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. |
