 Powerful! Moving! A compelling journey reminding us that the wisdom of the animal kingdom offers a window to our own inner mysteries. Through personal experience and intimate case histories, Dawn Brunke has masterfully crafted a 'must read' for skeptics, and animal lovers, alike.

Absolutely worth having on the shelf! Dawn's first book, Animal Voices, was an eye-opener for animal lovers. Dawn has once again written an excellent book, this one applicable for people of all ages, not just teens. She provides many exercises and thought provoking concepts throughout the book which leave the reader with no doubt that they too can telepathically communicate with animals. Of all the animal communication books out there, I believe this is the best one for awakening your inherent abilities to communicate, no matter your age. I highly, highly recommend this book.

This insightful, wise and visionary book boldly leaps over established boundaries and eloquently moves beyond ordinary definitions. It contains a rich tapestry of practical advice for those of us—and there are more of us all the time—who yearn to deepen our knowing that the animal kingdom is a place of ardent tutors and mentors who can offer us keys to the greater human journeys. A compelling, world class treasure.

The Shamanic Way of the Bee

 

The author has beautifully and comprehensively presented a multidimensional overview of the burgeoning field of telepathic communication with animals. Filled with wonderful stories of how animal communicators recover their interspecies telepathic connection and profound messages from many animals, the text carried me along with intense interest.         

 

Dawn answers major questions raised by the mind-stretching implications of animal intelligence and telepathic communion with all beings with both the heart of an excited student who has recovered a long lost dream and the mind of a detective tentatively and skeptically uncovering and dissecting a great mystery. This fascinating, expansive tome adds much to the enlightened understanding of an important phase of our evolution as spiritual and physical beings on Earth.

If you have ever felt a spiritual connection with a dog, cat, or other animal companion, you may have also felt frustrated by the limits of your communication with them. From the first pages of this book, with the story of her dog Barney’s gentle passing, the author takes us into that place in human consciousness where we share a language with all beings. Shapeshifting with Our Animal Companions is a renewal of inter-species wisdom that indigenous peoples have known for tens of thousands of years. This is essential reading for anyone who recognizes the common spiritual bond of all beings on our planet.

Awakening to Animal Voices is a book for open-minded readers of all ages who are  willing to believe it could be possible to communicate with animals, and are ready to find out how. Dawn Brunke shares animal communication stories, exercises, and quotations in an easy-flow that makes the material accessible, informative, and fun.

 

Deep animal wisdom is shared from a wide variety of animals including cats, dogs, lions, bumblebees, flies, llamas, ravens, finches, sharks, whales, elephants, cows, buffalo, frogs, donkeys, and hamsters. Photographs of many of the animals add an extra dimension to this lovely book.

 

Once you start talking with animals, you'll gain confidence in what you're hearing in response. Awakening to Animal Voices helps tremendously by presenting lots of examples of animal conversations as well as tips and pointers for getting the dialogue going--it's the perfect guidebook for starting a fabulous conversation with all the animals in your life!

How perfect is this book, a cutting edge guide to a more profound way of being as our human consciousness expands and deepens by exponential leaps and bounds. Dawn and Barney offer us an essential textbook, a volume of insights so perfectly presented I could not put it down or read fast enough.  Yet it is also a book that deserves to be studied carefully and reread often.  Among so many books being published these days, this one stands tall above all others.

Dawn Brunke takes us along on her incredible journey as she learns how to communicate with animals. She teaches us that animals are our teachers--they teach us to trust ourselves, and as a result of that trust we find out who we are. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, Animal Voices will give you valuable new insight into the world of telepathic animal communication.

Shapeshifting with Our Animal Companions will stretch your vision of what is possible and who you are. This book teaches in layers and begs to be read over and over for a new and deeper understanding with each reading session. The animals teaching Dawn reach through the pages to teach us all, offering wisdom and guidance as they gently lead us through our fears and into a heightened awareness of who we really are and how we are all connected at the core of our beings. Brunke and her animal teachers invite us to step into the mystery and watch it unfold with awe and wonder as we realize all we have been searching for is right here, right now.

What Animals Have Taught Me

 

Animal Voices cuts through the shadow of our projections and beliefs about animals  with both warmth and wit. These loving and wise messages from our feathered, furred, and exoskeleton-clad kin will move hearts and minds in new directions, inspiring even the most skeptical reader. Provocative, healing, and a must read for anyone who has opened his or her heart to another species.

A great read for young and old!

Last year, Dawn Brunke came to our tribal Ya Ne Dah Ah School to talk about animal communication. As part of her talk, she guided the children through a journey to experience what it was like to be the little fish that was swimming around a bowl in the classroom. I followed along, wondering if the exercise would work for me. Closing my eyes and connecting with the fish, I began to feel what it was like to float and swim through the water with little fins attached to my body. For a few minutes, I actually experienced what it was like to `be' a fish - and so did the students.

 

This amazingly wonderful book is easy to read and appropriate for young and old  alike. Just like Dawn's first book, Awakening to Animal Voices gave me a greater appreciation for animals by reading their voices as they share their observations and wisdom. Dawn also relates how she learned more about animals by connecting with them in different ways - through animal communication, dreams, healing experiences, power and totem animals, and more. For example, she writes about observing an eagle, and suddenly seeing through the eagle's eyes. Her book explains how anyone can do this.

 

In addition to a very appealing graphic design with lots of great quotes, animal motifs and photos, and boxes containing animal messages and stories, Awakening to Animal Voices has many other voices too. It includes advice from professional animal communicators as well as animals...from horses, cats and llamas to donkeys, turtles and even some Iditarod sled dogs. More than that, it has exercises, games, meditations and projects aimed at helping readers to connect more deeply with animals (and themselves) by drawing on their own unique strengths and abilities. I only wish there would have been something like this for me when I was a teenager. It will put young readers at a great advantage that many of us older spiritual-seeking bookworms didn't have.
