1. Meditations?
ASMR meditations nightly with some chakra and reiki focus added in on some, shamanic drum meditations, nature sounds meditation.

2. Animal Communication?
A mosquito in my bathroom. I tried talking to him to get him to come to me so I could take him outside. He wasn’t coming to me so I was starting to get a little impatient as I was running late and needed to complete the rescue before I left for work. So, I realized the more I became impatient, the more he would ignore me so I centered, and just practiced the presence exercise. I can’t make this stuff up….when I did that, he immediately came over and landed on my hand! He stayed very still and let me put him in the little bug catcher I have and safely got him outside. ????

I practiced the listening and interpreting exercise from Penelope’s class with Alfie. I asked him some questions and gathered his answers. I was pleasantly surprised at how clearly I heard him. While I always talk with him and LeBeau, I am usually talking to him about a particular issue going on. By just asking him life questions and really listening to what he had to say opened up our conversation and it was so nice to just talk to him as a “normal” chat instead of trying to fix something. ❤️

I also talked with Sugar (my friend’s bunny) again. He is still hanging in there. Helping relay messages to his mom of things that help him stay comfortable and content while he prepares for his next journey after this one is done. ❤️

3. Gratitude?
I am grateful for the new AC experiences I am having while in the certification program. I am grateful for my boys Alfie and LeBeau. I am grateful LeBeau had another good checkup with his eye doctor.

4. Questions/discoveries?
I got to experience how just being present with an animal can be just as powerful and effective as the communication is, sometimes all the animal needs is your presence. When they don’t feel like talking or communicating, our presence can still make a huge positive difference in their lives just as their presence can do the same for us. We don’t always have to send/receive messages to make AC happen.

5. FAT communication?
I have every intention to chat with sweet Rolo this week! ☺️

6. Intuition Development?
I worked with my pendulum a lot this week. I also did several grounding exercises to connect with Mother Earth and strengthen my intuitive abilities.

[Laurie DeLucia]

Meditation: Daily grounding, running energy, and Chakra Balancing. I also do a calming mind meditation of varying lengths of one to 10 minutes as well as a guided mediation. I usually do JP’s Trust the Universe and Let Go or Val’s Love and Heart meditations.

Animal Communication: I connected with two cats. One cat is currently in the shelter and is struggling to progress and connect with people. Vera shared that she needs time to adjust and trust on her timeline, not theirs. She also expressed sadness at being surrendered twice and how that has made it difficult to open her heart again. I did the Ho’oponopono technique with her. She also told me that she preferred to be called Buttercup and that gentle play without eye contact would be the best way to bridge the connection with another person. She also requested to go into a foster home, or even the shelter office, rather than be in a kennel which makes her feel vulnerable amongst other smaller details that I relayed to the shelter’s director who has noted that the staff are now requesting communications.

Gratitude: I am grateful that I was able to spend five days visiting with my cousin who now lives on the other side of the country.

Questions/Discoveries: I tend to have an extremely difficult time seeing that a lost animal is deceased. I tend to block it because it is too painful for me to acknowledge and one of the main reasons I avoid working with lost animals. BUT, although I’ve been wrong about them being alive or not (due to my own blocking), I have been pretty accurate about the story and location. I realized that I can still do this type of work as long as I am honest with the client and let them know that I cannot say if I believe they are still alive but will provide all of the information I receive because it can still be extraordinarily helpful.

Featured Animal Teacher (FAT) OR Animal Teacher Handout: Did you communicate with this month’s FAT or an animal from the Animal Teacher Handout? If not, why? I would like to connect with Rolo again before adding it to the board. As I type this, I realize that I can actually do that as I type up the info I received during the Q&A. I tend to receive more info as I type the transcript, so that can be my second connection! Knowing this will actually get me to do this in a timelier manner 🙂

Intuition Development: Morning Messages is not the first part of my morning routine. I think I will keep my journal near my bed and do it as soon as I wake and see if there is much difference. As it stands, this ritual has been pivotal for my healing and growth. I have been trusting intuitive hits more and just accepting rather than second guessing them. I attempted the playing cards intuition development but found that I was waaay off on everything I received so I will attempt it again when my mind is more clear.

[Nita Mukherjee]

1. Meditation: What meditations did you do this week? Use the Meditation Module for guidance.
Twin hearts meditation, The great invocation, Heart wisdom love connection, though not every day, due to circumstances.

2. Animal Communication: Describe your interaction with an animal (name, species, and key discoveries). Use the Featured Animal Teacher page for practice.
I tried to connect to an ATH, but could not focus, as I’ve been rather stressed about Sunny. It’s also the festival that is celebrated with loud fireworks over a few days, so all the dogs are reacting and it’s very difficult for me to concentrate.

3. Gratitude: Share at least one thing you’re grateful for this week.
I’m grateful for our Facebook group, where I posted about Sunny, since the call has been postponed and I’m confused and worried about him. Mary replied with some helpful information, which is reassuring.

4. Questions/Discoveries: What questions or discoveries did you make about animal communication?
I discovered after coming here that there are some “myths” which make AC sound like something anyone can do, and without much work! I’ve taken a number of courses through the years, with nothing to show for them. One teacher said meditation was not required, and just intention was enough for grounding to happen! In another class, the teacher said no preparation of any kind was needed, so in the 2 hour class, every student was invited to talk to another student’s pet. Needless to say, I didn’t, and just sat there marvelling at everyone’s skills! I just wish I was proficient enough to figure out what is happening with Sunny. Circumstances and personal limitations are major blocks, and I think my main focus should be only the heal-evolve-grow, leaving AC aside.

5. Featured Animal Teacher (FAT) OR Animal Teacher Handout: Did you communicate with this month’s FAT or an animal from the Animal Teacher Handout? If not, why?
Yes, but will do so again when I feel a bit settled and post.

6. Intuition Development: Which lessons or exercises did you do? Avoid intuition game apps—use resources from the Welcome Module.
I could not do any other exercises apart from the basic guessing the right color.

[Rosemary M]

Meditation:I did Val’s heart meditations, chanting and silent ones. The heart ones are helping me strenghten the heart flow. The chanting is helping focus. Silent – that’s about being brave and trusting myself.
Animal Communication: I have been meditating and communicating with Elsa. AT first I was struggling. Trying too hard! So I’ve been calming down, sitting silently, focusing on breath, dropping expectations and aiming to enjoy the experience rather than shroud it in anxiety. Today I heard her say: I am with you. Be open in your heart, focus your energy lower in your body and listen. She sent me joy and a flower. Isent her heart warmth and my listening. This is the new way I’m trying to go – take the pressure off and enjoy – reminding myself (again from Elsa’s guidance) that this is as natural as breathing.
Gratitude: I’m really grateful for Val answering my question on the Q&A about how to live. The thing that resonated so loudly was: you aren’t trusting anything outside yourself. That really was the answer I needed to hear.
Questions/Discoveries: Regular practice in order to be ready for whne you really need it. That’s what I took from the Q&A and have been cementing it in since.
Featured Animal Teacher (FAT) OR Animal Teacher Handout:I got really positive and helpful feedback from Melanie and Rolo.
Intuition Development:Feeling in to myself to hear – what colours to wear, when to take extra herbs for sleeping and which foods to eat.

[Tatiana August]

1) I did one of Val’s past life meditations from one of the masterclasses. I also listened to more light language and frequency healing videos.

2) I connected with two animal teachers this week, Rolo and Sweetie. I also had one client, a dog named Cordy. With Rolo, I was happy to hear I got some specific details correct. One thing that came through was something that had to do with hair. The guardian brought up that it could be her son’s long hair, but when I read the other feedback about how there was another dog in the household that he is adjusting to, I wondered if that was what he was trying to show me. My conversation with Sweetie was surprising, because after I connected, I read that she went missing a couple of years ago. The information I was receiving felt like she was at home with her guardian. So that took me by surprise. I do hope to hear if anything still resonates. With Cordy, there was one specific question that I asked, and I was just writing non-stop what Cordy was sharing with me. I felt very in flow with that one.

3) I am grateful that my mom has some time off and we can go on some hikes. I am also grateful that I got some new ideas for my business that I intend to implement.

4) I did have some difficulty deciphering what hair Rolo was referring to, even though I asked the question in different ways and was asked for a visual, but it still looked distorted. I wonder if there is another technique to use to get clearer on a specific detail I am picking up on.

5) Yes, I connected to Rolo and got feedback.

6) This past week, I practiced some of the intuition skills from the exploring clairaudience masterclass. I realized I do one of them very well. If a group of people are talking, I can hone in on one person and pay attention to just them. I’ve been able to do that for a while without trying to.

[Sandy Doherty]

1 Meditation:

Breathing and clearing the mind to remain in the present. Listened to Ambience Meditation

2 Name or species type of the being you practised communicating with

Practised interpretation exercise with Alfie during Penelope Smith’s class. Supported neighbours’ tuxedo cat, Princess, during a local fireworks display. Acknowledge the presence of several crows near my home. Silently calling for the squirrels, in a local park, I had brought food for them. Shortly after, they scurried around to be hand-fed.

3. What are you grateful for this week:

A reminder, during Penelope Smith’s class, that giving the animal space and being present is a powerful tool often needed for the animal to feel safe, and who may be unable or unwilling to communicate. AC is not just about asking the animals questions and receiving the answers. It’s a subtle and sensitive experience

4. Questions/discoveries:

I need to take time out to discover and work through what I want in my life, besides knowing and accepting that animals are a part of me.

5. Did you communicate this week with the Featured Animal Teacher

No. Due to unexpected circumstances, the time I had set aside for the FAT and AC did not materialize.

6. Which of the Intuition Development exercises did you explore this week

Revisited the clairaudience and nature exploration lesson

Communicated with every animal I met

[Melanie Appleyard]

1. Which meditations did you do?
The heart meditation.
Counting breath, then breathing into my chakras in turn, then moving into the awakened heart mefitation.

Which animal(s) did I communicate with?
What is their name if you know it and what type of species? Briefly describe what you talked about. What did you discover from the experience.
Alana’s Coco – talking about what she’s been doing and asked advice about Beau’s barking on the lead.

3. What are you grateful for this week? Post at least one.
We have now officially adopted Beau.
Time away in the campervan in nature, which is much needed.

4. Questions and/or Discoveries!
What questions do you have or what discoveries did you make about communicating with animals this week? Post at least one.
Sometimes animals, especially insects seem to go still while I connect – seeming to hear me, though I don’t often hear them.

5. Did you communicate this week with the Featured Animal Teacher? If not, why not?
Yes. I explained that we were going away in the campervan and why we were leaving him at home – he doesn’t like long journeys, gets sore with long walks, but will get more peace and lots of cuddles at home.

6. Which Intuition Development Lessons and Exercises did you do this week? If you didn’t do one of our Lessons, what else did you do to practice growing your intuitive senses?
Trying to still my mind more this week. It’s still very busy at the moment.

[Alana Bartels]

1) Mediations: My morning daily meditation and walking meditations.

2) Animal Communication: Both Coco and Pup Pup on our walks. Pup Pup and I came across a dead raccoon in the road, Pup Pup passed on a message to me by rolling in the grass around it. He was teaching me to accept the full spectrum of life, both beauty and decay without judgment. Coco was rolling in the grass quite a bit this week so I asked him what’s going on. He said that he was rolling since it helps dogs shake off stagnant or heavy vibrations. I connected with a herd of ants that has gotten in Coco food dish, they were showing me to look at how I’m tending to my own nourishment.

3) Gratitude: I’m extremely grateful for my spirit team guidance/support as I have working on letting go of some of my old relationship patterns/lowering my defenses to allow love/romantic partner in my life as I have been talking with a guy for a couple weeks now. He has been mirroring what fears I need to work on and teaching me what I need to learn.

4) Questions/Discoveries: I have discovered some fears that I didn’t even know that I had. I also discovered when I was absorbing someone else frustration energy. It was my dad energy that I was picking up.

5) FAT: Not this week. I have been working on releasing/healing some of my fears/traumas.

6) Intuition Development: I have working on conquering my emotions this week.

Posting for Debbie Nye:

1)Meditation: Pineal Gland Stimulation to destroy unconscious blocks and negativity by Lucid Spirit on you tube along with a 396hz+639hz+963hz (Triple Solfeggio Frequency healing/ Root, heart, and crown chakra by sound healing vibes on you tube.
I also did a EMDR therapeutic tech meditation @40hz to increase cognition, clarity and alertness, combating Fibromyalgia pain, anxiety and increasing blood flow through out the body (Gamma wave).. ( I did the rapid eye movement that Val had mentioned along with this meditation) .

2)Animal Communication: I connected with a client’s dog in Spirit which I haven’t had done in a long time.. a paid client!.. I had learned that .. Trust what I recieve from the animal and that it was all I was suppose to get !.. If I’m not trusting in myself .. then I’m not trusting what that animal that I’m connected with is sharing with me.. so I could look at that as disrespectful of myself!.. . I was so concerned on getting feedback from this client and when I didn’t hear back.. I thought that I did poorly, I got into my head with self doubt… then when she reached back and said.. yes I recieved the reading.. thank you so much!…. lol…. That was it!.. so really , I shouldn’t expect feedback back, as if I did,… then that may be where there could be nasty feedback! So… I did good.. picked up exactly what was shared from their dog in spirit and I gave them comfort in knowing that their dog Daphne is still with them 🙂
3)I am Grateful for being Free and Alive today!!… I came out of a long , 11mth , captive, abusive situation.. confined to a bedroom pretty much, and lost most belongings… I made it here!!!! I’m now Free and Living a Happy life finally and a HOME where I can cook a meal again! 🙂
4)Questions/Discoveries: Question: If I were to do a reading on an animal and my mind feels blank, like I’m not picking up on them… do they get fustrated or impatient with us when that happens?.. As I wonder what Thumper thinks when I’m not picking up on him..
5)FAT: Yes, I connected during class with Rolo and I also connected with him a few days ago and had found that he had seemed better since class.
6)Intuitive Development: I had made up a game with my roomy using 5 dice each and we get 3 turns ea to get as many of the same number to win.. I found that when my energy is good, I can concentrate on the number I want and vision all 5 dice to be the same.. I’ve been doing really well at that!.. I noticed that if I’m not focused, low energy.. I suck at the game..lol..
We also have been using cards now as well..
