Reiki & Interspecies Telepathic Communication: different or the same?

Reiki & Interspecies Telepathic Communication: different or the same?

There is a long standing debate that Reiki and Animal Communication are distinctly different healing modalities. For example, when one is offering Reiki to an animal and the practitioner receives telepathic communication the practitioner is not fully focused on the Reiki session. In my experience that is not true. When one is focused and present with another, silent communication (telepathy) takes place naturally.

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word that means "spiritual energy." The Japanese word "Ki" is the same as the more familiar Chinese word "Chi" which translates to mean energy and the life force. Ki is the life force that is in every living being and thing. Reiki works on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of the body.

There are many different schools of Reiki but two main basic practices: Traditional Japanese Reiki and Modern Reiki. Modern Reiki's main focus is hands-on healing and often the practitioner believes that THEY must heal the client or that they are responsible for the client's healing.

The System of Traditional Japanese Reiki consists of various meditations, practices and techniques. There are many goals in the practice of Reiki including self-healing and relaxation. To become one with the energy, practice quieting the mind and relaxing the physical body, connecting with earth energy and heavenly energy, and  "step into" or become the "bright light," creating a lovely space where healing can take place. There is an energy exchange that can take place as the client and the practitioner are in the "space" of healing where the practitioner offers energy and the client (both human and/or animal) can choose to accept the energy that is offered or choose not to. It is up to the human or animal to heal themselves.

Just as in the practice of Reiki, there are many different styles or approaches to Interspecies Telepathic Animal Communication. First of all, what exactly is Interspecies Telepathic Communication? Telepathy means "feeling" at a distance. Feeling can be emotional feelings, physical sensations or that gut feeling or sense of knowing. This way of telepathic communication takes place not in your head but in your whole being.

Some animal communicators call themselves pet psychics. Usually they work from their heads or minds and "read" the animal's energy. They do what is called a reading and often do not ask the animals permission. 


Many of my colleagues work from the mind connection but go a bit deeper to what is called the heart-to-heart connection. There are some communicators who go even deeper with their connection to the animal by focusing on their belly/gut and connecting to the earth through their feet and whole being, very similar to the Traditional Japanese Reiki practices.

Interspecies Telepathic Communication begins by first asking permission from the animal and respecting them if they do not want to share with you at that moment in time. Using the same techniques that one uses when offering a Reiki session to an animal, the communicator centers themselves, quieting the mind and relaxing the physical body while breathing into their hara center. Next the practitioner sits in the silence with the animal waiting for a "connection" or signal from the animal that they are ready to have a two-way conversation. This process can be very quick or it can take time. The communicator sits in the silence with the animal as if they are an empty basket sitting under a peach tree waiting for the peach to ripen and gently dropping down into the waiting basket. This meditative state of being is the same as the meditative sate of being and connection when offering Reiki to a human or animal. One must be open, patient, and fully present, simply BEING with each other.
 

Offering Reiki

 It is often said that the founder of Reiki, Miako Usui, would sit in silence opposite a student and an energy exchange or healing (Reiju) would take place. No hands-on healing, just sitting opposite each other and BEING in the silence together. It is the same with animal communication. In the silence, deep communication takes place. It takes place mind-to-mind, heart-to-heart and soul-to-soul via the gut or hara center. I do not find a difference in this state of being and a 2-way exchange of energy. Energy is energy. Reiki is energy. Telepathy is energy. Are they not the same?

My feelings in my heart, mind, soul, gut (hara center) feel the same when I am doing my Reiki practice and when I am in deep communication with an animal or nature. I feel I use the same techniques to begin an animal communication session as I do when offerlng Reiki. The difference with the animal communication session is the intention. The human client hopes to learn the animal's point of view so the communicator must find a way to translate into words what comes or is exchanged as "feelings" or energy. To me the foundation for deep communication is the same foundation that one practices with the system of Reiki. I feel there are more similarities in Reiki and Interspecies Telepathic Communication than not.

Signs & Messages

Messages and Signs

When we connect deeper with our animal friends and all of nature our whole being can change. We each experience life in our own unique way. It is important that we are open to the world around us. Often we are so caught up in the stuff of life or focused on our mobile devises when we are out in the world, we miss the subtle messages and signs that are given to us every day and moment. I would like to share with you one such moment that left me speechless and in awe. 

On September 28th, 2016 my life was forever changed because it was the day that my father made his transition from this physical life to one that is fully in spirit form. I was told by a friend that it was as if he had been in a very dark cave that was covered with a boulder and suddenly the boulder was rolled away and there was light guiding him out of the darkness.

I had been asking for signs or messages from Dad and I did my best to be open to possibilities. The morning after he died I saw 3 foxes run through our yard. I have never see 3 foxes at the same time in the 30 years we have lived here, so I took that as a possible sign from Dad but was not 100% sure. 

Then a butterfly that I had never seen before or since, circled my head 3 times and landed on a flower right in front of my face. The energy of this delightful being was so high and fast and yet calm and peaceful. There was a smile in every cell of my body!

  

But it was less than one week later, the day after his funeral, as I walked out of his assisted living facility after cleaning and packing, that I…. Well I have no words. Instead I would like to share with you what I saw.

As I walked toward my car I looked at the setting sun and noticed there was a “sun dog” to the left of the sun. (A sundog is a rainbow that can appear on either side of the setting sun if conditions are right) I gasped with joy. I had just been thinking about the sundog that our kitty Sammy sent us on the day that he died in 2007. It was a big rainbow eye in the sky to the right of the setting sun. Sammy sent it again on the last day of a week long trip that I was on with the humpback whales in the Silver Bank. Again we saw the big rainbow eye on the right side of the setting sun as we headed in to our boat.  

Those were amazing but nothing compared to what I experienced this day.

I walked into the parking lot toward my car and saw this:

There were no words. No words could be spoken.

I stopped in my tracks (I did take pictures thankfully).

This photo is the sundog close up.

I was speechless and in awe.

I got in my car to begin driving home. The parking lot opened up exposing more of the sky and this is what I saw next….

I jumped out of the car to take photos because I knew no one would believe me and then I just stood there in the moment. Holy cow dad!!! Thanks!

Next I called my husband, who was at home, and asked him to run outside and look at the sun to see if he could see what I saw. The tree line blocked the sun and he told me that he could not see anything, but he looked up straight over his head and said all he could see was a rainbow and his neck was hurting from looking up like that. That seemed very strange to me and there was nothing like that were I was.

When I arrived home I stood in our drive way and looked straight up to see this….

I have never seen a rainbow in the clouds. How is this possible?

I felt like this was yet another sign from Dad, A smiling rainbow. Dad’s beautiful blue eyes and his rainbow smile looking down over the top of our house.

That was a pretty big sign and message if you ask me! I felt that my father was trying to let us know that he is just fine, actually better than fine. It was as if he was having the best time and wanted to share a tiny bit with us.

My heart still hurts so much missing him, but it is also filled with love and comfort as I am always in awe of nature, the animals and the great mystery of the all that is.

A couple of days after the Sundog my brother, nephew and I were at Dad’s apartment clearing it out and looked out the window and saw this:

I knew this too was a sign from Dad. He loved looking out his window and from time to time these big birds would sit on the top of a tree and the two of them seemed to have a conversation. This bird posed for us and seemed to be deeply and purposefully connected to us, as we stood at the window together in the moment filled with wonder and awe. There were messages but they are personal.

Always try to remember to take a moment to open to possibilities that there are signs and messages around you all the time. Look for them. They may be a shiny penny, a feather, butterflies or flowers, or a bird that seems to be singing just for your pleasure and enjoyment. Listen, feel, experience and have fun. The animals and all of nature have so much to teach and share with us.

The Morning Chatter: Sunrise

The Morning Chatter: Sunrise

(With music)

I used to be a "night owl" and still can be but I also have a great love for getting up at "o-dark-thirty". There is something magical in the moments just before the sun rises. There is a stillness, peace and calm feeling just before nature seems to wake up. The air feels different and the energy in the moment also has such a lovely feeling to it. I usually go outside to fill the bird feeders and make sure there is water in the birdbath. Sometimes the stars are still shining and I see the moon in the sky. Often in the warmer months a single deer or a family are laying down just watching me go about my chores.

In an instant, if you take a moment to pause and notice, you will notice that the sky is getting lighter and  nature is beginning to stretch and yawn. It is as if all the wild ones are helping the sun rise up through the trees. The birds begin singing and calling. Can't you just feel and hear it all?

Please enjoy this edition of The Morning Chatter as the sun begins to glow between tree trunks. The air is making the leaves and branches of the trees move, dance and sing their song. Just take a moment and BE. BE with the sun and feel it glowing as you connect with all of nature through your feet on the ground.

The Morning Chatter: Rudy & Chipmunk

The Morning Chatter

Rudy & Chipmunk

There is always something or someone catching Rudy's attention each morning. Always so much activity as the world wakes up and begins a new day. Rudy keeps watch over his kingdom and gets the "morning chatter". The Morning Chatter can be the news of the day. Each of the animals as well as insects and other begins bring news from far and wide as well as the local gossip. You never know who will show up and what they might have to say. 

This morning a chipmunk happily fills his cheeks with sunflower seeds as Rudy watches. 

What news to you receive when you connect with them? So much fun....

The Morning Chatter: Slug & Ant

The Morning Chatter

The Slug & the Ant

I think back on all the times that I felt the need to "get rid of" the slugs in the garden. Why? What did they do to me? Ok... they would eat the veggies that I planted and other things but did they really do that much harm? Did they deserve the various ways that I tried to "get rid" of them? NO! 

In this moment I happened to be walking toward something totally unrelated to a slug when I looked down and saw this one slowly but very steadily moving across my path heading somewhere. Something "told" me to get my iPhone out and record a video. I did. In the moment I connected with the slug. What a sweet soul. Maybe you might join me for a moment and watch this video and feel the slug. Feel what it is experiencing in just BEING and living. I love the antennae and its mouth as the body just seems to float on the hard surface. 

Then there is the ant that appears in the top left corner at first. I did not notice the ant until I first viewed this video. Can you "hear" or feel their communication as they notice each other. The ant is very quick and seems curious about the slug. Oh there is a very quick back and forth between them as they meet and then go their separate ways. 

I hope you enjoy this very brief moment with a slug and ant and maybe your will look at them through different eyes. I know I did.

The Morning Chatter: Winter Bluebirds

Winter Bluebirds

Can you hear the chatter? So much fun and information!

Bluebirds only seem to come to our yard in the winter when it is either snowing or extremely cold. We have a heated birdbath that attracts all kinds of wonderful beings during the below freezing time of the year. Usually they are only on the birdbath but this winter they were flocking to one of the feeders.

I was in a morning meditation and my eyes were not 100% focused when I first noticed the lovely blue color of the males. They visited several times that day. They had much to say.

I hope you enjoy spending some time with them. Let me know what messages or lessons you receive.

The Morning Chatter

The Morning Chatter with Rudy and friends.

Animal Paradise - Communication & Healing is proud to present The Morning Chatter with Rudy and Friends. The purpose and goal of Animal Paradise is to bring a deeper understanding and relationship between humans, the animal kingdoms and all creation through interspecies telepathic communication and healing energy or love.

Enjoy this video for it will introduce you to the "Spirit" of The Morning Chatter.
Rudy meditates with me each morning as the world wakes up. If you live with a kitty you are most likely familiar with the "chattering" sound they make when they see a bird, chipmunk or other critter they would be interested in playing with. The chattering is to me a fun communication. I hope you enjoy Rudy and friends.

Watch full screen 

During warmer months I do my morning meditation outside on our porch with Rudy. As the sun rises the night beings slumber while the earth seems to come alive as the beings of the daylight rise and go about their daily lives.

Did you know that the birds bring the news of the day; both local, national and international? Who needs CNN when we have the birds and the other news networks of Mother Nature? We humans just need to quiet ourselves and listen.

The squirrels begin to come down from the trees seeking fresh sunflower seed on the ground below the bird feeders. Various species of birds arrive checking to see if new birdseed has "magically" appeared in the various feeders. One arrives and then calls out in beautiful song to family and friends announcing that breakfast is served on Paradise Lane!

Usually at least one family of deer come visit for breakfast. They too carry news and messages. I will share them another day.

What is Animal Communication & How Does It Work? Part 1

What is Animal Communication and How Does It Work? 

Part 1

In part one of this article we will take a look at what Interspecies Telepathic Communication actually means.

This is a good place to begin to understand exactly what is meant by the concept of Interspecies Telepathic Communication. What do these words really mean? Then we will take a look at how it works and how you are already doing this. Each of us is born with the ability to communicate with all beings.

 

Interspecies

The most common definitions of the word Interspecies is “Existing or occurring between species.”

For our purposes we are talking about communication and interactions between humans and animals but this can also take place between insects, plants, trees, etc. When beginning to work with, learn and experience what this means to us personally we usually begin practicing with our domestic animal friends and companions.

Inter comes from Latin where it meant “between,” “among,” “in the midst of,” “mutually,” “together,” “during,” but for our purposes “between,” or “among” is a good definition.

Species means a group or class of individuals having some common characteristics or qualities capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. A species is a group of animals or plants that are similar and can produce fertile offspring.

Telepathic

The simple definition of the word telepathic is distant feelings or feeling at or from a distance.

Let’s break the word Telepathic down to better understand the root of the word,

“Tele” means “distant” transmission. Tele, from Greek, means “far, far off” or over a long distance.

“Pathic” is defined as feeling a certain way or having a certain condition, suffering, passion and disease or the quality that arouses pity. Pathic comes from the Greek and means suffering, feeling, or feeling sensitivity or perception.

For what we are doing one would say the definition of “pathic” means feeling, sensitivity or perception.

Telepathy

Tele is defined above under Telepathic.

Pathy means – denoting feelings. Examples: a combining form occurring in loanwords from Greek, where it meant “suffering,” “feeling” (antipathy; sympathy); in compound words of modern formation, often used in the meaning “morbid affection,” “disease” (arthropahty; neuropathy, psychopathy) and hence used also in names of systems or methods of treating disease (allopathy; homeopathy, etc.).

The word telephone (where Phone means sound or speech sound) means distant sound, or hearing and speaking at and from a distance.

The word Telepathic or Telepathy means distant feelings or feeling at and from a distance.

Communication

Communication comes from Latin to late Middle English and means “to share” or exchange information. Communication means the activity of communicating; the activity of conveying information.

Commune means to converse or talk together, usually with profound intensity. Commune means to communicate with someone or something in a very personal or spiritual way. To Commune is to experience strong emotion or spiritual feelings as in to commune with nature.

After absorbing this information what do you feel is the best definition of the words and concept of Interspecies Telepathic Communication?

For me, simply put, I would say it is 2-way communication between another non-human species, and ourselves via feelings over a distance without using verbal words. 

In part 2 we will take a look at how Interspecies Telepathic Communication works and what  it is.
