BEGIN THE CONVERSATION

Last year with my monthly newsletter column we talked connection and communication, you can see this information in previous posts titled Animal Communication Quick Tips. This years monthly column I'm making verbal communication or in-the-moment message sending the focus of the column. You can lean more about in-the-moment message sending in my book Beyond Companionship: Connecting with the Kindred Souls of Animal Companions.  These next 12 posts will be based on the Pause and Connect point found on page 37. 

BEGIN THE CONVERSATION

I have always said we do not give our animals enough credit for what they are able to understand and comprehend. When we we send a clear, focused message out loud (because out loud is much more affirming when we are beginners at communicating) the intention, energy, and meaning of the message is fully relieved by our animal companions.
If you work with me you know I believe animals have connection and communication preference and we should readily use those preferred ways to connect. However, animals can learn via all connection and communication avenues and making verbal communication i.e. in-the moment message sending a connection point in your relationships with animals you will have an animal who begins to not only better understand you but who will look to you as a source of information.

Messages can be as simple as I love you, or as complex as when under saddle you say to your horse when I nudge you here with my foot I need you to a.b.c....The trick to in-the-moment message sending is to do it. Because the more you give your horse information you are peeling the onion going deeper and deeper into connection, trust. 

This month your in-the-moment message home work is to simply begin the conversation. Start talking out loud to your animal companion giving him or her tid-bits of information here and there and she how he/she responds. In a short time your animal companion will begin to look to you for these messages and you can starting using the technique productively. 

Throughout the next 12 months I will be writing one speciific messages every month to help you enhance your relationship and verbal communication with your animal friends.

ANIMAL CONNECTION & COMMUNICATION QUICK TIP

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 COMMUNICATION DEMYSTIFIED

I am a firm believer that anyone yes, anyone even you can connect with animals in that Dr. Doolittle way. If you not sure who Dr. Doolitle is watch the original 1967 Doctor Dollitle Movie starting Rex Harrison an animal communicating veterinarian. It's a pretty epic montage of music, merriment, and animal talk. Back to you and me and our shared mutual ability with Dr. Doolittle to connect with all sentient beings. At this point you might be feeling some self-doubt wondering, could I really talk to the animals? In my experience those who don't believe animal communication is possible for them simply don't know how they themselves communicate intuitively.

Intuitive communication is an exchanging of information in a non-sensory way, meaning that you are not receiving the information in a tangible way via sight, sound, smell, taste, touch.  You are so used to receiving information through your tangible senses you often forget your non-sensory 1st sense, your intuition. Many call this their 6th sense however, I believe we are all souls first and intuition steams from that soul space within making it your first sense in my mind. Your first sense's lack of tangibility makes it very easy to dismiss, ignore, and intellectualize away information you are receiving intuitively. This is the space where animal communication happens so if you want to chat with the animals you will need to tune into your 1st sense and open to receiving intuitive communication.

When teaching others to connect and communicate with animals one thing that comes up frequently is this idea that communication has to equal conversation. Let me tell you right now this is NOT true. Students often believe they are not "doing it right" because intuitive communication does not look and feel like what they think it should i.e. conversation. I will admit that sometimes animals will pop in my head and our communication is like an inner monolog taking place in the magical corners of my mind, but hearing words is not my primary way of receiving intuitive communication, knowing is. I'm sure your saying, what the heck does that mean? Well, during a communication session with an animal when the owner asks me a question, the information pops in my head, BAM! instant download. I am well practiced and open to receiving intuitive communication and information that I need to know is just there.  I still receive information through all 4 channels of intuitive communication, BAM! instant download, just happens to be my primary way of receiving.

What are the 4 main channels of intuitive communication?

1. Feeling
Feeling the empaths will understand this mode of intuitive communication. This exchange of information in received by overwhelming feelings that are not yours. This is why when I teach animal combination I tell students to be aware of what they are feeling prior to intuitively communicating with another being. This way when they feel a feeling wash over you separate from your current state of feeling is, you know its coming from the animal.
2. Seeing
If you are a visual person it's very likely when you tap into intuitive communication you will receive intuitive information though pictures or mental imagery.
3. Hearing
This is the more traditional way people think of animal communication, a sharing of words. For me this is like an inner-mololouge, almost like I'm talking to myself but I know ask the questions being asked or know the answers I'm hearing. Remember you don't actually hear the words audibly this is a non-sensory exchange of information. 
4. Knowing
Have you ever just confidently known the answer with out a doubt, or had the answer pop up in your head before the question was even asked? Well then you have been receiving intuitive communication. Knowing is an overwhelming  feeling of knowing matter of fact.     


Each of us is continually sending and receiving intuitive communication with the people and animals around us. If you want to tap deeper into your ability to receive information via intuitive communication open to all 4 channels and allow the information to flow. Your intuition is like a muscle the more you work it the stronger it becomes and the more information you will be exchanging.
