Reflection: Animal Communication
Animal Communicator

The concept of interspecies communication has always intrigued me so finally meeting an animal communicator was a great experience. All my preconceived notions about psychics and communication between two different realms could finally either be challenged or my doubts finally be put to rest.

I thought it was interesting that she that began with exercises that made us aware of our own bodies. I am an avid believer that most of our actions and interactions are subjected to levels of processing that occur at subconscious level. I think few people really take the time to connect with their inner selves, to join their body and mind. I particularly like the exercise where she had us imagine different scenarios. I found them to be enlightening as they revealed the different ways in which we process information and/or stimuli. I think this reveals the subjective nature of human experience. I found that these exercises really made us in a way, "stop to smell the flowers," that is really take time to engage and focus on how our environment acts upon us.

While I do believe that all living things possess a unique energy and that sometimes this energy can transfer between species, I don't know how much of the intended message is truly communicated. Sure, we could try to imagine what it would feel like to be a certain animal and how it might react to in a given situation, I can't help but feel that this humans way of trying to bridge a barrier that has been set by nature itself. I don't believe that humans will ever know what an animal is actually saying but agree that through interactions we can become sensitive to an animal's way of being. That is we can learn of its tendencies and personality and in this way come to understand and interact in a more positive manner.

For this reason I think that animal communicators don't have a special mechanism that allows them to speak to animals instead I think they have techniques for quieting their mind which therefore allows them to be more observant and attentive to the animals needs.
