What Animal Communicators Do
By

Many people are awakening
today to the idea that the animals who live with us are
more than child substitutes, more than "pets".
The term "pet" means an animal who lives with us
for our amusement or as our companion. All animals are, in
fact, sentience beings - conscious, intelligent, with life
purposes and life goals. They are aware of themselves and
of their situations. They make life choices. They often
express unconditional love for the humans who are part of
their families.
For most of my adult life I thought I was just pretending
that I could have conversations with animals. It was
something I did as a game or did without thinking. That
was because I was sufficiently programmed as a child to
reject idea that the communications I was experiencing
telepathically were "just your imagination, my
dear." After reading Animal Talk, by Penelope Smith,
I came to the startling realization that I had been
rejecting what my heart knew was true: I could communicate
with animals and they could communicate with me. It was
just a short jump from this insight to knowing that I
wanted to be a professional Animal Communicator, to help
others learn what I had learned.
In making this decision, I rejected the terms "pet
psychic" and "readings" because I wanted
people to understand that I am not reading the animal as
if s/he were a deck of tarot cards, but rather having an
intelligent conversation with another intelligent being.
This is an important concept: animals are sentient beings
with feelings. They are not toys to be played with and
discarded when inconvenient. They are not to be treated as
children or the elderly or the handicapped or the
comatose. They are alive and aware. They think. They feel.
They make choices. When they are born and for some length
of time which varies with species, they are like human
children, requiring additional care and nurturance. Then,
like human children, they grow up, albeit into a body
which may look small and cute, but which is adult. At this
point, they are capable of making decisions for their own
lives and should be treated with the same respect and
honor that you would give a human equal.
As a professional Animal Communicator, I am asked to speak
with the animals who live with other people to facilitate
many varied situations. While each situation may have
something in common with another situation, generalities
are often of less value than allowing individual
differences to come through. That is the virtue of being
able to speak with an animal - the needs and feelings of
that unique and special being can be heard, shared, and
responded to in an individual way.
Unfortunately, no telepathic communicator - no person - is
one hundred percent accurate all the time in any work.
Error can occur because the telepathic connection is weak;
because the human client has emotional and/or mental
blocks about the situation; because the animal is lying or
choosing not to communicate fully; because the meaning of
the communication does not fit easily into the backdrop of
information available to the human communicator; or
because the telepath simply misconstrues the meaning. Each
telepathic communicator brings her own emotional and
mental baggage to any session: belief systems,
expectations, past experiences and emotions. Being able to
drop this baggage and to be a clear channel is an
important part of the process of doing the work. The best
among us do this on a regular basis, but all telepaths, as
all other psychics, do filter the information somewhat
through their own perspectives on reality. It is part of
being human.
When I talk with a client, I am usually on the telephone
with the human and telepathically connected with the
animal. I work this way because my goals are:
1) To allow the human client to participate in the
conversation by hearing a description of what I am
experiencing as I experience it.
2) To have the human provide feedback, helping insure I'm
on the right track in understanding and translating what I
am receiving.
3) To help the human and the animal resolve the situation
so that both of them experience a win-win outcome.
Many situations can be easily resolved for the benefit of
both human and animal clients. The old adage of walking
100 miles in someone else's moccasins (or paws) is very
applicable here. The animal's perspective may be very
different from that of the human with whom the animal
lives. An important aspect of my work is to help each side
understand the other's perspective. Only with mutual
understanding can a win-win be created. Only with mutual
understanding can our Love for each other be complemented
with mutual recognition of our Self in the Other. This
leads to respect and admiration, and even greater Love.
This is what Animal Communication is all about.
