It is so interesting to me how those above show me in so many different ways what I need to be addressing either on my blog and/or in my newsletter. Recently I have had numerous people refer to me as a Pet Psychic. The local news discussing an event I volunteered at stated there was a “Dog Psychic” at this event when the booth I was at had my correct title across it, Animal Communicator.So let me break this down for you and why it’s so important to me people understand the terminology.

Psychic is a person who can foresee the future. They can have premonitions and hear what may happen in the future and help with a choice you may need to make. People who are only Psychics can not speak to those in another dimension.

Medium is a person who can communicate with loved ones whom have crossed over, angels, guides and a higher power. People who are only Mediums can not foresee the future. Some of us can be Psychic and Mediums. John Edward is a good example of both.

Animal Communicator is a person who can communicate with any animal. We all do it differently and most communicators receive images from the animals, as that is how animals communicate with each other.  I receive images and my brain will translate their thoughts into words and sentences for me.  I also receive their physical feelings and emotions. 

Based on the above information, I’m not a Pet Psychic because I can communicate with all animals including the snake living in my backyard. He’s not a pet, but he actually told me his name, Apple. Great, I have a snake with a sense of humor living in my backyard. I guess it’s better to have a funny one and as long as he doesn’t offer me one, I’m okay.

I don’t call our animals living with us “pets” most of the time, as that term tends to demean them. I like animal family member or animal companion. When working with the animals I don’t bring out my bone or fish shaped (depending on the animal) crystal ball. “Awww, I see treats in your future.”  I’m not telling their future, I’m talking with them. Calling me a Dog Psychic was very off. All my kitty and horse friends take offense.

Okay, so now for abilities we have in this profession. There are four of them. Each of us has at least one and some of us all four. I find most people have one strong ability and another weaker one. I do have all four and some are stronger than others.

Images – I receive quick snapshots during readings. Recently a dog was telling me what his favorite procession was and I got an image of a red round circle in my mind. When I explained to the parent what I was seeing, he explained that was the dogs Frisbee which was his favorite toy. The images may be symbolic as well. John Edward talks about seeing musical notes rising from people and couldn’t understand what that meant because when asked these people had nothing to do with music. He finally realized when people pray they have these musical notes going to Heaven.

Sounds – I get words in my head. It may be just one word or a few sentences. So there is a lot of interpretation going on during sessions. It usually sounds like my own voice, but can sound like another person’s voice. At times I can hear sounds/voices with my ears as well. I had a client walk in and heard very clearly a cat meowing.

Emotions and physical sensations – I pick up on emotions coming from people and animals, which help me, interpret the images and sounds I’m getting. I can also receive where they are feeling pain in their physical body.  At times I will smell my grandfather’s pipe and know he is around. All my senses can be involved.

Knowingness – Ever just know something without understanding how or why you know it? I may be with a client and just know something about them without a doubt. I may suddenly know not to turn down that road or know an animal will be running in front of my car soon.

How does all this actually work?  Don’t worry I’m not getting all scientific on you.  There are books out there explaining this in more detail you can find if you are interested. 

Animal Communication

We are all energy and that energy from all of us is around us all the time. All our thoughts, words, emotions, desires, etc. is energy. If I see a photo of an animal my mind will automatically go towards their energy they are putting out and will connect with them and they with me. My mind interprets that energy and depending on the animal and energy I receive it in one or more of the abilities discussed above. After all, when people talk to each other it is energy that is passing back and forth between us. Our brains interpret that energy and we communicate.

I find most people are communicating with their animals and hear them all the time. Their brains are familiar with their animal’s energy. But, because it sounds like their own thoughts and voices they don’t realize what is happening. So many times I hear the animal tell me their mommy and daddies are hearing them just fine and to please listen. I get asked a question about the animal and the answer they receive just confirms what they had thought already. No they didn’t think it, they were hearing their animals.

I will never forget receiving a call from a young woman who wanted to know why her cat was acting in certain ways. Every time she told me of the issue she would state what she thought the reason. She did that about six times in a row. By the third one I was having a hard time from not laughing out loud as she answered her own question each time perfectly. Than she wanted to book a session. I politely declined even though that would have been very easy money. I did advise her she knew the reasons already; she was hearing her cat. All she had to do was take care of the reasons and TADA issues resolved.

Mediumship

Along with communicating with animals this is one of my strongest abilities. Because we are energy there is a vibration we generate. Ours is slower. My energy vibration has to increase and theirs will decrease in order for us to communicate. At times this can cause me to get cold, but I tend to get a very dry mouth from it. Those above will send me images, thoughts, words, emotions, physical sensations and knowingness.

Being able to give messages from someone’s loved ones, angels and spirit guides is so important and I hope to leave people feeling better and maybe at times add some healing. I always say if I had one wish it would be one day with my dad here on earth to talk with him, hold him and hear all he has to say. What I do is just a sliver of that wish for people.

Psychic

I have to admit this is my least favorite thing to do. Everyone’s angels and spirit guides will tell you some information for the future, but I have found they prefer you learn by not knowing. Also, any ethical Psychic will tell you even the best of us are only 75 to 85 percent correct for numerous reasons. One of them being you changed your own future. There are always many paths we can take and free will is a gift given to us.

As you can see, the terms Psychic, Medium and Communicator are not interchangeable. In this field some of us don’t bother correcting people or they may not know themselves. Those above are telling me for reasons I don’t entirely know yet, to go a head and teach those who wish to know.
