Interspecies Communication

Have you ever felt that you animal friend is trying to tell you something, but you just don't understand the language? Animals have feelings and thoughts, hopes and fears, just as we do. And they have always communicated with each other using telepathy as an important element in their range of interactive abilities. Human beings have the same telepathic capacity hard-wired into the brain, as indigenous peoples have demonstrated over the millennia. Although our culture typically discourages the use, or even the acknowledgement, of this ability, it can be cultivated by anyone.

This is the basis of interspecies communication. By talking to your animal in this way, a communicator can tell you about your friend’s viewpoint on physical condition, emotional concerns or behavioral issues. Sometimes you can even learn more about yourself and your life from the animals closest to you.

It's important to note that the communicator can only tell you about the animal's own viewpoint. Their view of things does not necessarily lead to the solutions to problems, nor is it veterinary advice. This is not a substitute for veterinary medicine.

What to Expect When Marilyn Talks to Your Animal Friend

When you hire someone to talk to your animal, having realistic expectations can help prevent disappointment. I hope that here you can learn something about what Animal Communications is, and what it is not.

Animal communications is not an exact science (by Western standards), nor is anyone completely accurate all the time. But you can expect that each communicator will take a common approach: We converse with animals telepathically, a form of communication with which all animals are familiar. They are telepathic with one another, and some of them wonder why we humans aren’t usually part of the telepathic network.

Each animal communicator has been trained differently, and each has some innate strengths, as well as areas where there is less skill. Animal communicators are working with a form of language; in a sense we are translators. And, although I am an empath who can feel what it’s like to be other people, I cannot read your mind or foretell the future.

Also, I am not a medium; that is, I do not have the ability to call on the spirits of people who have passed. However, animals have a perspective on themselves and their lives that allows me to contact them even after they have made a transition to the spirit world.

What I Can Do for You and Your Animal

I am a specialist in emotional and spiritual information, so when I talk with your animal, you can expect accuracy about your animal’s thoughts and feelings, and his perception of the spirit world. In the following paragraphs I'll give you some of the specifics of the process; elsewhere on this site you can find more information about my work.

Some communicators talk only in person, and, since telepathy is not location-dependent, some talk when not in the presence of the animal. I find that I have the clearest connection if, for the initial contact, neither I nor the animal is pressured by any performance expectations. I contact animals from a distance, not in person, and ask your animal, as a courtesy, if we may converse. Once permission is given (and it’s not always), I have a quiet chat with your animal, including the questions you have given me. For me, being in a quiet, meditative state during initial contact tends to increase clarity. Thereafter, if a good connection is made, you may ask follow-up questions in a three-way conversation with you, me, and your animal.

Confidentiality

In my practice, I find it’s very common for an animal companion in some way to be acting out or mirroring a problem that originates with the animal’s person, or someone else in the household. Because an animal may discuss an issue with me that is private, all conversations are considered confidential. You are free to discuss your session with anyone you like, but you can expect me to keep all aspects of the conversation between you and me (and your animal, of course).

Working with Behavior Problems

An animal communicator can’t make your animal change if he doesn’t want to. As with humans, an animal is often reacting in a reasonable way, from his position, to a difficult situation. After talking to your animal, I can help sort out where the problems lie, and also provide counseling to you and your animal friend if you wish.

Some problems with your animal can be fixed through animal communication; some problems cannot. But you can expect to get a point of view from your animal that explains his behavior. Sometimes just a conversation alone can clarify issues between a person and her animal, and the animal’s behavior improves.

Working with Physical Problems

It’s especially important to realize that, although your animal may not feel well, he is not a veterinarian, nor am I. Neither of us can answer any specific medical questions. Any medical concerns can be addressed only by an animal health care professional. But I can help you pinpoint an animal’s physical sensations. And I can offer certified Healing Touch for Animals treatments, hands-on or at a distance, as an adjunct to veterinary care. Click here to find out more.

When an Animal is Lost

Working to find lost animals is a specialty, and some communicators are experts. This is not my strongest field, so I recommend other communicators when I get calls about lost animals. At such a difficult time, I want you to get the best help you can find. Two communicators I recommend for helping to find lost animals are: Hilary Renaissance and Jacquelin Smith.

Fees

In my practice I ask for full payment only if you are satisfied that I have made a good connection with your animal. At this time I don’t take credit cards, but ask for a personal check or money order. The fee is $50 per consultation with one animal. This includes the initial contact, my report to you on the results (by phone, e-mail, or both), and any follow-up questions that occur to you once you hear what your animal has to say.

Many of your questions about animal communications, and Healing Touch for Animals, may be answered elsewhere on this site, especially in the Animal Communications FAQ and Healing Touch for Animals sections. If you have any further questions, though, about the processes that are not answered here, feel free to e-mail me here, or leave a message at 1-877-234-PAWS (7297).

How to Set Up an Appointment for Marilyn to Talk to Your Animal Friend

Here's what Marilyn will need, in advance, to talk to your animal:

Your name and contact information, and the address of the animal to be contacted.
Your animal's name, age, gender, breed, coloring and distinguishing physical characteristics, number of years with you, and where you got the animal. A photo is fine, but not required.
Your list of questions for the animal.

After Marilyn receives this information from you, she will talk to your animal from a distance, not in person. This first contact is made with Marilyn in a quiet, meditative setting. This helps in clearer communication and low stress for the animal (some animals are startled by this kind of contact at first). Then Marilyn will contact you for follow-up. This can be either by phone, E-mail, or snail mail. If by phone, you will be able to set up an appointment to call Marilyn for the results of the conversation.

You will have the opportunity for follow-up questions that result from your animal's responses. These follow-up questions will be considered part of the consultation.

For more information on how this works, see the Animal Communications FAQs in the Articles section.

Please note that Marilyn will only talk to your animal. It's against professional ethics to report of the thoughts and feelings of an animal who is in someone else's care (except in the case of wild, non-captive animals).

Marilyn has been talking with animals about their point of view since 2001. She has studied with Carol Gurney and Penelope Smith.
