Reiki is one of the most powerful spiritual and energetic tools that I use in my daily personal life, as well as in my animal communication and intuitive healing practice. As a Reiki Master-Teacher, I use Reiki daily for myself, my animal family, and with my human and animal clients.
Well, it’s here…Holiday Season 2021. In this post, I want to share some thoughts and suggestions for navigating the holidays when we are grieving the loss of our beloved animal friends and companions.
Over the years that I have been teaching animal communication and training people to become professional animal communicators, I have often been asked the question:
What Does it Take to Be a Good Animal Communicator?
I have thought about this a lot, and have noticed certain consistent qualities in the people who are excellent animal communicators–not just those who are practicing professionally, but those who are using animal communication as a life skill in their families, jobs, and communities.
Fairies…elementals…sprites…elves….gnomes…nature spirits…stories of these beings are found in almost all human cultures.
Though known by different names, and comprising many different “groups” or expressions of energy and consciousness, these beings have been understood to be an integral part of consciousness and life on Earth by human cultures and peoples for eons.
In this post, I want to share with you the one simple practice that is the foundation of everything that I teach in interspecies communication.
It’s a practice that we return to again and again in every class, every training program, and as a fundamental way of being in everyday life for people who want to regain their ability to communicate freely, openly, and clearly with animals and all beings.
Sometimes, blessings come all in a package, in a great, overwhelming cascade of joy! That’s what happened in my family last week.
Last Tuesday, I welcomed 10 1-day old bantam chicks into my animal family, including a “returnee”: Callie, who died in June, returned in this batch of chicks… and she requested to keep her same name. She’s the same breed as her previous body, and I recognized her right away. It’s such a joy to have her beautiful, sweet energy back in our physical world and in our family.
Then, two days later, I adopted precious, beautiful Marigold, a young calico cat. I’ve been waiting for her for a long time, and I’ll share more of her story as time goes on.
One of the things I often hear from people who are learning to reclaim their natural ability to communicate telepathically with animals is,
“I can’t quiet the chatter in my mind.”
It’s important to learn how to quiet our minds when opening to communicating with animals, so that we can learn the difference between our own human mental processes and thinking and direct, authentic communication from and with the animals.
I have some exciting news: I’ve scheduled the first live, in-person program since 2019! I’ll be teaching a 2-day Animal Communication Workshop in Flagstaff, AZ Oct. 2-3, 2021.
One of the topics I’m asked about frequently as an animal communicator is, “Do animals take on illness for people?”
In the occasional Hawk’s Eye posts, I share resources that I think will be interesting and helpful for my readers. In this post I’m delighted to feature a new book by Beverley Kane, MD:
I’ve just finished reading this beautiful book, and wanted to share it with you. It’s moving, easy to read, full of practical and interesting practices and information, written with a light touch and humor about the ways in which horses can teach us to be more resilient, responsive, embodied, and awake.
It’s an exciting time to be working in the field of Intuitive Interspecies Communication.
Fifteen years ago, when I first entered this field professionally, it was still considered “fringe”, a little “woo-woo”, and something that was interesting, but for the most part, definitely not worthy of serious scientific and academic study.
Coming from a background in both the arts and academia, I knew that bridging the divide between the academic, scientific, and intellectual worlds and the intuitive, telepathic, and spiritual worlds would not be easy.
In my blog posts, free resources, and courses, I talk a lot about the things that we can do to support and develop our inborn, natural interspecies communication abilities.
In this post, I want to talk about some things that can interfere with our ability to hear and understand our other-than-human companions clearly.
Like all of us these days, I’ve been watching more films online than I did pre-pandemic. As an empath and sensitive person, I often have a hard time finding films that I enjoy and that truly speak to my soul. I can’t tolerate and don’t enjoy loud, violent, or frightening films…even ones that many other people find enjoyable and interesting.
So when I find films that are beautiful, gentle, heartful, and also promote a deep awareness and understanding of animals, the Earth, and spiritual awareness, I get excited. Here are few of my favorites…I may add to this list as time goes on!

n the many years that I have been teaching interspecies communication, I have often been asked,
One of the most important things that we can do as humans is to learn how to pay attention to tension in our own bodies, and release it.
One of the questions I’m often asked is, “Do animals understand time?” And, if so, how?
In my years as an animal communicator, I have learned that many animals do have a sense and an understanding of time, but it’s often different from our human understanding and awareness.
