The topic of lost animals

Lost animals is something I typically shy away from in my animal communication sessions. They are so fraught with emotion, with the fear of letting down a client, having spent my time on it and possibly not producing a result but still needing to be paid for my time, and there is the fear of getting it wrong. Personally I find it takes a lot of courage to go there.

So for those of you delving in animal communication, there are various ways you can approach trying to find a lost animal, and the success of which will largely depend on where your strength area lies. I always advocate that once we learn our strength area and we are beginning, it is best to stick with that and you find over time the other ways you can receive information will begin to flow also.

Finding one’s strength areas in animal communication is something we work on discovering at the workshops I teach. We explore this by working on the day with different ways of receiving – by holding horsehair, by looking at photos, by working with animals in front of us. And by utilising all of our 5 senses, as well as the various forms of psychic senses too (or the “Clairs”) as they are called:

Clairvoyance means clear seeing

Clairaudience means clear hearing

Clairsentience means clear feeling

Clairalience means clear smelling

Clairgustance means clear tasting

Claircognizance means clear knowing.

As we are all unique, we will not all have the same experience in how we receive. For some of us we receive the information by our various senses, be it smell, sight, taste, a feeling or emotion. Some of us will have a vision, some of us will have a knowing. Some of us are a bit of a wizard with a pendulum, so getting out a map and using a pendulum over a map with the intention of finding the lost animal will produce a result.

For myself I find I have had the most success at going straight to the animal energetically and trying to help them navigate their way back home… that is providing that they want to go back home, or know how to.

I once had to find a cat in another state whose owner had sadly been found deceased at home, and the back door had been left open a crack so the cat could come and go. In this instance I quickly located the cat by distance and was able to talk with the cat. The cat was scared and confused and did not want to go back home. Something bad had happened to his person, and strangers had been coming and going from the house. He sensed a lot of tension there and was staying well away. These well-meaning strangers were desperate to find the cat to care for him and find him a new home.

Once I communicated with the cat about what had happened, and explained what was to happen for him he agreed to come to a meeting point. I asked the people to put a cat trap in the back yard with a specific food that was requested by the cat. I asked the cat to go into the trap where this food would be waiting, and that a door would shut behind him, but not to worry because the nice people would be coming back to find him and care for him. We even negotiated a day and time that this would happen. He also told me about a spot in the back yard to put it where he felt safest.

Like clockwork the cat trap was placed, the cat returned and went in and stayed there, and the nice people came back to take him to a lovely new home.

In this instance the cat was willing to participate once he knew what was happening, and he also knew the way home, but had been choosing not to go there.

If the situation is different and the animal is truly lost, it can be much, much harder and you will have to draw on all the tools in your box to produce a result.

Another thing that is sometimes very hard to tell (for me) with lost animals, is whether they are deceased or alive. I was convinced recently that a cat had passed over because of the massive feeling of expansiveness with no end that I felt when connected to him, however he was found 3 weeks later by a committed owner who had been out daily on foot looking for him. I believe the feeling I received was an expression of just how lost and dissociated he felt.

It is certainly a very tricky part of animal communication to work with, but I hope some ideas here may help anyone that is looking for a lost animal. Find your strength and go with that always, especially on the more delicate cases.
