The Book Of THoTH

I would love to learn to do this. I read Amelia Kinkade's book 'Straight From the Horse's Mouth' and did the exercises but my third eye seems to be cemented shut.

Are there any animal communicators here? How did you learn to do it? Did you take a class or is there a particular book or specific technique that helped you break through? How long did it take before you felt confident in your ability?

I did read Annumela's article (thank you, Annumela!) and her animal communication request posts. I'm trying her suggestions and crossing my fingers.

Hey Tamarama

Welcome to BoT!

Yeah, Annu really is the best person to talk to about this. She really has it down. What I can tell you is that this is not a simple matter of "talking telepathically to your pet". It really does seem as if you are speaking to some spirit essence of the animal. That means this is "spirit communication" essentially. You are simply speaking to the spiritual being of an animal that is also currently incarnated. This is important to get your head around becasue one can't really use this directly. For example you can't look at your dog and "telepathically" say sit and reliably expect him to do it. So people et frustrated with this kind of endeavour and give up. If you understand that you are talking to the spirit essence then you are more likely to be patient with this. And the other thing is it usually takes quite some time for you to get what the reply voice is and how to listen to it. It took me months to learn to "hear" for spirit my communications.

I guess I'd recommend that you meditate a lot so that you teach yourself to "quiet your mind". And then get in the habit of really LISTENING inside your mind. Mostly though, don't give up. It's probably not something you'll get right quickly but on a day something will click. Good luck!

Thanks for the welcome and the pep talk, Zingdad!

I just reread the advice you gave Enaid on Annumela's Animal Communication Requests IV thread. You really know your stuff too! Thanks for sharing that it took months for you to hear the spirit communications. There may be hope for me yet. I'll follow your suggestions and be patient.

I've been practicing for about 6 weeks. I think I have 'heard' my dog's thoughts twice in all that time but it's hard to tell. It was very subtle but I caught a few words that surprised me and made me laugh, not what I was expecting at all. I was not doing exercises from my book at the time, it just seemed to happen randomly.

Amelia Kinkade says she can hear animals speak just as if she was talking to a person. One cat sounded like Alfred Hitchcock if I remember correctly (!). What I got from my dog was more like the voice of my own thoughts, if that makes any sense. I realize that everyone may 'hear' animals in their own way but I'm wondering if having real conversations with animals in their own voices is actually possible. That's what I'm hoping for.

I don't mean to sound obsessed with this or anything. I don't pester my dog. It's just been a dream of mine for a long time.

Certainly each of us is different and seldom more so than in the ways our extra-sensory abilities manifest and develop. I can tell you that I normally hear the spirit beings I am conversing with in my own inner-voice. If I am in the mood to doubt things then I very easily can as it can easily be mistaken for my own imagination creating the response. In the beginning I mostly doubted but did it anyway expecting at any moment to see the flaw and give it up. But then I started to get info coming through that I simply would not have "made up". New ideas, interesting thoughts, complex and perfectly formed explanations for questions which I previously had no answers. Slowly I began to trust. Little by little. Then on a day I took the plunge. I decided to post a spirit communication on a forum. I did it with my heart in my mouth - I was so scared that I was actually just deluding myself and that people were going to point out some glaring error and that would be that. All my "stuff" would blow up in smoke. But I decided I would rather find proof that I am deluded and be done with it than just keep on going without sharing the info I was getting and without offering myself this opportunity to test what I had. And here I still am about two years later. My current position is that I have decided that what I get is real but that I cannot prove this to anyone who chooses not to believe it. It is up to each person to decide what is true for themselves. And it is right that it should be so. The law of free will determines that you can never prove such a thing to anyone. If you could you'd take away their right to doubt.

So anyway. That's a little of my story. I tell it so that you can see this isn't something that just "arrives". Everyone that I know that does something like this has had to work at it and hone it. And keep going when they doubted. And keep going when they were called frauds or liars. And then, more difficult than that, when people start thinking you are something amazing and special and miraculous to not let your ego get blown out. Because that happens too. You got just keep going, keep being you and keep remembering that at any time YOU COULD STILL BE WRONG. We do the best we can as we go.

Just in case you're interested in reading some of the type of stuff I get there is a thread going here in the Articles section which has transcriptions of a straight info-delivery communication as well as question-and-answer type stuff. You may be interested to see how this works for me.

Other than that feel free to shoot with questions. I'll help as I can until Annu is back from her holiday. I'm sure she'll be able to help you stax.

Hi there Tamarama,



Cool, glad you read the article, although, I figure it's time I write a part two, as I have some new insights since I wrote that. I hope it helped you a bit!

You know I have been talking to animals telepathically for years...yet I don't refer to myself as an "animal communicator". I feel like it's just one of the things I enjoy doing and I really try not to label myself as one thing or another because who knows...some day I might want to be a plant psychologist or something...one never knows.

I think it's really awesome you are learning to do this. It certainly is a learned skill, and not a "gift" as many refer to it. I firmly believe that with all of these so called "gifts" a bit of practice and believing in yourself means anyone can do it.

The best bit of advice I could give would be to really take the first thought, feeling, impression you get. Really don't try too hard at all to receive, because if you're trying to receive you are not being open and relaxed FOR receiving. If that makes sense? I think it's true with many things that if you try too hard you won't have the best results...if you KNOW you are going to receive (believe in the process and in your ability to do it), then clear your mind and allow a thought/feeling/word to enter it seems to happen much more naturally. I find that first thing in the morning is the best time to connect, but any time of day works as long as you have some quiet and peace. I also prefer to NOT look directly at the animal when I'm "talking" to them and seem to do better all together when the animal is far away or not in my vicinity. I think I get distracted trying to read the animals body language or something like that. Not sure, but when I talk to my animals I make sure I am not looking at them or I close my eyes and sit next to them or something.

Also, I am discovering that there is really a few ways I am communicating here. Some of it is telepathic, but some of it seems to be a little different, like I am getting information off the "grid" (the interconnected spirit-web we all connect to) and sometimes it's a direct connect thing to the animal. Anyhow, Zingdad and I were discussing this yesterday, and decided that it's probably best to not attempt to intellectualize this and find a scientific process to describe it...because it really does seem to be a different experience for everyone and depending on the animal, questions, circumstances can be totally different from situation to situation. All I know is that it seems to work and I enjoy doing it.

For me it came pretty naturally, and I realized that if I thought back, there were many many times where I was communicating but didn't realize it. I think we ALL do this sort of on a subconscious level. Once we realize it's available to us we can bring it into our conscious awareness THEN practice, practice, practice!

Not sure if any of that helps or not! Let me know if there's any more questions you have.

Have fun!
Annu

Thanks, you guys! it's been a while but I wanted to let you know that you both have been an inspiration & help to me with your in-depth replies.

I did finally have a surprising AC breakthrough last summer. It was not ambiguous at all, in fact it was intense and even a little overwhelming. To be honest, it spooked me a little. It wasn't anything my animals said, it was just the intensity of emotion I felt from them (all three at once) and the sheer 'weirdness' of recieving communication in that way. Beware of what you wish for because you just might get it.

I've taken a break from practicing since then. I'm not sure if I can even get to that level of communication again but finally I feel ready to try. I just need to figure out how to turn down the volume!
