Mochi is our Featured Animal Teacher (FAT) for August 2025

[Moderator]

Valerie has volunteered to host her Cat, Mochi, as our next Featured Animal Teacher (FAT) during August 2025. You will enjoy getting to know this wonderful animal teacher.

We encourage all of you to connect with Mochi now and throughout the month.

Tune into Mochi first and see what you sense. It’s not just about getting words although that’s a lot of fun when it happens. Remember that telepathic comes from ‘tele’ meaning over a distance like telephone and television, and ‘pathic’ that comes from pathos. So literally telepathic is emotion over a distance.

How does Mochi feel to you? Happy? Sad? Excited? etc. Ask Mochi ice breaker questions as you might with any new teacher. It’s not about “getting the right answer” but about connecting with a wonderful animal.

Gold and Platinum members will have an opportunity to connect with Mochi along with Val on the Q&A call August 9th. Check your time on a world clock for call time of 11:30am Eastern / 10:30am Central Texas. World Clock at https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter-classic.html) Call reminder emails will be emailed to you. Also, call information found in your course materials.

Reminder: Our call in August will be on the Zoom Platform. Look for your reminder email to find the link for the call. 

Have fun practicing your communication skills in this supportive setting! Lots of interesting discoveries happen here.

Hi Valerie,

I just tried an initial connection with Mochi. He felt like an older cat, but a younger soul. I couldn’t really sense whether the energybwas masculine or femenine, but got a slightly impatient ‘male’ when I voiced this to him.

I felt like he could be quite skittish at times, quick to pounce at something, but very laid back and chilled at other times. I saw him lie on his back and stretxh out, batting lazily at a hanging toy of some sort, like you would see on a cat tree.

I sensed that whilst he likes a fuss sometimes, he’s not much of a lap cat and likes his space.
I asked what he likes to do and got the word ‘explore’ and saw an image of him sitting on a windersill behind a curtain (I sensed this was upstairs)
I asked if he lived with other animals and kept getting the name Suki, and a sense of another cat.
I didn’t get a sense of him going outdoors at all.

I asked if he had a message for you and just got that he appreciates you.

I’m trying to record specifically what I see, sense and hear to see which of my clairs are more accurate, so your feedback will really help.

Thank you both for allowing us to learn from him.

[Valerie Binnie]

Melanie,

I am so, so sorry that I did not get your message. I was waiting to get notification. I was wondering why I wasn’t hearing from anyone. So, I just checked my computer and saw that you wrote in! Please forgive me for the delay!!

Yes, Mochi is an older cat! Actually, her birthday is today! She is 15 years old.

She is an impatient female! Sometimes she pounces, but most of the time she is “chilled”

She does have a toy that she can bat at on a cat tree. When she first got it, she played with it; not so much now.

When I am praying on the recliner, she will sit on my lap until I am finished.

There is only one floor here, but our previous house was 2 stories. Maybe she was reminiscing?

There are no other animals living with us. We do, occasionally, get another cat who comes around. They do not see each other. No “Suki” though. Sorry.

You are correct that she doesn’t go outdoors. I have tried but she will not stay out long. She will immediately run to the door.

I am grateful that Mochi appreciates me!

Thank you for having a beautiful conversation with her.

[Melanie Appleyard]

Thanks Valerie.

I appreciate the feedback. I’m looking forward to connecting with Mochi further. I wanted to get an initial sense of her first.

For some reason, I always struggle to identify the sex of the animals I communicate with.

It’s interesting where the name Suki came from, as I tried to ignore it at first, but heard it a few times. Looking at the overall feedback though, it seems my clairaudience was the least accurate, which gives me something to work on.

Thank you.

[Valerie Binnie]

You are welcome!

You are doing great! I still struggle with quieting my mind. I’m truly amazed at what you can do if you quiet your mind.

As far as the name Suki, about 3-4 years ago there was a woman named Suki that came over here to visit with my mom. My mother doesn’t live here any longer, so I haven’t spoken to Suki. Maybe you were going much further into your clairaudience than you think.

Keep it up!!

[Melanie Appleyard]

Thanks Valerie

[Valerie Binnie]

You’re welcome, Melanie!

Give Mochi my Love!

[Valerie Binnie]

Martha,

I forgot that you had mentioned the vomiting while on the call. Yes, she has vomited a few times, not a lot and sometimes nothing, but just heaving.

It’s interesting that Mochi has a potty mouth. That’s one thing that I can’t and do not want to hear!!

She is very much a lady. I love that about her.

She is definitely a sun worshipper. I wonder with all that hair how she can stand to be in the sun at all.

I wonder what is upsetting her tummy, you seem to mention that a few times.

I will try to rub her eyes. She normally doesn’t want me to be near her eyes, so I don’t do it.

She is territorial, but if people come over, she runs and hides until they are gone.

I do not really know the significance of all the colors. I wish I did. The colors that you mentioned are all wonderful colors.

You are right that she does not like her paws being touched. But she is finally (in the last few months) allowing me to gently touch them and on occasion even hold her paw for a few seconds. They are so soft!

It is nice to know that she has all the Clairs. Now I know it is ME that has the problems with my Clairs.

That is interesting about the voice you got for her. I always wondered what she would sound like.

When I would sing in the house (I’m not a great singer!) she would come running and be with me. I always thought that she thought I was screeching, so I would stop, and she would go away. I never thought that she likes singing. So, thank you for that!

Thank you for the Brook Glass Pet Fountain. I will look into it and ask Mochi if she would like to have it.

Thank you, also, for all the helpful insights to my Mochi!!

[Valerie Binnie]

Martha,

I hope you get this. I bought the Brook Pet Fountain. It is so cool! It took a while to determine if Mochi would like it or not. I just went ahead and got it. I did the same thing with the Litter Robot. I tried everything to get her to love it…it was a no go after 30 days of trying. Had to return it.

But the Brook Pet Fountain, we have had for a week now. She seems to like it. I’ve noticed considerable changes in her coat and body. She seems to drink more water too! I think I should put those tiny, plastic fishes in there, so she has something to look at. LOL

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, so far so good. I always worry about her not getting enough water.

Have a great day,
Valerie

[Martha Breeding]

Hi Valerie,
I’m delighted Mochi is enjoying the Brook fountain I mentioned to you! I sensed she would:-)
A Healthier coat and body is awesome! The fountain might help her kidneys as well.
Thank you for sharing with me about Mochi and the fountain!
Give her my Love 🙂

[Valerie Binnie]

Martha,

I do hope it helps with her kidneys. She has a vet appointment in two months, so we’ll see if there are good changes to her kidneys.

I started out with the flow at low level, but after a week I bumped it up to medium. She did not like that at all! So, by the end of the day, I put it back to low flow and she is happier with that.

Valerie

[Elizabeth Burton]

Hi Valerie! Here’s what I got from the call today:

Mochi was initially distracted by all the people trying to communicate with her, so she didn’t say hello initially. I observed her for awhile. She seems a little reserved but confident, an older cat but not an older soul. I got that she was definitely on the younger side where that is concerned. I saw orange around her (which often indicates creativity and the ability to experience pleasure), and her aura takes up a room, but only when she wants it to.

She felt warm (i.e. normal) and her balance seemed normal. I felt that she had a pulsing energy, which I think was connected to the tail and spinal issues you mentioned on the call.

When we finally communicated, she showed me she liked to be touched on her head, but again, only when she wants to be petted. I saw her licking her lips like she’d just eaten something good. She said she loves fish and eating.

Her favorite thing is to groom “my pretty coat” and to be brushed. When I asked about her voice, I got a definite image of a female jazz singer, deep and melodic.

When I asked if she had a message for you, she said, “Relax; don’t worry so much.”

I then asked if she had a message for me. She said, “Chill out and lean into gratitude.” I literally got chills over my body with that one because leaning into gratitude is something I’ve been focusing on.

She’s an angel in animal form, and she wanted to make sure I knew she had a superb sense of humor! I thanked her and said I’d communicate again, at this point.

Thanks for providing Mochi for us to talk to!

Elizabeth

Elizabeth,

I can see why Mochi would be distracted initially. We live a quiet life here. This was all brand new to her and to me. Thank you for giving her time to warm up. I think she loved it! It is the vibrational touches that she loves the most.

She does love me petting her on the head.

She is on a kidney diet, and it was with fish, but for a good five months she has only been on chicken. Maybe I should switch her over to fish again. She does love eating every 2 hours if she gets her way!

Last week I took her to the groomers, not to bathe her, but to remove her mats, especially on her belly. Since then, she loves me to comb and brush her.

She doesn’t groom herself much because of her arthritis.

I tend to worry about everything, even things that are not even real. I think my whole life has been on “worry-mode”. So, relaxing will be a challenge for me, but I will try. Thank you for that input!!

Wow, my Mochi being a real teacher…I love it! “Chill out and lean into gratitude.”

I am just realizing that Mochi is an angel. I saw her one day and took a picture of her little angel wings. If I can figure out how to post it, I will.

Thank you for talking with Mochi, it really made an impression on her and me!

Valerie

Hi Valerie,

I reconnected with Mochi on the call today. When I initially checked in I felt her surprise and slight overwhelm at so many people connecting at once, but she soon settled. This time I picked up that she has been here lots of times. I got the colour yellow with her and a very soft coat.
When I scanned her I felt a lightness in my heart area and an intensity in my 3rd eye. I also felt a fluttering energy in my right arm, which would correspond to her front right leg.
I sensed a feeling of excitement about the call and her rolling on her back thinking ‘this is fun.’ She felt happy. I also picked up that she likes to eat.
I felt a life force energy of around 8/10 and a slight numbness in and around my right eye.
I picked up that she likes a firm stroke, but also likes her space.
I got that she was here to teach you – slow down, enjoy life and live life on your terms.

[Valerie Binnie]

Melanie,

Thank you so much for reconnecting with Mochi again!

You are very intuitive and far beyond my expertise. I do not know about auras and colors yet, but hopefully in time I will. Maybe you could explain a few things to me:

-What did you mean that she has been here lots of times?
-Is there something I should notice in her front, right leg?

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

I do feel that she was happy with the call. I even asked her, afterwards, if she enjoyed it and she gave me her “air kisses” and was laying down contented while I was hovering over her.

Yes, she does like to eat. When she wants food, almost every two hours, she will come find me and stick her tongue out a few times to say, “Food!”

I will check her right eye. I have recently been concerned about her possibly losing her eyesight. So far, I know she can see.

Sometimes I use firm strokes, and she seems to like it, but most of the time it is the soft strokes that gets her purring. She does like her space!

Thank you for telling me to slow down, enjoy life, and live it on my own terms. She is such a smart cat!

Thank you, Melanie, for connecting with Mochi again. It has truly been our honor!

Valerie and Mochi

[Alana Bartels]

Hi Valerie,

Thank you so much for offering Mochi as the Featured Animal Teacher! Such a lovely beautiful soul! This is what I picked up from Mochi during the Q&A call. I tried to write down as much as I could. I’m not very good at doing a fast connection. lol Anyway, Mochi slowly weary walked up to me. I picked up that she is on the shy/timid side. I felt that she was like overwhelmed. I immediately asked her what’s wrong and she said that she wasn’t used to a big crowd of people trying to connect with her. I told her that I was so sorry that she felt that way and asked her how can I help and I also offered to wait and connect with her another time as well. She said thank you so much for your empathic, compassionated offer and for actually thinking of me as no one else offered that, no else was thinking of me, they were in a rush to connect with me instead of trying to help me to feel more relaxed and not feel so overwhelmed so let this be a good learning experience for everyone while she winked(this was her words not mine). After a couple of minutes of feeling each other calming, peaceful, loving energy, she said that she was ready. I picked up that she is an strong elderly cat age wise then I picked up that she is an old soul as well. I picked up that you guys were together in 6 lifetimes. I picked up an green/blue colors aura which was I felt was 2” off of her. I felt that the green/blue aura combined meaning is both a healer & messenger and empathic sensitivity. So she may be both an emotional healer(green) and an intuitive communicator(blue). That she can sense when you needs comfort and instinctively send healing energy to you. Then that she is very sensitive to the energies in her environment so she may need calm, peaceful spaces to feel her best is what I picked up for the colors meaning. I felt from her a warm temperature. A little off balance but otherwise good. I felt that Meridians are flowing freely thru her body. I felt like all of her chakras were good. I felt that the heart chakra was her strongest chakra. I then started feeling a burning sensation in my throat and my upper chest area and felt pain on my left side of my head as well. I also picked up tension in my lower back like around my hips area. I picked up that she uses all clairs but Clairaudience is her favorite communication method. I felt that she has a soft, hairy coat. I picked up that she would rather be touched on her own term and that she rather be touched along her neck and back. I picked up that napping is her favorite thing to do. I asked her if she had an message for you. She said oh gosh yes I do have a message for my mom. She needs to please slow down and stop worrying so much. Just be and enjoy life. I asked her if she had an message for me. She said yes dear I sure do have a message for you as well. She told me that I needed to release all expectations and just go with the flow. Everything will happen in divine timing. Her message definitely ???? resonated with me.. Again, thank you for the opportunity to connect with her! Lots of love to both you and Mochi! ????

Much Love & Light,
Alana

[Valerie Binnie]

Alana,

I can believe that Mochi was shy/timid/overwhelmed. Being in big crowds comes too far and few. Even when they do come, she runs and hides until they are gone.

I am flabbergasted at Mochi’s wisdom and intelligence! For her to say, “Thank you so much…be a good learning experience for those that read this post when you post it.” That says a lot about her.

Wow! We’ve been together in 6 lifetimes! That is amazing. Also, thank you for letting me know what a green/blue aura means. I’ve always known she was a healer. I did not know about her being a messenger. I kind of guessed she has empathic sensitivity, I just didn’t know what it was called.

Yes, she is warm most of the time, that’s why I do not understand why she loves to sunbathe. I’m glad for the most part that she is good with her meridians and chakras. It’s interesting that you should say that her heart chakra is her strongest, because I was diagnosed with AFIB last year. This year Mochi was diagnosed with a heart problem. I felt very strongly that her heart problem was really my heart problem. I keep telling her not to do that, although I appreciated the thought.

I’m not sure about the throat and upper chest or the left side of the head. But I will watch her carefully for any signs that might suggest she is seeking help.

Her lower back is where her spine is fusing together and causing her some pain.

Good to know that she likes clairaudience. I still haven’t gotten my clairs up and working yet. So now I know our communication problems are on my side.

Yes, her coat is soft and very hairy.

Correct on where she likes to be touched…her neck and back. I’d say her neck is her favorite.

She is constantly napping. And I am constantly waking her to give her love. hahaha

She really must think I am either doing too much or moving too fast! She seems to be telling people that of me. So, I slowed down today. I hope that made her happy. As far as the worrying, that is going to take some time. Being a mother and now 8X Nana, it’s hard not to worry! But I will try.

I didn’t realize until today what a wonderful, intelligent, and kind sentient being I am living with. I always thought she was a spoiled diva…but I’m coming to understand that she is really a princess who just put up with me for all these years. Now I need to treat her the way I expect to be treated.

Thank you so very much for communicating with my dear Mochi and for teaching me a few things too!

Peace and Love be to you, Alana,
Valerie and Mochi

[Natalie Shannon]

Hi Valerie,

Here are my notes from the call – some of it is a little out there but I will write as I received it!

Mochi was very eager/impatient to talk and said ‘I know you’ to me. So I feel somehow some time some place we have known each other before.

She had a very playful and fun energy. An upbeat personality – she said I can’t take everything so seriously, it’s all a reflection of my state of mind.

Curiosity is essential.

Don’t judge yourself.

She says she does a lot of intergalactic travel, and I saw as clear as if I was there, clearer than I have seen nearly anything, a black sky and so many bright and beautiful stars.

Her aura looked purple with silver sparkles. I feel she has a young soul on this planet but a huge connection to all things.

I felt she can stalk but doesn’t kill and she seemed very confident to me.

Her right ear felt hotter than the rest of her body and she likes being scratched under her chin. She likes a soft brush but nothing hard.

She has a huge aura, the left paw felt a bit stiff, and I felt perhaps she has caught this in a door at some point in the past.
Her tummy felt very unsettled and I feel something is going on here.
Wei chi was a bit patchy in places.
I felt clairvoyance was her preferred method to communicate.
She was feeling a little bit overwhelmed with everyone communicating.
She likes to relax in her sunny spot and watch butterflies.
I felt her role was a messenger and activator.

She says let it go – anything you don’t want to be. Let it go! Focus on what you do want- it’s the only thing you need to do.

She says thank you for treating her like a princess and that you should relax. And that she loves you!

Wow, what an experience it was connecting with Mochi! Thank you so much. I will definitely connect again. I am intrigued where we may have known each other before! Would love to send some healing too ????

Thank you again, Valerie and Mochi!

[Valerie Binnie]

Hi Natalie,

Quite interesting that Mochi knew you!!

You are not the first to let me know that she does intergalactic travels. I think that is fascinating! I wish I could go on some of her travels with her. Alana said that she picked up that we have been together in 6 lifetimes, cool, right?

I think you are right about her stalking but not killing. I’ve seen her do that several times. She will just put her paw on it and then act as if nothing is going on.

I just checked Mochi, and her right ear is warmer than her left. Great Job!

She does like being scratched under her chin. And she does prefer a soft bristle brush to anything else.

I checked her paws but did not feel any stiffness…that doesn’t mean that she didn’t get her paw caught somewhere, sometime without me knowing it.

You know, I think something is going on with her tummy too. She has vomited a few times, so…something must be going on.

I’ve never heard of Wei Chi before today, so I do not know what that is or does.

Yes, she was overwhelmed by so many communicating with her. That was not her normal everyday thing her on this Earth. But I know she loved it and had a great time knowing that humans out there hear her. I’m still struggling to hear her.

Yes, she does like to lie in her spot at the sliding glass door and watch the happenings: birds, butterflies, and insects.

Wow! A messenger and activator. With all the talk about activation going around, I hope she is somehow helping me to activate.

Thank you for her beautiful and kind words for me. I love her too! I really do not know what/where I would be without her.

I am so happy that you had a great connection with Mochi. Please do share when you find out where you two may have known each other before.

Thank you for sending healing…we both need and appreciate it!

Lots of Love,
Valerie and Mochi

[Tatiana August]

Hi Valerie,

I connected with Mochi last month, but I connected with her again on the Zoom call. It was a little challenging for me to focus on what I was receiving, as I am used to having a very quiet atmosphere. But I did get a few things that I figured I would share!

Like some others mentioned, I did feel a bit of overwhelm coming from her, and I even felt some hesitation at first, but then she said she felt better and more comfortable.

For age, I was getting in the middle, and I know she is a senior. So, I think she was sharing that she doesn’t feel old, but doesn’t necessarily feel young, so somewhere in the middle.

The first color impressions I got were purple, blue, yellow, and green. I got that she felt on the warmer side. For her aura, I got that it was expanding about 2 feet out. For her chakras, her root chakra seemed a little ungrounded, and I was also drawn to her solar plexus, which felt a little blocked or weak. For meridians, I felt that there was some stagnation in flow in her front legs.

I did get the sense that she wanted to lick up something that looked white in color. Maybe she was thirsty at the moment? For life force energy, the numbers that came to mind were 75-82%. I got that she likes being touched along her back and enjoys chin scratches. She also said she likes looking out the window. And her job/purpose falls under being a teacher and healer.

[Valerie Binnie]

Hi Tatiana,

Yes, she grew into her role as a teacher beautifully.

Mochi must feel the way I feel…outside is old but inside is younger; so “middle” sums it up.

I need to look into the colors more because purple, blue, yellow, and green are coming up quite a bit for her.

I will check on her root and solar plexus chakras. Thanks.

I always thought it was her back legs. But it makes more sense because she can jump up but is timid coming down. I will have her front legs checked. Thanks.

Mochi does sit by her water dishes. One is basically white inside; it is a ceramic bowl. She is always lying next to it wanting to get water.

Yes, she likes being touched along her back and her chin scratched.

She does like looking out the sliding glass door. She can’t get to the windows. But from afar, she can see the hummingbirds through the window.

She has proven to me now that she is a good teacher. Maybe, she has been a healer for me all these years.

Thank you, Tatiana, for reconnecting with Mochi and having a great conversation with her!

[Tatiana August]

Thank you for your feedback! She is such a sweet, wise soul!

[Valerie Binnie]

Thank you, Tatiana!

[Laurie DeLucia]

Hi Valerie!
Thank you for letting us connect with your special Mochi 🙂
I connected with her at the q & A session but would like to communicate with her again prior to posting. I just wanted to mention that sitting next to the water dish is often a sign that your kitty might be dehydrated and need some extra help with that, so it might be worth checking in with the vet and providing her with lots of access to water and maybe some extra in her food. I don’t know if it’s allowed to post that but I kept feeling pulled to do so.

• This reply was modified 3 months, 4 weeks ago by Laurie DeLucia.

[Valerie Binnie]

Hello Laurie,

Thank you for connecting with Mochi at the Q & A Session. I look forward to hearing what she has to say.

When Mochi started sitting by her water dish a few months ago. I did call the Vet and she said the same thing as you did. Then she also said to change the dish. I did that several times until she chose the ceramic dish! But now she is back to the stainless steel dish. Lots of times when I see her there I will check the dish to see if it is scummy or has hair in it. Most of the time it looks pretty clean, but I wash them anyway and give her fresh, filtered water. She normally will drink, but still sits by her water dishes.

I’m thinking about getting a flowing water dish to add to the others. Maybe she will like that. Martha mentioned the Brook Pet Water Dish. It looks pretty neat. I keep asking Mochi if she would like it, but I get no reply. I even showed it to her. So, if you connect with her again, ask her if that is something she would like. I would so appreciate that! Thanks.

I, also, have tried adding some water to her food. She eats wet Kidney Care food and watering it down more just makes her not want to eat it. Sometimes I will add a teaspoon or less of water.

Thank you for your advice and concern, it really warms my heart! Looking forward to hearing more from you.

[Rosemary M]

Hello Valerie! Here is what I picked up from Mochi – I hope some of it resonates!
She is highly intelligent. She has strong opinions. She is confident but very measured in how she approaches things and people. She is highly organised and has her way of doing things.
She showed me a dark red colour – possibly in the living room.
She shows me she is getting older.
Health: I got that she is a little off balance – perhaps weaker on the left side. She has perhaps a stomach sensitivity – it doesn’t seem completely happy. Her back left hip is problematic.
This is strange: Cheese and mustard sandwiches – does that mean anything to you?
hearing is her go to sense and prowls around the house, using her hearing to track things. She likes to chase – I think birds.
Her role is to keep an eye on the house – protecting people and the environment.
A message for you: Talk to mom and tell her not to be silly. Also: Get on with it energy coming here – not sure if that’s her personality or a message for you.
Another message: Take work in your stride – don’t hurry. If you hurry you miss things.

Thank you for this conversation and offering Mochi,
Rosemary

[Valerie Binnie]

Rosemary,

I think she is very intelligent too!

Yes, I used to call her my Diva, because it was her way or no way. HaHaHa.

I’m not sure about the confident so much, but she is very measured!

She is a creature of habit and she likes it that way. I like to change things up and she doesn’t like that at all!

There are a few reds in my house but the one she would be always near is the Tagine that is right in front of her water dishes in the kitchen.

Yes, she is getting older and slowing down.

I will definitely have a look on her left side. I do think she must have a stomach problem, just have to figure out what it is. Her diet is fixed so, as far as I know…she isn’t eating anything strange.

Yes her back hip area is having problems. The Vet and I are looking into what we can do to help her.

HAHAHA—Cheese and mustard sandwiches! I love those! I have not had one in a very long time, maybe I will make one now!!!

In her youth she loved to “chat” at the birds. Now, I occasionally turn on a cat video for her and she watches the birds on TV. She will sometimes try to figure out how to get at them. It is too funny!

She does pace around the house looking here and there, so I can see her being some sort of guardian.

I wonder what she meant by me not being too silly. I’m not really a silly person, but I guess I can be at times.

Those were curious words…Get on with it energy coming here. To me, those are powerful words, but what exactly!

Yes, I do try to hurry a lot when I’m working on something; and I do miss things. I’m trying to slow down.

Thank you so much, Rosemary, for connecting with Mochi. I am truly curious about her messages for me. Food for thought or preparation…not sure!

Great job!
Valerie and Mochi

[Rosemary M]

Hello Valerie,
Thank you so much for your feedback.
I know what she means by silly but it’s hard to explain – she sees it as silly. I think what she means is paying attention to things that don’t really matter, allowing yourself to be distracted by needless worries, wasting time on stuff that is really just prevaricating – it’s connected to the “get on with it” energy.
I hope this helps,
R 🙂

Rosemary,

Thank you so much for clarifying “silly” for me!

[Nita Mukherjee]

Hi Valerie, thank you for allowing us to connect with Mochi, and sorry for this delay in posting. I haven’t looked at the earlier readings, and out of practice, so I hope some of this resonates with you.

She came forward with her tail flipping (for want of a better word) and almost beckoning me to talk to her, with a wondering look. She walks briskly, and has high energy. She has a brisk walk, and carries herself with grace and dignity. She purrs in a determined way, is confident and holds her own.

I see her among tall green grass, and some yellow flowers, like buttercups.

Her aura is fairly big, and a lot of orange around the back. Her temperature is medium, and chakras fairly balanced. However, the meridians near the hip seem to be a bit blocked. Is there an issue with a front leg?

She is a wise, old soul, and her message to you is to relax.

Thanks again, and love and blessings to both of you.

[Valerie Binnie]

Hello Nita,

I’m glad you were able to talk to Mochi!

The “tail flipping” is a new thing for her. I just noticed it a few weeks ago. Good catch!

I don’t know about “high” energy, but maybe in her spirit she feels like that. Whenever I look at her from across the room, she gets up pretty quick and comes to me.

I do have green grass and sometimes it is tall. But I do not have buttercups. I do, however, have yellow ice plant flowers. She does not like to go outside, and the ice plants are no longer in bloom.

You are correct on her hip area. I’m not sure if massaging is going to help, but that is what I am trying for now.

I’ve seen her limp a few times in recent days on her front left leg. But it seems to go away as I sit there and watch her. It is like she doesn’t want me to pick up on it.

Thank you for the message to relax. It is something I am working on.

Thank you, again, for talking with Mochi!

Much love,
Valerie and Mochi

[Nita Mukherjee]

Hi Valerie, thanks very much for your prompt feedback. Glad I got a couple of things right! I wasn’t aware of yellow ice plant flowers!

I hope her physical issues are resolved soon.

Thanks again and love to both of you.

[Valerie Binnie]

Hello Nita,

You are so welcome! I enjoyed all of the input and kindness that everyone has shared.

I do hope her physical issues get much better soon too!

Lots of Love,
Valerie

[Nita Mukherjee]

Thanks Valerie! Much love and blessings for your girl to be 100% well soon!

Hi

Apologies for sending my communion to you so late.

I do not read other members’ comments before posting mine. Hope something resonates with you

Thank you for allowing me to talk to Mochi. A lovely, quiet, no-nonsense type of girl who knows he own mind.

Mochi, eyes narrowed as though assessing my motives and intentions, walked majestically with a commanding attitude toward me, before seating herself beside me. I gently put my arm across her back, brushing her luxurious fur with my fingertips.

Mochi enjoys sitting by the window, gazing out into the world – a leisurely pastime. Occasionally her tail will flip back and forth if something of interest has caught her eye.

Asking if there’s anything she would like to share with me today. Mochi said.

I liked being the Animal of the Month. Each person is different; some are worried, but each must remember this and believe in themselves. Everyone has doubts, feels unsure and insecure. Remember, we give you what you need at that time. Communication is a skill. You need to enjoy it too.

Life is to short. Don’t worry too much. Life is for living, joy. Chill out. Take it easy, be like me. I enjoy sitting by the window, watching and observing the world. You may not see what I see but you can if you look into yourself. What you want or want to be is waiting for you. Yes, you have doubts, as that is human nature. Do we (animals) have doubts – no. Our lives are lived in a straight line and what is laid out before us. You impose restrictions. You travel where the wind takes you, till finally you realize what your path is in the physical world

You go from here to there, being late in all directions, when truly there is only one direction for your true calling. You humans need to experience the burdens you put on yourself.

Everything is simple. You do not make it so. Lessons to be learned, for sure. You need to stop and ask where you are going. What is it you need to do to become the person you have always been but are no more? Look to yourself for the answers and act on them.

It is for everyone to realize and remember. I will follow and guide you

I thank Mochi for her wise words and would pass them on to her mum, Valerie.

Mochi stands up, stretches her limbs, and arches her back. As her body relaxes, she lets out a big yawn before curling herself into a ball, head resting on her body. One eye, barely open, watches me. Feel I am invading her space, an intruder.

Shown warm wet food on a small white plate. The food smells warm with whispers of heat rising. A hand holding the plate places it down beside Mochi, who doesn’t move. It is though she knows the food will be there for some time, so not eager but leisurely waiting til she is ready to consume the food on her terms.

I stroke her head lightly, and Mochi moves her body to a more comfortable position. The soft sounds of a piano and orchestra playing a lullaby fill the air

Piano is regarded as a symbol of social status and cultural standing

Thanked Mochi, for allowing me to communicate with her and her wise yet timely, appropriate words.

Mochi wanted to be wrapped in a bubble of love. A myriad of pale bright colours shown for protection and love were pink, yellow, blue, magenta plus orange.

Thank you for allowing me to connect with Mochi and, of course, to Mochi herself, to spend time with her, to receive a message that resonated with me and perhaps others

[Valerie Binnie]

Sandy,

Please do not apologize, there is really no time frame to talk with our friends that are not human. Actually, please forgive me for being tardy in answering you. I do appreciate when people communicate with Mochi at any time!

Even though Mochi has a cat-tree by the front window, she can’t get up there. But her favorite “window” is the sliding glass door where she can see out and sunbathe at the same time.

It is true, while she is relaxing and something catches her eyes…her tail will flip back and forth.

I’m glad that she liked being the Animal of the Month. I found it quite interesting that you got the statement, “Remember, we give you what you need at that time….” The word “we” makes me wonder if there is much more to her and her kind.

The 3 paragraphs where she talks about life, directions, and simplicity: it all resonated with me! Thank you.

She loves to yawn after a big stretch. When I see her do that I say, “Good girl, big yawn!”

She does get her wet food on a white salad plate with my hand.

We do not have a piano here any longer, but when I find a soothing melody on my phone, I will put it down for her to hear. Recently, I heard a version of the Ave Maria played in an orchestra, oh…it was so beautiful! Before I put it down for Mochi, she came over and sat listening to it until it stopped, then she walked away.

Thank you so much for communicating with Mochi and passing on her sage wisdom.

Hi Valerie!

Would you mind if I post my communication with Mochi in September? You gave me such a wonderful and lovely response to my previous message – Thank you! I intended to reconnect with her sooner but I needed to step away from AC to work on some inner healing and mindset to help overcome a huge block that made connecting near impossible. I’m doing much better now and would still love the opportunity to connect with your sweetie again.

Thank you!

[Valerie Binnie]

Hi Laurie,

No problem at all! Talk to Mochi whenever it is convenient for the both of you! I’m glad you are making some headway on your inner healing and mindset. I need to do that too. I just keep getting inundated with “things” that “need” to be done. And September is the worst month for me! Too many birthdays! LOL

By the way, if you haven’t heard, I went ahead and bought the Pet Fountain that I spoke about. So, you do not need to ask Mochi if she wants it or not. HaHaHa

Be prepared, you might get an earful from Mochi. She is experiencing some “new” things.

You are most welcome,
Valerie

[Laurie DeLucia]

Thank you so much for your kindness and support. Inner healing is an ongoing endeavor. But, it’s amazing how easily ‘ things’ get in the way, isn’t it! Hopefully, your September is amazing. I look forward to visiting with sweet Mocha. Thank you again!

[Laurie DeLucia]

Hi Valerie! Thank you so much for your patience and kindness while I worked through my connection difficulties. I combined the information I received from the q & a practice and private sessions. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!

Initial impression
Excited to meet everyone, friendly, interested in the meeting, super friendly, soft fur, likes attention and excited to meet everyone in the meeting. Although she presented as friendly and happy to interact, she also seemed to have a hesitance based on a healthy skepticism or discernment, like she will observe and determine intentions inside of hearts and actions. This also goes with anything new: food, bed, toy etc. She needs the time to investigate and make up her own mind and feelings about things. Smart lady! At our second session, she showed sniffing hands/fingers around being petted. Again, I felt this was not only about interacting but about investigating and using discernment.

She’s a wise old soul but still young at heart. I feel so much wisdom from her!

Immediately, she showed me what I thought was a catnip filled toy – a square pillow. She also shows me that she loves her bed as she stretches out and tells me how she feels refreshed after sleeping. She shows me her belly. As we connect more, I feel she is mellow, friendly, happy, smart with a good perspective: she does not get too worked up about things., confident, outgoing and playful.

Mochi showed me the catnip toy and her playing with it by gently batting it around. She showed me a catnip filled pillow/ catnip during multiple connections. I think she is requesting catnip and to have gentle play. She requested more catnip! It seemed that she does not get as much of it as she did previously and she wants you to know she still enjoys it even though she’s older now.
I saw purple, greens and blues. Her fur felt cool with a warm small body beneath, her toes felt cool. Her spirit/aura is HUGE, so much bigger than her body.

I sensed her energy might be stagnant or caught up near her back in the shoulder area and that she has a slight near or void in her Wei-Chi near where her front leg meets her side on the left side.

On body scan I felt that her hind legs are achy and stiff with the right leg not bending as easily as if stiffer and being more straight as a result. She showed me it being dipped in warm water as if the warmth helps it feel better. Also, moving around/walking helps ease the aches and loosen things up.

She shares that she’s getting older but feels fine overall. “I’m slowing down, enjoying quieter times, relaxing, sleeping, enjoying simple things and am not as crazy as I used to be. Now she’s more relaxed, mellow, and is enjoying this pace. She tells me that any discomfort she has is like background noise, it’s distant.

Mochi showed herself drinking from the fountain and shared that she likes it although she is not a big drinker but that she is drinking more and that it feels good to drink a lot of cool water. She said that more water (being hydrated) might help her move around. She requested cool water in a tall drinking glass and more crunchy treats.

I asked Mochi what she likes and she immediately raised her chin up to show me that she loves to have her neck/under chin rubbed. She also showed herself batting the catnip pillow. Sleep, sleep, sleep and then a good stretch, and love/ affection. She also showed me what looked like tuna or chicken.

I thanked Mochi for the opportunity to connect, grow, and learn by practicing on her. She responded that she’s taught and helped a lot of people learn AC and that she really enjoys doing it. We both agreed that the world needs more people who are good at AC. According to her, “most can do it but some may not ever be able. If their hearts are closed, it is impossible.”
She shared some tips with me: Just open your heart, it’s not hard. No overthinking, just open it and feel love and communicate. It’s really that simple. I got a strong feeling that we mess everything up by over-complicating it.

I asked if there is anything you can do to make her life better. Love me.

I asked her about some of her favorite memories. She responded that she has no favorites by enjoys ever day but that she used to love to play. I saw her spin as she went after a toy. I saw her looking up at you and meowing and putting her paw up and it seemed she was requesting a treat. I also saw her looking quite round in the head and body at one time. I also saw her looking at you to let you know what she wants and felt that she was always good at letting you know her wants/ needs. I also heard a small meow, amost a squeak, as part of this. I saw her want to touch noses as she purrs. She is a lovely, lovely girl and soul!

I thought I heard something like Snickerdoodle and thought it might be a nickname for her.

Mochi wants you to know that you are amazing and take such good care of her. She LOVES You! She shares that you look out for her and she looks out for you. “I keep an eye out for any bad energies and I scare them away.” Mochi also wants you to know that you are so very special and you NEED to know just how special you are. You are connected by love.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to connect with this beautiful and amazing soul. It was an honor. <3

Laurie,

First, please forgive me for being so late on replying to you!! I am truly so sorry!! September is a very busy month for me! I have many grandchildren’s birthdays to celebrate. I just finished the last so I can focus on your most welcomed chat with Mochi.

Mochi seems to be friendliest with AC than with people physically. She always runs away from people.

She does have soft fur.

It is true that she has a healthy skepticism about people, but she does with everything else too! Her new bed, her new cat tree, litter-robot, and pet fountain to name a few. She determines whether it is a keeper or not.

Thank you for saying that she is a wise, old soul. I think so too!

As far as catnip, I do have maybe one or two catnip toys (small, rectangular), but she has no interest in them. When I was trying out the Litter-Robot, I tried catnip and that caused her to stay away from it even more. But if she is requesting catnip…maybe I will try it again.

Two weeks ago, I was concerned about Mochi limping on her front leg. The vet took x-rays and found that she is riddled with arthritis. It is in her back spine area, her front elbow and paw area, and both back leg knee areas. That is when the excitement came to try and treat her! (Another story for another time)

You got the stiffness right in your body scan in her back hind legs.

Yes, she is enjoying the pet fountain. I am not though! It is such a chore to clean every 3 days and Mochi WILL let me know that it needs to be cleaned! I do not know about the tall drinking glass. She normally doesn’t like her whiskers touching the sides of any dish.

Oh, she loves her crunchy treats!!

She loves having her chin scratched.

She does love to stretch out after a good, long nap and then give a great big yawn.

She has been more loving and affectionate lately.

Her meals consist of mainly chicken. Occasionally I give her tuna and that is a real treat for her.

Her wisdom of closed hearts not being able to do AC, hit me to the core! I know my AC journey has been stifled and it is me who is the problem, I know it. Now I know why…my heart is closed. It has to be. I’ve tried everything else! But how do you open a heart that never knew it was closed?

Oh, I do love Mochi in my own way. I find everything that will please her and keep her healthy without harming her.

She has often times put her paw up at me, maybe not so much for treats but for attention and chin scratches.

She is good at letting me know her wants and needs.

When I read you saying that she gave a “squeak”, that is so funny because I heard the same thing from her. It was kind of cute.

No, I’ve never called her Snickerdoodle. I have called her Moonbeam for a nickname or just MoMo.

I am so grateful that you got that Mochi loves me and that we are connected by love. That means the world to me.

Thank you, Laurie, for conversing with Mochi and relaying her wonderful messages to me and to all who will hear.

Peace and Love,
Valerie and Mochi

[Laurie DeLucia]

Thank you so much for your thorough and kind response! You warned me in advance that this month would be busy for you, I appreciate you taking time to respond.

Your Mochi is very wise. Her comment about opening up and communicating and opened/closed hearts really hit me, too! It makes so much sense and it felt like it would be so easy as she explained it to me. I think Val’s heart meditations will help.

Thank you again for let us communicate with your beautiful girl and for your kind and encouraging feedback. <3
