I spoke with a cat named Thomas this week whose person, Roxy, called with concern about how Thomas was behaving. Thomas was lying down and did not seem like he wanted to do much. Roxy was planning on taking Thomas to the veterinarian later that afternoon. As I am not a veterinarian, my role is not to diagnose or to treat illness. My involvement was for the purpose of helping Roxy to understand how Thomas was feeling and what he felt was happening from his perspective.
When I tuned in to Thomas, he quickly
brought my attention to his GI tract. It felt clear to me that he
was feeling uncomfortable/bloated and that he was unable to use the
litter box.
Roxy asked me, during our session, if
this was related to having crystals in his urine (because he
previously had experienced this issue). I took a step back and did
an energetic scan of his body. I saw a very clear and open path when
I tuned into his urinary tract. This strengthened my original
thought that the issue had something to do with his GI system. I
provided this message to Roxy, but asked that she continue to seek
the guidance of a veterinarian.
Later, Roxy called me with excitement
after her visit to Thomas' veterinarian. On intake the veterinarian
thought that it was urinary tract crystals but after further tests
found that it was in fact an issue with his GI system.
Why was this communication so
important? Trusting one's feelings and intuition is critical in
animal communication. Having been a professional animal communicator
for seven years, I have learned that you must have the confidence in
how you feel. This involves the exercise of becoming the animal.
I could physically
feel what Thomas was feeling in his own body. This is when I had to have
faith that my connection with Thomas was accurate.
A large focus in teaching animal
communication is to help students recognize what it feels like for
them to feel the condition of an animal. This is how one builds
their strength in knowing when to trust that the information they are
receiving is real.
