Animal Communication



I was recently watching Cesar Millan (Dog Whisperer) working with an “animal communicator”  who could read her dog, but could not  “talk” to him, at least not in ways the dog understood.  I was struck by behaviors I have seen quite often—we humans want everyone and everything  to understand and accept what we say, from our perspective. In psychology we call this being egocentric, and it is a developmental stage common in a 2 year old (You have to laugh , no ?).    

Animal communicators can understand what animals say however do not assume s/he has the skill  to then talk to the animals in ways that have meaning for THEM.  For example, one can do a Reading for someone who only speaks Farsi, but then may not be able to communicate in a meaningful fashion to that person—as:  1) We don’t speak Farsi  and,  2) Without understanding the culture, we are not able to address the priorities that dominate that culture’s paradigm.  Therefore our message becomes irrelevant and meaningless to the person.

So while understanding a horse, cat, dog, snake, we also then need to know what is important to the individual animal and we need to know what is important to the species. It is a different skill to be able use the animal's chosen language of communication, not ours.  In addition, when doing animal readings, the humans involved have to be read as well. Each person (fur, feather, scale, along with the hairless apes) adds in an energy to all the interactions.  Like family therapy, pet ownership is a system of relationships….. it is never just the problem of the pet (unless it is a medical condition).  

When finding an animal psychic, I want to make sure that person knows how to translate information into the perspective of the animal. I do not want to just appease the owner.  It is hard to tell an owner that the problem they are experiencing is that s/he is expecting the animal to be what they want the animal to be or that the owner unrealistically wants the animal to want everything the owner wants.  

Imagine telling a horse owner the horse does NOT LIKE horse shows when the owner got the horse just for that reason!  Many animal owners do not realize getting an animal family member is like getting married—tons of compromise to get along, and lots of energy needed to find out what makes the other happy --  not just one’s self.

Animal Readings can fix problems, but , the whole picture needs to be addressed.  If we fix an animal’s behavior problem, however the animal is not (for example)  getting enough exercise, it is cruel (in my mind) to ask the animal to adapt to being a slave and live under conditions that are only good for the human.

If you get a Reading for your animal, make sure you are ready to correct yourself, and that you will be willing to make changes (even if inconvenient to you) that will help your animal receive what s/he needs to have a good life as a species!

Trauma Bonding in Friendships

Trauma bonding in friendships Signs of Trauma Bonding When you continue to be fixated on people who hurt you and who are no longer in your life. When you crave contact with someone who has hurt you and who you know will cause you more pain. When you continue to revolve around people who you know are taking advantage of you or exploiting you. When you are committed to remaining loyal to someone who has betrayed you, even though their actions indicate few signs of change. When you are desperate to be understood, validated, or needed by those who have indicated they do not care about you. When you go to great lengths to continue to help, care-take, or consider people who have been destructive to you. There is a constant pattern of nonperformance. Your friend or partner continues to make promises only to break them consistently. There might be a boatload of apologies however there is no change in their act

Wong Loh (Huang-Lao): The Teacher

Image
Dr. Marie is an Initiated Student who has been with Wong Loh Sin See since 1986 . While she has studied many other modalities (shamanism, pagan, remote healing systems, nature spirits, crystals, life between lives regressions, animal communication, psychic talents, oracle cards and more) she considers Wong Loh her primary Teacher and with great respect and gratitude incorporates his philosophies and methods of meditation into all of her teachings and work with Students as well as Healings. You will see in these writings this "warning": No one else can claim to be assisting the Teacher as his representative. The Teacher himself is the only one who can make this acknowledgement. Both Wong Loh and Leong Tan have publicly acknowledged (in workshops and retreats) Dr. Marie's teachings and students in her area were instructed to continue their development by studying with her if they desired to eventually initiate with Wong Loh . The material presented here is the o

The Wounded Vulnerable Narcissist

Image
The Wounded Vulnerable Narcissist Many people are very self-critical and most, while acknowledging   they might indeed feel this way “sometimes”,   seem to be reluctant to do any work on these feelings or behaviors, other than “being positive” about themselves. And usually this means that “being positive” is the generic feel good kind of “thing” rather than being specific and realistic. Generic feel good statements (given either through self –talk or as complements from friends and new age teachers) are really not useful other than a quick hit of feel good emotions and perhaps as a distraction from some current uncomfortable emotions or challenges. For some reason, people seem to feel that if they actually go into their feelings, rather than continuing to bury them and attempting to live on top of what will become a self-perpetuating swamp land, that they are now being “negative” or perhaps will in fact “manifest” negativity (all the new age nonsense jargon).   People speaking in
