Hi! I’m new and honestly not sure if it’s ok to post or if I should do anything or the sort before, so if I do I’ll try.
I started this in December I think but stopped during early January as I kept getting stuck and frustrated so I took a break. I tried taking the first lesson for beginners but I wasn’t getting anywhere as it was too confusing. I know not trying won’t get me anywhere, so I’m back!
So I’m struggling with a few things. First off, how do I know or feel if I’m just making up things or if I’m really communicating? How do I connect with an animal, do you feel anything when you do that makes you realize you did? How does it feel to be drawn to an animal teacher? (I tried to ask them for help before but was confused and got nothing.) Does closing my eyes help with any of the process? Is communicating with alive animals or spirits different from each other? How do I know if my messages are getting through to them? Does it feel different when you open yourself up to receive messages and how do you know you can revive them? Can we talk to each when we’re not connected? Do they speak in/understand multiple languages?
An extra piece of info, tonight I had a dream about my horses’ mother, who I never knew. It was very sad and I had very strong, sad emotions in the dream and when I woke up. Does it mean anything or is my head just making things up?
I know it’s a lot of questions, but if anyone is able to help it’d be very appreciated!

Hi Dani,
I also started the beginner level course at the end of December, and am in a similar place as you. I am also a meditation teacher, and I’m seeing lots of parallels between the process of learning how to meditate and learning to talk to animals. So I thought I’d share with you some of my thoughts in hopes that it might help.
First of all, I am hearing concerns about whether you’re doing it “right”. Much like in meditation, I don’t think this is about doing it right or wrong. What if you approached it more like an exploration— with lots of curiosity? If you were going on a hike through some beautiful woods, would you worry about whether you were doing it right? What if you approached this course in a similar way?
If you get an intuition about something, how about just making the assumption that it COULD be true? Where might that take you? Bring in your imagination! And if it isn’t true, well, is there any danger in that? Probably not.This learning process feels to me like learning how to see in the dark. At first I don’t see much at all, but if I am patient, things begin to appear in vague ways. Sometimes I find I’m totally mistaken about what I think I’m seeing. But that’s part of the learning process too.
At first, I was feeling frustrated because I was hoping to be able to speak in words and concepts with the animals I met. I now understand that that’s an advanced skill that I haven’t yet developed. But what I AM able to do now is to feel a genuine connection with an animal, and get a sense of their personality. I am also noticing that animals seem to like being near me, and many come over to say hello. They seem to be able to sense that I’m reaching out to them. So I’m just going to keep going with this for a while, and see if this ability deepens into something more.
The dream you had about your horse’s mother sounds very significant. I now understand that animals mostly communicate through emotions. That was the first thing I was able to pick up from my two cats. So it sounds to me like you’re well on the way!
I think the other thing I’ve learned is to stop doubting myself. This is a whole new paradigm of communication that we are learning. I now understand that it takes time. I can see forward progress in my own skills, and it sounds like it’s happening for you too. What if you set aside that doubt and just go with an open, curious mind? I think doubt in itself can be a big hindrance to progress.
So those are my two cents, coming from a fellow beginner.
Warm regards from Sunada

Hi Dani and Sunada,
First of all I want to congratulate you, Sunada, for your brilliant insights. It took me many years to come to this understanding.
Dani, don’t give up and don’t get frustrated. Try to be aware of what happens, when you tune into an animal. I want to give you examples of things that happened to me:
I started this journey more than 10 years ago, when Val offered the first in person online courses that were the basis for the home study courses. I am one of those people that get info by just knowing and feeling. This feels still today like I am making it all up in my mind. During the exercises I often had an idea what was going on with the animal and later Val confirmed this. But I kept dismissing this as mere coincidence. I never dared to speak up, because of my doubts that I could really connect with animals. One day Val gave us a picture of a small dog and as homework we should find out why this dog was hiding in dark places. I printed the picture and placed it on my desk. Every time I looked at it, I felt a sharp headache. After a few days I was frustrated and angrily threw the print away, because the bad quality gave me such a bad headache. During the next class Val told us that the dog was hiding because of strong headaches. Over the next few years I had a few more such ‘coincidences’. Each time it happened, I admitted a little more that maybe there really is a connection. I never felt any different than before, there was no sign of connection. It was simply that I asked a question and suddenly had an idea about the answer.About 6 years later I had a turning point. One night one of my feral cats came with a fishing hook drawn through her cheek and about 20 metres of fishing line hanging out of her mouth. My first reaction was sheer panic. If she got caught in a bush, she would rip her face to pieces. I had never been able to touch this cat. At that point the only solution was animal communication. I sat on my veranda and calmed my mind. Then I looked at this cat and told her, I want to help. I imagined picking her up carefully and carrying her indoors, then cutting the line and finally removing the hook. Then I waited quietly. After a short while the cat came and sat next to me. I did exactly what I had imagined and she did not move. Since then I know beyond any doubt that there is a connection. On that day I started conquering my fear. I commenced sharing what I believed I received from animals. And the more positive feedback I got, the more I trusted in the process.
So, my advice is, don’t wait for years like I did. Go through the animal teachers in our club page and see which animals attract you. Be quiet and look at the picture. Have an investigative mind. Don’t try to force anything. Just ask yourself, I wonder what type of being this animal is, quiet, lively, friendly or shy, playful… Be curious. And then share what feelings came up. In this club you are safe to try and learn. Nobody will laugh about you, we are all on the same path.

Oh Klaudia. That is a wonderful sharing. Thank you. It gives me insight into developing the less strong aspects to my awareness. Your story about the wild kitty with the fishhook bought me to tears. So beautiful. Thank you again. xx

Hi Dani. Thanks for reaching out.
What I’m learning to trust is that if it’s in your head/thoughts/sensations/feelings or whatever and it’s just there :ie – it suddenly pops into your awareness then it’s real. Getting well centred and grounded first is the key.
Making things up i find usually takes a bit of time and effort (eg. have a fantasy about something or other) and it feels different.
Klaudia’s suggestion of practicing with the animal teachers is a really good one.
We’re all on this journey together

HI Dani,
I also get confused and stuck – and almost gave up, and I’m so thankful I didn’t. My advice is keep persevering and follow all the avenues and threads that present themselves.
I have gone from being convinced that I was getting nothing right (even though I was, and I was getting confirmation) to realising that I was demanding the information came in a particular way. But I realised that was what I like to think of as my “species arrogance”. Learning to listen to another species and hear them on their terms teaches us so much more. Since I started, the process has been slow, but it has been a thorough revisioning of my whole life. I have changed and am changing the way I relate with other humans, I’m getting insight into horrible health issues. I have reconnected with myself, with my real nature, rather than the trying to fit in with others, I have changed so much in my life so I am much happier, a whole healing process – no wonder it took “a long time” – in those terms it didn’t really. I still need to constantly slow down, listen – and now I’ve realised I need to learn to interpret. I stayed with thee accountability game even though I kept repeating: nothing nothing nothing. I had a breakthrough 15 minutes session with Val that helped me break through. After learning to connect with my spirit animal, I asked her to help me communicate with my dog – that worked really well and I think I’m going to carry on with that until my confidence grows.I’mlearning that this group of people from all over the world is really special and important. Like in so many things, the journey is important. Keeping going seems to be the key. Big hugs, Rosemary -

Wow! You have all give such amazing advice! So right on! I am inspired to reaffirm, reconnect with my intuition. I have been frozen in fear and doubt for long enough, this is my wish and desire for myself and all of you who feel stuck. So grateful that you are sharing. Thank you.

Hi Dani
That is a great decision 😺
The trust in yourself is the most difficult part of the whole journey, at least in my experience. Yesterday I listened to an interview with Ana Beytenbach on YouTube and she talked about this. She was asked how she communicates with other species and said that she concentrates on her breathing to give her mind something to do without disturbing her and then she gets absolutely quiet and just listens.
Don’t take it too seriously and just wait what comes to you, and don’t have any expectation in which form you will receive the answers to your questions.I wish you good luck and a lot of fun in your journey.
