3 tips to help you develop your animal communication skills.

Is animal communication something you’d love to try?

The idea of being able to ‘talk’ to our animal friends is really enticing isn’t it? The good news is that it’s really quite simple and easy, if we’re willing to have an open mind, an open heart and a sense of curiosity.
A few weeks ago I wrote about how to use visualization to help us communicate our desires to our pets. Today I’m excited to share the other side of the animal communication story, how to understand what our pets are feeling and what they desire, by tuning in to their energy.

I’ve been tuning in to the thoughts, feelings and requests of pets for many years now and these are the tips I’l like to share with those of you who are curious about trying to communicate at a deeper level with your own pets.

Tip 1: Have clear energy

If your mind isn’t clear and calm, it’s going to be really hard for you to be able to pick up any information from your pet. A troubled or worried mind has no space to receive insights. So, make sure your mind IS clear and calm before you attempt any kind of animal communication exercises with your pets.
If you are nervous about even trying to communicate with them, that will become an obstacle that will also limit your capacity to receive information.
So, do something to clear your mind, whether it’s a meditation, going for a walk, or, my favourite technique, EFT tapping, which can calm the mind in minutes.
Only proceed to do a ‘tuning in’ exercise after your mind is clear. The process of tuning in can be as simple as intending to do so, or you could use a heart to heart connection (as I demonstrate in my Golden Oldies Pet Love Challenge).

Tip 2: Don’t go in with an agenda

Often when we decide to communicate with our pets it’s because there is specific information that we’d like to get from them. Maybe they aren’t eating well or they aren’t getting along well with other pets in the house. It’s natural to want answers to specific questions BUT it’s not always a great way to start building rapport with your pet. Imagine if someone started talking to you and were instantly asking sensitive questions or demanding answers to specific questions. Would that inspire you to open up to them? A gentler approach is to start from a space of curiosity. If you have a specific question let go of a demand to have it answered right away and ask it from a space of gentle curiosity. Or ask them if there is something they’d like you to know. Then be open to receiving a response from them. You could pick this up as a knowing, an image, a feeling in your body or even as a scent (as I mention in this week’s video).

Tip 3: Start small

Animal communication is a skill and it takes time to develop those muscles of ‘tuning in’. So, don’t try to run before you can walk. Start small, with easy questions, such as ‘what is your favourite food?’ or ‘where is your favourite snoozing spot in the house?’.
If there are really important issues going on for the pet, consider getting someone else (who is not emotionally involved) to communicate with them instead of you (and always consult your veterinarian where appropriate, never use communication as an alternative to veterinary attention, use it as a complementary approach). I do this with my own pets.If it’s a sensitive issue and it feels significant for me, I tend to get a ‘second opinion’ from someone who isn’t caught up in the issue, as it’s hard to be impartial about our own pets issues.
So, take it slowly and steadily. Build up your skills by asking those simple questions and receiving basic information and know that’s it’s ok if you don’t get an ‘answer’ to every question you ask. In time, your confidence and your ability to receive information and insights will grow. Trust in that and have fun along with way, enjoying a deeper connection with your pets. I know they’ll thank you for it.
