I have been using the services of animal communicators for over 10 years and
they have helped me better understand my pets and provide them with better
care.  Nowadays when I want to know what my dogs are thinking, I ask for help
from Carol Schultz, who has been  a professional animal communicator for
over 7 years working with clients in northern Illinois, Wisconsin, and across the
country.  Carol has agreed to share her insight about animal communication
with the readers of the Lotus Resource Guide.

Q.  Carol, how do you communicate with animals?  Do you hear their voices?
A.      Animal Communication is a process of receiving messages from the animals
telepathically.  It can be described as a heart-to-heart and mind-to-mind connection,
and a language that is energetic, or intuitive, in nature.  I think we all each
acknowledge our “gut feel” or intuitive side surfacing for us, in our own individual
ways.  
    Telepathic communication can be effectively received as pictures,
thoughts/words, emotions, sensations, smells, and tastes.  So, yes, it can be
received as if you are internally “hearing” how animals would speak with a
voice/personality.  Often (about 50% of the time in my case) it comes across clearly
in unique voices and intonations.  Sometimes it is simply a sense of their unique
personality and nature, and not necessarily a totally different “voice”.  It is incredibly
interesting and fun to experience how they wish to express themselves, just as if
meeting human personalities from all parts of the country who share their own
viewpoints on life, relationships, and much more.

Q.  Can anyone learn to communicate with their pets?
A.  The gift of receiving telepathic communication from animals is something we are
all born able to do.  Our society simply does not actively foster this as our children
mature.  By the time children are 5 or 6 years old, most begin to lose or not discuss
their abilities to sense the animals intuitively.  Therefore, as adults, we are simply
remembering or become reawakened to something we were already born able to
do.  Enhancing ones awareness of the topic and the facets of animal communication
can help to reopen this precious gift, and connect more deeply with our domestic
companions, and animals in nature.  

Q.  What types of animals have you spoken with?
A.  The process of communication is the same with all animal forms.  A significant
portion of my clientele are dogs, cats, and horses, however I have also worked with
a wide range of animal forms including birds, turtles, monkeys, snakes, bats, wolves,
ferrets, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, and whales.

Q.  I know that you don’t have to be physically present to communicate with
an animal, that you can do it from a distance.  What do you need to know to
be able to talk with a specific animal who is miles away from you?
A.  Over 99% of my work with clients is long distance/via phone, so working long
distance is typical.  For long distance work, it is important to have identifier
information for the animal, as well as the permission of their human to connect
telepathically with their companion for the session.  The animal’s identifying
information, or “long distance phone number” so to speak, is their name, gender,
approximate age, physical description, and physical address  (i.e. home, stable,
etc.).  Digital images or traditional photographs are nice to receive, but not required
for the session if one is not available.    

Q.  What are the reasons that people usually contact you to talk with their
pets?
A.   Prior to a session with their animal companion, I always request clients to
prepare questions that they would like to ask during the session.  At the start of the
session, though, I give the animal an opportunity to open with anything that they
would like to communicate before we go through the questions.  It is here where the
personality of the animal begins to shine through and the person begins to
understand their companion on a deeper level.  From there, the person will often
ask questions relating to behavior, health concerns, environment preferences, and
many other aspects.  Sometimes they will ask for feedback on other animals in the
family, their likes and dislikes, and activities the animal may be involved in, like agility
or social events.  It is also a wonderful opportunity for the person to ask some
insightful questions like “what is their life purpose?”
