5 tips to prepare for an animal communication session

Dec 11

Hearing what your animals have to share with you about what they are feeling and wanting, and what life is like from their perspective can be powerfully life changing. Intuitively communicating with your animals during a session is truly a sacred experience.
Here are my top 5 tips to get the most from your session with your animal friends.

Hello Dear Intuitive One,

Animal communication sessions give you and your animals the support to step out of the busyness of life and into the heart and soul space of sharing, listening and really understanding one another on profoundly deep levels.

Whether this is your first animal communication session ever (yeah for being brave and trying something new!), or if you’ve worked with an animal communicator before, there are FIVE things I suggest you do to prepare to get the most from your session with your animal friends.

1. Tell your animals about the session

Starting a few days before your conversation, please tell your animal (even animals who are deaf) in your own words out loud about the session. When talking with them, look them in the eyes, relax your breathing and speak from your heart.

Be sure to let your animal friend know why you have booked an animal communication session (example: to understand how they are feeling or to get to the bottom of behavior issues in order to help them live their best life.) This will help them know what to expect and what it is you want to talk with them about.

Give your animal friends permission to speak to me during their session. Tell them that whatever it is they have to share with you, will help you find a solution, to help them feel better.

Telling them about the session will also give your pet a heads up, so they will know to have their “intuitive ringer” on for their session! :)

2. Have your questions ready

Hearing what your pets are feeling and thinking is wonderfully amazing! So wonderful in fact, it can be easy to forget important questions during a session. I encourage you to give yourself the time before your session to write down your questions in the order of importance what you want to ask your animal friends. If you would like a little help knowing what to ask and how, you will find some helpful tips on asking questions on my blog post, “Four questions to ask your pet in every an animal communication session”. You’ll find that post by following this link

As you're getting your questions ready, remember that animal communicators are not allowed to diagnose medical conditions, nor can we prescribe medical treatment or medicine. I bet you're getting tired of hearing me talk about this! Here’s the thing though, the idea that animal communication is a suitable replacement for veterinary care, is of the biggest misconceptions about what animal communication is about, second only to the myth that I (or your pet) can predict the future. If you know anything about me, I bet you know that maintaining the ethics and integrity of this work are wicked important to me. So let’s leave the diagnosis and medical care in the trustworthy hands of trained veterinarians.

AND…. with all THAT said, while we obviously CAN’T ask them questions like, “Do you have a budging disk?”, we CAN ask them questions like, “Tell me about what your back feels like when you jump in the car..” So when jotting down your questions, it’s okay to ask, “Tell me about what your feeling” and “Tell me your preferences as to how we provide with treatment or not” questions. Because THIS is where animal communication can help you know what your animals feel and want so you can make informed choices for their care.

3. Have a quiet place to cozy in for our call

Time to communicate with your animal friends is special and sacred. When choosing where to be, I encourage you to find a quiet place without distractions, free of TV, radio and away from any noisy family members. For zoom sessions, close all other tabs on your computer when you log in for our meeting, taking special care to close all tabs that chime or bing when you get emails or notifications. If you’re connecting to zoom with your computer or Ipad, turn off your phone too! Speaking from my own experience here, the last thing you want is for your attention to be drawn away from the big soul wisdom your pet is sharing, by a notification chime about a work email.

If you are joining a zoom session on your phone, please find a way to prop up your phone, rather than holding it, so there is minimal movement of your phone. Too much movement can create a ton of visual distraction and make it challenging to tune in with your pets.

When choosing a physical place to be for your session, choose a place you can be comfortable, at ease and where you can be with your animals if possible. Things like driving, multitasking or having extra people popping by to casually listen to the call, will take away from your experience and potentially create distractions so I am unable to communicate clearly with your animals.

4. Be prepared to take notes

I don’t record sessions, but you are welcome to. If you’d like to record our zoom call, be sure to join from a computer (rather than your phone) and let me know at the start of your session and I can make that zoom recording magic happen!

Otherwise, it can be super handy to have a notepad and pen ready to take notes of the important, life -changing wise things, your animal friend wants to share. Animals have very insightful things to share about not only about their life and wise noticing of how they see the world. So much so, I am guessing you’re going to want a pen and paper handy!

5. Let your animals be themselves

It is okay to let your animal do what they normally would do. Hanging out in the quiet of the backyard, barn or sleeping during a session are all perfectly okay. It is best if your animal friend is quiet without a lot of distractions, so no epic games of chuck it or hunting mice in the garden while we are conversing with them! They can be in the same room as you, or not. OFTEN animals get really still during a session, some even fall deeply asleep. Not ALL animals, mind you, but many do. If your best animal friend tends to be a super busy bee let them. Chances are it wont take away from our call in the least. It is most important you are both comfortable for the duration of your session.

Lastly, if you're reading this because you already have a session booked with me… I want to say I am super excited to translate for your animal friends!! Here is to a powerful, clear communication with the animals in your life. It is my hope that our time together helps understand one another better so you can get the most from your time on this earth together.
