Focusing Your Intentions When Animal Communicating

People who are starting to learn animal communication sometimes ask me how they can be sure they are getting the right information.  Besides practicing and getting confirmation from an animal’s person on tangible questions and particular personality traits, I like to remind communication students to focus their intentions before communicating with animals.  It is something most professionals do regularly, and it is very important in order to keep up a high standard of both accuracy and ethical behavior.  Let me give some examples.

Sometimes life gets complicated.  Suppose you have a lot on your mind, or a particular situation with a particular animal has you confused or agitated.  Maybe you are worried about the animal you are trying to contact, or worried about people involved in the situation.  How can you be sure your own expectations, ego or desires won’t get in the way of getting the animal’s true intended meaning?

Open for Business!

Hello, animal lovers.  Just a quick note to say I am back from my sabbatical and available for consultations.  I hope you and your animals have been well, and look forward to speaking with you!

In Memoriam: Quan Yin McLendon-Kunz, 2000-2011

Quan Yin was our little mystery kitty. When we took her in in 2001, the shelter told us only that she was spayed, possibly 9 or 10 months old and very shy. It was later admitted she was probably feral, but all we saw was a beautiful young cat with a scared but sweet air about her that no one else would adopt. Not long afterward, we realized from her constant hiding and lack of proper socialization that she had spent her life from a very young age on the street or in a cage.She hardly knew how to be a cat, misunderstanding our other cats' body language, and not sure how to properly groom herself, much less consistently use a litter box. A fellow animal communicator suggested we call her something kind and reassuring, and she became Quan Yin, the bodhisattva associated with compassion.

On Sabbatical
