“HU Brings Us Home”

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Shadow’s Gift 

I sometimes sing HU to the feral cat at the river where we feed jays and squirrels. Shadow, featured in the image above, loves attention as much as she loves the food people bring for her. I befriended Shadow more than ten years ago, when she was first abandoned, and fed her each morning while working at the water treatment plant adjacent to the park. Winters are especially difficult for Shadow. I grew to admire her survival skills and strength of will. She has been an inspirational teacher. 

Shadow provides a wonderful service—she allows people to love her. Some of those frequenting the river have no other avenue for giving and receiving love. 

A friend of ours named Sharon Sheppard is an animal communicator who works with animals on the spiritual level. (Please find her contact information below.) Once, while Oi and I were asking questions about JJ and Peaches, I happened to mention Shadow. To my surprise, a message came through from Shadow’s Higher Self. She thanked me for singing that special song to her over the years—HU. It made her feel warm and loved. 

Sharon related afterwards that all Souls recognize and respond to HU as a source of love and comfort, no matter what body form they inhabit. When I asked her for permission to include this message from Shadow in our book, The Golden Book of HU, Sharon told us more about the monumental role the HU can play in the lives of animals. 

“HU Brings Us Home” 

“Live above the words. Learn the HU as a bridge for Soul to go to the Light and Sound. The HU brings us home.” These gems of wisdom came through from Leo the Lion, Sharon’s cat, during his translation from this lifetime. He purred softly on the bed while Sharon’s husband, Pat, played the HU Song. As the recording ended, Leo the Lion made his transition peacefully. 

After speaking with Sharon, I understood more clearly why Oi and I had been called by the Inner Teacher to the pond where the bee was in the process of translating. The song of HU is the golden bridge upon which Soul finds Its way to the Light and Sound. Sharon also gave us permission to pass along the following examples of how HU enhances her work with animals. 

When Oi and I took a three-day mini vacation to celebrate our anniversary, a neighbor attended to our cats’ needs conscientiously. However, when we returned, JJ and Peaches were visibly upset that we had left them alone and let us know by their standoffish behavior. Other pet owners have reported similar experiences. Sharon offered a solution which evolved from a question she had asked the Inner Teacher: “How can I use divine creativity with the HU and the animals?” 

Surprisingly, she was told by the Inner Teacher to invite pets whose owners had left town, either on vacation or for business, to a “morning HU.” This invitation is also extended to animals with behavioral challenges. Roll is never taken during the morning HU, where the animals play, socialize, and connect with Divine Spirit. 

Sharon always asks permission from the owners before working with their pets. She informs the animals how many “lights and darks” their “parents” will be gone, who will be caring for them, and whether they will be staying with them or coming and going; if the latter, how often? Pets want to be assured that the person attending to them knows about food, treats, play time, and walks. Sharon answers all of their questions and tells the animals about the love song of HU. They especially enjoy meeting with other animals in the morning HU each day when their parents are gone. 

Parents report coming home to happy and welcoming pets. Sharon suggested another option—play the HU Song for your animals while you’re away. This dovetails with her second tip involving lost animals. 

Sharon related the story of a family who was moving to another state. Once they had arrived at their destination and were unloading, one of their two cats escaped from its carrier and disappeared from view. The owners called Sharon in a panic. 

She instructed them to place a recording of HU in the area where they had last seen their pet along with its litter box and a toy. At the same time, Sharon reached out inwardly and asked the cat’s Higher Self to listen for the sound of HU, then follow it back to safety. Within an hour, the cat emerged from the darkness and was reunited with the family. 

We were curious to know how Sharon presents the idea of inviting pets to a morning HU to their owners. She explained that she asks them if they would be willing to try a spiritual exercise which could help their pets while they are gone. Some owners are interested in learning more during their conversation, while others agree without questioning her further. 

When these owners return to happy, calm, well-behaved pets, they ask Sharon to tell them about the morning HU. She usually recommends a video called, “HU: Experience the Sound of Soul.” In this popular YouTube clip, the benefits of singing HU are enumerated in concert with the song.
