On Opening to Telepathy  

by Sherman (cat) through Penelope Smith

Relax and be in the love. Just feel the love of all creatures— for you and you for all of life. Bask in the sunshine and feel the love permeating everywhere. That’s all that telepathy is about anyway—it’s feeling the love that we have for each other. It’s on the carrier wave of love that we receive our understanding and our messages.

 

On Learning Animal Communication  

by Buddy (horse) through Carole Devereux

You don’t need to wait to grow up to talk to animals. You can do what you want with animals right now, while you are young. There is no waiting required. My advice is to start now. Today!

 

Go outside right now and talk to the first animal you see, whether it’s a bird or an insect, or a squirrel. Ask what it’s like to be that animal. If it’s a bird, ask how does it feel to fly? Let yourself go; let yourself feel what the bird feels. Does she like living in your town? Is there anything she knows that is fun to do, like rolling and twirling in the wind?

 

Don’t limit yourself to animals. Stand under a tree with your arms open wide. Look up into its branches, its open arms, and talk to the tree. Smell the pine needles under your feet or the rotting leaves in the rain. Earth is communicating with us all the time. We know what clouds say when they are dark and heavy – this is an ancient, primal communication. Use it today. Remember it now. Learn it again.

 

On Relaxing and Getting Over Yourself 

by Maya (cat) through Gretchen Kunz

 

My person is a professional communicator, and sometimes she will get so stressed out or unsure of herself that she gets blocked and can’t communicate, even though it’s one of her favorite things to do! I tell her, “Get over yourself. It’s gonna be okay. You can do it. Stop worrying about it and it will work out!” Sometimes she listens to me, and sometimes she doesn’t. But, eventually, she has to get over her doubt and stress and fears and relax, and then she’ll do it. It works every time.

On Different Types of Animal Healing  

by KC (cat) through Morgine Jurdan

 

Animals are capable of healing in many different ways. When there is stress in the home or when people are ill, animals do their best to restore balance by healing work. Some give healing energy, like a cat resting on your lap or snuggling up by your head. Some communicate with you and make suggestions about releasing anger, changing jobs, taking a workshop and so on. Some work with you in dreams. Some transmute things with their own bodies after clearing your energy fields. A cat’s purring is healing itself. 

 

Animals can send healing to you and others who live far away. Animals are capable of being in more than one place at a time. Sometimes, they encourage you to play with them, often because you are the one needing to relax and unwind and release your stress. This applies to all kinds of animals, not just cats and dogs.

On Peace and Healing

by Shanti (llama) through Tera Thomas

 

I am Shanti. My name, Shanti, means peace. I bring peace and peace brings healing.

 

The concept of healing is often misunderstood by humans, as if you can wave a magic wand and everything that feels wrong is miraculously turned to right. Some say that healing is an art, a gift, or a miracle. But healing is a very subtle thing. I say that healing is a simple moment of raising one’s vibration to resonate with All That Is. A healing can occur from something very simple like a touch or a glance. If you are feeling down and you see someone who makes you smile, you have just received a healing. The reason that prayer heals is because the person praying in earnestness has let go of their individual self and connected with All That Is. It is not the words of a prayer that are important—it is the connection.

 

Healing is a state of being that does not require a logical explanation or a scientific document. It just IS. So, don’t look for healing in your mind, look for it in your heart. Breathe it in and let it expand your beingness to touch all others, to feel all others, to recognize your oneness, your belonging to the family of life. You are spirit in a physical body, looking to find your way home and to bring that home here to this planet, grounded in the love of All That Is and All That You Are.

On Stepping into your Animal’s Life

by Zak (dog) through Dawn Brunke

 

Many animals come to visit, teach or interact with humans for particular reasons. So many animals work in different ways than you are used to perceiving. Some of us find this amusing. You think you are very important at times and we are “just dogs,” “just cats,” “just fish” and yet – if only you could see it from our perspective!

 

My invitation to readers is to consider stepping into your animal’s life for a time – at least once to be sure, though perhaps many times as well. Allow yourself to open on deeper levels, to feel a deeper way of seeing the world. Not so much skating around quickly on the surface as sinking down and feeling, sensing, knowing the world from a different channel, a different vibration, a different perspective. This you need to feel – not just to talk about or intellectualize, but feel around your body and in your body.

 

Allow yourself to merge with any aspect of the Universal One. You are still “you” but you are also expansive and one with all. From this point, there is no need to explain anything, for everything you need to know is present. In the oneness of connection, you can feel the growth of plants, the movements of animals, the singing of the stars.

We are here to bring your heart out – to help you feel what you know deep inside to be true – that you are worthy of the love that you show to us. We show it back to you; look in our eyes, you see it there. We do not lie. What you see is what you get. Sometimes you do not look closely, you are too afraid. You do not want to see yourself, to give acceptance and love and graciousness and compassion to yourself. We hold it for you to see – and that is the truth.

Be true to your spirit, your self, your way of being. Do not walk as another does – walk as you are meant to walk. Be who you are. You are here at this moment, in this lifetime, to accomplish great things.
