    The Bodega Cat Podcast with Special Guest Michael Lane

    In this episode we are talking to Michael Lane, Animal Communicator and Healer. He talks about how animals helped him through some of the darkest times in his life, how they literally saved his life, how they help him quit his drinking and other addictions permanently, and how they transformed his life to become an animal communicator. He also talks about his work with elephants in Thailand, the role of telepathy and spirituality in the current rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence), learning from our Atlantis ancestors, and the services he provides.   Guest Bio: Michael is an animal communicator and animal healer based in New Mexico. He grew up with dogs, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, and birds. Two of the most transformative periods in his life were both marked by animals. Michael's black cat Bandit, who he adopted in 1995, was his first cat, and not only opened his eyes to how amazing cats are, but also to how the friendship and love with an animal is no different and no less deep than that with another human. In 2013, Michael embarked on a month-long trip to Thailand to volunteer at a village that rescues elephants. The experiences he had with those special, highly-evolved animals led directly to a life rebirth that started him down the path that led to communicating with animals professionally. Michael is a professional, practicing animal communicator and healer. He is well-versed in EFT tapping and Scalar Wave energy healing, two effective modalities to support the health and well-being of our furry companions. In addition to animal communication and energy healing, he offers services to help find lost animals, support animals (and their humans) at the ends of the animals' lives, and he also teaches animal communication to people. Michael lives in Sandia Park, New Mexico with his wife Diahann and his family of cats: Butch, Sundance, Picasso, Lyle, and Yoda. Michael's goal is not only to help people with their immediate issues with their animals, but to help connect us all on a deeper level to our brother and sister animals. We're all in this together.
