's wild how many people shifted in that year and just like, yeah, it kind
of just was such a big, it pauses all the pause and just realized some of the absurdity
of what we were going through the motions of I think in so many ways and oh my gosh,
did that start to like shift perspective and I think so many people, if they hadn't to
like, you know, I think a lot of us were dabbling into the healing journey, but that became
such a moment, I think for so much like really leaning into spirituality to get like louder
for so many.
So I love that that was, yeah, such a guide for you in a big way and I would love to hear
and we have talked about like psychic abilities and stuff and clairvoyant like and it's so,
so true that the more you start opening that channel, the stronger it starts to get and
you kind of learn how to have a communication system with whatever it is you're meant to
channel.
I would love to hear like, I know your book has lots of the details of the journey with
your different dogs and stuff, which is so neat.
I'm so excited to get to read through the whole thing.
But yeah, how did those messages first start surfacing for you and I also would love for
you to tell the audience kind of the difference between what would maybe be like pet psychic
versus canine channel or like what kind of the difference feels like to you.
Yeah.
So I get, initially I was getting messages when I was in meditation, so I had to learn
how to meditate.
I wasn't practicing any sort of spiritual routine at all before 2022, so I had to learn
to meditate and through meditation I was being literally changed.
And I describe a number of those meditations in my book, how literally these guides were
reprogramming me and also healing me throughout this meditation process.
And there's so much healing technology available to us energetically that we're not even completely
aware of the whole other world.
Yeah.
I mean, we can download programs and information and we can receive spiritual upgrades to our
DNA.
I mean, there's just so much we have access to that we've never known before.
And now it's really coming through strongly.
Initially, it was me trying to free write while I was in meditation and that never worked
very well because it just ended up being gibberish scribble on the paper and it would only make
me frustrated.
But what I found was that the more I scribbled and let that frustration come through the
scribble, the more I started to afterwards, I got sort of the frustration out of the way.
Then I could write a coherent paragraph after that.
So I wasn't necessarily free writing.
It's just that I used the writing to open up the channel and then they would just channel
through passages for me to write.
And eventually I just started recording it because I couldn't write it down fast enough.
I just set up a recorder and just spoke it because it was so much easier than trying
to write it.
And then now, of course, they just speak to me whenever I'm in the shower or on my bicycle
or washing dishes and I just have to stop what I'm doing and record what they're telling
me.
So the process has changed throughout my development and throughout the amount of time I've spent
doing it.
But in the more experienced I get, the easier it is.
But one thing that I didn't understand in the beginning was what was happening.
I'm like, so I didn't really feel like I was psychic.
I mean, I've always been really intuitive, but I can't predict the weather.
I can't predict an event that's going to happen in my life.
I get these intuitive nudges and urges like most people do, but I don't see the future
and I don't see dead people.
So I'm like, what am I?
What am I doing here?
What do I call myself?
I have no idea what to call myself because people are asking, so what are you?
What do you do?
I'm like, I don't know.
About six months after the book came out, I kept asking them, what is my title?
Because the canine spirit guides all gave me their title.
So I'm like, well, what's mine?
So finally, about six months of asking, they finally gave me the title Galactic Canine
Channel.
And this is different than being, say, for instance, an animal communicator or an animal
psychic, because what I do is not, I don't connect with the individual spirit or soul
of the dog, the physical dog.
I'm connecting with a collective group of entities that are communicating through your
dog with you and offering you direction and healing and spiritual guidance.
And this is a benevolent group that's been with us since the beginning of time, but they
never really wanted to be known before.
So they haven't felt the need to come out and be seen or to be heard.
So now that we're in this huge upheaval of ascension, and it's very important that humanity
heal because before we can ascend, we have to heal the lower vibrational energies that
we're still holding on to.
So that's what they offer is this huge healing capacity they bring to us.
And what do they call it, an advanced technology for instant healing that we've not known we
had access to before, which is what they demonstrated through their healing of me.
And when I wrote the book, I thought it was just a cool book about how our dogs are in
our lives for a reason and all the synchronicities that we don't actually see.
But what I came to find out several months after it was published was that wasn't the
point of the book at all.
The point of the book was to demonstrate the healing that I went through through my process
and with their assistance and that healing is accessible to all of humanity.
So that's actually what the book is about.
I love that.
So yeah, it kind of takes you on a very similar journey just because you were channeling as
you were writing.
So I love that.
Yeah, right, right.
Yeah, do you want to share like, just an example of, yeah, in retrospect, like one of, yeah,
just one of the dogs that stands out, like kind of like what our audience should know
about some of the pets and like a little example of what our pets can be called to guide us
through.
Oh, yeah, there's so many.
Wow.
Let's see.
So each guide has a different job description and a different focus.
There are over 50 of them.
This first book is about the first four that came forward and they call themselves the
core four.
And they dig deeply into our core, which is why they're called the core four.
But they want us to understand the core meaning, the core emotion, or the core experiences
that we need to release.
And they are involved in very serious, deep work that's designed to unravel and get to
those core programs, beliefs, and tags that we need to eliminate in our energetic field
so that we can embody more of our own pure soul and divine energy.
So let's see.
With that being said, let me chat a little bit about one of the first guides in the book,
Oscar.
So he came through one of my, well, two of my dogs, Nick and Zozo.
And when I was first learning to channel, I was just instructed how to do it by my mentor.
And so I sat down and tried to do it.
And I did see for the first time ever, I was able to see a dog sitting in front of me.
And it was my big hundred pound dog, Zozo.
And I saw him sitting in front of me in his dog form.
He was a Belgian Malinois.
And I saw his lips moving, but I couldn't hear what he was saying.
And I said, please turn it up.
This is me in a meditative state, my eyes closed.
And he just kept mouthing these words that I couldn't hear and he wouldn't turn it up.
And I got so frustrated.
I stopped meditating.
I texted my mentor and I said, it's not working.
The three-year-old stomping their foot is not working.
I can't do it.
And he said, what's the emotion that's coming through right now?
And the minute he said that, this rush of energy just ran through my entire body.
And all of a sudden these memories of my childhood came through of when I couldn't speak because
my father was emotionally abusive and I was not allowed to speak.
I wasn't allowed to have an opinion and I wasn't allowed to defend myself.
And at that moment, at that point in my life, I had a different dog.
He was a German shepherd.
And so all of a sudden, as this energy came rushing through me, I went back to meditation.
I said, okay, let's do this.
Show me everything I need to see.
Tell me everything I need to hear.
Whatever needs to happen for this to come through, let's do it.
So in a meditative state, my body went through a massive physical purge.
The only way I can describe it is it's kind of like a conscious seizure.
Like my whole body began to shake and stiffen and tremble.
And I was sweating and I had tears running down my face, even though I wasn't crying.
And my body stiffened so that my face pointed upward.
And all of a sudden, my mouth just opened as wide as it could and this sound, this barbaric
sound came out of my mouth and I didn't even recognize it.
I thought someone was behind me screaming.
Even my voice.
But this is how they cleansed me and this is how they removed all of this stagnant,
deeply buried energy that was trapped, that needed to be freed, released, and removed.
And once that was done, I could then go down, go to my paper and I just start writing.
This is the first time I just wrote freely what they were telling me to write.
And it ended up being the first message from the canine guides.
And it was all about the dog that had been present in my life, this German Shepherd during
my childhood and how he had stood by me while I was feeling so oppressed and so angry about
my father and how I was being treated, how he had held my energy and my courage and my
voice and kept it for me until I was ready to take it back.
So this is the job of this guide, this canine spirit guide.
This is what he does for you when he's in your life.
And this was also the first time that they showed me that, number one, I learned that
the dogs reincarnate because both of those dogs were the same dog, the Malinois that
was in my life when I was in my 30s and then that German Shepherd that was in my life when
I was 11, 12.
So that was the same dog.
And obviously I had the need for that guide at both those times in my life, which I demonstrate
in the book.
So that was really magical to me because I felt the power of the healing that they had
to offer for the very first time.
Plus, I was connected with my voice.
My first time in my life, I was able to speak freely after that.
And after this process, it was like I was completely emptied out and I was in such a
state of peace that I no longer had to monitor what was happening in my mind.
I didn't have to censor my thoughts.
That was all so potent and so powerful.
I got chills so many times while you were talking about all of it.
Yeah.
And it's so beautiful that the link between so much with the animals that like resonates
so strong for me and also like those experiences of having like an energy come through and
just having that huge release is also so wild.
I've had so many moments come through and like, yeah, I started working with new guides
or had something come up or like was able to actually go back.
And when you experience your first like emotional release and purge, it's like a very wild experience.
And it so shows why we need to carve out time to, yeah, be in a state of reflectiveness
or release or like, you know, some sort of just pause time because what can come through
and what's going on beyond what we can perceive and see right in front of us is so many layers
deeper.
And yeah, that's, oh my gosh.
Yeah.
Your story so connects with that.
And thanks for sharing about the dog.
I also love that.
Yeah.
You had a dog just reincarnate and come through like a same soul spirit.
Yeah.
So beautiful.
Yeah.
And I had always questioned that, you know, as most people do, do dogs go to heaven?
Do dogs have spirits?
You know, all of those questions were answered for me without a doubt.
So that was an amazing discovery for me because I always just wondered and I wasn't sure,
but now I'm totally sure.
Yeah.
I love that so much.
And it's so funny.
I'm so excited to read the book and I will definitely share with you like all the experiences
that come through reading it fully through.
But I know as a little kid, I wasn't allowed to have a dog.
And my favorite book growing up was this very technical, sciencey book of all of the dog
breeds.
And I carried it everywhere, but I wasn't allowed to have it.
I knew dogs are going to be a potent thing for me.
It just was not allowed.
So I just like carried this book around as like my pet dog.
And I loved it.
And it's so cute.
My current dog, Wilson, when we went to go adopt him, we were just really wanting to
find a foster dog to take in and then keep.
And his name was Wilson and our last name is Wilson.
So he's Wilson Wilson.
And it works so cute.
We're like, oh, we're definitely taking you.
It's adorable.
Yeah.
It's so cute.
And I also learned in the pandemic, like when I, yeah, we were just all being called to
be in so much more.
I decided one day I was like, I'm going to paint a picture of Wilson.
And I discovered I have this incredible talent for painting dogs and I can't, I have tried
to paint other things since then.
I even tried to paint a cat and I can't do it.
It's just the dog.
They're the only ones that don't come through for my painting abilities.
That's your specialty.
It is.
And it feels channeled.
The love feels channeled and then it just pours out into the painting.
And I just painted a picture of Cat's Dog Minnie and I love Cat's Dog when I get to
go visit her and I like have such a bond.
So it was so fun to paint and it feels like such a beautiful channel.
I literally can feel the weight of how much animals are like absorbing and helping.
You can see it in so much of their behavior.
So I just love that you've been able to get this higher knowledge from even a deeper source
of the potency of that and how it even is deeper than what we're seeing and perceiving.
Oh, yeah.
It goes so much deeper than we can even understand.
It's not from this dimension.
So it's so much to take in and so much to understand.
And actually, honestly, we're not truly meant to understand it fully.
We're just meant to trust it.
Right.
I love that.
Yeah.
Do you have any...
I mean, I think everyone should definitely read your book and go on the journey.
Do you have any recommendation for our listeners for just how to kind of utilize this presence
or to kind of stick with it and some of the experiences, what has worked best?
Yeah.
So the book, of course, carries their frequency and their energy of these Core Four K-9 guides.
So as you read this book, it will activate you for anybody who feels like they have a
purge moment when they read the book.
That's intentional.
So some people, when they read the book, will get really angry about the stories because
some of these stories are not comfortable to read.
They were not comfortable to write.
And if you react to it with your own discomfort or angry or sadness, then that is the K-9
guides activating you and stirring up that emotion in you that needs to be released.
And so sit with that for a bit and ask questions about it.
Go into meditation if you meditate or just sit quietly or sit with your own dog and say,
what is it about this that's stirring this emotion for me?
What do I need to know about this?
Because that has been happening with my readers.
And it's very interesting, the perspectives that come back on this book and the perspective
reflects your own healing that needs to be understood and released.
So keep that in mind when you read the book and then also realize that as you go through
the book, the frequency will change.
So the frequency starts out at a certain level with the first two guides.
And then there's a huge jump between the second and the third guide.
So some people never make it past the second guide because they're not ready to hold that
frequency.
So it'll sit on the shelf or they just can't stay interested in it or they keep falling
asleep when they read it.
So stay with it because if you can get through each section of the book, that means that
you're able to hold more and more frequency, more and more healing.
So bravo for you, but it's going to activate you.
It's going to get you stirred up.
So use it as a tool for that and understand that's what's happening.
Amazing.
That makes so much sense.
And yeah, how can we support you, find you, find the book?
Yeah.
So the book is available everywhere.
You can get on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles.
You can get in every form.
I recorded my own audio book so you can get on Audible.
You can also get on ebook.
And if you go to my website, you'll find all the links to buy it there.
My website is HeatherLeeStrom.com.
And the book also has its own webpage, which is k9spiritguides.com.
And that's the letter K and the number nine.
And on that webpage, you can actually read more in depth about each guide, what their
mission is and the dogs in my life that were connecting with those guides for me.
And then I do private services through my practice, energetically, private sessions
where I can work with you and the spirit guides just as I received for myself in a one on
one session specifically tailored to your needs, because each of these sessions is channeled
through your energy and the canine spirit guide that wishes to work with you.
So these are really intense, deep healing sessions and they last about 90 minutes.
I'm also doing group events, which are all listed on my webpage.
I have my own podcast, which I run on YouTube.
And at the end of that podcast, we do a healing session together with the canine spirit guide.
So you'll be able to experience their frequency on that podcast.
And then there's a couple of free things on my website for you that you might be interested
in, which is a handbook to a guide to determine whether the canine spirit guides are working
with you through your own dog.
And then there's also a very beautiful healing meditation that was channeled through one
of the canine guides, Anthea, that's available for you on my webpage as well.
Amazing.
I can't wait to dive into all of that.
And thank you for sharing your story.
This is such a cool, unique perspective.
And I love how you're being used to getting to step into your power after, you know, just
as a recent, just kind of huge shift in all the beautiful things you're doing out of it.
So inspiring to hear.
Thank you so much.
And thank you for allowing me to share.
Yeah, we appreciate you.
And thank you to all the listeners.
We will see you next time.
Thanks, Heather.
Thank you.
