What Animal Communicators Do ?

For most of my adult life I thought I was one time pretending that I could have conversations with animals.

In making this decision, I rejected the terms "pet psychic" and "readings" because I wanted people to understand that I am not reading the animal as if s/he were a deck of tarot cards, but having an clever conversation with another clever being. This is an important idea: animals are sentient beings with feelings. They are not toys to be played with and discarded when inconvenient. They are not to be treated as children or the elderly or the handicapped or the comatose. They are alive and aware. They think. They feel. They make choices. When they are born and for some length of time which varies with species, they are like human children, requiring additional care and nurturance. Then, like human children, they grow up, albeit in to a body which may look small and cute, but which is adult. At this point, they can making decisions for their own lives and ought to be treated with the same respect and honor that you would give a human equal.

As a professional Animal Communicator, I am asked to speak with the animals who live with other people to facilitate lots of varied situations. While each situation may have something in common with another situation, generalities are often of less value than allowing individual differences to come through. That is the virtue of having the ability to speak with an animal - the needs and feelings of that distinctive and special being can be heard, shared, and responded to in an individual way.

Regrettably, no telepathic communicator - no person - is hundred percent correct on a regular basis in any work. Error can occur because the telepathic connection is weak; because the human client has emotional and/or mental blocks about the situation; because the animal is lying or choosing not to communicate fully; because the meaning of the communication does not fit basically in to the backdrop of knowledge available to the human communicator; or because the telepath basically misconstrues the meaning. Each telepathic communicator brings her own emotional and mental baggage to any session: belief systems, expectations, past experiences and emotions. Being able to drop this baggage and to be a clear channel is an important part of the method of doing the work. The best among us do this on a regular basis, but all telepaths, as all other psychics, do filter the knowledge through their own perspectives on reality. It is part of being human.
When I talk with a client, I am usually on the phone with the human and telepathically connected with the animal. I work this way because my goals are:
1) To permit the human client to participate in the conversation by hearing a description of what I am experiencing as I experience it.
2) To have the human provide feedback, helping insure I am heading in the right direction in understanding and translating what I am receiving.
3) To help the human and the animal resolve the situation so that both of them experience a win-win outcome.
