Of all the professions I’ve had in my life, Animal Communicator is the one I love the most and the one I’ve had the most: 25 years this year.

Communicating telepathically with animals brings many rewards to me personally, to animals, and to my human clients as well.

These are some of my favorite things about telepathic communication with animals.

1_ Communicating with animals reminds me to have my heart open.

Having an open heart facilitates telepathic exchange. Also, the more open-hearted you are, the more you live from your personal truth and your Divine Self.

Many animals, like most humans, do not always have open hearts due to the stress they may have encountered in their lives.

When I speak telepathically to animals, I can help them restore their hearts to greater peace, love, and openness.

2_ Animals are incredible teachers.

Even when you don’t think your animals are teaching you, just by being with you, they are showing you other ways of being.

Some are demonstrating how to meditate or how to be at peace or how to trust.

Many dogs are great at showing us how to enter spaces with joy and enthusiasm.

Many cats are excellent meditators.

Birds can teach us the joy of flying in freedom, letting go of our limitations so that we can really fly.

Some horses tell me that when they run free, they have the same experience of flying.

3_ Animals generally love us unconditionally, and when I communicate with them, I can feel their love for their families.

Whether you are speaking to an animal in spirit, an animal preparing to leave its body, or a young man wreaking havoc in someone’s home, your love is very powerful.

Over the years, I was telepathically washed my face with tongue salutes from big, wet dogs, telepathically tickled with feline whisker kisses, and telepathically head butted with enthusiastic horses. Birds often perch telepathically on my head or on an arm or finger.

No matter what type of animal you are talking to, love can be very strong and each animal will express it wonderfully in its own unique way.

4_ Animals help us broaden our perspectives by offering their own, which can be quite revealing and illuminating.

I will always remember the cat who told her human that her husband’s heart problem was not only physical, but that it came from not letting himself fall in love.

The cat gave explicit instructions on how to buy a card with an angel, and the cat offered a well-worded loving message for the wife and son to write on the card. The message was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes and the woman’s.

5_ Animals are very forgiving.

I have had many clients calling me plagued with guilt about what they did and / or did not do for their animal before the animal left their body.

When I ask the animal about it, he is always understanding, kind, gentle, forgiving, affectionate, and even loving for his person. What a blessing that sometimes they love us more than we love ourselves.

6_ Animals are excellent at reflecting our problems to us so that we can grow and change.

One day he was furious with Melissa. As I was driving the car, I was ranting to myself about all the things she did that I found infuriating.

Then I had the sudden and surprising realization that all of Melissa’s problems exactly matched mine, some from when she was a child or a teenager, others that still needed to be solved.

This insight helped me come out of the trial and into unconditional love for both Melissa and myself. What a great learning experience.

7_ Animals are fabulous healers and offer their healing without reservation.

In 2003, he had just come home from surgery to repair a broken ankle. He was on his back, asleep, his leg in a cast and propped up on two pillows.

I woke up to the phone ringing, and when I tried to sit up, I found that I couldn’t move.

My two cats at the time, Violet and Sakhara, who weighed over 20 pounds together, were lying on my cast. They were offering their healing energies and purrs, which actually vibrate at rhythms that heal bones.

8_ Animals often come to us over and over again over several lifetimes.

Starlight, my adorable Siamese, was my Arabian mare, Echo, in her last life. Now she is a cat. This has spawned some fascinating mind-expanding experiences.

They have so much in common that I came up with a new word, “felicino.” [feline+equine] – a horse that comes back like a cat!

9_ Animals can have a great sense of humor.

While most of my clients rarely ask their animals to tell funny stories, I had a client who was curious what her dog would say.

The dog told about a Thanksgiving Day when the cat jumped on the table, attacking the turkey, which flew to the ground so that the dogs and cats could feast.

The woman and her daughter laughed and laughed as they recalled this fun experience.

My cat Violet, now in spirit, used to look at me like Jack Benny while making a clever joke about something.

She always seemed insulted while I laughed out loud at her comments.

Without telepathy, he would never have known that he enjoyed his wry sense of humor, which had nothing to do with physical behaviors.

10_ Animals are an expression of the Divine, just like humans.

Ultimately, we are all One Consciousness, and animals often show us the way to that amazing and blessed Unity of Being that is our ultimate goal as we return to the higher dimensions of Unconditional Divine Love and pure Divine Light.

I talk telepathically to my animals all the time. It enriches every day of my life.

Communicating telepathically with animals has been and continues to be a great blessing, and I am privileged to be able to help others communicate with their animals as well.
