Could you describe your animal’s personality or tell me what sort of mood they are in? Most people say they could. If I asked you what they were thinking,feeling or asking for, not so many of you would be as confident. Believe it or not in order to communicate intuitively with your animal companions you are simply heightening your sensitivity from that initial “gut feeling” that often is referred to as intuition.

The concept of using our intuition is an age old one. At certain points in time it has been revered and honoured, and conversely at other points was punishable by death! Thankfully times are changing again. More and more people are realising that there is far more to animals that we have been led to believe and that we hold the key to tapping into their world in a very wonderful way.

The challenge is whether or not we allow ourselves to open our minds. We have to shift our old beliefs that block
us from allowing our skills to develop further. It’s not a case of if we can but whether we will we let ourselves.

One of the big barriers many of us encounter are the memories of Mr Ed, the talking horse or Dr Doolittle. To reassure you, NO of course animals don’t use human language, they have their own. They think in pictures, sounds, feelings including touch, taste, smell and emotions.

All living beings emit thought forms/waves in a continuous stream, whatever the species. These waves spread out around us like the ripples from a pebble thrown into a pond. Animals allow these ripples from other beings to permeate their bodies, they allow themselves to receive, it’s a natural instinct. How else do our dogs/cats know when we are coming home or to disappear just before a vets appointment? They receive our outgoing messages and translate them into a form they understand, just as we do when we become open to receiving, a universal translation occurs. (Read The Language of Miracles by Amelia Kinkade, the quantum physicists explain how this occurs in this wonderful book.)

We humans, however, have been conditioned to clutter our mind and bodies with all sorts of noise, constant mental analysis, mobile phones, computers and televisions. All this noise blocks our receptivity preventing
us from receiving the incoming signals. So when we block ourselves with limiting beliefs and make so much noise we can’t receive the incoming signals, it’s no wonder we don’t know what our animals are trying to communicate to us!

How can we change this and allow ourselves to receive as well as send? It is actually a VERY simple process, and yet it’s not always that easy…

1. We must quieten our mind and our external environment.
2. We must ground ourselves.
3. We must be willing to connect to a power greater than ourselves.

Once you have achieved this present state, connecting is far easier. Next, send them love and appreciation. Give them your complete focus. Ask them a question in your mind or out loud, they receive and translate both. Notice whatever you get, a picture, sounds, feelings or even a voice. If you do hear a voice it will be different from your own inner voices, you learn how to discern the difference.

Often the answer will turn up before you’ve finished asking the question. You must be willing to go with whatever comes up. Things to let go of with practice are: our analytical minds need to judge, give instant meaning, discount, ignore or distort the messages, to name but a few. Your skill comes in accepting whatever turns up, not labelling it and simply going with it, asking clarifying questions if you want more details.

Like any conversation, remember to thank them and also to act on information you are given. If your they show you pain in their left fore leg (perhaps your left arm hurts when you ask them) get the appropriate person to check it out. Taking responsibility here is crucial to the trust and respect you have with your animal friend.

Yes, sometimes we get in the way of ourselves. We may ignore messages, misinterpret them, get caught into solving the mystery with our analytical mind or telling ourselves we are just no good at this. It’s all part of the learning process and with practice you will discern the difference between authentic incoming messages and the other things your logical mind gets up to!

The rewards of practice? Here are just a few examples;

A horse was about to be sold because the lady was very afraid of her. By being listened to and acknowledged this mare changed her behaviour towards her person dramatically, on first seeing her following my connection with her the mare walked calmly up to her and placed her head on her chest and stood there in silence for a good few minutes. Their relationship changed dramatically from that point on.

Connecting with a dog that lives in France, via a photograph, this dog described to me his whole house in pictures and all the favourite places he liked to sleep. He showed me a rainbow and him lying in it. I asked the people what this was, they explained a new fire with a glass front throws rainbow light out each day the sun hits it, he loves to lie in the light!

A horse described to me in feelings and pictures exactly how their human needed to change their riding position to be in greater balance.

How would developing these skills change your relationships? What questions would you ask? What would this mean to you and your animal companions? Have a go; you’ll be amazed and delighted.
