Observe the interaction between the animals and people

When learning to communicate with animals observe the animals when they are interacting with each other. You can learn a lot about the animals by just watching them, see how they behave around each other, see how they play with each other see how they enjoy each others company or if they start to misbehave or even fight. Which animal is the dominant, which one the submissive one? What else can you observe?

Observe how your pet is interacting with visitors, watch them how they approach strangers etc.

Observe if different animals can get along with each other. From their behaviour, we can learn so much.

From observing all the animals around us we can learn to understand them and if we are open enough, to learn about ourselves.

I have found that animals also are very good at telling us what the weather will be like the next day. Especially my Lorikeets are good at telling me what the weather will be like, if it is going to be cold they seem to eat double the amount than usual, if they do a lot of screaming and arguing it will be a windy day and so on. The problem is, one gets too busy to observe and take notice of what one observes and so often misses what the animal is telling us. 

How are your pets toward you? How are they behaving when you are around? I noticed that one of my dogs get very nervous when I am in a bad frame of mind, she gets hyperactive and confused, this shows her personality and often if I see it and observe if I can make changes in my day to be in a better frame of mind. My other dog gets very quiet and looks depressed so she is telling me to change and be happy so she can feel better too.

So often, when we observe our pets we can learn from them. We can see how they interact with each other and so often I feel if only humans would take note of it. Animals do not judge and do not worry what you look like or how much money you have in the pocket, they love you anyway. 

One of my cats had been caught by a car and had damaged his front leg his paw is paralysed and he had his jaw broken in many places. He has recovered really well and he is my miracle cat, here in the neighbourhood all the other cats love him and allow him to come on their property, they all respect him, they do not judge him.

So take note of what you observe, become aware of what you see. Don't be too busy to notice what your animal is telling you as you may be able to learn something from them. Slow down, take a deep breath and just stop for a moment and watch your animal.

Listen Observe and become Aware

Listen, observe and become aware is a must when you want to be able to understand your pet or animal you come across, or if you want to understand nature or everyday people and situations.
Observe, do it with your eyes, ears, nose, and your heart, feel, sense, and listen, then become aware of what you see, hear, smell, sense, feel, listen to your heart.

When I communicate with an animal, I always the first tune into my heart centre, I go deep within me feeling my own heart, then I bring the pet into my heart and connect with it on a heart level. I feel the heartbeat of the animal, it is as if we become one.
Through this connection, I start to understand the language of the animal. I feel what it feels I smell what it smells, I hear what it hears, and I know the animal.

As I have been working on myself for many, many years now I have become aware what is my own stuff, e.g. my emotions or my feelings about a situation that the animal is in, this helps me to disconnect from my own emotions and feel what is going on in the animal.
I find it so incredibly hard to do with my own animals as to disconnect my emotions from them is very difficult.

The listening, observing and awareness about the animal has to be free of your own emotional feelings, judgements and prejudice.
This is why I work from my heart centre, it helps me to detach and feel safe. When I go into my heart I feel safe, I feel connected to the animal I am working with, no outside influences or distractions.

Animals are pure, their communication is straight to the point and simple. They are devoted to their owner so if the owner is a very closed person, not prepared to learn from the animal the animal will not communicate. It will close off. Pets are great teachers if we only would listen if we just would have the courage to acknowledge the teachings of our animals, from nature. Then our animals will guide us, teach us and communicate with us. We need to open our hearts and let them in, let them guide us let them show us.

Awareness is the key, become aware of everything that is around you, yourself this requires you to live in the moment, to see, hear, smell, feel and understand. Move from your headspace or mind into your heart. When communicating with animals or nature, healing comes about if you allow the awareness to be in your life, the healing comes to you and to the animals when you are able to connect on that deep level. The same goes for when you communicate with people, listening to the radio or watching TV, observe, listen and become aware, you will learn to see yourself. Observe what you feel think and how you react!! Listen Observe and become Aware.

observe the hedghog family

Last autumn I had a hedgehog family in the back garden. They build a home to stay over winter to hibernate. On a lovely sunny day, the baby hedgehogs came out of their hiding place to play and eat and just have fun.
The mother hedgehog kept a fantastic eye on the three little once, and it was just beautiful to watch them and observe them.
In my ebook "Listen Animals Talk" I wrote a lot of observing. When we are just quiet and watch the animal, we get so much from them. We learn how they interact with each other, we learn about nature, we learn to understand the language of the animals.
Observe the hedgehogs in the video and see how they play, watch, check things out, the words that come to mind is curiosity, playful, alert, hide, etc. what can you see and what can you learn from the hedgehog?

Often the hedgehog is misunderstood, people worry about them as it was believed that they carry diseases. Yet the hedgehog is so precious to the gardener as it takes care of all the slugs and snails.
So next time you see a hedgehog, observe it, I have rescued many hedgehogs, and they have a special place in my heart. I felt their energy, the gentleness, yet able to defend themselves, curious and inquisitive, and the eyes express love and kindness.
