The focus of my consultations is creating interactive, mutually respectful conversations with animals and their people versus one-way “psychic readings” of an animal’s energy. A good psychic reading is like getting a clear, detailed picture. While such a picture can provide helpful information and clues for people about their animals, they are static pictures, not dynamic. Unfortunately, they are also often filled with assumptions and the readers’ personal interpretations about what the psychic picture means. Traditional psychic readings also often include direct advice or imposed solutions about what the recipient “must do,” based on their personal experiences or opinions.
An interactive, empathic approach, on the other hand, is one in which the consultant not only receives messages and information that may be part of a traditional psychic reading, but facilitates a process to help the animal and their person further understand, clarify and use the information exchanged in a meaningful and or practical way. In this method, the values, needs, desires, and issues of both the animal and the person (whether the person is oneself or a client) are solicited, respected and intentionally part of the conversation. If relevant resources are shared, it is done so as a suggestion, not imposed as a universal truth. This overall approach of a telepathic conversation is philosophically and by design fundamentally different from a one way “psychic reading.”
From a chakra perspective, a psychic reading from the third eye or sixth chakra can provide valuable information. But until the fifth chakra of the throat, our communication center, is engaged to use that information in a meaningful dialog with the animal and the person, the information is just information which may or may not be used constructively or for any meaningful purpose. When we receive the results of a medical test, we don’t just want the numbers or the static images of a scan, we want to know what they mean and what we can do about them. And, if we are conscious, we don’t want someone else’s interpretation of them forced down our throat. We want help interpreting them for ourselves, and we want and deserve support as we consider our options of what to do with the information, not have someone dictate or declare to us what we should do. It is the same with animal communication.
Furthermore, even when there is detailed, accurate information gleaned from the third eye chakra in animal communication, even when there is open, clear communication from an engaged throat chakra, we must also always do this work with an open heart. Information alone can be misused or useless if the heart, with its compassion and love, is not the foundation of our communication with animals.
Telepathic animal communication is not about performing parlor tricks to prove something, or to force behavior with animals. Though it can be ethically and effectively used to discuss negotiate behavior change, it is not about coercion. It is not about performance, ego, or drama which can sometimes be the focus of psychic readings about animals. Effective and ethical animal communication is about exchanging information for the purposes of resolving problems with the input of all parties, deepening intimacy, fostering harmony, learning and enhanced understanding and love. This is accomplished best with a two-way, interactive conversation versus a one-way reading of energy.
Thank you for visiting my blog. It is a place for me to share stories from and about animals, love, loss and healing. The articles are primarily written by me, but some are from my colleagues who have graciously allowed me to share their words here.
