I have never looked into this before {animal communication} and so thought a medium is a medium is a medium but I am thinking it seems like there are some who can contact animals and others who cannot? This question arrived in my inbox. It's a question I get asked so often (in a variety of ways) that a blog post is warranted!
In my experience, more people are familiar with the work of psychics, mediums, or psychic mediums, yet they're not as clear about what animal communicators do (or what to expect from an animal communication). Professionally, I identify as an intuitive Animal & Nature communicator (speaking telepathically) with animals living in their (dog, cat, horse, bird, lion) physical bodies and living in spirit, as well as the Natural World (and other realms). I have friends and colleagues who work as professional psychics, mediums and psychic mediums. One of them invited me to their mediumship class and practice group. Here's a few of the similarities and differences, I've noticed with psychics, mediums and animal communicators.

What does my animal family know about my life? It may be a lot more than you realize.
Meet Mylo. He's now in spirit. That doesn't stop him from communicating with his person Kerry. Why are animal family members such good judges of character? I'm often asked this question. Followed by, "Is it body language?"
It's deeper than that. Synchronicity is at work! I laughed seeing the card I pulled for your communication practice tip. Following Leah's interview, this card echoed our conversation about how to communicate with animals. (Unlike non-human animals), we (humans) have busy minds. We're often thinking (yes?).
Thinking take us out of the moment. Out of NOW. Our thinking minds take us on frequent detours to the 'past' or 'future'. Thinking takes us away from the practice of being. Animals and Nature are always communicating with us. By dropping into our being (our natural state), we're more likely to notice the impressions - the intuitive communication - being sent our way. How do we do this? People are really good at humanizing animals and their behaviour. The truth? Each animal species has its' own needs and priorities. When we misunderstand our animals (even with the best of intentions), they're confused and can even lose trust in us. Animals work very hard to communicate. Humans are not always so good at understanding. We ask our animals to live in a human world with human rules. This can be very confusing for them. Behaviour that is completely normal for them may seem odd (or even gross) to us. Problems happen when people mistakenly believe their animals are acting out of anger or spite. When you understand your animal, their behaviour, their point of view everything shifts. including your perspective. Better communication leads to a stronger connection.
Finnigan's plush hedgehog Never underestimate what an animal knows or understands.
Recently, a friend posted a video of a wild, native hedgehog walking the grounds of a cemetery in England. I smiled seeing the hedgehog. A happy memory came to mind. Six years ago, (my dog) Finnigan and I went on a week-long animal companion training (out of province) in Quebec. Several other participants brought their dogs, and one participant brought their companion hedgehog Tink. It was the first time Finnigan had ever met a hedgehog. |
