General Communication Questions
Sometimes I have dreams, or experiences where
I know I’m learning something from the future. Then I look back at the time
it happens and remember I’ve seen or heard this before. Sometimes it
involves my animals. What is this?
That is known as precognition. You might want
to start writing down what you get -- whether in dreams or in lucid (waking
moments), as well as when working with animals. Writing it down helps
acknowledge it and make it real, which builds confidence in your abilities.
Typically, the more you acknowledge what you're getting, in whatever form
and for whatever reason, the more information you will receive over time and
the more detailed (and usually clearer) it will be. Acknowledging what you
receive, and asking for and being open to receiving more, is, I believe, the
key to all of this. Always ask for some sort of divine guidance and
protection while you're doing this work. Telepathy opens you up to all
sorts of energies and entities, not all of whom are benevolent. I say a
special prayer and have a ritual I go through before I start a session. You
can call on your Higher Self, your guardians, guides and angels; the animal,
its Higher Self, its guardians, guides and angels; any other benevolent
beings who wish to assist with the communication; St. Francis (patron saint
of animals), God or whatever you consider the ultimate One/the Source,
really any being you feel comfortable with to assist you with the session.
None of this is strictly necessary, of course, but it clears my head and
heart for the work I'm about to do. You can always just meditate first, or
whatever you need to do to get your mind and heart cleared out so you enter
the communication from a calm, peaceful, loving place within yourself.
I also ask that my ego be set aside and that
the right and perfect words be given to me to convey between the animal and
person. And then I just trust and accept what comes through, even if it
makes absolutely no sense to me (it almost always does to the person, but
sometimes not for a period of time). I take my work very seriously; personal
integrity is important to me. I put myself out on a limb every time I do a
session, not knowing if the human client is going to believe the messages or
not because sometimes they're pretty far out there. I write them down
anyway, just as I receive them. Most, if not all, of my clients who may
have doubted or negated a piece of information end up coming back later and
saying yes, they understand the message(s), that something now makes sense,
or they remember something they didn't when I first presented them with the
information, etc.
I’ve noticed that some of the medical
issues my animal is experiencing are similar to some of the medical problems
I’m dealing with. Is this a coincidence, or . .. ? Animals can
"mirror" their human's issues by "taking on" (absorbing, if you will) some
of the pain, anxiety, illness etc. to assist their humans with dealing with
the burden of the illness, stress, etc. This is not always the case; the
animal can have its own health issues or anxiety, stress, etc. which have
nothing to do with its person. However, If the animal is absorbing
energy which is not theirs, I question the animal about why it is doing
this. We all have our lessons to learn. For an animal to take on our
physical, mental or emotional state can mean suffering for the animal, and
loss of all or part of the lesson for us, however minor or major the
issue/challenge and lesson.
Why do you ask whether the dog or cat has been
spayed/neutered?
It lets me know whether there's an inherent reason the animal
may be unruly, cranky, aggressive, etc. -- whether male or female, hormones
can wreak havoc on their attitudes and personalities. And hormones are no
more under their control than they are ours (think PMS for instance). So
it’s unrealistic to expect an animal to address a behavior issue if in fact
it's hormone driven, which can often be ascertained after talking to them
about it.
What is Channeled Writing, and how does it
work? I wasn’t taught
this mode of writing. It came from being told to journal at various times
during my life by a therapist, or a metaphysical teacher, or a spiritual
advisor, or . . . I finally accepted (and BOY, did I kick and scream for
many many years about doing it) that putting it on paper made it real, and
that’s why I didn’t want to do it . . . and that was exactly the reason I
needed to do it! I started with the simple “hello” to an animal and waited
to see what came back. Sometimes it was a color, or a word, or a feeling.
Then it progressed to asking a question, and waiting to see what came back.
Sometimes it was a still picture, like a snapshot, in my mind. As time went
on, those snapshots became moving pictures (like a short clip of film). Now
I can usually see a 360-degree view of what the animal is seeing within that
picture I’m seeing. That is, I can see the animal itself, and what it is
seeing in a circle around it, and I also receive what I call aerial photos
-- like being above the scene, looking down and around. I started
writing down what I received because teachers kept telling me to. They all
said that trusting was the hardest part of all this, and writing it would
help solidify the experience. Very true. I’ve always been a
stream-of-consciousness writer (much to the chagrin of friends and family,
as I can be quite long-winded!), so shifting that form of writing over to
what I received from animals wasn’t the hard part. What was hard was
recognizing that I had a picture in my mind that came from the animal. I was
so aware of the emotional or physical feeling I was receiving, or the words
I was hearing, that I didn’t even notice the pictures. So when I’d do a
session (when I first started), I would write what I heard and felt and
sensed (a "knowing") but would forget to describe the pictures. I didn’t
realize I was seeing them, but I was definitely receiving information from
them. It finally clicked that the transcripts were incomplete in some
respects because the client would ask me questions that I knew had been
answered through the information I received – but I didn’t realize that I
was leaving out little details. When I started asking myself where the
details were and why I wasn’t conveying them, I realized I’d been seeing the
pictures almost like through a fog or shaded lens. I hadn’t been “looking”
directly at them in my mind. To make this sound really strange (not sure
how else to convey this), it would be like a miniature me standing in my
mind’s eye, looking outward at a photo or scene or movie. But instead of
that little me looking straight ahead, her face was tilted down. I could
sense and see the picture but not in full color or clearly. [did that make
ANY sense at all? LOL]
It was a progression but also a way I’ve
always written. As I started stringing the pieces together (first the
knowing, then the emotional feeling, then eventually the hearing and seeing
and physical sensations), the words began to flow. So now I write what I
hear, and each animal’s voice sounds different. They each have their own
distinct soul energy/vibration that translates for me into a voice sound –
just like with people, each sounds different in tone, depth, pitch, speed –
and I describe that to the person as well. Throughout the session I’ll
describe the pictures I’m seeing or convey the emotion behind the words I’m
hearing. Sometimes I get a holographic picture of the animal’s body and will
“know” information, or “see” problem areas in their body, which the client
either confirms after the session or it is later confirmed by a vet. I do
my best to write everything down that is coming through to me from the five
senses (sight, hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling), but those five levels
(plus the intuitive “knowing”) are all coming from within my sixth
sense/intuition/Third Eye, not from the outer world. When I started doing
sessions, I wrote all of this out longhand – boy, THAT was a pain. But it
was necessary. And I’d heard that some communicators felt it was not good to
type on a computer during a session because the energy from the computer
would interfere with the integrity of the messages. After I got tired of
having my hand hurt for hours after a session, I decided that if I wanted to
add energy to that thought, then that’s what I would get. So I sat down,
took a deep breath, asked for guidance, held the intent that everything
would be just fine . . . and it was. I’ve been typing the transcripts
during the session ever since. That way I don’t have to try to remember
anything afterwards; it all gets written down. And the client has a very
detailed written record about my conversation with their animal companion.
To sum it up, I can now connect with each of the senses (within my sixth
sense/Third Eye) and write about it. Each communicator has their own unique
way of doing this work. My style works for some people, doesn’t for others,
and that’s as it should be.
What do you think are the benefits of
interspecies telepathic communication? The benefits are unlimited! Here
are a few which immediately come to mind:
* It enhances and deepens the relationship between the human and the
animal.
* It can be extremely helpful with rescued animals who have a history
of abuse, mistreatment, neglect, etc. by learning about that history and
understanding the resulting emotions and behaviors which the animal exhibits
(such as fear, anger, over-submissiveness, excessive barking,
destructiveness, aggressiveness toward other animals about food and other
matters, etc.).
* It opens the door for people to learn other ways of assisting their
animal companions in being happy and healthy.
* It can be extremely helpful when the animal has a serious medical illness
or injury (we can obtain information regarding where the pain is located,
what it feels like, what caused it, what might be helpful/feel good in
treating it, etc.).
* Often people find it comforting to speak with their animal through a
communication session when death is near, or prior to the animal being
euthanized, to be sure they will know when the animal is ready to leave its
body, whether it wants assistance in doing so, if there are any other steps
they can take to assist their animal to be comfortable until the end, etc.
* It can be miraculous in helping to resolve issues between animal
companions in the same household, get to the root of problems such as a cat
peeing outside the litterbox, a dog chewing on inappropriate items or
reacting with severe anxiety or fear to thunderstorms, etc.
* It makes the communicator a better person, putting them more deeply
in touch with the compassionate, loving side of themselves with each session
they conduct, which further enhances their ability to connect with and
assist their human clients.
Do you know of any other career possibilities, besides animal
communicator, which are related to interspecies telepathic communication?
I would say any of the positions which involve working with animals in a
loving, supportive manner involve some form of telepathic communication,
even though most of those workers would probably deny that (if their belief
system does not allow for that possibility). For example, those who care for
and work with and/or train zoo and entertainment animals oftentimes learn to
understand their animals very well, relying on much more than behaviors and
actions to “read” what the animal is feeling, needing and wanting and to
determine what is required to assist them in learning the skill being asked
of them.
It’s very possible and quite probable that animal massage therapists, animal
chiropractors and acupuncturists, and trainers are relying on various forms
of telepathic communication (it may be as simple as a sense of “knowing”
something about the animal but not understanding why), but do not recognize
it or acknowledge it. Telepathic communication would be immensely helpful in
any of those professions or others which involve working with animals in any
way. This is also definitely the case when working with abused, abandoned,
neglected and injured animals which have been rescued and will be fostered
and then, if possible, found permanent homes. It helps to understand their
history in order to tailor the care and training they receive and the home
they are placed in.
I would be surprised if I were to learn that only a few people exposed to
animals on a daily basis understand them on a more psychic level. I often
hear people say things like, “I think my dog Sweetie is feeling depressed
because his dog companion just died”, or “Missy seems very worried about
something”, and after talking with the animal this is indeed the case. While
those may seem obvious to some people, it’s not always obvious to others or
even considered (as they may not believe animals have souls, emotions, the
ability to make rational choices, etc.). As an example, I recently was asked
by a woman to communicate with her dog because she seemed depressed. The
woman fosters dogs and had just placed a foster dog that had been with her
for about six weeks into a perfect home. Her dog had been moping, not
eating, and had been very quiet for several days. When I spoke with her I
explained the situation, why the other dog was gone and where he went, that
this would happen from time to time as the woman fostered dogs, explained to
her dog that she had an important job to do by being like a big sister to
these foster dogs and helping them adjust to life in a good home (a practice
run, if you will, by being in the foster home), and that she would be able
to visit him from time to time with her person to see that he was doing fine
in his new home. The next day she was a completely different dog, back to
running, playing, eating and interacting with those in her home. This was a
simple case; oftentimes they are much more complex, but each situation and
issue is as important as the next. The animals love to know they’ve been
heard, and their changed behavior proves time and again that they hear us as
well.
As an aside, there are those people in settings such as shelters which
euthanize stray animals who often have to numb out to their feelings in
order to be able to do their jobs. This is not to say they all are
insensitive people; for some it is necessary for their mental health, for
others, it does not appear to bother them at all. Not all people are
enlightened about or believe in the sensitivity and soulfulness of non-human
species, which precludes them from connecting with animals in a meaningful
way.
