Reisa Stone: How to Prepare for an Animal Communication Session
To get the most out of your Animal Communication session, it's important to be prepared. Five to fifteen minutes before our appointment, sit still and relax completely, clearing your mind as best you can. Breathe breathe breathe!
Have all distractions turned off, such as TV, radio and cell phone.
Your pet doesn't have to be with you, but it can be fun and informative to watch their behavior. Ilet them know I'll be tuning in, and it helps if you tell them, too. Let them know they have your approval to communicate.
Be open to hearing things you didn't expect. Though breeds can share certain traits, each animal is an individual. There are timid Dobermans, Warmblood horses that hate jumping, and Siamese who love everyone they meet. Animals have colour preferences (yes, they can see colour---or at least sense its energy), crave unusual foods, and worry about things that wouldn't occur to you. They're sometimes hilariously funny, and have insights about family members that will amuse and enlighten you.
Let go of animal stereotypes, and honour your pet's individuality. Not every dog enjoys "fetch," not all cats hate water, and not every horse comes running to the sound of oats in a bucket. The more openly you are willing to listen and regard your pet as an individual, the more openly they'll communicate and possibly change unwelcome behaviors.
Don't argue with your pet. Because animals' senses are so acute, things we don't notice can be overwhelming for them. If your cat says she hates the new couch, "But it cost $3000!" won't change her mind. She doesn't know from money, she may be reacting to chemical off-gases or a slippery surface. When we listen with empathy, animals open themselves more fully.
Participate in the discussion. Make the most of your session. Ask questions and comment.
Don't play "stump the telepath." It's beneath your dignity and mine. There have been a scant hand full of times in my 30+ years of reading, when I couldn't get a clear picture. The person or animal did not want to connect. That is their right, under the Universal Law of Free Will. However, in most cases I found that though I was getting a clear flow of information, the person objected. Only to later admit they were too uncomfortable to admit a certain fact.
Appreciate that animals are acutely aware of relationship dynamics, and can be our great teachers. If there is tension in a close relationship, your pet may act it out. On the other hand, if there is great love, they may be unusually clingy. Animals live in a heightened state of awareness. They're not distracted with jobs, Facebook or grocery shopping.
Relax, focus and open yourself to what your companion wants to communicate. Sometimes it's mundane, sometimes it's profound. It's always informative. Animals can be our spiritual teachers, if we let them.
Warm regards,
