131. Dr. Laurie Moore

Animal Communication, Oneness, and Awakening

Dr. Laurie Moore is an LMFT, hypnotherapist, intuitive human and animal reader, and longtime teacher whose work bridges psychotherapy, spirituality, and animal communication. In this conversation, she and Rick explore how animals can help us drop from the mind into the heart, where separation softens and a deeper kind of knowing becomes available.

They talk about oneness, identity, surrender, solitude, and the role of difficult emotions in awakening. Laurie describes how animals, especially her feline teacher Jessie Justin Joy, helped her trust the reality of what her heart was already perceiving, and how love can be a living intelligence rather than just a concept. The interview also touches on healing, trauma, body awareness, and the question of when practical medicine and spiritual practice belong together.

Laurie’s perspective is both playful and uncompromising: grace cannot be forced, but sincere longing and wholehearted attention can open the way. Toward the end, she invites listeners to ask what they are actually experiencing now, and to give themselves fully to that.
