If you are, you’re not alone. 

• Accurately send and receive telepathic messages.
• Interpret the animals’ messages. 
• Focus on the animal’s issues and problems.
• Clear up miscommunication and misunderstanding.
• Remain open and receptive without judgments, projections, or expectations.
• Empower animals by giving them a “voice,” so they can be better understood. 
• Provide feedback and insight from the animal’s perspective.
• Offer support, counseling, and guidance to animals and humans.
• Advocate for the animal as an equal partner in the human-animal relationship.

While an Animal Communicator doesn’t need to have a counseling background, I find it’s helpful to my clients and myself that I have a master’s degree in counseling. A crucial aspect of the Animal Communicator’s job is to take good care of the human during a session, especially since no one wants to feel judged. A counseling background gives the Animal Communicator essential tools that are needed to create a safe healing space for all involved.

The goal of an Animal Reiki treatment is to help animals through passive Reiki meditation.

• Hold a healing space of peace, love, and compassion using Reiki meditation.
• Not focus on the animal’s issues/problems or need to know about them.
• Not interpret animals’ messages.

It’s difficult for the animal and AR practitioner to go into the Reiki space if there is an expectation that the animal needs to do something other than relaxing. Plus, it’s impossible to carry on an active two-way conversation with the animal and their human while being in the passive state of meditation.

Norwegian Horse Using A Symbol Board

All animals, including horses, know how to communicate with humans using the universal language of telepathy. Unfortunately, the problem isn’t with the animals communicating their needs to humans, it’s whether the humans are listening to what animals have to say.

I love it when scientific research studies validate and prove animals want to be heard and understood much like humans do. Even so, I don’t need scientific proof to know that it makes animals happy when humans understand them at a spiritual level using telepathy.

It’s kind of silly to think that animals, including horses, aren’t able to communicate with humans unless they use human constructed symbols and methods. A prime example of this is a recent scientific study by Norwegian researchers who taught 23 horses how to use three symbol boards that told the researchers whether the horses wanted their blankets on, blankets off, or wanted no change.

Not surprisingly, all the horses in the study quickly learned what the three symbols boards meant and then gladly expressed their preferences.  However, these horses didn’t just learn to communicate with humans because Norwegian researchers came up with an experiment to prove a hypothesis.

According to the research study:

“When horses realized that they were able to communicate with the trainers, i.e. to signal their wishes regarding blanketing, many became very eager in the training or testing situation,” the researchers write. “Some even tried to attract the attention of the trainers prior to the test situation, by vocalizing and running towards the trainers, and follow their movements.”

My client, Izzy the horse is an excellent example of how being heard, understood, and validated can make a big difference in our animals’ lives as well as making them happy.

Izzy

Andrea initially contacted me to find out about Izzy’s past, given Izzy was having a hard time adjusting to her new life. It was essential to Andrea that she help Izzy become the best horse Izzy could be.

Once Andrea understood Izzy’s past, I asked her to let go of thinking about it. By focusing on Izzy’s history, Andrea unwittingly made Izzy relive her past trauma and pain. Instead, I encouraged Andrea to concentrate on visualizing Izzy in all her perfection and goodness as she moves forward.

Andrea took a vacation shortly after we first spoke with Izzy and reported the following changes in Izzy upon her return:

After your advice when we first talked, (about letting go of Izzy’s past), I told Izzy’s trainer, Hillary.  I’m glad she’s open to your advice as we’ve been working on visualizing Izzy being the horse we want her to be. It’s so wonderful to hear that it’s making a difference and that she feels that. 

Really great news about Izzy. In fact, since I’ve been back from my vacation, I have felt a huge shift in her and so has trainer. I’m thrilled to hear she feels more relaxed and balanced to you – very encouraging. She is getting to be the horse I knew was in there and it’s lovely to see her be so happy. I realize she is on a healing path. 

When you understand animals’ thoughts, feelings, and viewpoints, it’s easier to feel connected to the animals along with our compassionate self. And it helps animals be the best they can be.

Animals want and deserve to be heard and understood just like humans. The best way to do this is by rekindling your natural telepathic abilities so you can receive information directly from animals. If you need help, then reach out to a professional Animal Communicator like myself to help you interpret what is on your animal’s mind and in their hearts.

Your animal will thank you for listening.

Trees are grounded spiritual beings who hold ancient wisdom from observing the cycles of life. They are open-hearted enjoy helping others like birds, wildlife, and insects.

These wise teachers love sharing their knowledge and they can be quite poetic. A tree once told me Trees are the real poets of the world, not humans. The Tree mused it loves whispering into the ears of poets.

Besides cleaning the air we breathe, Trees provide many different beings shelter and food in their trunks and outspread branches. Their roots drink in the energy of Mother Nature which supports the canopy of branches and leaves.

A friend sent me this interesting video of a tree and its visitors throughout the course of a year. It’s enlightening and fascinating to see how important trees are to all species who depend on them, including humans.

As you can see, this tree has observed a lot in a year. Can you imagine what Giant Sequoia or Redwood Trees have witnessed in their lifetime?

For over 30 years, I’ve developed and honed my telepathic skills as an Animal Muse so I can easily and instantly translate what animals are thinking and feeling for humans. 

In other words, I speak fluent telepathy which helps me to better understand animals and other living beings in the web of life.

Thanks to my telepathic abilities, I’ve discovered a lot about the world around me by communicating telepathically with all species including insects. 

A great example of this happened a couple of weeks ago when my dog Bodhi discovered an unusual insect flying around our neighborhood that I had never seen before.

Is it a moth? Or is it a Hummingbird?

Bodhi first noticed the bug when it flew by his ear to consume nectar from my neighbor’s Salvia plant during our last walk of the evening right after dusk.

It was hard to get a good look at what was buzzing Bodhi given the lack of light. I saw it flying around the Salvia but had a hard time getting a clear look at it. From what I could tell, it appeared to be a moth-like creature but seemed too large to be a moth. To confuse me even further, it flew and acted like a hummingbird. Then, as quickly as this unfamiliar insect appeared, it disappeared into the darkness of night.

While the whole encounter intrigued me, I didn’t give the sighting a second thought until the next evening when Bodhi and I walked past my astilbe bush. I noticed quite a bit of activity going on. Despite the oncoming darkness, I saw three of these unfamiliar insects feeding on the plant.

This time I was able to get a better look as I had three of them to gently focus on. I enjoyed watching them fly and feed on the flowers. The move I focused my attention on them, the more I noticed how much they looked and moved like a hummingbird.

How could that be? I had never heard of a hummingbird feeding at night so I didn’t think it was an actual bird. It had to be a moth. Or was it?

When I want to know something about animals or insects, I ask them telepathically. I find asking the animal in their native language is sometimes the fastest and most reliable way to receive answers to my questions.

So I tuned into these fascinating creatures telepathically and asked them what they were. They playfully replied, “I’m a moth! No, I’m a hummingbird! We’re both!” They went on to repeat these words a couple more times for me.

I then thanked the three “Hummingbird Moths” for talking with me. Given it was now pitch black, Bodhi and I headed home.

Hummingbird Hawk-Moth feeding on an Astilbe flower.

As soon as we got inside, I immediately Googled “Hummingbird Moth.” To my surprise and delight, the search turned up the answer which came from the website www.butterfliesandmoths.org. This informative site confirmed what I received telepathically.

It turns out these flying insects were right when they told me that they were a Hummingbird Moth because that’s exactly what they are! They’re also known as Hummingbird Hawk-Moths. These unusual moths originate from Tomato Hornworms which are loathed by gardeners given their potential for destroying crops like tomatoes and tobacco. Yet once these destructive caterpillars morph, they turn into beautiful moths that look and fly like a hummingbird.

Hummingbird Hawkmoths are mostly nocturnal but can sometimes be seen during the day. They visit a large variety of night-blooming flowers which they pollinate while feeding with their long proboscises. According to the website, Butterflies and Moths.org:

The Sphingidae are strong fliers, with a rapid wingbeat. Most are medium to large moths, with heavy bodies; wingspread reaches 5 inches or more in some species. Although a few are active in the daytime, most species in the group are active at dusk. Most, but not all, sphingids feed much like hummingbirds, hovering in front of a flower and sipping nectar through the extended proboscis. The proboscis rolls up like a party noisemaker when not in use, and may not be readily evident in a resting moth. Some species lack scales on large portions of their wings, and therefore have transparent or clear wings. These are commonly referred to as “clearwing hummingbird moths.” (Note however that the scientifically accepted common name of “Hummingbird clearwing” refers specifically to Hemaris thysbe.) 

Since the Hummingbird Moth is most active at night, I wasn’t sure if I’d get a picture of this unique moth.  A couple of days later, after our morning walk, there was a Hummingbird Moth doing its thing on my astilbe.

For the first time, I got a close look at it. It was remarkable to watch it in action as it pollinated the astilbe. I have to say, it’s quite a striking moth to behold and incredibly beautiful to watch. I also found the hawkmoth fun to communicate with.

The next time you come across an animal or insect that you’re unfamiliar with, I encourage you to start up a telepathic conversation with them. Start with something simple like “Hello” and see what response you receive. If you “hear” a response, great! If don’t, don’t worry. It takes time, practice and patience to rekindle your telepathic abilities. I encourage to you keep trying and not give up on yourself.

It’s also always important to always thank animals, insects and even humans for their willingness to communicate with you telepathically even if you don’t feel you heard their reply. Keep trying because this is how to strengthen your relationship with other species as your develop your telepathic abilities.

Who knows what species is waiting for you to discover and communicate telepathically with. If you do, please leave your experiences here on my blog or on my Facebook page.
