Hi Kim >>>>I agree with all of this. I have to admit that I am pretty sceptical about some of the people who communicate with animals for a living. I absolutely believe in animal communication, I have had some very eerie experiences myself and believe that I have a special connection with all animals. I do believe that these people "fill in" a lot though, even if they are actually able to communicate, they are doing this for a living and have to please the people to keep the people coming back.
I would agree with lots of this. I think we can all communicate and some people 'get things' in different ways than others. I just get sudden thoughts about things while I am working with a horse but don't intentionally try to communicate. My big thing is that I can be skeptical about even things I get. I have used quite a few animal communicators for a variety of reasons. For me it either confirms things I already know; gives me a new direction to go in or I just discount it as not useful or applicable. Sometimes things are so obvious that anyone could say them but I have had some specific incidences that were very helpful. I recently called an intuit veterinarian named Donna Starita - I have used her a couple of times with very positive results. I called her because my dog Roy, a Belgian Shepard, who is just 3 years old - has been lame for a year - it started in what looked like his right shoulder and about 6 weeks ago suddenly he was more lame in the left - not even weight bearing when he is standing. I have gone the traditional route - x-rays for OCD; blood tests - no one can give a diagnosis. I have had acupuncture and chiropractics, he has had some Reiki - which he growled at (this dog is not a growler); he accepts TTouch readily but nothing changes his soreness throughout his whole body. His coat has changed color and texture in the middle of his back where he has a lot of sensitivity. So anyway, I figured that I needed to find some other suggestions. I sent her a photo and information on what we had done and the tests that had been run etc. She feels that he has inflammatory arthritis and inflammation in the connective tissues and I am giving him supplements to help his body cope. She also gave him a very high potency detox of Thuja because of the vaccinations he received earlier in his life. I have only just started him on the program so we will see what happens. I personally would not choose a name or a colour to buy for my animals based on an animal communicator and of course there is always their interpretation on what they are getting - that goes for all forms of communication. But it can be interesting and helpful for lots of people. Sue I will check with Gillian about the trade for Kolur - I don't think there was anything involved with a grey horse or any horse but I will ask. In the spring I met an animal communicator in Sweden who just asks for a photo and the name and age of the animal and doesn't want to know anything else. She does a communication and then tells people what she got and answers questions they might have. To me this is the only way you could get information that not biased by what they already know.
