What Animal Communicators Do
by: Nedda Wittels
Many people are awakening today to the idea that the animals who
live with us are more than child substitutes, more than "pets".
The term "pet" means an animal who lives with us for our
amusement or as our companion. All animals are, in fact,
sentience beings - conscious, intelligent, with life purposes and
life goals. They are aware of themselves and of their situations.
They make life choices. They often express unconditional love for
the humans who are part of their families.
For most of my adult life I thought I was just pretending that I
could have conversations with animals. It was something I did as
a game or did without thinking. That was because I was
sufficiently programmed as a child to reject idea that the
communications I was experiencing telepathically were "just your
imagination, my dear." After reading Animal Talk, by Penelope
Smith, I came to the startling realization that I had been
rejecting what my heart knew was true: I could communicate with
animals and they could communicate with me. It was just a short
jump from this insight to knowing that I wanted to be a
professional Animal Communicator, to help others learn what I had
learned.
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
rather having an intelligent conversation with another
intelligent being. This is an important concept: 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 into a body which may look small and cute, but
which is adult. At this point, they are capable of making
decisions for their own lives and should 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 many 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 being able to speak with an animal - the needs and
feelings of that unique and special being can be heard, shared,
and responded to in an individual way.
Unfortunately, no telepathic communicator - no person - is one
hundred percent accurate all the time 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 easily into the backdrop of information available to the
human communicator; or because the telepath simply 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 process of doing the work. The best among us do this on a
regular basis, but all telepaths, as all other psychics, do
filter the information somewhat through their own perspectives on
reality. It is part of being human.
When I talk with a client, I am usually on the telephone with the
human and telepathically connected with the animal. I work this
way because my goals are:
To allow the human client to participate in the conversation by
hearing a description of what I am experiencing as I experience
it.
To have the human provide feedback, helping insure I'm on the
right track in understanding and translating what I am receiving.
To help the human and the animal resolve the situation so that
both of them experience a win-win outcome.
Many situations can be easily resolved for the benefit of both
human and animal clients. The old adage of walking 100 miles in
someone else's moccasins (or paws) is very applicable here. The
animal's perspective may be very different from that of the human
with whom the animal lives. An important aspect of my work is to
help each side understand the other's perspective. Only with
mutual understanding can a win-win be created. Only with mutual
understanding can our Love for each other be complemented with
mutual recognition of our Self in the Other. This leads to
respect and admiration, and even greater Love. This is what
Animal Communication is all about.
