Spiritual Dogs and Soul Paths: Janine Lowe Talks with JJ Flowers
Episode Overview
- Dogs are presented as spiritual beings designed to walk alongside humans, offering unconditional love, healing and wisdom.
- JJ explains that our energy and chakras pair with our dogs, intensifying both positive emotions and, when unmanaged, stress or fear.
- Grief for a dog can feel as strong as grief for a person, yet JJ shares that animals experience death as a peaceful return to light.
- Reincarnation and soul paths are framed as dynamic, with animals and humans meeting again in different roles to learn more about love.
- Metta meditation is highlighted as a practical way to connect with the vibration of love and send it consciously to others.
“Every dog I’ve spoken to who has transitioned says that leaving this life is like dropping an old coat and stepping into the light.”
What remarkable journeys have people faced head-on against addiction? On Feng Shui Your Way, things take a wonderfully unexpected turn as host Janine Lowe sits down with award-winning novelist JJ Flowers to talk about dogs, spirituality and the kind of love that feels bigger than words. The chat starts with JJ’s unusual route into writing – from big historical romance novels to children’s stories and, eventually, to her new book *The Spiritual Dog: Emissaries of Unconditional Love and Healing*.
She jokes about being “ill-suited for real work”, but quickly shifts into deeper territory, explaining how personal loss and long-standing mystical experiences pushed her further into metaphysics and spiritual teaching. For anyone who’s ever loved a pet, this conversation lands straight in the chest. JJ explains how dogs’ extraordinary sense of smell shapes their whole experience of life, and why they’re “designed to walk with people through life”.
She talks about chakras in both humans and dogs, and how our energy fields link up when we cuddle or care for them, amplifying both joy and, sadly, stress. The episode also gently tackles grief. JJ shares that every dog she’s connected with after death describes passing as “like dropping an old coat and stepping into the light”, offering comfort to anyone who’s struggled with losing a beloved animal.
Spiritual themes thread through everything: reincarnation, soul contracts, the idea that each dog is perfectly matched to its human, and the reminder that love is a powerful energetic force. JJ even touches on metta meditation as a practical way to send more love into your life and the lives of others.
If you’re curious about spirituality, adore animals, or are carrying the quiet ache of losing a pet, this gentle, humorous and surprisingly grounding conversation might be just what you need today. How might your own relationship with animals look if you saw them as spiritual partners, not just pets?
