Dear wildlife protector, and nature lover!

Can I interrupt for a moment? Can I appeal to your compassionate side of the brain? Can I draw your heart’s attention and tune into your empathic ability to FEEL this?

I’m asking since those who I ask it for cannot speak. I also have a busy life, and still I stopped to see what this is about – I’m in Europe, this cause is for American wolves. But when I saw the post on Dr. Mehal Rockefeller’s FB page, I stopped and gave it my support. But just making my own donation and nothing else was not an option for me. This article writes itself as I’m taking action that you could do also.
Yes, there are way too many problems unsolved, causes you can subscribe to, so I understand if you’re simply not interested. I still intend for this to reach beyond my own eyes and whoever resonates with this, will feel it, take action, and in doing so, create chance that decides about the destiny of these 50 wolves, still alive but under tremendous threat.

And while Dr. Rockefeller who is a Theoretical Quantum Physicist can teach you the scientific detail, my appeal is to you and what you can do right now to effect change. See more about his work and how you can “Create What You Want With Secret Power of Effortless Thinking.”

OK, about 35 wolves have already been killed, and so you hopefully see that your help is urgent! These misunderstood creatures need your compassion!

I spent these last days meditating on how much I love them, and how much they move me. I admire them intensely, their levels of organization in their packs is a true inspiration for great leadership, their communication is something that even inspired Robert Redford to spend some time studying their subject.

What I find adorable is the female’s nurturing care, and as a mom myself, I totally get the gist of what their sense of belonging is.

Here is a little something about the hormone that is responsible for the bonding, oxitocin. It is not just responsible for a mother’s ability to lactate, and feed a baby, it also influences your ability to have healthy relationships, and maintain boundaries that are allowing you to interact without letting others in too far into your space.

“The hormone best known for its role in inducing labor may influence our ability to bond with others, according to researchers at the University of California, San Francisco.

In a preliminary study, the hormone oxytocin was shown to be associated with the ability to maintain healthy interpersonal relationships and healthy psychological boundaries with other people. The study appears in the July issue of Psychiatry.

“This is one of the first looks into the biological basis for human attachment and bonding,” said Rebecca Turner, PhD, UCSF adjunct assistant professor of psychiatry and lead author of the study. “Our study indicates that oxytocin may be mediating emotional experiences in close relationships.”

The study builds upon previous knowledge of the important role oxytocin plays in the reproductive life of mammals. The hormone facilitates nest building and pup retrieval in rats, acceptance of offspring in sheep, and the formation of adult pair-bonds in prairie voles. In humans, oxytocin stimulates milk ejection during lactation, uterine contraction during birth, and is released during sexual orgasm in both men and women.

Turner and her colleagues tested the idea that oxytocin is released in response to intense emotional states in addition to physical cues. Twenty-six non-lactating women between the ages of 23 and 35 were asked to recall and re-experience a past relationship event that caused them to feel a positive emotion, such as love or infatuation, and a negative emotion, such as loss or abandonment. Because massage done on rats had previously been shown to influence oxytocin levels, the participants also received a 15-minute Swedish massage of the neck and shoulders. Blood samples were taken before, during, and after each of the three events to measure baseline oxytocin levels in the bloodstream and any change.

The results, on average, were of borderline significance – relaxation massage caused oxytocin levels to rise slightly and recollection of a negative emotion caused oxytocin levels to fall slightly. Recollection of a positive emotion, on average, had no effect.

What surprised the researchers, however, was how differently each woman responded. Some participants showed substantial increases and decreases while others were largely unaffected.

And while the close, cuddly bonding is my Yin energy, I also admire the wolf’s spirit of freedom.

It was first when I read the book “Women Who Run with the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estés that I learned one or the other thing about the female archetypes, and it profoundly changed how I saw myself, and what I wanted to see in me.

No worries, I won’t elaborate on how much and in what way. That would be a whole other subject, and this is not about me anyway.
Just read her book, it is worth every page you turn.

If you want to learn whether you suffer from compassion fatigue, which is a gradual lessening of compassion over time, due to trauma, I invite you to listen to the audio Dr. Laurie Nadel did on the EFT Hub – It’s now or never if you want to get lots of EFT content and how to go about finding solutions as Gary Williams is about to open doors to his Hub and you can get in for F.R.E.E.E.E.E.E

So, no I don’t know whether you suffer from compassion fatigue – I do not know you well enough.

I just do know that if this article and these beautiful creatures speak to you, if you can put yourself for a moment into their hunted paw prints, being hunted for your coat, killed just because you’re beautiful, misunderstood, because you defend your territory, or protective in loyalty to your breed… whatever gave wolves a bad name… can you blamed them for wanting their just place on earth? Should anyone be killed for having acted in the way nature made him?

Perhaps you are not moved by this, and tears I shed for them are of no concern to you. And I accept your choice, as all we can do is what we perceive is possible at our level of consciousness. However, if anything in you says “Let me help save these creatures” then take ACTION. I ask for urgency because these animals are not only under threat but a small group of 50 wolves are very close to being extinct and my heart is pounding with rage when I read this.

Before I was able to write this post, I had used EFT to calm my emotional response. I felt hunted myself and experienced the freeze response as I believed there was nothing I could do to save these creatures. Why would I feel hunted myself… well, as an empath that’s what I get a lot, an overload of emotions/feelings. It helps to just do a few rounds of tapping on “Even though I can’t help these animals right now, I still am a good person and deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself for feeling this pain in my empathic reaction to reading these sad things about what humans are capable of doing.”

This phrase is very specific. Are you specific in how you craft your set-up statements when you do the tapping?

I did the set up phrase although I was close to 10 in the intensity of my response – you are not obliged to do it when you are there. I did it in order to verbalize how I really felt, and what feelings I want to target, and aim at releasing.

I hope this information will help you if ever you feel triggered by sad events or emotionally challenging circumstances.

It helped me in less than a minute to feel calm, confident and empowered to write.

Are you now empowered to take action? If you do, donate generously and freely as it will open more abundance to you, in every way!

With gratitude for your generosity!
