BIO:
Miki Jacobs is a prominent medium, public speaker, and author, renowned for her profound connection to the Spirit World. She was brought up in a conservative Jewish household and went on to serve in the Israeli army. However, her life took a significant turn when she relocated to the United States and launched a thriving business. As she settled into her new life, her fascination with spirituality deepened, guiding her on a journey that diverged from her religious roots and the corporate world. This transformative process ultimately led her to close her business and embark on her dedicated spiritual path.
During the initial two years of her spiritual journey, Miki achieved the status of a Reiki Master, offering energy healing to both people and animals. With her deepening meditation practice, she unlocked her innate capacity for connecting with spirits. This newfound ability inspired her to assist others in awakening their own dormant spiritual talents, regardless of their age or stage in life, thus sharing the transformative experiences from her own journey.
Through her work with spirit, Miki has unveiled the notion of our spiritual "Team," comprised of Angels, Spirit Guides, and Departed Loved Ones, who accompany us on our earthly journeys, offering protection and guidance. Miki explores this concept in her first book, Soul Secrets: A Spiritual Guidebook to Your Team - Angels, Spirit Guides, and Departed Loved Ones.
Another significant aspect of Miki's life revolves around her enduring and profound love for animals. Over the past two decades, Miki and her husband Clayton have dedicated themselves to rescuing animals that have suffered abuse, neglect, or abandonment, providing these creatures with a second chance for a joyful and peaceful life on their ranch in southern California. Miki's deep bond with animals intertwines with her spiritual work, as she extends her connection beyond departed loved ones to communicate with people's departed pets, offering solace and closure during times of grief.
Within the pages of her latest book, Sacred Wild: The Spiritual World of Animals, Including Pets, and Its Interconnections with Ours, Miki embarks on a captivating exploration of the spiritual realm inhabited by animals. She delves deep into their soulful journey, shedding light on the profound connection that binds humans and animals together.
Drawing upon insights channeled from the spirit world, extensive research, her wealth of experience caring for animals, and her unwavering affection for them, this book unravels the intricate interplay between the spiritual worlds of animals and humans. Through this compelling exploration, Miki offers valuable insights into the intersection of spirituality and the animal kingdom, unveiling the fundamental essence and shared significance between them.
Miki's extraordinary ability to communicate clearly with the spirit world serves as a conduit for messages of guidance, love, and hope from spirit guides, angels, and departed loved ones. These messages provide compelling evidence of the soul's continuity beyond physical existence.
Additionally, Miki channels a spiritual perspective on crucial matters of the soul and uncovers the underlying causes of various challenges confronting humanity, both on a collective and individual level.
Over the course of her career as a medium and speaker, Miki has conducted thousands of remarkable readings for clients worldwide. Her insightful guidance has touched the lives of individuals through private sessions, group readings, workshops, and lectures held in the United States and Israel.
Committed to sharing the wisdom of the spirit world, Miki employs diverse channels, including her books Soul Secrets and Sacred Wild, social media platforms, and her video channel, to reach as many people as possible.
Miki extends an open invitation to embark on a transformative journey, encouraging individuals to discover their spiritual potential and connect with the profound wisdom and love of the Spirit World.

00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:57.240
Tim Link: Welcome back to Animal Writes on Pet Life Radio.
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.980
Tim Link: Joining me now is internationally acclaimed medium speaker and author Miki Jacobs.
00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:10.280
Tim Link: Talk to us about her latest book, Sacred Wild, the spiritual world of animals, including pets and its interconnectedness with ours.
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:11.920
Tim Link: Miki, welcome to the show.
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.860
Miki Jacobs: Thank you, thank you, Tim, and thank you for having me.
00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:16.000
Miki Jacobs: It's great being here.
00:02:16.380 --> 00:02:18.020
Tim Link: Oh, it's my pleasure having you on.
00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:32.300
Tim Link: I'm super excited about the show because I like delving into a little bit about things that maybe people aren't aware of and things maybe they're aware of from a spiritual aspect, but sometimes don't mention it or don't say it in public spaces.
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.700
Tim Link: And we talk about things about the journey in life with our animals and then the afterlife as well.
00:02:39.260 --> 00:02:45.340
Tim Link: And that seems to be what you cover a lot of in great aspect and in great fashion in your book, Sacred Wild.
00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:46.840
Miki Jacobs: Yes, yes.
00:02:47.100 --> 00:02:51.100
Tim Link: So tell us a little bit about the book and sort of what the readers can expect.
00:02:51.640 --> 00:03:27.960
Miki Jacobs: Right, so really the main theme of the book is a few main important subject, but it was very important for me to express to people how broaden animals are to our lives, pets, animals to the planet, how equal they are to us due to them having like us, as human being, a soul or a spark or a fragment of the creator within their body in the same way we have in ours, and therefore it's make us equal.
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:42.440
Miki Jacobs: So it's a very important kind of piece of information because unfortunately I believe that a lot of people on planet Earth see animals which including their pet as secondary or below us, quote, unquote.
00:03:42.900 --> 00:04:02.700
Miki Jacobs: And when we are aware that indeed they have a soul, which is once again, the energy of the creator within their body, although the soul in animals expresses its Godlike essence through an animal form, it is nonetheless still very powerful in the same way we are.
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:20.460
Miki Jacobs: So it was very important for me to bring that forward that people will look at their pet, will understand that since they have a soul in the body, they are able to do so much more than what we just think they are pet and they're cute and they're helping us to feel better.
00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:28.420
Miki Jacobs: They have a great amount of quite magical powers, different than ours, obviously nonetheless equal.
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:41.040
Miki Jacobs: And since I love animals so very much from a very, very young age, we live here on three acres, my husband Clayton and myself, and we rescue animals.
00:04:41.420 --> 00:04:54.220
Miki Jacobs: So currently we have 20 animals, we rescue horses and cats and dogs, and we have two tortoises, one is 200 pound and we just rescue him about a year ago.
00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:56.520
Miki Jacobs: So we have a lot of animals.
00:04:56.520 --> 00:04:59.720
Miki Jacobs: So I always loved animal very much.
00:04:59.820 --> 00:05:06.860
Miki Jacobs: I always knew how significant they are to our lives, how significant their mission is to our lives.
00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:08.560
Miki Jacobs: So that is in the book, of course.
00:05:09.640 --> 00:05:22.940
Miki Jacobs: And the book is kind of divided into two, where the first half is more spiritual aspect of their path or their purpose, their incarnation, their karma, their mission, their soul groups.
00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:28.660
Miki Jacobs: And the second half of the book was more planet earth information.
00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:35.980
Miki Jacobs: As you mentioned, of course, how to overcome their grief after they leave, what's happened to their soul when they leave the body.
00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:39.640
Miki Jacobs: I gave information about wild animals.
00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:57.360
Miki Jacobs: So basically, I really, really hope that by picking up Sacred Wild, people would look at the animals and their pet completely different with way more respect, way more honor, and way more ways to cherish them because they certainly deserve that.
00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.060
Tim Link: Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:59.260 --> 00:06:00.460
Tim Link: And I love that aspect.
00:06:00.940 --> 00:06:09.500
Tim Link: I always look for, not me personally, but by no clients, mine and friends and relatives, they look for that, what is that true connection?
00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:10.320
Tim Link: What is that soul?
00:06:10.340 --> 00:06:11.220
Tim Link: What is that essence?
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:27.560
Tim Link: Because in society today, like you mentioned, oftentimes we obviously love our animals, especially our domesticated animals, but oftentimes they're sort of determined or society labels them as secondary, as you mentioned, that they are below man.
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:37.980
Tim Link: Even some religious aspects, religious following state that, yes, treat animals with respect and with love and with caring and grace, but they are secondary to man.
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.200
Tim Link: I'm doing air quotes right now when I say that.
00:06:41.820 --> 00:06:48.700
Tim Link: But I've always firmly believed that animals in our life and animals around us are here on equal ground.
00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:50.960
Tim Link: We're all energy, as I call it.
00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:55.180
Tim Link: I can call it a soul, an essence, a spark, however you want to label it.
00:06:55.620 --> 00:07:02.660
Tim Link: But we're all energy and we select a body as a host to fulfill whatever purpose that we have while we're here.
00:07:03.420 --> 00:07:06.460
Tim Link: And we do our very best to fulfill that purpose.
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:15.800
Tim Link: And then we go back into that source energy, that heavenly state, that universal space of love or Rainbow Bridge, whatever it may be, however you want to look at it.
00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:26.020
Tim Link: And I do think that animals are much more aware of themselves and their bodies and their purpose for being here than what we are.
00:07:26.380 --> 00:07:46.500
Miki Jacobs: Yes, you know, Tim, that's why my main focus, which why I chose the first chapter to emphasize on the soul within the body, because without believing that, then a view that they're so cherished and powerful and I able to understand so much more broader perspective would not stick.
00:07:47.020 --> 00:07:56.140
Miki Jacobs: So that's why I brought up the soul, or as you said, can be called many other names, you know, God's lights or names doesn't matter, obviously.
00:07:56.420 --> 00:07:58.000
Miki Jacobs: So yes, so I brought it up.
00:07:58.020 --> 00:07:59.740
Miki Jacobs: So that is the main thing.
00:07:59.760 --> 00:08:02.500
Miki Jacobs: A lot of people having a hard time believing in it.
00:08:02.840 --> 00:08:04.120
Miki Jacobs: It could be childhood.
00:08:04.140 --> 00:08:06.340
Miki Jacobs: It could be a religion belief.
00:08:06.460 --> 00:08:13.900
Miki Jacobs: It could be there's a lot of people that follow the perspective that only human being have soul and therefore be superior.
00:08:14.620 --> 00:08:18.060
Miki Jacobs: So therefore, that is why I started the book with the soul.
00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:35.500
Miki Jacobs: Once you truly and authentically understand that they, like us, have God within their body, the creator, whatever other name we call that, supreme being, powerful being, they are unbelievable, way more than we capable.
00:08:35.560 --> 00:08:46.260
Miki Jacobs: For example, we can, like myself, I believe that to gain the ability to, for mediumship is a inheritance within all human being.
00:08:46.700 --> 00:08:52.640
Miki Jacobs: I was 33 years old when I started teaching myself how to quiet the mind through meditation.
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:59.860
Miki Jacobs: Then I went slowly into energy healing and got into automatic writing and taught myself how to heal spirit.
00:09:00.260 --> 00:09:05.100
Miki Jacobs: So if I did it at the age of 33, then anyone can do that.
00:09:05.520 --> 00:09:20.180
Miki Jacobs: So they don't need that anymore because their soul kind of shine through their personality, which can be lead to a bigger topic that the animals do not have ego, of course ego is not a world.
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:26.540
Miki Jacobs: It's an energy that resides within the physical body of human being, which is the obstacle.
00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:31.420
Miki Jacobs: It's a producer, negative influences, a negative energy.
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:36.220
Miki Jacobs: So it's an obstacle for us to aligning ourselves with the energy of the soul.
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.200
Miki Jacobs: Animals don't have that.
00:09:38.220 --> 00:09:55.100
Miki Jacobs: Animals do not have ego because they do not create negative energy to purposefully act negatively, meaning their reaction, their action, their behavior come with nature, meaning they don't have the intention to act negatively.
00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:17.940
Miki Jacobs: So the point is, is they, animals, are in a constant contact with their higher self, with their soul, within the body, which allow them to see spirit, see departed pets, see us, read our energy when we're moody, when we're sick, that is why a lot of animals are able to know when people are dying, when we are not feeling well.
00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:20.260
Miki Jacobs: So there's so many broadened things.
00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:27.820
Miki Jacobs: So the point is that team, although we can teach ourself to communicate with spirits, it's inherent within them.
00:10:28.280 --> 00:10:31.700
Miki Jacobs: And they use it for various way to help us feel better.
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:42.740
Miki Jacobs: So this is just one example as to the unbelievable powers that the animals have, that is granted to them by the ability to align themselves within their soul, within the body.
00:10:43.060 --> 00:10:49.220
Miki Jacobs: So therefore, in many ways, they are better than us or certainly equally or more powerful.
00:10:49.500 --> 00:10:50.760
Tim Link: Absolutely, absolutely.
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.820
Tim Link: Well, I love your way of thinking because it sounds like what I've been talking about for years.
00:10:54.940 --> 00:11:01.860
Tim Link: So it aligns and resonates with me on a very personal level as well.
00:11:01.880 --> 00:11:04.680
Tim Link: And I concur with everything you're saying within that.
00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:21.200
Tim Link: I do have to ask when going, you mentioned that a little bit later in life, you sort of allowed yourself to expand your spirituality, connect with animals at a deeper level, learn the energy healing techniques and allow your inner knowing to shine.
00:11:21.640 --> 00:11:39.480
Tim Link: Did you feel that when you were younger that you had that within you and maybe perhaps it was suppressed through a society, family, religion, or was it more of a knowing that you just sort of loved the animals and it didn't appear to you until much later on that you could expand that a little bit further?
00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:40.380
Miki Jacobs: Sure.
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.400
Miki Jacobs: So I was completely clueless to spirituality, Tim.
00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:48.160
Miki Jacobs: I was born and raised in a somewhat Orthodox Jewish home.
00:11:48.520 --> 00:11:55.320
Miki Jacobs: My parents, elderly parents are still in Israel now, very much follow the Judaism tradition.
00:11:55.900 --> 00:12:00.200
Miki Jacobs: So I grew up in a house where I frankly was terrified of God.
00:12:00.640 --> 00:12:09.140
Miki Jacobs: I always imagine him as a figure with a beard and a cane, kind of like Moses looking, male, of course.
00:12:09.560 --> 00:12:11.980
Miki Jacobs: So I was, it's a religion.
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:16.020
Miki Jacobs: And of course we all do respect to listenings and their religious belief.
00:12:16.020 --> 00:12:23.120
Miki Jacobs: There's a lot of rules that I believe that are being written or created by human beings.
00:12:23.940 --> 00:12:32.300
Miki Jacobs: So no, I was very much into the Judaism, which knew nothing, zero about spirituality.
00:12:33.180 --> 00:12:36.620
Miki Jacobs: Then I joined the army and I was five years in the Israeli army.
00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:40.260
Miki Jacobs: I was a sergeant and I was a Uzi instructor.
00:12:40.660 --> 00:12:43.520
Miki Jacobs: So to show you how far I was from spirituality.
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.000
Miki Jacobs: And then I came to the United States.
00:12:46.280 --> 00:12:51.040
Miki Jacobs: And when I came here, there's other religion that I was exposed to.
00:12:51.460 --> 00:13:02.560
Miki Jacobs: And I remember the main thing that kind of woke me up, that religion didn't quite make sense to me, is that Judaism believe that they are God's favorite people.
00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:06.100
Miki Jacobs: And I was saying, okay, but what about the other religion?
00:13:06.400 --> 00:13:11.140
Miki Jacobs: And if they say such an unconditional love, why would one religion be favor for him?
00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:15.320
Miki Jacobs: So that kind of pushed me towards frankly spirituality.
00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:20.580
Miki Jacobs: And that's where I start to gather information, that's where I start to meditate, that well.
00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:29.920
Miki Jacobs: And of course, as it's coming in spirituality, the more you feed it energetically, the more you dive into it, the more it's spread and expand.
00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:36.900
Miki Jacobs: And that's when again, I did energy reiki, I'm a reiki master, I did energy healing to animals for two years.
00:13:37.340 --> 00:13:44.960
Miki Jacobs: And then once I acquired the mind, which is of course the biggest obstacle to communicate with spirit, which include departed pets.
00:13:45.460 --> 00:13:52.380
Miki Jacobs: Once you're able to communicate with one light being, spirit, spirit guides, angel, of course that's include animals.
00:13:52.940 --> 00:13:59.660
Miki Jacobs: And it started from there, but no, I came from as far from spirituality as one possibly can come from.
00:13:59.680 --> 00:14:01.780
Tim Link: I think it's important for people to know that.
00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:08.620
Tim Link: And I knew a little bit about your background and from reading the book, Sacred Wild, a little bit about your journey as well.
00:14:08.900 --> 00:14:15.520
Tim Link: But I wanted to really resonate that or put that out there to the listening audience, because I've talked about it many times.
00:14:15.540 --> 00:14:21.380
Tim Link: I've been working on as a animal communicator and consultant and I'm also a reiki master for animals.
00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:24.240
Tim Link: So I've been doing that for 20 years now.
00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:35.880
Tim Link: And I think that, you know, I've talked about it numerous times, how we're all born with sort of a gift or an ability or an intuition to be able to connect with everything around us.
00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:50.660
Tim Link: And by the time we're in our five, six, seven years old, we go to school, we go to church, it sort of gets taught out of us or it just isn't embraced in a lot of cases.
00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:54.180
Tim Link: And so we sort of divert ourselves away from that.
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:04.160
Tim Link: And we follow our life, you know, we go to school, we join the military, we go to university, we get jobs, we get married, you know, have kids, all this wonderful stuff.
00:15:04.540 --> 00:15:11.300
Tim Link: But there is at some point when I think everyone steps back and says, there has to be more, there has to be a deeper connection.
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:27.180
Tim Link: And I always applaud everyone, including yourself, to no matter what stage you are in life, as far as age or just in general, that that's the time if you have questions to investigate it, see what more is out there, allow yourself to open yourself up.
00:15:27.180 --> 00:15:35.660
Tim Link: And as you said, once you allow yourself to do that, and you get into the quiet times, you relax the mind and relax the body.
00:15:35.680 --> 00:15:41.140
Tim Link: That's a guided meditation that we've recorded that's out there on an album of mine.
00:15:41.160 --> 00:15:45.440
Tim Link: And so I'm a big, big believer of that.
00:15:45.460 --> 00:15:54.720
Tim Link: And then, you know, doing a big believer, guided meditation in the ability to quiet the mind and to connect with the animals at a deeper level.
00:15:55.920 --> 00:15:59.000
Tim Link: And so I think it's important for people to realize that, you know, it's okay.
00:15:59.060 --> 00:16:03.280
Tim Link: At some point, you will have questions and thoughts and doubts and you need to expand yourself.
00:16:03.280 --> 00:16:11.900
Tim Link: And you may come back to the point where a particular life, religion, whatever it may be, suits you, resonates with you.
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:18.520
Tim Link: But I do believe that if you allow yourself to open yourself up a little bit more, you'll find out there's much more out there.
00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:22.460
Tim Link: And the animals tend to know it much better than we do.
00:16:22.920 --> 00:16:24.180
Miki Jacobs: Yes, very much so.
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:25.380
Miki Jacobs: Yes, very much so.
00:16:25.400 --> 00:16:26.520
Miki Jacobs: They're very tuned in.
00:16:26.540 --> 00:16:28.060
Miki Jacobs: They're just, yeah, delightful.
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:28.620
Tim Link: Yeah.
00:16:28.880 --> 00:16:30.100
Tim Link: So learn from your animals.
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:31.080
Tim Link: Live a dog's life.
00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:32.720
Tim Link: That's what I try to tell everybody.
00:16:34.660 --> 00:16:36.660
Miki Jacobs: The cat's lives are pretty good too.
00:16:36.940 --> 00:16:38.740
Tim Link: Cats are, yeah, they have it even better.
00:16:38.760 --> 00:16:43.080
Tim Link: They just lay around and, you know, they let you know what they want and otherwise be gone.
00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:43.780
Tim Link: You're not needed.
00:16:43.800 --> 00:16:47.580
Tim Link: And a tortoise life is probably the best of all.
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:53.240
Tim Link: You know, you're gonna live a hundred years and you get fed all this wonderful food and nobody expects great things from you.
00:16:53.880 --> 00:16:59.280
Miki Jacobs: Actually, for the defend of cats, you know, for many years, Tim, I used to say I'm a dog person.
00:16:59.640 --> 00:17:01.020
Miki Jacobs: I had dogs growing up.
00:17:01.140 --> 00:17:04.880
Miki Jacobs: I had dogs, you know, until I had the first cat.
00:17:05.340 --> 00:17:10.400
Miki Jacobs: And now I'm the absolute ultimate crazy cat lady.
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:21.160
Tim Link: Well, I'm the guy who had a feral cat show up, and I decided to feed it and provide a heated bed in a covered area for it.
00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:25.200
Tim Link: And next thing I know, I have three of his females in the harem.
00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:27.900
Tim Link: And next thing I know, I've got 13 feral cats.
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:31.760
Tim Link: And so I got them all trapped, neutered and released.
00:17:31.780 --> 00:17:33.140
Tim Link: And they thought, well, you know what?
00:17:33.280 --> 00:17:34.540
Tim Link: We like this place.
00:17:34.560 --> 00:17:35.780
Tim Link: We're just going to stick around.
00:17:35.800 --> 00:17:41.140
Tim Link: So I'm sure like you, within about a two week period, I became a 13 cat.
00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:42.880
Miki Jacobs: Right.
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.420
Miki Jacobs: So I think we can agree on, we probably need both.
00:17:46.860 --> 00:17:47.680
Tim Link: Yes, we do.
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.420
Tim Link: The more animals, the more better.
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:50.740
Tim Link: That's my theory.
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.060
Tim Link: All right, we're going to take a quick commercial break.
00:17:54.180 --> 00:17:58.320
Tim Link: We'll come back to talk to author Miki Jacobs to learn more about her book, Sacred Wild.
00:17:58.900 --> 00:17:59.780

00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:11.940
Tim Link: Welcome back to Animal Writes on PetLife Radio.
00:19:12.620 --> 00:19:22.060
Tim Link: Continue our conversation with Miki Jacobs in her book, Sacred Wild, the Spiritual World of Animals, including pets and its interconnectedness with ours.
00:19:22.760 --> 00:19:29.600
Tim Link: Now Miki, we touched on briefly at the first half about the thought of what happens to our animals after they make their transition.
00:19:29.820 --> 00:19:33.260
Tim Link: Do they go to the infamous, wonderful Rainbow Bridge?
00:19:33.940 --> 00:19:36.500
Tim Link: Do they go back to the same source that we do?
00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:39.860
Tim Link: Are we all from the same place, and will we see them again?
00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:48.640
Tim Link: And I think you did a great job in the book explaining a little bit about what the poem Rainbow Bridge is about and the thought pattern behind that and what does happen.
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:59.020
Tim Link: So through your studies, through your intuition, through your connectiveness with the animals, what's your thoughts on that whole matter?
00:19:59.060 --> 00:20:02.080
Tim Link: Will we be back with our animals that made their transition?
00:20:03.100 --> 00:20:19.080
Miki Jacobs: So at the time of that, all souls, of course animals and human beings, exited the physical body from the crown chakra at the top of the head and transitioned into the spirit world or the dimension of the spirit world.
00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:20.640
Miki Jacobs: Again, there are many names to it.
00:20:21.120 --> 00:20:22.760
Miki Jacobs: So all do that.
00:20:22.800 --> 00:20:29.820
Miki Jacobs: So yes, we very much exited the body, which is an important thing to adapt when we lose a pet.
00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:35.740
Miki Jacobs: That was important to know again, to believe or to open to the concept of the soul.
00:20:36.080 --> 00:20:40.340
Miki Jacobs: The soul within the body, which is once again part of God, is immortal.
00:20:40.860 --> 00:20:42.420
Miki Jacobs: It's multidimensional.
00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:43.440
Miki Jacobs: There is no death.
00:20:43.780 --> 00:20:48.760
Miki Jacobs: And when the physical body ceases to exist or die, then the soul exited the body and travel there.
00:20:49.400 --> 00:21:27.580
Miki Jacobs: The lovely team channeling that I got regarding the Rainbow Bridge is that it is an actual dimension within the spirit world, because the way I've been shown that the spirit world is divided into different dimensions or different levels, and we kind of enter into, human beings enter into the level that they belong to, in a way that where we are in our spiritual growth, animals enter into the dimension of animals and even within the dimension of animals, in the spirit world, it's divided into various soul groups.
00:21:28.320 --> 00:21:38.840
Miki Jacobs: But specifically the dimension of the Rainbow Bridge, it is indeed a place where pets and us, meaning once our soul exited the body, we do meet.
00:21:39.300 --> 00:21:47.940
Miki Jacobs: So I ask as to the nature of the actual poem, and the first person that came up with the poem actually was Channeling.
00:21:48.400 --> 00:22:00.940
Miki Jacobs: So they were tuning in to that place, so it is indeed a real place, which is why I also was teaching in the book the true deep meditation.
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:10.960
Miki Jacobs: We can train ourselves to, while here on planet Earth, to connect to a departed pet that resides within the Rainbow Bridge, as it's called.
00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:22.000
Miki Jacobs: So that was a really, really heartwarming channeling for me, one that I hold deep to my heart over the years when we lose animals.
00:22:22.340 --> 00:22:25.000
Miki Jacobs: But that's basically what's happened.
00:22:25.080 --> 00:22:33.480
Miki Jacobs: Also, a lot of people ask me if pets live planet Earth, if they're alone, if there's anyone meeting them.
00:22:33.900 --> 00:22:43.480
Miki Jacobs: There is absolutely a great amount of beautiful love by the Creator that love us all equally, of course.
00:22:43.500 --> 00:22:48.820
Miki Jacobs: Remember, we are a part of Him, so it's not not loving our finger.
00:22:48.840 --> 00:22:50.620
Miki Jacobs: The finger is part of our body.
00:22:51.080 --> 00:22:59.240
Miki Jacobs: So there is beautiful empathy as to the transitions of human being and animals.
00:22:59.580 --> 00:23:06.420
Miki Jacobs: We tend to be met by what I refer to in my first book, Our Team, which are spirit guides.
00:23:06.520 --> 00:23:09.480
Miki Jacobs: So they meet us once the soul exits the body.
00:23:09.780 --> 00:23:20.880
Miki Jacobs: And sometimes they kind of help us, because sometimes some souls can get disoriented when we exit the physical body, depending on the manner of death or if the transition is difficult.
00:23:21.020 --> 00:23:25.640
Miki Jacobs: So a spirit guide there to meet us, of course, departed loved one there to meet us.
00:23:26.120 --> 00:23:40.060
Miki Jacobs: But the interesting, beautiful concept is that animals have their own team of spirits that appear right when the soul exit, ready to exit the body, and those are the nature spirits.
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:46.340
Miki Jacobs: So nature spirits are the one that accompany the soul into the spirit world.
00:23:46.840 --> 00:24:03.320
Miki Jacobs: And specifically, Tim, when I wrote the heart-wrenching chapter about some of it about hunting or animals that are for food consumption and the way some farmers treat the animals.
00:24:03.560 --> 00:24:14.320
Miki Jacobs: So it was very important for me to share and the information that I gathered that there is a lot of beings that accompany the animals through their suffering.
00:24:14.500 --> 00:24:15.840
Miki Jacobs: There is no fear.
00:24:16.040 --> 00:24:17.560
Miki Jacobs: There is no suffering.
00:24:17.760 --> 00:24:24.600
Miki Jacobs: They help them to leave the physical body calmly and peacefully, and then go back home to God into the spirit world.
00:24:25.560 --> 00:24:26.260
Tim Link: That's perfect.
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:31.020
Tim Link: Yeah, I love that aspect of it, because once again, that's what I teach.
00:24:31.040 --> 00:24:32.920
Tim Link: That's what I resonate with as well.
00:24:33.580 --> 00:24:38.780
Tim Link: And I try to let people know that don't get bogged down by the terminologies.
00:24:39.080 --> 00:24:46.100
Tim Link: You mentioned words like the spiritual world and channeling and spirit guides to you and I.
00:24:46.120 --> 00:24:47.260
Tim Link: That's common talk.
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:49.120
Tim Link: We're familiar with that.
00:24:49.140 --> 00:24:52.760
Tim Link: We've been on these journeys, so we understand that.
00:24:52.780 --> 00:24:54.660
Tim Link: But don't get caught up in the terminology.
00:24:54.700 --> 00:25:14.240
Tim Link: Just like our animals, we are greeted by pure love, by those familiar energies that we knew, those heart connections that maybe the animals and ourselves didn't know in the physical world, but had a heart connection with another individual spirit, a guide that is familiar to us.
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:16.920
Tim Link: So, you know, you don't have to...
00:25:16.940 --> 00:25:21.560
Tim Link: If your dog never met grandpa in the physical world, that's okay.
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:29.380
Tim Link: Grandpa will still be there as part of one of the guides to take your animal through to the next...
00:25:29.540 --> 00:25:31.360
Tim Link: to the universal space of love.
00:25:31.760 --> 00:25:39.260
Miki Jacobs: I can resonate with that because specifically, it was important to bring up in the book not to be focused on names.
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:43.520
Miki Jacobs: I even use the phrase, you know, in the book, I call God a he.
00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:45.220
Miki Jacobs: Obviously, that's not a he.
00:25:45.560 --> 00:25:47.480
Miki Jacobs: So, yeah, so I'm glad you brought it up.
00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:52.960
Miki Jacobs: Very importantly, since spirituality have great simplicity, that's what beautiful about it.
00:25:53.340 --> 00:26:01.700
Miki Jacobs: Everything based on energy, everything based on love, everything based on inclusive and non-judgmental and kindness.
00:26:03.060 --> 00:26:05.740
Miki Jacobs: So, yeah, so that was important.
00:26:05.760 --> 00:26:06.600
Miki Jacobs: So thank you, Tim.
00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:08.040
Tim Link: Yeah, absolutely.
00:26:08.340 --> 00:26:22.860
Tim Link: Well, it's, as talking to clients, as I'm sure you have for many, many years, they want to know that, and it gives them great comfort to know that their animals as well as themselves will be greeted on the other side and taken care of on the other side.
00:26:23.220 --> 00:26:33.440
Tim Link: But it doesn't necessarily mean that if you and I share the same grandmother, your vision of grandma compared to my vision of grandma may be totally different.
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.580
Tim Link: But the energy of grandma is still the same.
00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:39.380
Tim Link: We know the love of grandma, so it will be the same.
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:42.840
Tim Link: So like you said, don't get caught up on names.
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.920
Tim Link: Don't get caught up on how grandma should look.
00:26:47.860 --> 00:26:51.260
Tim Link: Connect more with the fact that it is the same love.
00:26:51.280 --> 00:26:52.220
Tim Link: It's the same energy.
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.740
Tim Link: It's the same connection that you know and that your animals know as well.
00:26:57.020 --> 00:27:01.640
Tim Link: And also that heart connection if they've never met them, you know, in the physical form.
00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:11.760
Tim Link: So Miki, when everybody picks up a copy of the book, Sacred Wild, the spiritual world of animals, including pets, and its interconnectedness with Thars.
00:27:12.040 --> 00:27:17.580
Tim Link: When you wrote the book, and now that it's finished and it's out there, what do you hope people gain from it?
00:27:17.600 --> 00:27:24.640
Tim Link: Is there one takeaway or is there a theme that you're hoping that once they read it, they go, yeah, I got it?
00:27:25.020 --> 00:27:37.800
Miki Jacobs: Yeah, so I try to deliver spirituality in the book because spirituality would cause the reader to feel closer to the pet, to understand that their mission is so much deeper.
00:27:38.040 --> 00:27:40.080
Miki Jacobs: They help us to balance karma.
00:27:40.100 --> 00:27:42.040
Miki Jacobs: They help us to feel well.
00:27:42.320 --> 00:27:43.240
Miki Jacobs: They heal us.
00:27:43.780 --> 00:27:45.560
Miki Jacobs: Their energy heal us.
00:27:45.580 --> 00:27:50.020
Miki Jacobs: They're able to sense us and adjust themselves as to our mood, as to our well-being.
00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:55.040
Miki Jacobs: So also the fact that there is a soul within the body.
00:27:55.260 --> 00:27:57.420
Miki Jacobs: They're not just being, that walking around.
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:00.140
Miki Jacobs: I mean, they have red and broader perspective.
00:28:00.540 --> 00:28:06.300
Miki Jacobs: And again, the unbelievable, unbearable pain when we lose a pet.
00:28:06.580 --> 00:28:28.020
Miki Jacobs: So I'm hoping that would be helpful as to once they realize there is a soul, once they realize the soul exit and go to the spirit world, meaning believing in the spirit world, believing in life after death, therefore, then that would help at the time of grief before because eventually they will leave us and we'll all experience the grief over the loss.
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:36.220
Miki Jacobs: And also the fact that we also, once we die, we go to the same place and they will greet us back.
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:40.800
Miki Jacobs: So those are really the main thing that important.
00:28:40.820 --> 00:28:50.260
Miki Jacobs: I also try to include Tim as to why people don't believe in the soul, why people don't believe they're equal to us.
00:28:50.260 --> 00:28:58.920
Miki Jacobs: I wanted to emphasize that in order for people to perhaps recognize themselves in it and realize, you know what, I can see why I don't believe in that.
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:04.420
Miki Jacobs: Maybe it's the way I grew up, maybe my religion, maybe, you know, so maybe just my own opinion.
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:09.740
Miki Jacobs: So I brought that into perspective so people kind of can recognize themselves and therefore change.
00:29:10.560 --> 00:29:17.040
Miki Jacobs: But really the main thing is that there is no life without them.
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:26.720
Miki Jacobs: I mean, I'm hoping that people never will open to pet, will be open to pet by knowing how much benefit they give our life.
00:29:28.060 --> 00:29:32.120
Miki Jacobs: And certainly I'm hoping that the reader will grow spiritually.
00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:36.740
Miki Jacobs: That's why throughout the book I compare animals to people.
00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:40.040
Miki Jacobs: If I spoke about incarnation, I brought up the animal and people.
00:29:40.280 --> 00:29:42.680
Miki Jacobs: If I spoke about karma, I brought up both.
00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:45.500
Miki Jacobs: So I really wanted to...
00:29:46.320 --> 00:29:54.120
Miki Jacobs: I wanted the reader to be elevated, certainly first and foremost since it's a book about animals, elevate their perspective about animals.
00:29:54.460 --> 00:30:02.520
Miki Jacobs: But since they're reading spiritual concepts anyway, then I'm hoping that the spiritual knowledge will be expand as well.
00:30:03.380 --> 00:30:03.900
Tim Link: Absolutely.
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:05.820
Tim Link: Well, I think you did a wonderful job of that.
00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:11.460
Tim Link: I mean, the book definitely will help people along their own spiritual journey to answer those questions.
00:30:11.800 --> 00:30:19.540
Tim Link: And then you tie that in lovely with the animal world and how they're on this journey with us, and then what all happens afterwards.
00:30:19.560 --> 00:30:27.400
Tim Link: So I think it's a very well-structured book and will definitely help people along their spiritual journey and to help them better understand the animals around us.
00:30:27.740 --> 00:30:28.400
Miki Jacobs: Thank you.
00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:29.840
Miki Jacobs: Thank you so much, Tim.
00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:31.600
Miki Jacobs: I appreciate the feedback.
00:30:32.260 --> 00:30:37.940
Tim Link: Well, Miki, where can people find out more about you and what's going on and where you'll be, all those wonderful things.
00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:41.740
Miki Jacobs: So everything is on their website that I don't do.
00:30:41.780 --> 00:30:42.980
Miki Jacobs: My husband Clayton does.
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:45.440
Tim Link: Sounds like me.
00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:45.720
Miki Jacobs: Right?
00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:47.340
Miki Jacobs: I was just ready to say that, Tim.
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:50.660
Miki Jacobs: So yeah, so it's Miki.
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:54.640
Miki Jacobs: It's mikijacobs.com.
00:30:54.960 --> 00:31:06.700
Miki Jacobs: And everything's there, all the updates, all the interviews, of course, the link to social media that I actually post my own animals and kind of, you know, bits and pieces from the books.
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:11.720
Miki Jacobs: And some of the videos are fun with my beloved huge tortoise.
00:31:12.220 --> 00:31:15.220
Miki Jacobs: So basically all the information is there.
00:31:15.580 --> 00:31:16.200

00:31:30.740 --> 00:31:32.120
