In this age of ecological emergency, more people are seeing the need to recognize their connection with all living beings. Communication between humans and animals has taken on a deeper meaning and urgency. We can learn so much from the animals about how to live in harmony and balance on the Earth. For animal lovers, direct telepathic communication boosts the understanding, joy, and richness possible in relationships with their animal companions and all of life.

Animals obviously communicate to humans and to each other through physical action and their own complex, specific behaviors and languages. However, they also communicate through the underlying and universal language of all species – telepathy. Tele- comes from the Greek for "distance," especially "transmission over a distance." -Pathy comes from the Greek for "feeling" or "sensation." So, telepathy can be translated as the transmission of feeling over a distance, similar to the word, "telephone," which relates to the transmission of sound over a distance. Telepathic communication involves the direct transmission of thoughts, concepts, mental images, emotions, impressions, feelings, sensations, and pure knowing.

Human and non-human animals receive each other’s telepathic messages to the degree that they can tune in or perceive them. Many animals understand human spoken language by learning the meaning behind words through context and repetition (just as we do). They also can get human intentions, feelings, emotions, thoughts, or mental pictures that are transmitted with the words, even if the words aren't totally understood.

Children are born with the ability to communicate telepathically with their own and other species. Humans in this society are generally socialized to use verbal language as the accepted and "higher" mode of communication and discouraged from getting human or other species' thoughts and feelings directly. We are also conditioned to believe that animals are generally inferior to humans in their ability to think, feel, and make non-instinctual choices, so we learn to separate ourselves from mutual and equal communication with them.

The word ANIMAL comes from the Latin, ANIMA, which means life principle, breath, air, soul, living being. Recognition of the spiritual essence of animals and respecting them as fellow intelligent beings is vital to facilitate interspecies telepathic exchange. Animals are able to communicate with humans who are open to the telepathic connection. They get your intentions, emotions, images, or thoughts behind the words, even if the words themselves aren't totally understood.

I have communicated with animals all my life. For over thirty years, I have successfully used with animals the same counseling techniques that help humans through traumas and problems. Through listening and talking to thousands of animals and counseling them and their people, I have routinely seen upsets and problems resolve, negative behavior disappears, illnesses and injuries heal speedily, and warmth and communion between humans and animals blossom...
