AC101 Introduction to Animal Communication


Telepathic / Intuitive Communication with Animals is a natural and complete way of
exchanging messages, feelings, thoughts and ideas between all living beings. Animals
are telepathic and have never lost or drained themselves of that skill. And for us humans,
this ability sits within us, there from birth, waiting to be remembered and reclaimed, with
a little bit of work and practice.

Intuition is your inner knowing, understanding something at a complete level, inside of
yourself, without the process of analysis, or reasoning. Your intuition is what connects
you in a knowing way to the Universe, our planet, and all other beings.

Telepathy is the process of exchanging energy or feelings over distance. (tele means
distance; pathy means feeling) This exchange can be sent or received in the form of
Telepathic Sensing:
Visual - pictures, scenes or visions in your minds eye. An animal may
show you something that they experienced from their visual perspective
and you may see the complete or partial chain of events.
Auditory - words may come as though you are actually hearing them or
you may hear sounds that your animal friend has heard and is telling you
about.
Tactile Sensation - sensations that you may feel in your own body that
come directly from the animals communication (pain, hunger, energy
level, hot/cold, etc.)
Smelling/Tasting aromas and tastes may come to you directly from you
animal about what their experience was with something they ate, or smells
in a house, vets office, kennel, outside, etc.
Gestalt knowing Simply understanding something completely without
coming directly through any of the senses. This is true intuitive
understanding.
And sometimes communication with animals is a combination of sending
or receiving all of these modalities.



In developing your telepathic communication skills, it is important to incorporate these
practices on a regular basis:
Be open to telepathic communication from your animal friends.
Expect telepathic communication from your animal friends.
Trust the telepathic communications that you receive from your animal friends.
Acknowledge to yourself and your animal friends that you have received the telepathic
message.

It is also very helpful to get some foundation skills and techniques, that will enhance your
advancing telepathy with animals. Taking classes and reading books on the subject are
highly recommended.

By implementing the above, you will reinforce for yourself that you can and are
communicating telepathically with your animal friends, and it will confirm for your
animals that you are understanding their communications with you. Then sit back and
notice how much they say, and how they encourage you to continue growing along this
path!

Be Open to What Our Animal Companions Can Tell Us
Our animal friends very often know more about us and the world we share than we may
realize or acknowledge. The may know our deepest feelings, understand family
dynamics of both the human and animal members, and understand the intentions of
people whom they meet or know. Some animals come to us to guide us, or help us in
some way, and may be insistent on keeping us on the right path in this lifetime. And
other times, our animal friends may be with us to love us, simply just be with us and be
loved by us. Learning to communicate more clearly with your animal friend and
ultimately understanding your animal friend more deeply can be incredibly satisfying for
both you and your companion. The possibilities about what an animal may convey to
you are endless. They may have simple day to day conversation information to share, or
their messages may be profound and full of wisdom. As long as you are open to the
possibilities and learn to trust own intuitive skills, the potential for expansive
conversations is vast.

What Animal Communication IS:
It is a natural communication exchange that goes beyond the verbal and physical
interactions we may be used to.
It is opening to the animal completely without your own filters and understanding
their unique thought/feeling/idea.
It is interactive, flowing, and real communication.
It is potentially as natural and expansive a conversation exchange as you may
have with any person about any topic.
It is a respectful way to communicate with your animal friends.
It is possible to telepathically communicate with animals over distance, in person,
or with animals who have transitioned into Spirit.

What Animal Communication IS NOT:
It is not guessing what an animal is feeling or thinking based on your
experiences with them.
It is not reading nonverbal body language or facial expressions.
It is not projecting your own feelings or beliefs into an animals perspective.
It is not assuming attitude or personality traits across breeds or species types.
It is not something that you need a scientific degree to do.
It is not something that is beyond your reach.

For you to PRACTICE in the upcoming week and after:

Without imagining that animals can communicate with us and we can understand their
messages, we could never do it. We just would not be open to the fact that this is
absolutely natural and true. If you cannot imagine it, you cannot experience it as
simple as that, for many things we experience in life, not just those pertaining to the
intuitive world. Sooooo, let yourself incorporate your imagination into your daily life
a little bit and experience to whatever degree you wish, what telepathic communication
with your animal friends is like.

Incorporate this following form of experience with your animal companion during the
next several days or week

When you come home from work or wake up in the morning, sometime when you are
quiet and relaxed, IMAGINE you are holding a conversation with your animal friend.
Let go of all the busy-ness of the day, and get into a quiet mode of being. You do not
have to meditate or lie down, or do anything special. Just be with your animal friend,
sitting, walking outside, and ALLOW your mind to be CLEAR and OPEN.

Then, in your mind, say to your animal friend, Hello Jasper! And allow yourself to
imagine your animal friend responding with their voice saying something like this, Hi
Kristin! Good to see you! I love when you are home!

Then ask them with your mind, What did you do today? And imagine their reply
coming to you in the form of voice, or pictures/scenes, or sensations in your body. He or
she may show you how they slept in the sun, or how they kept the neighbor dog out of the
yard by barking out the window, or how they cleaned the energy up around the house,
showing you how they went from room to room wagging their tail or moving through the
space to clear the energy. HE or she may say, I had a great day, it was funny when the
cat tipped over the water bowl and woke me up from a sound sleep and I got to chase her
into the back bedroom! Allow the information to expand and be creative. You will
notice a fine line where your imagination is allowing and when you are creating. This
allowing is the place you will wish to remain synchronized. Just allow the information to
be full and bright and detailed, and to fully play through in your mind as you are quietly
being with your animal friend. Be ready for the information to come in any of telepathic
sensing. And LET GO of judging yourself on this exercise! There is no right or wrong
way or result. You have a lot to gain from doing this exercise. And remember to
incorporate the 4 suggested things mentioned above:
Be Open ~ Expect telepathic communication with your animal companion ~ Trust you
are telepathically communicating Acknowledge to your animal and yourself , that you
have received each communication.

Most Importantly. Have Fun!
About the Instructor:
Kristin Thompson
Kristin Thompson is an Animal
Communicator, Interspecies Life Coach,
and Teacher. She has a full time private
practice working with human and animal
clients locally and throughout the country,
offering animal communication
consultations, courses, and specialized
coaching for people through connection with
animals and nature. As part of her practice,
Kristin teaches courses in Animal
Communication (Basic through Advanced
Levels), Animal Communication for Kids,
Reiki for Animals, Loss of an Animal, and
other animal/nature related classes.
She finds her work most satisfying while facilitating courses, private consultations,
coaching, and mentoring, helping to bring people to an understanding of animals and
themselves as unique and whole spiritual beings in this journey of life.
Kristin lives with her husband, children, and animal family (horses, cats, dogs, and goats) on
a sacred farm in Western New York State.
Additional information from Kristin:
"For as long as I can remember, I have adored animals. My favorite friends growing up were
the dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and other domestic and wild animals that lived with our
family and neighbors. I have always had a strong connection with animals, and have felt their
feelings, thoughts, joys, pains in very real and deep ways. My life with animals has been
joyous, healing and full of discovery.
Several years ago, I had an incredible urge to understand and know my horse Woody on a
different level, to better understand his personality and purpose in my life, and help him to
be as happy as I could, since he brought me so much joy. I called an animal communicator,
and was amazed at the information she shared with me from Woody! At that time I decided
that this was what I wanted to be, what I wanted to do with my life...to bring animals and
their people closer, with more understanding, love, hope and healing. I studied with
Penelope Smith, I practiced, read and followed my own path, always with the goal to be a
professional animal communicator. I also acknowledge my mentors in this work and my own
spiritual growth - Carol Schultz, Penelope Smith, Kate Solisti-Mattelon and Patrice
Mattelon. I thank all of the animals and human animals who have taught me so much, and
still guide me along my ever continuing journey.
10
The work that I do through
private consultations and
teaching people to
understand animals as
unique, whole spiritual
beings, brings me a sense of
completeness and greater
purpose in my life. It is the
best thing I do. I am happy
to say that as a professional
animal communicator, I am
able to give back with love
to the wonderful universe
that supports us all. The
goal of any consultation that I conduct is to facilitate more communication, love, harmony
and understanding among all involved.

I live in Western New York State, with my husband Jeff, our children, and our animal
family, including Naya-Ke-Hai, Dancer, Woody (horses), Chankanaab, Dreamer, Peppin, Lucy,
Alice and Roamin' (cats), and Riley (dog), Shamin, Jelly, Luna, Chief (animal friends who have
passed on into Spirit) and the many wild animals who share our woods and fields."
