Animals See You (As You)!

What happens in the moment when we finally see another being for who they really are? When we are willing to let go of our expectations of an animal or another human and be able to see them without judgment, letting go of our need for them to be something other than who they truly are? Such as that little chihuahua who is really an alpha male in “disguise.”

This turning point moment of seeing another being as they are (or ourselves) can happen rather suddenly

Sometimes we see a person for who they could be. We view glimpses of the best in them. Or maybe even the best in ourselves. This is the potential that the animals see in us all of the time and are just waiting for us to own it. And what does this have to do with animal communication?

I consulted with one of my teacher cats, TirNa, for more

TirNa: We are perfectly content with ourselves. That is why we can see you completely as you are and not have to look away from the parts of you that humans might consider “ugly” (both inside and out). It is because you don't scare us. We are OK with who we are and have no fears about being unhappy with ourselves (inside or out) now or in the future. We do not judge.

Me: So why these sudden moments of clarity for humans where we are able to see either a person or an animal in their wholeness?

TirNa: Have you noticed it's when you are “done” trying to control a person or an animal? Done trying to make them be what you want them to be? It is when you are empty of that kind of energy. Then you see who they really are. This is when you best communicate with and receive information from us.

Me: In fact, this is at the heart of what I teach. That in order to really understand an animal we must put aside all of our preconceived notions and judgments of what an animal is capable or feeling or thinking.

TirNa: You can get to this point faster by accepting and loving yourselves. Then you are clear and open to all communication from animals. You can only truly connect with others if you are able to accept yourself. Love yourself. Then you are not worried about what others think so you are not hiding parts of yourself. We can connect with the Creator of the Universe to get to this place within ourselves.
