I connected with Betty Lou, a cocker spaniel that I walk. She was wearing a sweater when I arrived. I left it on for her walk but sensed she was hot. I asked her and she came over and rubbed my leg with her body (and she never does that) and allowed me to take off her sweater.

I played Gina’s two games. The first I got wrong because I was impatient and based my guess on previous impressions not on the animal. The second I got right
As I grounded myself before and took my time feeling the essence of each animal.

1. Did you meditate this week? If so, about how much time total did you spend meditating? What meditations did you do? If you didn’t meditate, why didn’t you?
Did my normal 5 minute sessions a few times each day

2. Did you connect with the intention to communicate with an animal this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not?
A few days ago I heard birds chirping very loud in my garden. I opened my window to check and found 2 small birds sitting on a branch of my lemon tree shouting at a cat sleeping underneath the tree. I asked what the fuss was about and they told me they want to start building a nest and were warning the cat not to climb up the tree. I told them that the cat is sleeping and not even listening, but they can safely build a nest in this tree, because it has big and hard, inflexible thorns that keep the cats from climbing up. After this info they were quiet.
I learnt that my impression from last week re the stray dog was incorrect. After missing for 8 days, he showed up again Monday evening, however he was injured. He was limping and I found multiple open sores along his front legs. I asked what happened and got some people injured him, but I couldn’t figure out how. Tuesday I took him to the vet and learnt that these wounds were definitely cuts that were already a few days old. So I guess he was injured the day he left from my house and couldn’t walk for a couple of days due to the pain. I told him it is safer to stay inside our boundaries. So far he has not jumped over the fence.

3. What would you like to celebrate about your journey in learning how to communicate with animals this week?
Nothing specific

4. What challenges or questions do you have about communicating with animals this week?
It shows again and again that I have trouble to communicate when I am personally involved.

5. Did you communicate this week with the Featured Animal of the Month (FAT)? If so, what happened? If not, why not? If you did, please post your results communicating with the featured animal in the Discussion of that animal if you have not already done so.
No time

6. Did you play one of the Intuition Games (see the games information within the Animal Talk Club Gold/Silver membership resources) this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not?
I played the game Gina had posted on Facebook and got it right again. I found these games very helpful to experience the difference between optical impression from just looking at the picture and really connecting with the animal. Especially in last week’s game the optical impression was very much misleading. This week the check in with the animals confirmed the optical impression.

9/12

Meditated

Every day. Shortest was 20 minutes and I was having trouble getting there. Most of the time I’m surprised that nearly an hour has gone by before I surface.

Communicated

Val connected with my SOL’s horse, Joker, who was at risk of euthanasia for dangerous behavior and I got to share the connection. It was wonderful and exciting. I have not yet heard back from Joker’s family but I’m crossing my fingers they try Val’s advice while there is still hope.

Celebrate

Getting better at quieting my mind so I can feel and hear.

Challenges

Trusting the impressions I get instead of trying to make them fit my agendas. Animals are so much more patient with me than I am with them. My time limitations are mostly made up to motivate myself and almost always counterproductive.

FAT

Connected with Vincent and received encouraging feedback from Ana. I posted my results in the discussion.

Game

I’m finding I often do better when I allow the possibility of two colors instead of being so quick to lock down a guess. Something about being more open. Also when a color pops into my mind before I guess it is often accurate.

4/12
1. Did you meditate this week? If so, about how much time total did you spend meditating? What meditations did you do? If you didn’t meditate, why didn’t you?
I’ve been meditating every day for 15-30 minutes. I’ve used Val’s meditations, I did a guided meditation to release anger and negative energy and I also tried a couple of tapping meditations.

2. Did you connect with the intention to communicate with an animal this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not?
Yes. Every time I set the intention I get less anxious about being able to communicate and the conversations and enlightening.

3. What would you like to celebrate about your journey in learning how to communicate with animals this week?
I finished Val’s beginners course. In a conversation Claire had with Vincent, he told her that I am much better at listening to him now.

4. What challenges or questions do you have about communicating with animals this week?
I’m still working on visualizations and I am also a bit puzzled about how to explain things to Vincent. For example I want him to stop licking the paws and I say it out loud and focus on an image but I see him licking the paws. I know I am not sending the right message to him, as I would only be reinforcing the behavior I want him to change. So I am working on the way of explaining things I want from him in a clearer way.

5. Did you communicate this week with the Featured Animal of the Month (FAT)? If so, what happened? If not, why not? If you did, please post your results communicating with the featured animal in the Discussion of that animal if you have not already done so.
Yes, we had an unpleasant situation on Sunday while at the park. Vincent got really scared and he was upset for the remaining of the day. I connected with him and got the correct information. I asked for help in the Facebook page and the people who checked it with him got the same message I did. I asked for their help because I was unsure if what I got was his answer or if it was my rational interpretation of the situation.

6. Did you play one of the Intuition Games (see the games information within the Animal Talk Club Gold/Silver membership resources) this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not?
I played Gina’s Facebook game and I got the correct answer. I connected briefly with both animals and they were the ones who gave me all the information. Those games are a lesson to trust myself.

1. Did you meditate this week? If so, about how much time total did you spend meditating? What meditations did you do? If you didn’t meditate, why didn’t you?

I missed 2 nights, one because I got the book Pam recommended to me, “Animal Speak”, and I started reading it, and the other because I was so tired I didn’t feel I would do anything but go to sleep. The rest of the week was sitting in silence waiting and wanting something to happen. Sometimes I wonder why I’m doing this, but then I remind myself of what I’m trying to accomplish and how quieting the mind will help me get there.

2. Did you connect with the intention to communicate with an animal this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not?

Trying to connect with Cooper primarily, to see if there’s anything I can do to help his current situation.

2. Did you connect with the intention to communicate with an animal this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not? Connected with a new shelter cat that was transferred to PetSmart for a better chance for adoption. I think it helped, she adjusted her new surrounding in no time.

6. Did you play one of the Intuition Games (see the games information within the Animal Talk Club Gold/Silver membership resources) this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not? Forgot

1. Did you meditate this week? If so, about how much time total did you spend meditating? What meditations did you do? If you didn’t meditate, why didn’t you?
Yes, I meditated this week. I meditate approximately 10 – 30 minutes during each sitting. In addition, I’ve been concentrating on walking meditation which varies from 2 – 5 minutes. This week I did it twice.
2. Did you connect with the intention to communicate with an animal this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not?
Just today, I saw a squirrel run up a tree. I’ve been fascinated by them because I’ve seen on Pinterest how some individuals can get close to them. In this situation, when I saw it run up the tree; I tried to get grounded and breath to see if I could receive information from the squirrel. I was amazed at how close I was able to get. But then I became human and, of course, became excited and the squirrel felt it and ran away. I moved on and left since I knew I missed my window of opportunity. It was cool though.
3. What would you like to celebrate about your journey in learning how to communicate with animals this week?
I was at the shelter about to walk a Pitbull by the name of Taj. He was stoic and wanted to be walked. The second I entered the kennel, he started jumping up and down, I didn’t want him to think that behavior was tolerated, so I stopped, bent down to his level, began to breath, closed by eyes, and stayed still. Taj immediately stopped, sat down, and gave me his belly. He had good energy.
4. What challenges or questions do you have about communicating with animals this week?
My challenge is the same. I’m still not able to receive an entire message; however, I am slowly understanding how I receive messages.
5. Did you communicate this week with the Featured Animal of the Month (FAT)? If so, what happened? If not, why not? If you did, please post your results communicating with the featured animal in the Discussion of that animal if you have not already done so.
I tried to communicate with the Featured Animal of the Month. When I did, I immediately felt a warm sensation around my chest. Then it went away. I tried to stay still but could not feel anything again.
6. Did you play one of the Intuition Games (see the games information within the Animal Talk Club Gold/Silver membership resources) this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not?
I’ve been playing with the deck of cards. Three days ago, it was fantastic. I was 19/26. Then two days ago, it was horrible. I was 1/5. I stopped immediately since I knew I was not in the right mindset.

Report #5

1. Did you meditate this week? If so, about how much time total did you spend meditating? What meditations did you do? If you didn’t meditate, why didn’t you?
I did not meditate as much as I wanted, but the times that I DID meditate were lengthier and more pleasurable. Self-directed meditation, 4 times out of 7 days, 2.5 hours total.
2. Did you connect with the intention to communicate with an animal this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not?
Yes, I connected with “Tina”, the horse on Alicia Hamilton’s page. I also attempted to connect with the turtle doves and rabbit in the backyard. I also attended a “hawkwatch” presentation in north San Diego County and got an opportunity to get very close to a screech owl, redtail hawk, and a kestler falcon.
3. What would you like to celebrate about your journey in learning how to communicate with animals this week?
I was really excited about attending the hawkwatch last Saturday and observing wild animals who were being rehabilitated due to injuries. I would like to have spent time ALONE with them but I am feeling more confident about being around animals other than cats and dogs.
4. What challenges or questions do you have about communicating with animals this week?
While I was connecting with “Tina” Alicia’s horse, I got some kind of cross-communication from another animal about liking a dog park. Is it possible to get “cross-interference” from another animal when communicating with a target animal?
5. Did you communicate this week with the Featured Animal of the Month (FAT)? If so, what happened? If not, why not? If you did, please post your results communicating with the featured animal in the Discussion of that animal if you have not already done so.
No, I connected with Vincent a couple of weeks ago.
6. Did you play one of the Intuition Games (see the games information within the Animal Talk Club Gold/Silver membership resources) this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not?
I am still practicing with a deck of cards and holding at 3 to 4 cards correct out of 12. A new twist, however, is that when I call out one number, it is the number below. So if I call out number 4, the actual card is number 3. If I call out number 8, the actual card is number 7. Very strange.

 1. Did you meditate this week? If so, about how much time total did you spend meditating? What meditations did you do? If you didn’t meditate, why didn’t you?
 I have been practicing my meditations 20min 2X a day for the past several days and it feels wonderful. I feel I am finally moving out of my funk.
2. Did you connect with the intention to communicate with an animal this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not? Spoke with the 2 dogs Gina posted on Facebook, also spoke with Vincent following a question Ana had posted on Facebook. All 3 conversations felt right on.
3. What would you like to celebrate about your journey in learning how to communicate with animals this week? Believe in myself. Let go and trust.
4. What challenges or questions do you have about communicating with animals this week? Not taking enough time to ground and center, also, not staying with the animal connection longer and deepening into questions and getting answers. Sometimes I am too quick to talk and not slow enough to really understand fully.
5. Did you communicate this week with the Featured Animal of the Month (FAT)? If so, what happened? If not, why not? If you did, please post your results communicating with the featured animal in the Discussion of that animal if you have not already done so. Yes, on Facebook conversation with Vincent
6. Did you play one of the Intuition Games (see the games information within the Animal Talk Club Gold/Silver membership resources) this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not? Not this week. Have been extra busy listening and tapping along with the experts at the 10th Annual Tapping Summit. I am enjoying these sessions and excited to get back into including tapping daily in my life because it does indeed help me.

1. Did you meditate this week? If so, about how much time total did you spend meditating? What meditations did you do? If you didn’t meditate, why didn’t you? Yes multiple times thru the day. Using calm some youtube stuff with alpha waves and abraham hicks

2. Did you connect with the intention to communicate with an animal this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not? I took myself to the zoo Wednesday. It was a beautiful day. Nearly every creature was napping. I honestly did not feel like i communicated with any of them. I’m having so much trouble when i set out to communicate as opposed to forgetting about it then it comes on it own. I also feel as though there’s not been much of a burning question in me to any of them. The power that comes from me really desiring information and then waiting for it to come works great. BUT i m wanting to have casual communication so i m frustrated. Also noticed that i can pick up on people very easily so i m wondering if theres a language barrier there.

3. What would you like to celebrate about your journey in learning how to communicate with animals this week? haven t given up

4. What challenges or questions do you have about communicating with animals this week? it seemed when i first started i had easier time and now i rarely get anything that is recognizable. is that normal?

If you did, please post your results communicating with the featured animal in the Discussion of that animal if you have not already done so. saw his face many times but nothing i could pick up on. I noticed at first i thought he was much younger, and in each of his pics he looks like a different dog, same breed but older or younger……weird

6. Did you play one of the Intuition Games (see the games information within the Animal Talk Club Gold/Silver membership resources) this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not? I have an appt sun with Klaudia to play true or false. See its interesting to note i do well with this but we are dealing with questions about people not pets.

Meditated daily about 15 min each. Also do affirmations during daily walk with my dogs.

2. Did you connect with the intention to communicate with an animal this week? If so, what happened? If not, why not?
Connected a friend’s 2 cats (Honey and Bella) Got the personality of each right, but some of the other info were mixed up, i.e. according to my friend, some of the things I picked up on Honey was more Bella and vice versa. I did the connection separately, but I wonder due to me being a novice, I picked up their energy and confused the two.

3. What would you like to celebrate about your journey in learning how to communicate with animals this week?
I’m learning to trust my intuition more with each practice and feedback.
