Anyone who has shared his or her life with animals knows that a special, unique unspoken language occurs. It's really our original language, how we communicated at birth. If a feeling or a situation was extreme, we expressed out loud in the way that we knew how, yet the rest of the time we were quite content in this unspoken world of energy that usually fulfilled our needs. Our parents were truly communicating with us telepathically.
It is no different for the animals. Animals communicate with us, and with each other in many ways. They have the ability to connect to humans intuitively, and they also have their own body language. They learn to respond to a few words in their species' specific expression (barking, meowing, growling, neighing, snorting, etc.). Domesticated animals have more of a human vocabulary than wild animals that communicate more telepathically with pictures.
Each sound and each body movement an animal makes means something. They express joy, fear, happiness and sadness by the way they act and the sounds they make. Dolphins and whales, for instance, use sonar and high-pitched whistles to speak to one another, and even to their handlers when they are in captivity. Birds have different songs and chirps. Cats purr, growl and hiss, dogs bark, whine and growl, and all species have body language that is characteristic of what they are trying to express.
I had the incredible experience of swimming with and communicating with Atlantic and Pacific bottle-nosed dolpins at Dolphinaris in Cozumel, Mexico. There were several small groups of us in separate coves, but connected by the main pool. Several dolphins left their coves to come to me, mostly the older ones, both male and female. They were like dogs in their attention and expression of unconditional love, only smarter than humans. I asked how they liked their home at Dolphinaris, or if they preferred to be free in the sea. They all told me that they loved their home and the safety and security of Dolphinaris and loved their trainers (each dolphin has their own trainer), that they especially loved their food and were never hungry, that at sea they were always hungry, always hunting and had no time for play, and that the sea was "scary" as they telepathed images of seine nets. So while dolphins have no natural preditors, I learned it was HUMANS they had to fear. I've since taken steps to support the care and safety of wild dolphins. And recycling is one of the most important steps we can take to reduce pollution and ensure the sea creatures always have plenty of clean, plastic-free food. Please recycle!
Anyone who has ever watched the wonderful programs on Animal Planet can tell you that elephants and other species mourn their dead, mother bears get impatient with their cubs, and baboons are affectionate and loving with their young. Sadness, impatience, love--these are all emotions that some attribute only to human beings. And yet, as scientists continue to study the various species of animals and how they communicate, they realize that they are not discovering anything new. Animal communicators and healers have always known that emotions are not just for people. Communicating and healing are not confined to humans interacting with the various species on this planet on various levels. Many animals are able to understand their humans' emotions, and even experience and become affected by the same emotional challenges their humans are experiencing. Animals are also able to heal their humans through their innate healing abilities.
It is well known that an animal companion is good for the physical body as well as the soul. Animal companions help relieve stress, lift us up when we are down, and seem to know our every mood. They are the epitome of unconditional love. They give children the opportunity to learn responsibility and respect, they keep the lonely company, and they serve humanity in special ways.
Dogs for the visually impaired have a special intuitive connection with their owners. These remarkable canines are able to sense danger and alert their owners to foreign objects on the sidewalks. During the World Trade Center disaster, one dog in particular led his visually impaired owner down the stairs through debris and fire to bring him and others to safety. Dogs and cats belonging to hearing impaired owners have been known to awaken them to alert them to a fire or a burglar. I have even heard of monkeys being able, without any special training, to assist those who have lost the use of their arms or hands, through sensing their humans' needs. They have been known to travel great distances in order to find their "lost" humans. And when we are angry, our animal companions are not sensing the tone or loudness of the voice as much as they are the emotional vibration emanating from us. But it is not just our vibration they are sensing. They are also reading our body language.
A significant study shows some animals do possess the ability to reason. Remember Koko, the gorilla who has learned sign language and asked for a kitten? Koko and other animals demonstrate that they are able to communicate their needs and thoughts. Many generations of "Kokos" are now communicating with their trainers all over the world and subsequent generations of primates who have been taught to sign, are now teaching signing to their offspring. They also reason, although not on such a highly developed level as their human counterparts. We humans just have to learn to understand them.
There was a baboon in a zoo in Europe that had learned to escape his habitat after his keepers have locked it down for the night. After several attempts to catch the animal in the act, they finally discovered that he was hiding a piece of wire between his gum and lip. After the zookeepers would leave, he would use that wire to pick the lock on his cage and walk out! This is cognitive reasoning and thoughtful creativity, an expression that was once attributed only to humans. Of course, primates are the closest animals to humans. As intelligent as they are, I don't think you would find a dog that could pick a lock. They don't have opposable thumbs. But if they did, they could. They're smart enough. I once had an American Pit Bull Terrier who could open a door by the door knob. This was not a handle-type door opener. It was a round knob. He got ahold of it with his strong jaws and turned it to open the door. So that he couldn't go outside unattended, I had to keep my doors locked all the time!
When we can tune in to our animal companions, and even animals in the wild, we allow them to transmit to us, telepathically, what they need for us to know. I once heard a commotion on my screened porch which is my cats' lair. There they can feel they are outside, but yet they are protected. When I looked out, I could see that a squirrel had somehow fallen through a loose part of the screen and was terrified while my cats chased him around. Fortunately, I was able to usher the cats inside the house. I calmed my energy and the squirrel stopped flinging himself at the screen. I telepathed to the squirrel that I was going to open the door, he would run out, and up a nearby tree. He then stood back so I could get to the door to prop it open. When I stepped out of the way, he ran out and up the tree.
When animals are ill they generally try to hide their illness. In the wild, illness indicates weakness and they can quickly become prey. This is especially problematic with cats, as they are not as domesticated as dogs. Most dogs will willingly tell us how they feel and what they need. Cats are difficult to talk to as they require more time in assuring them we will not blow their cover. With cats I can feel how they feel and go from there. Once I have a good idea what they are feeling, whether it's pain, weakness, fear, or just plain not feeling well, I can provide their people with enough information to decide whether a trip to the vet is in order. Dogs are usually an open book, and all too happy to tell me what they want us to know. While I can also feel their energy, dogs who have spent a lot of time with people have a greater vocabulary and are better able to express themselves. But I always contend that if your animal companion appears to be uncharacteristicly quiet for more than a day or so, I would recommend taking him or her to the vet. My elderly dogs have good days and bad. I'm not going to run them off to the vet every time they don't feel well because I can feel what's going on. But when they are not themselves longer than their occasional bad days and I'm not getting anything more than their ill feeling, then I take them to the vet for more comprehensive medical attention.
Since animals obviously possess knowledge and skills they can use to accomplish simple tasks, they do have the ability to let us know what they want and need--if we are willing to listen to them. When we make the effort to communicate with animals, we make a connection far beyond the auspices of this plane. Animals are relieved to be able to express their feelings, their needs, and desires, as well as telling us what they need for us to know about them. If they are ill, frustrated, annoyed, or fearful, they are usually very willing to express this and are very grateful for our calming influence and healing energy, but mostly for our willingness to listen to them. We can learn to listen to them--to tune in to them--and "hear" what they are trying to tell us. Everyone can do it; it just takes practice.
Knowing what we do and learning more and more
every day, we simply cannot take animals for granted. They are
here for a purpose and share our lives for the experiences we
encounter and lessons we learn, the most important lesson being
that of unconditional love.
I have enjoyed communing with animals since I was very young, always attracting animals to me, be they wild, domestic, and those in spirit. I read the energy of the animals, either in person or at a distance, opening the lines of telepathic communication with them so I can tell you what they want you to know. I can also tell you what your own personal spirit animal has to share with you. Aside from animal communication, I am a Usui Reiki Master, crystal healer, and certified parapsychologist. Thank you for visiting my website. I look forward to meeting you and your animal companions!
