the animal communicator

craigslist ad:

Do you ever wonder what your animal or equine friend was thinking? Do you wish you could deepen your relationship with your furry friend? Do have questions you would like answered? Animal Communication may be able to bridge these gaps and deepen your relationship. Readings can be done in person, on the phone, or over the internet. I communicate with animals who are living and those who are in spirit as well. Group rates and parties are now also available. Please email with any question.

Hello:

I'm interested in speaking to my pets, but I'm skeptical about whether it really works. This is for real, right? It's not just a for-entertainment-only thing?

Thanks, Beth

Hi Beth,

Thanks for contacting me. I do have a good record for seeing changes in animals and for knowing things that I should not know otherwise. I can give you references if you need them. That being said, for legal purposes it is listed under entertainment only. I will enclose my legal disclaimer which is for your and my protection. I charge $25 for a half hour for phone or internet readings and $40 for an hour. For in person visits I charge $60 and price can go up if I have to travel more than 20 miles. In person readings are typically an hour to an hour and a half. As far as the internet readings go, I do not charge until after we are finished, so if you are unsatisfied for any reason, then I will not charge you.

I have enclosed my Mission Statement and Disclaimer. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Peace and Blessings,

Animal Communication is a form of telepathy that can be done through distance and time. It is my belief that every living creature has a spirit and free will. Animal Communication  is a way to strengthen your relationship with your animal companion through a better understanding of each other and open and honest discussion. It can be used as a problem solving tool for behavior issues through a clarification of expectations and negotiation. Animal Communications is not a training method and can not force an animal to do something he or she does not want.  I have seen many amazing changes in animals who feel heard and understood. It is my belief that love, patience, and communication can bridge many obstacles in our lives.

Hmm. The issue is that I want to do a trial communicating with animals to convince them to agree to certain tests. If this works it may set a legal precedent for commercial animal communication. But if you list your service as for entertainment, it may nullify the result in terms of us being allowed to do the tests. Could you remove that clause temporarily for this project?

Hi Beth,

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. I generally work with animals and their owners to help solve problems and help deepen their relationship. I'm not sure Animal Communication will ever be considered "legally sound" but anecdotally it has helped people's relationship with their animals. I also strongly believe that all living creatures have a soul and free will. Animal Communication is not a training process and can not force an animal to do something it does not want to. However, by explaining clearly the how's and why's of what you desire, sometimes opens their hearts and minds to the process.

So when a drug company, for instance, does trials on humans, they require informed consent. The humans need to agree to be a part of the experiment. I think that a talented Animal Communicator could possibly get something similar from animals, potentially by explaining that if the animal participates its young will be taken care of or something similar. Does this make sense?

----

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable being a part of animal experimentation. Especially if it involves cruelty or mistreatment. I don't think I will be able to help you.

----

Well one aspect of the communication would be to know if we were hurting them. Until now, animals have had no voice in the entire process.

----

What kind of research are you doing?

I'm sorry, I don't think I can support any experiment that intentionally or unintentionally harms animals. If the animals were in distress would you stop the experimentation? Do you work with people who are concerned about the welfare of the animals?

I would be surprised if any Communicator would want to be involved in this kind of work. Many of us are empaths. We want to stop suffering of animals, not knowingly subject them to more.

----

We're doing experimental research of a highly ethics-free nature. We work with natural, herbal medications.

One aspect of this could be this: if an animal died, we could find out if and where it felt pain. This could prevent future suffering (FE: if we knew a subject had stomach pain, it could save the lives of other animals). But rarely are the results so drastic. Herbal medication is rarely very strong. In cases where a medication caused pain, we might infer that it would never make a good human medication and stop the trial.

I'm surprised too that we would consider working with Communicators. But in this economy, I have had many strange bedfellows.

----

I appreciate that you are looking into Communication as way to give your subjects a voice, but I'm not sure it will help you in the way that you hope. First of all, even if I did describe how the animal says he/she feels, there is really no scientific way to prove it. You can measure their vitals as an indication of pain or distress, but I imagine you already are doing this.

The "proof" in Animal Communication is seen in changes in the animal's behavior. For instance, if I work with a dog who barks excessively or pees on the rug every time the owner goes to work, I would begin the session trying to find out why. The dog may tell me about some past trauma of being abandoned, or maybe the fear of being alone, or maybe something else that is even more surprising (each animal is truly individual). So I would work with the owner and the dog to resolve some of the dog's worries. Maybe the dog wants the owner to tell him when the owner will be home before the owner leaves. Maybe the dog wants the radio on. Maybe he wants the radio off. We work to find a solution both parties are comfortable with. Many times the behavior just improves when the animal feels heard. Then I'll get an email a week later saying that Fido is a 'new dog' and has noticeably less anxiety when the owner leaves and doesn't pee on the rug any more.

I worked with a horse who was so afraid of having shoes put on, he needed to be sedated! This is unusual for a seven year old horse. After chatting with him, we realized he had no understanding of the how's and why's of the process. After clearing that up and meeting a few simple requests he had, he never needed sedation again. The next time the farrier came, he actually was so relaxed he started to fall asleep.

But I had a case recently where the dog said 'NO". An elderly lady adopted a dog from a Shelter. They were not well suited for each other for a lot of reasons. The Shelter should have never let this lady take this dog. Anyway, the first time she takes the dog out to pee, the dog high-tails out of there. I was contacted to help find the dog. The dog basically tells me she doesn't like the old lady because among other things, she smells bad and had tremors. The dog is also upset and confused that she was brought to the Shelter in the first place. The dog says "No Way" that she'll go back to the old lady. We're all worried about the dog being lost during the heat wave. Finally she allows herself to be found by the SPCA. The old lady adopts another (hopefully more suitable) dog instead and we're all hoping the lost dog has more 'say' in the next home she goes to.

These are the kinds of stories that I have from my work. They really aren't measurable except in the way the behaviors change. I would doubt the Scientific Community would ever really accept telepathy as hard science and it's very difficult to explain how AC works metaphysically. Some people really believe it's a lot of hooey or that it's a result of subtle shifts in energy in the owner because they believe that it works. I realize that it is not a very logical thing and most people don't even believe that animals are capable of complex thoughts or feelings. To that I have no good argument other than the miracles I have seen in the lives of my own animals, my friends' animals, and my clients'.  AC is not something that is exclusive to a select few people either. We are all capable of communicating. It takes a little practice and may seem unnatural to many people, but we all can do it. It's more about the purity of your intentions and your desire to help. Again something that is not measurable. I imagine that people who work in Herbal Medicine are more on the fringes of the Scientific Community to begin with. I'm curious how the idea came up to contact a Communicator.

There's a wonderful book called "Straight From the Horse's Mouth" by Amelia Kinkade that attempts to explain the metaphysics behind AC. There is another book by Martha Williams "Ask Your Animal" that is very user friendly for the beginner.

In researching herbal medication, we've found that we have to accept different notions of proof. And some cases show us that anecdotal evidence can be more powerful than traditional scientific evidence.

You're right that herbal medication lies on the fringes of science. In some sense we are outsiders. But a measure of maverick mentality must be employed to take on the medical establishment.

We think that non-traditional medicine stacks up against the alternatives, and we seek to prove this -- to our standards -- with Animal Communication. By understanding animal reactions, we could usher in a new paradigm of understanding the effects of medication.

What do you think?

I have a few questions then, what kinds of animals are you testing on? Are they mice and rats? or something else? Is this herbal medicine for animal or human use? What kinds of herbs are we talking about? Are there any legal implications for myself? What exactly do you want me to do? You are aware I have no veterinary backround? I am NOT a vet. Are you asking me to state "No animals were harmed in the testing of this product?" How much time will this involve and how and what are you offering to pay me? Are there other communicators working on this project and are there other projects that utilize communicators? I can only give you my impression. I can not guarantee any specific results. Sorry about so many questions, but this an unique request for me.

We're currently investigating a cancer-preventing herb from Tibet. For corporate-secrecy reasons I cannot give you the name at this time. As I'm sure you know, many products on the herbal market decrease the likelihood of cancer or mitigate its effects. But this product has a hook: we deliver it as a shampoo.

In the past, we tried to bring a product to market as a shampoo. Once we got to stage-3 testing -- human trials -- we found that the product caused searing pain in the eyes. Some of us feel that, with animal communication, we could have detected this earlier and avoided the costs of that trial's fallout.

We'll have to consider the pay-scale. Usually, for contractors, we use incentive-laden deals. In herbal markets, a product either takes off or it doesn't. Buzz and word of mouth contribute and sometimes a product will spread like a virus. Other times, it may languish on shelves and become another ginko mushishi (and we all know THAT story).

How much time it will take depends on how fast you can complete the job. For instance, how long would it take to talk to twenty mice?

Beth,

I think I'm going to pass on this one, but I wish you well. Something about this doesn't sit right with me and I have too many concerns. I think I'll stick with family pets and finding lost animals. I hope you can find a Communicator who is a good fit for your project. Thanks again for thinking of me and I would be happy to help you or your family with your pets in the future.

Peace and Blessings,
M______

Too bad. I was hoping we could avoid blinding another kid by understanding the animals. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they can even see without Communication.

If you had your choice, what would be your dream herbal product to work on?

----

I don`t know, I`m really not that into herbalism or Chinese Medicine. I use Grape Seed extract personally for my sinuses and I feed my mare raspberry leaves to help her with her heat cycles, but that is about the extent of my use. I`m not sure anyone will believe a shampoo can prevent cancer though. It would be wonderful if it could, but I don`t think we absorb all that much through our scalps. It`s possible you are right, but I think you may have a hard time marketing it.  I wish you luck in your project though.

----

Actually, the one area where we use science to do our research is market research. We were skeptical when someone had this idea too, but it turns out that a large segment of the population does believe that shampoo can prevent cancer. And this entire segment lies within the herbal-product-purchasing subpopulation.

Might I ask: how did you get turned on to GSE?
