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?”
