sending information to animals

I am often asked to pass on information to animals. From stopping a behaviour, to how many nights someone will be away on holidays from their home. Relaying information is the easiest thing we can do in animal communication, and I almost always ask people to have a go at this themselves.

They understand us so much more than we realise. I am sure you can think of many examples such as when you think about taking the dog for a walk and they are ready waiting before you give a physical cue. Or when you are home and your dog starts getting excited and minute later someone they know pulls into the driveway!

Animals receive information from other animals (and also from us) in pictures, body language and intent. That is why there is no language barrier - for example I can talk to a horse in any country and the language is universal, not dictated by the various languages of our planet. If you think about it, animals are nowhere near as verbal as we are, yet they will move and act as one (think schools of fish or birds flying in formation or a herd of wild horses wheeling together). They are linked to one another by their thoughts and energy. So it makes sense they can understand our thoughts and energy too.

I can't stress enough the importance of the positive placement of our thoughts and intentions with our animals whether in person or by distance, even if we are upset with them. I have been in another state and my horse at home has been responding to my thoughts as was fed back to me by someone else in my family.

As mentioned before, when we speak, our minds form pictures whether we are conscious of them or not. And these, along with our intention are received by the animals. If we wish to stop a behaviour we perceive as "bad" we can’t just tell them to stop doing it, but instead need to focus on the new replacement behaviour that we would like, ALONG with the benefits of that new behaviour. We can keep telling them to stop doing something but all we are doing is focussing on the "bad" behaviour which is coming with alot of energy of our emotions about it, so they can often perceive that is what we do want as that is what they are seeing.

An example would be a dog that jumps on us. When we go near that dog we will be thinking "don't jump on me" and displaying a defensive stance getting ready for this. I had this with my own dog Beau a couple of years ago. Instead, I had to focus very strongly on my space as my own, and seeing his feet firmly on the ground. I tested this out and every time I thought to myself "don't jump on me" he did, however when I was very firm in my mind on what I did want, he went with that more positive option instead.

And even then they may or may not display changes in their behaviour. They are an individual being, just like us, with their own motivations for their behaviour, so we can give our side of things, but it has to be their decision to want to make the change we request.

If we are planning to travel it is a good idea to tell them how many nights you will be away and picture the dark of each night to them when you do so. You should also tell them who will be looking after them, and any other important information, and visualise yourself returning home to them at the end. You may feel silly, but they do understand.

An extreme case of this I was told of was a herd of horses who were not putting on weight despite being fed well much to their owner's dismay. A communicator connected with them to find that they had heard that the owners were planning to sell them on once they were in better condition. They did not want to be split up and sold along so they restricted their intakes. Once a communicator was able to give them the full picture of the story (as they had only received the information in snippets from the owners) they were satisfied, put on the weight and were rehomed in a very appropriate way.

This is a good example of them receiving confused information and this is a very common thing I come across. Where the animal has received part of but not all the information, and often they are quite anxious about it. Again, the importance of being clear is highlighted here.

Pictured here is our gorgeous boy Beau... Beau is a cross between Kelpie, Border Collie and Blue Heeler - all working dogs. Let’s just say he has given us plenty of opportunity over his few years with us to work on putting across positive information to him but he is going very well these days! And that is his sidekick Arwen the Kelpie chilling out there with her paws crossed.

So maybe give this a try whether you are going on holidays, wanting to encourage a new behaviour, or doing some training. It is also great brain training for ourselves and our own mindset - again the animals have much to teach us - in this instance and topic, to remain positive and clear, which applies pretty well for us in our own lives too
