Introduction

This e-book is not intended to be a substitute for a veterinarian’s care. This e-book
instructs animal caregivers about typical animal fears or discomforts and how to
communicate with their animals to discover hidden fears that may cause specific
misbehavior or wellness issues. The human caregiver, knowing the animal’s
discomfort, can then provide better care for the animal.

Animals, like humans, often have negative emotions and fears trapped in their energy
systems, as a result of traumas they’ve suffered. These trapped emotions can manifest
into physical or behavioral issues if not released.

By learning animal communication, you can find the hidden reasons for their
undesirable behavior, finicky eating or whatever is driving you, their human caregiver,
crazy!

You can try the animal communication techniques to connect with your pet whenever
you feel ready to begin. You might be amazed at the immediate results!

This e-book was written for the animals and those who love them. The
techniques are powerful. Use them at your own risk.

Wishing you and your precious animals much happiness and healing,

Top 10 Reasons to Communicate with Animals

Communicating with our Animal Friends can be used to:

1. Strengthen the bond between you and your animal

2. Identify which fear or negative emotion is causing your pet’s illness or


misbehavior

3. Verify that the animal’s fear is completely gone and the animal feels safe so the
healing or obedient behavior can begin

4. Find out the animal’s needs, such as specific food, toys and exercise then
enhance their quality of life

5. Assure an animal who becomes anxious when s/he sees suitcases being packed
that you’ll be coming soon and they’ll be well cared for by another human

6. Check in with your animals while you are on a vacation or business trip to ensure
they are healthy and happy

7. Let your animals know that you are on your way home from work, vacation or just
leaving for a few hours

8. Contact a lost or stolen animal and ask for descriptions of their surroundings

9. Communicate with wild animals to understand their lives and if you can help

10. Give your animals a way to have some control and choices in their lives, like all
beings need

Discovering Your Animals’ Comfort Zones

"The lesson for animal caregivers is this: Do your utmost to help your
pet remain in or return to his Comfort Zone.”

-- Franklin D. McMillan, D.V.M., Author of Unlocking the Animal Mind

Animals experience positive and negative emotions that affect their health and behavior,
just like humans do. When animals feel uneasy for any reason, they have left their
comfort zones, usually NOT by choice but because of something humans have done.

By learning animal communication, you can discover your animal’s comfort zone
and know when they’re feeling discomfort or afraid. You will understand their
reasons for acting out or feeling ill, then take appropriate action.

Dr. McMillan (author of above quote) has helped thousands of animals and was
nicknamed the Veterinarian to the Hollywood Stars. He defines an animal’s comfort
zone as “a mental place in the animal’s adapted environment in which s/he is relatively
free from discomfort”.

Any animal’s primary goal is to return to the comfort zone as soon as possible in any
way necessary, including:

Destroying your property or running away from you


Overeating, finicky eating or not eating
Aggression or shyness
Regaining your attention by illness
Getting attention by bad behavior.

Animal Fears Outside The Comfort Zone


Does your animal have physical or emotional issues? Think about your animal’s issues
and what might be causing them. The symptom may be aggression, disobedience or a
physical pain or condition but the core issue is likely a fear:

Fear of not being safe (the number one fear of most animals)
Fear of failure (to be a good animal or perform well and please you)
Fear of rejection or abandonment (by previous owners or you)
Fear of success (such as being adopted, leaving their comfort zone)
Fear that the frightening conditions will never end, such as being in a stressful
environment for a long time as a stray, re-homed or abandoned and left in a
shelter

Allergies Can Take Animals Out of Their Comfort Zone

Animals, like children, may act out because they are suffering from allergies,
sensitivities or intolerances. They don’t know what’s wrong; they just know that they
feel extremely uncomfortable or like jumping out of their skin.

Animals’ immune systems know that chemicals are harmful to their bodies and may
react to things we think are harmless such as:

Food or food containers/packaging


Toys, especially plastic
Collars or harnesses
Shampoo, flea and tick treatments
Plastic or metal bowls
Cleaning agents used in their sleeping area
Fertilizers or pesticides applied to grass, in your home or parks
Seasonal pollens and airborne pollutants
Medications, natural or pharmaceutical
Surgeries, the anesthesia, medical instruments used

If you correct an allergic condition, you can help an animal return to its comfort zone.

Specific Animal Stressors

Are you still wondering about the fears causing your pet’s condition?

When I ask my human clients to tell me if any changes have recently occurred in the
household that might stress out their animals, they often reply “None.” Later I find out
that they’ve moved to a new home, a new animal or human has been brought into the
home or left the home. Change takes animals out of their comfort zone.

Imagine trading places with your pet for a day or longer.

What would you have to look forward to each day?

What would you like to be different in your living conditions?

What do you think would improve your animal’s quality of life?

Animal Behavior Facts

Most animals do NOT like change; any change in an animal’s environment is


frightening.

Your pet may not display fearful behavior when brought home or after a change
happened. Their instincts tell them that to act afraid will make them
vulnerable to attack by predators.

The animal’s energy system may have blocks in it that are layers then triggered
again with each change that the animal experiences.

Their senses of hearing, smell and sight are far better than ours. Animals may
act out to things that terrify them but we cannot sense.

Animal Discomfort Zones


Animal’s discomfort may be due to things we humans would never consider such as:

Not having a safe place of their own to hide and be alone


Too much time spent alone, feeling unloved and unwanted
Fears about a human or animal that is extremely ill or dying
Unresolved grief over the loss of an animal or human friend or family member
Too little time each day doing enjoyable activities such a playing and exercise
Not enough variety in their environment, never or rarely allowed to go outside
Human stress, yelling, fighting or anger in the household, loud music or TV
Moving to a new home; new humans or animals in the home
Being bullied by humans or other animals, mistreated by children
Hearing loud or shrill frightening noises, unusual sights or smells, inside or
outside the residence
Built up energy and anxiety due to not getting enough exercise each day
Being bored, feeling worthless and/or not having a “job” or something to look
forward to each day

TIP: Animals need mental stimulation just like humans do.

Mind-Body Connection Applies to Animals, too!


Still feeling puzzled about what might be causing your pet’s condition? Consult any
mind-body connection literature that was written for humans and you may find hints to
the emotions causing your animal companions’ conditions.

Louse L. Hay’s books, “You Can Heal Your Life” or “Heal Your Body A-Z: The Mental
Causes for Physical Illness and the Way to Overcome Them” (Hay House Publishers)
are my favorite sources and available through the “Products” web page on my site:
www.EmoRescue.com.

I’ve found that animals store their fears in body parts and manifest physical
illnesses just like we do, for example:

Arthritis: not feeling loved by the owner or good enough


Bladder: Problems: anxiety or anger, fear of failure to be safe
Cancer: feeling useless, many years of unresolved fears
Car Sickness: afraid, feeling trapped and unsafe
Ear Problems: trying not to hear the turmoil at home
Eye Problems: afraid to see what’s happening at home
Fat: overeating to release anxiety, fears of not being safe
Feet Problems: fear of being unsafe while moving forward in life
Hips: nothing to look forward to, no work or daily job
Joint Problems: fear of being unsafe due to changes in the home
Legs: fear of failure to be safe while walking this frightening path in life
Seizures: fear layers overloading the energy system until it shuts down
Stomach: Problems: fear of change, feeling frightened much of the time

Animals Love Us Unconditionally.


Our animals may take on our STRESS, fears and diseases
In an attempt to keep us alive and well.
Keep yourself and family health to protect your pets, too!

You CAN Talk with Your Animal Friends!

If you’ve read the previous pages, you now know WHAT issues may be making your
animal friend feel unsafe and out of their comfort zone.

Give yourself and your beloved pets the gift of communication to know how they
feel about their lives, their names, their food and their comfort zones.

Fears or Objections to Animal Communication

Got objections or fears about communicating with your animals? Maybe you’re saying
to yourself that:

You’re not intuitive about anything


You’ve tried to communicate with your pet but it didn’t work
You’re afraid of what your pet will tell you about how you’ve treated them
You’re anxious that your pets will never stop talking, or nagging you for food
and attention
You’re afraid to try to communicate with your pet as you’re fearful what other
humans will say or think

I had some of these fears, too. I decided that the ability to converse with my animal
clients to help them was far more important, so I released all my fears. When I thought
about being an effective animal communicator and felt excited rather than anxious, I
knew I was ready to begin.

The very next day, I experimented by communicating with the wild animals on my
morning desert walk. It worked!

Am pleased to report that animals are often more polite than humans and rarely talk to
humans unless the human initiates the conversation first.

You’re Already Communicating with Your Animal Friends!

Most pet owners believe that their animals understand some or maybe all of their
feelings and words. Many animal communicators confirm that pets can see the pictures
in our minds and also send mental images to communicate with us.

Animal problems can worsen if you focus on and imagine the animal’s
misbehavior instead of the solution.

Your animal friend likely saw that image and may have taken it as a command or
suggestion from you. The animal may be very puzzled as to why they are
punished when you get home for doing something you requested of them.

When training an animal, focus on what you want them to do and don’t think
about any past mistakes. Better yet, consciously SEND PICTURES to your
animals in a gentle, kind, love way of what you’d like them to do.

For example:

Have you ever been going home from a long day at work and imagined
with dread that the cat or dog has chewed your shoes again or eliminated on
the carpet…then come home to find it really happened?

You have an animal with aggression problems toward other animals. As


soon as another animal approaches, you feel anxious and tense imagining
the confrontation that might occur. Suddenly your animal exhibits aggressive
behavior…just like you’d imagined s/he would.

You come home or visit the stables unexpectedly, eagerly imagining


greeting your animal friend and going for a walk or ride or having a cuddle.
Another person in the home or stables comments how uncanny it is that the
animal always knows when you’re stopping by, no matter what time it is!

You’ve been exchanging pictures with your pet for years and didn’t even realize it!

Mental Image Animal Communication via Pictures


I’ve successfully communicated with animal friends via mental pictures using these
steps:

1. Release ANY fears or anxieties you have about communicating with animals.

2. Spend a few minutes of quiet time de-stressing from any fears or anxiety you
have from the office or life in general. When relaxed, approach your animal.
Spend some quality alone-time with your animal, telling your animal friend how
much you love and appreciate him or her.

3. If comfortable, visualize an energy link of pure love flowing from your heart to
the animal’s heart. Feel the tender, warm love flowing between you both.

4. Ask the animal’s permission to communicate with you by pictures. If s/he


stays in your company that means you’ve been granted permission and the
animal is ready to exchange pictures. Most animals are thrilled to finally
communicate with their human friends.

5. Keep a completely OPEN MIND and KNOW that your pet CAN see the pictures
in your mind. S/he may understand your words then communicate back to you
by phrases, feelings, noises, visions, colors or symbols.

6. State your intention to the animal, e.g., I don’t want to control you through this
communication. I want to help you feel better. I want to understand what I can
do to make your life more joyful, playful and healthy.

7. When you first begin your communications, consider starting out with the
below first few easy questions for you both. You would ask the question, imagine
the answer and send it in an imaginary bubble to your pet.

What is your favorite food? What is your favorite toy?


Who is your favorite animal or human friend?
What is your favorite activity? What is your least favorite activity?
Do you like to be groomed? Where do you like to be petted?
Are you feeling any pain in your body? If so, where is this pain?
Do you feel fear in your body or mind? What or who is causing this fear?

I’ve been
waiting to
talk with you
forever!

8. Remain silent and alert for an answer that may come via:

A mental picture reply from your pet, such as a picture of a toy, food or
being groomed
Words echoing in your mind such as “Help me! I’m afraid! My back leg
hurts when I walk!”
A twisting or pulling in your torso or throat or other body part, which may
indicate fear or illness
A feeling of weakness or sudden energy drain, which is how the animal
feels
A brief stab of pain or wave of nausea, which may indicate where the illness
is located

How do you know that you’re not “making up” your answer? Intuitive answers
usually have one or more of the below characteristics:

Accompanied by an absolute feeling of certainty that this is the truth


Immediate, often before you even completely thought the question
A strange message or words you would never have thought of yourself

9. When you’ve gathered the information you need from your animal, thank him or
her for their help and tell the animal how much you appreciate their
communicating with you and how much you love him or her.

10. Disconnect your heart energy from theirs. This is necessary so you don’t
exchange feelings and energy until your next communication session.

TIP: You may want to immediately write down everything you experienced during
the communication exchange as you may have several issues to follow-up on,
including a change of name or food variety, a veterinarian visit.

and cuddle
more when you
come home?

Animal Communication Experiences


I had the below experiences shortly after I began my animal communication
experimentation. You can have immediate success, too!

Silky the Pigeon


While walking outside for exercise one morning I saw a large apricot-colored pigeon
strutting in the street. I wondered what pigeons think about and decided to try out my
new skills.

As I mentally started to ask, “What’s your n—“, a high, female voice replied, “Silky. I am
Silky.” I’d assumed the bird was male and I would never name a bird Silky.

Based on those facts and that the reply came before I even asked the question, I knew
the answer came from the pigeon.

Shane the Orange Tomcat


During another of my morning walks outside, I noticed a large tabby tomcat stalking
doves in a front yard. I’d seen the cat for years, but he was very wary of humans and
always ran into bushes whenever he saw me. Today was no exception.

I decided to see what was on his mind, why he always ran from me.

I pictured myself during one of my volunteer stints at the local Humane Society’s cat
room, petting, brushing and feeding treats to cats and kittens. I sent an imaginary
bubble with my pictures to the cat’s mind to let him know I meant no harm to him.

Immediately his head popped out from the bushes, a quizzical look in his eyes. I sent
another bubble picture to him of me petting him while he felt safe and loved.

He ran up to me! I think we were both surprised as he rubbed up against my legs and
let me pet him. Now, whenever this tomcat sees me, he either runs up to me to be
petted or rolls over on the sidewalk in my path, mewing in anticipated pleasure of my
petting him. He told me his name is Shane, a name I’d never give a cat.

Thank you Silky and Shane for mentoring this human on animal communication!

Top Twelve Tips to Successful Animal Communication

1. CLEAR YOUR ENERGY SYSTEM: Use any energy clearing modality to release
any doubts, blockages or negative emotions that may arise about your ability or
worthiness to connect to your animal’s energy system and talk with them or
exchange pictures.

2. PRACTICE OFTEN: Similar to learning a foreign language, practice is necessary


to improve your animal communication skills. With correct preparation, intent and
environment, your skills should improve dramatically.

3. BE SPECIFIC: The more specific you are with your questions, the more likely
you will receive correct answers.

4. ASK PERMISSION: Always request permission from your animal to be allowed


to communicate with them.

5. STAY HYDRATED: Drink plenty of water, which conducts your body’s electric
energy and provides a solid connection with body, mind and spirit.

6. SHOW RESPECT: Use "Please" and "Thank you" and “I love you, my friend!”

7. RESPECT THEIR SPACE: Request information, don't demand it. Animals have
bad days like we do and may not want to communicate. If the animal doesn’t
seem interested, try again later or the next day.

8. STAY CENTERED: Maintain an objective, positive, loving mindset to keep you


centered.

9. STAY FOCUSED: Concentrate on the question you are asking rather than the
possible answers.

10. BE COMFORTABLE: Encourage accurate results by removing or loosening belts


or tight clothing that crosses or constricts the waist and torso.

11. REMOVE ELECTRONICS: Wristwatches and cell phones may result in


miscommunications.

12. BREATHE: Take a few deep breaths before you begin then use the power of
your breath to keep yourself centered and relaxed.
