Communicating With Our Silent Companions
by Deborah Livingston
“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” –Anatole France
There is much to say about communicating with animals. They are much more than companions for all of us inhabiting this planet; they can be healers, guardian angels, and familiars. We understand their service to humanity beyond the normal view of their presence. Their silent camaraderie can bring so much richness to anyone’s life. The Native American’s read their messages and exalt their knowledge through the Wisdom of Animal Totems, and Animal Medicine.
To perform basic communication with our pets, we do not need to master any technique, but rather apply our natural empathic bond with them and use basic skills of telepathy. Everyone is born with this ability, but like a muscle, telepathy needs training to perform at its best.
All animals communicate with each other, through smells, body language and also through telepathy. Their way of communicating telepathically is very diverse from our way; they don’t use words like the rest of us, instead, they use images, feelings, and emotions.
How to Improve Communications with Animal Friends?
In my experience as an animal communicator, I’ve learned there are essential elements for effectively communicating with them. These include a deep respect for them, compassion and understanding. One must never forget that Animals are spiritual beings, inhabiting a human world. Therefore, they possess alternate levels of awareness, which are certainly different from human perception, yet are still definite manifestations of consciousness.
Many people misjudge the intelligence of animals because they “humanize” them and expect them to act and react as a human does, versus how an animal does. This is an inaccurate assessment and judgment of these sentient beings because they cannot expect to behave exactly as humans do. Having said that, they do possess certain similarities with human behavior.
First, some may have more abilities to communicate, as a personal trait, while others may find it more difficult because they are timid by nature, just as some humans are extroverted and others are introverted. Also, in many cases of rescue animals, they manifest grief, fear and sometimes symptoms similar to humans suffering from post-traumatic stress. As with every person, approach communicating with every animal based upon its unique circumstances and life experiences, as well as its singular personality.
Our Pet Companions Communicate in Many Ways
When communicating with your pet, you need to express your message through a mindset of cooperation and partnership. Because animals generally do not have elaborate and complex emotions, they are pure and innocent, like children. Animals do not possess malice in their souls. Many times, when they misbehave, you can assume that there is sound reasoning underlying their conduct.
To expand your consciousness, I highly recommend that everyone make an attempt to learn how to better communicate with your animals. This will broaden your assessment of reality, deepening the relationship with your animal companion. The love and insight they can bring to your life is without comparison.
