This reflection arose while reviewing my students’ case studies and noticing how different healing modalities influence far more than the area being treated.

When flow returns at one level, the whole reorganizes.

This guest article by Val Heart shows how emotional steadiness and heart presence transform animal communication, allowing deeper messages, clarity, and trust.

I taught a bonus class to the graduates of our Basic and Advanced Animal Whispering Courses with The Shift Network. We practiced a new exercise that I recently developed. This exercise helps participants to accurately differentiate their thoughts and feelings from those of the animal they communicate with. Our volunteer animal helper was Ziggy, my 14-year-old glossy black cat.

I have a favorite tool I use to help people tune in to their inherent ability to communicate with other species telepathically.

As I was beginning to teach a Basic Course on How to Communicate with Animals years ago, my mentors, the Great Whales, communicated:

Have them feel the animals through their feet on the ground.

Researchers are studying the field of interspecies telepathic communication in new ways that go beyond old scientific research models. Some are even practicing professionals in the field. It is an exciting time for enormous expansion to new people who may not have been open to or even have heard of animal communication.

After animal communication sessions, I see dramatic and immediate behavior changes in client animals all the time. And yet, I can't telepathically say to my pony (who loves treats) "I have an apple for you; come get it!" and get any sort of response. Yet if I physically show him the apple, he stops grazing and trots right over.

How does a recent picture of the animal help the animal communicator (if they are off of the premises)?

Animals have much to teach us with their innate wisdom about life, including dealing with other human beings. This story by animal communicator, Dawn Hayman, illustrates how animals focus on the positive in their present environment.

People often email me their questions about animal communication or their animal friends. When I feel I can answer quickly in a helpful way, especially with people I know, I buzz off a response. Here are a few more of these questions and my answers as food-for-thought.
