ANIMALCONNECTION AND COMMUNICATION QUICK TIP

If you and your animals work with me, especially performance animals I'm sure you have heard me talk about using acknowledgment as an instant energy shifter.

I started making acknowledgment of an animals experience an important part of the conversations in all my sessions a few years back. It was after a very interesting conversation with a barrel racing horse and trainer. The two had been in a warm up pen and the horse was giving some clear signs saying I'm done and the trainer was not having that sass and pushed on. Many of us have been there. The horse hit the brake point, had a melt down, and thankfully no one was hurt. When I came in to chat with the horse about what was up her biggest issue was that she was very uncomfortable in the situation and felt the rider wasn't acknowledging that. #lightbulb

As I started to begin all my conversations with an acknowledgment of where the animals were coming from I would feel immediate shifts in the energy of the animal. This shift was positive, opening, and made him/her more receptive to any information or positive training technique that followed.

So how does this help you?

Think of acknowledgment as and in-the-moment tool you canuse to shift the energy of the experience you are having with your animal companion. If your companion is losing focus in a training session, paying too much attention to other animals, etc. You can stop address whats up and say. " I see your attentions is focused over there, but I need you for x amount of min." "I see that is upsetting you making you anxious, (more to come about fear and anxiousness next month) I need you to know we are ok and tell him or her where to put her focus. don't make this more complicated than it needs to be, just a simple acknowledgement of what you see happening from the animals perspective.

ANIMAL CONNECTION & COMMUNICATION QUICK TIP

 I want to share with you about the importance of connecting and communicating with your animal companion on every level. This is a lesson my German Shepherd, Griffin taught me early on in my animal communication career. Before I started doing intuitive animal communication professionally, I had a business as a dog trainer. Before my first full on soul to soul exchange of information with Griffin (Shared in the first chapter of my book Beyond Companionship.) we were already deep in a connective and communicative relationship exchanging information on another level, human to dog.

While your dog, cat, horse, rat, bird, etc, has a soul and can connect, communicate and comprehend what you are saying on a deep soul level, s/he is still here to have an experience as a dog, cat, horse, rat, bird etc. As your companions custodian and caretaker during his or her time here it is important for you to maintain a healthy connection as human to horse, human to cat, etc, as well as the deeper soul to soul connection you get from working with an intuitive communicator like me.

How do you do this? Well if your getting my emails I'm going to assume we are connected you're well on your way soul to soul connection. As for the more 3D, real world human-animal companion connection you're likely already doing it by creating boundaries and connection via positive reinforcement training.


When working with clients I never negate the importance of connecting and communicating with your animal on instinctual human to animal level via positive reinforcement training.  Intuitive connection and communication is never a replacement for healthy boundaries, training and human to animal connection but rather and enhancement of its effectiveness that brings you in to deeper understanding and resonance with your animal(s).

ANIMAL CONNECTION & COMMUNICATION QUICK TIP

Listen to yourself. Seems simple, right? It's not. We are actually taught, conditioned to ignore the most important information we receive, our gut feelings, our intuition.

Your body is extremely intelligent. When you have emotions or thoughts even in your subconscious they will be reflected in your body. Whenever I have dis-ease in my body one of the first things I do is reference Louise Hay's book "You Can Heal Your Life."  She has an index that corresponds dis-ease in the body to the emotion or mental experience that congruently needs healing. For example, Gas Pains equate to "Gripping, fear, undigested ideas." A neat thing about her book is she gives you a new thought pattern to shift the energy and heal. For example the new thought pattern to support heal gas pains is, "I relax and let life flow through me with ease." Your body knows whats up and it constantly sending signals to you. Sometimes those mayday's show up as actual physical signs other times they are intuitions.

This months tip; tune in, listen close, trust yourself. I rarely tell people things in my communication sessions with their animals that they don't know. That's the way it should be anytime you work with an intuitive, on some level what is said should resonate with you. If you work with me you know I celebrate these moments. I try to never miss an opportunity to say, "hey, your doing this, your getting information, and using it, your on the right track and that's not a coincidence." because ultimately my goal is for you to start "tuning in" seeing, hearing and feeling your animal in such a way that you need me less, and less. 

Have a funny feeling you should change your dogs food? Trust it. Your horse giving you the stink eye because you changed up his bit?  You know what's up. Your cat's meowing at the wall and you think to yourself hmm...grandma must be checking in from the beyond. I bet she is! You tapped in in the divine, to the eternal knowing, and especially to beings closest to you so, tune in and trust yourself.

ANIMAL CONNECTION & COMMUNICATION QUICK TIP

Ever hear the saying change your thoughts, change your world? Well the same is true for your words! This months connection and communication tip is change your words, change your experience! That got an exclamation point because this is it people, you want deeper connection, competitive edge, these monthly simple little tid-bits I'm giving you are the cherry on top of your sundae. 

Changing your words requires you to be in a place of high-noticing when it comes to talking about your animal companion. Yes, I said talking about (not just to). Words have a powerful energy attached to them that can be tangibility felt. When you talk about your four-legged friends to you speak from a place of ownership or partnership?  Those two words ownership and partnership both describe your relationship with your animals but with a very different energetic expression or feeling. You are in a relationship with the animals in your life. The words you use to talk about that relationship as well as the words you use to speak to your animal companion are creating the experiences you share. Your words are either nurturing, building, and growing your relationship, or depriving it of becoming all it could be.
A great time to practice choosing your words wisely is when your animal friend is upsetting or embarrassing you. A first response to upset is often to complain about the situation, and your animals pitfalls, to whom ever is closest. These are the  moments to activate high-noticing, motor your words, and shift negative talk to a positive talk. One way to do this is by talking about the experience you want to create. Don't get stuck analyzing what is wrong, start analyzing what assets you and your animal companion have that can support your growth in the moment. That's what I call conscious companionship with animals!

Energy






               
When connecting and communicating with animals it is important to acknowledge that animals feel us before they see or hear us. This means before you walk through the door to greet your cat after a long day at work your cat can "feel" what energy you're bringing into the space. When you are tacking up your horse for your afternoon ridding lesson your horse has already intuiting, sensing, feeling, and receiving a "download" of intuitive information based on the energy you have brought with you into his/her stall. 


Like us animals are souls first, that means that like us they have a 6th sense that I like to call our soul sense. I think of it as our soul's sense because is not a sense we experience physically like our other 5 senses seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching. Your soul sense is where you exchange information with the world a non-snesory way (intuitively) and it is in this space where connecting and communicating with your animal friends begins.

Tap into your soul sense by becoming more consciously aware of what energy your giving your animal companions to connect and interact with. Bonus question for friends and clients with equine or canine athletes, what energy are you giving your teammate to work with?

ANIMAL CONNECTION & COMMUNICATION QUICK TIP

You and your animal friends are in communication every moment of every day. Lots of people  miss out on the messages flowing to them from there four-legged cohorts because they assume that communication = conversation. 

Intuitive communication is an exchange of information that happens outside of sensory perception and is not limited to conservation. Your animal friends are communicating with you via, feelings, words, visions, body language, thoughts, knowings and I can assure you these conversations rarely resembles dishing with the ladies over a cup of tea.

Adjust your expectations and open to the flow of information! Your furry & feathery companions with thank you.
