Animal Confirmations

One of the things that I really enjoy during my animal communication sessions is when an animal helps out by confirming with their guardian that what I am saying is true.  It shows me how important it is to the animal that their guardian understands them and how much animals want to be heard.

Sometimes people are skeptical about whether or not I am really picking up something from their animal. I've noticed that when a guardian has a twinge of uncertainty over whether what I said is REALLY what their animal thinks or feels, their animal senses it too. They frequently jump in with some sort of confirmation - whether it is a kiss on their mom or dad's face, an intense stare, a tap of the paw on their mom or dad's arm or leg, an excited bark etc. 

One time during an in person session, I met with a dog and his mom. After about the third time he "confirmed" that what I was saying was true by pawing at his mom's arm when he heard me say something that he wanted her to hear, his mom started to laugh and said, "Ok, I am listening, I heard what she said and I believe you both," at which point, the dog ran back over to me and excitedly wagged his tail, saying "Did you hear that? She believes you are really communicating with me, I've got some more stuff to say!"

Another thing animal guardians have told me is that their pet often makes a point to do something that I specifically mentioned in the session notes. For instance, there was a dog client once that I could feel getting dehydrated so I asked him if he would drink more water after our session. I also mentioned to the guardian in my session notes that it would be helpful if she could make sure he had lots of fresh water available. Much to her surprise, when she and her dog went in the yard to water plants, her dog exuberantly drank from the hose every chance he got. She was stunned because it was something he never did but since she had just read my session notes, she was sure I must have really been communicating with him.

I love being able to partner with animals this way during a session.  They are so excited that someone is helping to put a "voice" to what they are thinking and feeling and they want to make sure their guardians really heard it, so they will do whatever they can to ensure the message has been received. 

The other super cool thing, especially since I do all of my sessions remotely these days, is when an animal encourages their guardian in their own unique way to reach out to me for a session.

Over the years, I've had people tell me that their animal helped them decide whether they should contact me in the first place.  

One person told me that she was looking at several Animal Communicator websites trying to decide who she should set up an appointment with. Each time she clicked back on my website, her dog would sit up and put his nose on the keyboard, which told her that her dog wanted her to get in touch with me.  

Another person told me that when she pulled up my website, her cat jumped into her lap, something she hadn't done in a while because of arthritis, and then pawed at the screen.  She said it almost looked like her cat was trying to comb my hair. haha We had a good giggle over that and she admitted it was what convinced her to contact me. 

In another instance, a gal with horses was chatting with her husband and discussing the possibility of setting up a session with me. It was while she was grooming her horse and each time the topic came up, her horse tried to get her attention, either by nuzzling at her neck or scratching the group with his hoof. At the time, she didn't give it much thought but after the session with here horse, her husband brought it up and pointed out that he had observed the behavior and thought it was interesting.  

Animals do everything in their power to communicate with us, so one of the wonderful ways we can honor them is by being as observant as possible and paying attention to all the little things they do. (before AND after a session). Even if it isn't immediately obvious, the things they do always have meaning and purpose.
