Learning to communicate with animals is a 3 step process. First, one must believe it is possible. It is as the old saying goes, "If you think you can, you will." Second, one must learn to send the right information. You must learn to think in a manner that the animals will not misinterpret. Third, one must learn to receive information from an animal. You then have the tools; but without practice and self confidence, it is difficult to succeed. As with any newly learned language, one can not understand all that is said right away - one catches only a fragment now and then. Those who speak a language every day do so very quickly. The language of animals is the same. Practice and confirmation of what you receive is essential to build the self confidence you need.
I teach people this language of the animals in group seminars. These seminars are best taught in two parts to give people the best opportunity for success. Part one is a whole day seminar where one will learn to send and receive information from the animals. There will be some guided practice where each participant will talk with animals. After part one, students are asked to practice and to write down their problems and questions. They should be trying to send their pets the right information and observe the results. They should also be trying to receive information. It is usually hardest to receive from one's own pets because our logic and emotions get in the way. It is best to work with strangers, but sometimes finding willing pet owners for practice is difficult or uncomfortable for people. Everything needed to converse with the animals in included in part one. If a group wishes to schedule a Seminar Part Two, it is a half day and provides additional information and tips on how to improve one's skills. The focus is on guided practice communicating with each other's pets and on brainstorming ways to ask questions.
I find that folks often expect to communicate at the same level I do after just one day. That doesn't happen. Like any language, it takes time and practice to achieve proficiency. I saw only pictures for a long time. It was more than five years before I received a physical sensation. It was 10 years of work at this language before I could do it over distance. And... it was working in the vet's office for 2 years and talking with many animals every day, that helped me become fluent in the language of the animals. Folks who have that sort of opportunity for practice and confirmation will find it very helpful.
In those first seminars that I attended as a student, I learned that what helped me the most was how to send information. Knowing how to tell my animals what I wanted made training and living with them much easier. Receiving information from our own pets is difficult because our logic and emotions get in the way. I can send to my dogs but I don't receive information very well from them because I know them too well.. Friends who converse in the language of the animals talk to my dogs for me. However, I must repeat, that when I first learned the language of the animals, it was the realization that they knew what I was thinking and understanding how to send information correctly that helped me the most.
