ATH conversation with Mary H’s Layla

[Moderator]

We are glad you are interested in practicing talking together with an animal!

To get started, greet the animal and ask if they have time to talk with you. Remember that animals also lead busy lives even though we may not see all that they do. If they aren’t available, check back later.

Introduce yourself and explain why you are reaching out to them: that you are a member of the Animal Talk Coaching & Mastery Club and learning to better communicate with animals and would appreciate their help. You can ask them any questions you want. Typically they do provide a response. Please share your impressions of their personality, energy, how they feel and any insights they may share with you. By sharing what you get, the animal’s person can provide you with feedback and others can jump in too.

Some conversations have been lively, and we’ve learned some amazing insights, and laughed at jokes. Remember that this is a safe place to practice. This is about practice and learning, it is not about getting it perfect. The animals have much to teach us, to share with us and we with them. Enjoy!

Layla is a rescue from Egypt. I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say about her. Thanks Jade for adding her. I must add that the dog with me in my profile picture is not Layla.

Hi Mary! Layla is such a pretty pup! I haven’t been able to practice but once so far with an animal who I either didn’t already know or I was not in their physical presence, so I would like to try and connect with Layla. I think when I tried communicating with 50 (April’s featured animal), I either didn’t connect fully to get clearer messages or I just didn’t interpret what I received properly. 🙂 Still very new at this on the conscious level. I would love to see if Layla can help me get better at this. It is my heart’s desire to communicate fully with them so I will see if Layla will be available to help me. I know I will have a private opportunity this weekend to reach out to her. I will let you know how that goes and will be in touch soon! Hugs to you both!

[Mary Hill]

Thanks Shelly, I am sure she will be willing to talk. I will be looking forward to what happens for you both. Hugs back.

Hi Mary! I tried to connect with Layla today (4/13/24) around 2:13 pm Central Time. I had a hard time connecting because I got a feeling that she was telling me she was outside playing, looking at bugs, and sunbathing. LOL Not sure if that was from her or me because today it is beautiful outside where I am and I could have imagined that would be where she wanted to be. I am going to try again later and see if I can connect. Still a newbie at this so I will keep practicing! 🙂 Will keep you posted. Hope you both have a great day!

[Mary Hill]

Hi Shelly, lol at that time we were on a walk on a trail she loves and there were lots of sniffing etc. She was indeed busy poking her nose everywhere. We are home now .When you try later she may be more inclined to talk.

Hi Mary, at 6:48pm CT tonight (4/13/24), I connected successfully with Layla! She seemed to remember me from reaching out to her earlier. 🙂 Here is how my talk with her went (such a sweet girl!):

-I greeted her and told her I was one of your classmates at our animal communication school. I asked her if she was busy and if she would like to talk. I felt her say yes, she was ready to talk now.
-I asked her if she had a good walk and enjoyed all the smells, she said she did and smelled all sorts of things. I asked if she could share one of those smells with me and I immediately smelled like a strong honeysuckle/jasmine type smell. I thought it was maybe a candle near me but when the smell disappeared, nothing in the room smelled like honeysuckle/jasmine. I know that smell!
-I asked how she felt in her body right now, did she hurt anywhere or did she feel good today. I suddenly had a pain in both of my temples (like a headache type pain) and my skin felt hot. I asked her if she had a headache or was someone rubbing her head near her temples. I felt like she was telling me she had a small headache. I asked if she thinks something she smelled outside gave it to her and then I got that she had a small tinge of pain in a right tooth near the back of her jaw. So I think maybe just a small toothache or jaw twinge (maybe from chewing on something) might be what gave her a slight headache.
-I asked what does her momma do that makes her happy. I got an image in my mind that she loves you giving her belly rubs and scratching her back when she sits next to you on the couch. She said you give her LOTS of love and attention and she is very happy living with you.
-I asked about how long she has been with you and I kept seeing the number 3. Maybe 3 years?
-I asked if there was something she liked to play with the most and I saw a pink ball.
-I asked her if she had anything she wanted me to tell her momma and she clearly put in my thoughts, “I don’t want any more surgeries”. I don’t know if she has had surgeries in the past or not (I should have asked her but I forgot!) but she seemed pretty sure of herself when she said that to me. She said it fast, and I heard it clearly. I was shocked how clear that one came through.
-I sent her love and healing energy and told her I loved her and hope she gets better very soon. I thanked her for talking to me and letting me get to know her. I told her she can call me anytime and I would love to talk more!

Thank you for letting me reach out to her. I would love to hear your feedback on if you feel I got clear messages. I am learning to ask more specific questions and zoom out on the picture to make sure I don’t misinterpret but of course, it takes practice. 🙂 Thanks to you both and hope you have a great evening! Hugs and love to you both! ❤️

Hi Shelly, I am glad you got a chance to talk to Layla.
She sticks her nose in a lot of places along the trail and maybe the smell was there somewhere. She did spend a lot of time in one spot. I watch to make sure she doesn’t eat anything.
Re the headache or jaw pain, It could be from a new toy with a hard rope on it. Maybe she hurt her jaw chewing on it. She has been rubbing her face on the carpet after eating.
Layla loves to cuddle on the couch and lays on her back for belly rubs. I usually give her a sponge bath and give her back a good scratch.
She has been with us since Sept.2022, 1 year and 7 months. Not sure what 3 years meant. She doesn’t have a pink ball, just a blue one and doesn’t play much with it.
RE the no more surgeries, Layla had emergency surgery for pyometra of the uterus on March 18th. She has healed well.

You are doing really well with your questions, precise and clear. I am happy you “heard ” no more surgeries. Great job, I am sure she will talk to you anytime. Hugs and love from Layla and me.

Hi Mary!

I connected with Layla this afternoon around 1:45 Central Time. I asked her how she came to be with you and she said she came a long way. I got the impression of an airplane? I told her she was beautiful and she said you tell her she’s beautiful a lot, too. When I asked what her favorite things to do were she very clearly said she likes to be close to Mom because the world can be a bit scary.

When I admired her “outfit” in the picture, she said she likes her pink harness because it means she gets to go on walks. She likes to jump around and act silly.

She said she’s the only animal in the house right now. And she had a message for you: keep going.

I asked if she had a message for me and she told me to get up and play. Don’t be discouraged.

Her energy seemed curious and inquisitive, but a little cautious, like she doesn’t warm up to everyone.

She told me she’s an angel here on earth. I didn’t get the sense that she had any pain anywhere in her body.

Thank you for providing Layla to talk to! She’s a lovely being and I really enjoyed connecting with her.

Hello Elizabeth,
Thank you for talking with Layla today. She did come to Canada on an airplane 1 and a half years ago. We rescued her from Egypt. She does love that harness and gets all excited when I take it off the peg and show it to her. She will even help put it on. She loves people and likes to greet them but after a while warms up and remembers them. We walk with a group of dogs and their owners and she loves that. She is more cautious around any new dog she meets on our walks. Everyone says she is pretty and sweet. She does get a bit crazy and excited and acts silly sometimes. Thanks for telling me you do not sense any pain on her. She does have an ear that is red and sore but our new vet is helping me with that.
You did an excellent job with your questions, I’m glad she gave you a message and also very happy that she wants me to keep going on my quest to communicate. Please feel free to talk to her any time.

Love and hugs from Layla and me.

Hi Mary,

I have been struggling a bit with getting into a groove with my AC work. I introduced myself officially in the forums a few weeks ago 🙂

When I was putting my 2yo son to sleep this evening, I was getting a message from a golden color dog and got strongly that it was a dog with long and very golden fur. And I was prompted to come to the forum to find them and communicate. And there I found Layla.

I haven’t practiced in a while, and even then, I am new. But I started my connection with her and here is what happened.

We started with images of the airplane and clouds, and some palm trees. She said that her mission here is teaching and healing. She has the energy of a great hostess, very social, welcoming, a greeter to all. She guided me through the connection and helped me get grounded, as I felt my feet get heavy after being unsure and nervous initially. I was rushing to ask her questions and with great patience she helped me to slow down and get deeper into my concentration.

She showed me a travel experience and seemed she was confident and unafraid to go where she needed to go. I asked her to show me something about her experience of moving and she asked me to “hop on” meaning getting into her POV and showed me some children. Things were getting a little choppy on the connection and I saw a red bandana/scarf, and then, strangely a mustache. Maybe someone around her has a thick mustache? Anyway, I am so grateful that she reached out to me and got me going in the right direction again, even if what I am receiving is a little off.

Something that happened in the middle of the connection was that the left side of my left palm had a stinging sensation. Often will feel these from what others are feeling, so if she has had any issues here, that would be good feedback for me to know (or, if not too).

I also got a random visual of a vanilla ice cream cone in the beginning of our conversation. Does this make any sense? Or maybe I just want some ice cream? :-p

Thank you for having her on the forum and a big thank you and lots of love to Layla for bringing me here today! <3

Hello Joelle, First welcome to our community of animal communication. You will find help from everyone as well as awesome moderator Jade and our teacher Val.
Thank you for answering Layla. She does reach out to others and maybe had noticed you were having some difficulty and wanted to help. She came over 3 years ago from Egypt as a rescue. We have a charity that used to bring in plane loads of golden retrievers that were adopted. Our federal government stopped allowing this as those countries have rabies but none of the dogs ever came over with any disease. They were loaded on a plane, usually 40 or 50 dogs and kept warm for the long flight. She loves to greet all people and on our walks seems to look for someone. She loves children and she has had puppies. We think she may have belonged to a family but do not know how she came to be on the street. Our neighbor has a mustache but its grey. She loves ice cream at McDonalds. I will certainly ask her about her left foot. Maybe she has something stuck in it or she could have hurt it on our ice from a storm. I am happy you were able to talk to her and she helped you. Lots of love from Layla and me. Keep practicing.

Thank you for the information, Mary! I am feeling lots of love for sure! This is so helpful. I didn’t get into the details of what Layla was working on with me on a more personal level, as in how she was helping me practice, because these things I was receiving as more of a thought/energetic “packet,” so maybe that is the claircognizance format. If this was her intention then it’s pretty brilliant, because it seems more efficient to use this method on the stuff that you don’t want to waste time on, and using the other clairs for the more concrete info like the ice cream or children. But, basically, she noticed how I was doubting a lot. Thinking back, I must have been really deep into focus because at some point I believe we touched on an underlying issue with negative beliefs that came from my mom (these are always coming into AC work, lol). She was so sweet and treated me like family. I am so grateful to both of you and it was so special how she connected with me when I was laying down with my son and feeling relaxed. Hopefully her foot is all okay!
