In my last post, I talked about how to get more animal communication practice. As promised, here are some more suggestions to help you get more practice.
ESP Apps
I resisted the idea of these apps when I first learned about them—the idea of mixing technology and spirituality feels kind of icky to me.
But over time I’ve come to accept that technology can be a useful tool in helping to heighten your intuition, which in turn improves your animal communication.
There are many apps available, and I find myself using a few most often. I encourage you to try several and see what feels best to you. Here are a couple of my favorites.
ESP Trainer
This simple app looks a bit like the old Simon electronic game. There are four colored squares, one of which is hiding a photograph. All you do is tap the one where you feel the photograph is hiding.
If you’re right, the photo is revealed, and if not, the app shows you which square was correct, then resets for another round. There are 24 rounds.
99¢ on Apple iOS, $4 (with more exercises) on Android.
Stargate ESP
This app asks you a series of either/or questions about a photo that is revealed at the end of the questions. The goal is to quiet your mind and “see” as much about the photo as you can.
Because most of our domestic animals are very visual in nature, this is great practice for the visual aspects of animal communication.
99¢, available for Apple iOS only
I’ve found my performance in both apps improves dramatically the more relaxed I am, and the quieter my brain is. The more I work at it, or try to do well, the worse I do!
Even though you’re not actively communicating with animals by using these apps, you are training yourself to adopt a quiet, receptive state, and training yourself to receive visual information. Both of these are hugely valuable in improving your animal communication!
Automatic Writing
Automatic writing is a tool that many people use to access their higher wisdom or inner guidance. You can also use it to practice animal communication.
The basic process is to set an intention for your session, such as, “What can I do to improve balance in my life?” Or, in the case of animal communication, something like, “Tell me what it’s like to be you.”
You can try this exercise with your own pets, or friends’ pets (with their permission), or with wildlife.
Next, you’ll want to clear your mind, however best works for you: through breathing, a short meditation, music, etc.
Now pick up a pen and start writing whatever flows through you. Your goal is to receive, without your conscious mind getting in the way.
Don’t bother with thinking about or interpreting the words as they’re coming out. Just write, write, write!
Some people find it helpful if they do this exercise without ever lifting pen from paper, and without stopping at all. Do whatever you have to do to keep the pen moving, even if that means throwing a few nonsense words in there or some curlicues.
This exercise works best for me when I use my left hand instead of my dominant right hand. My brain can’t second guess what I’m doing when it’s concentrating hard on the physical act of writing the letters!
I’d encourage you to use pen and paper if you can, since it is a bit more artistic and less cerebral than typing on a keyboard, but if you have to type, that’s okay too.
When you’re first experimenting with this technique, you may want to set a timer of 5 or 10 minutes and keep writing until your time is up.
Now look at what you wrote. Are there any facts here you can confirm? For example, if you spoke to the birds in your neighborhood, did they tell you about a food they like? Can you confirm that by reading about what that bird eats?
Or, if you spoke with a friend’s animal, read your friend what you wrote and ask them to verify it. Chances are, you’re getting a lot more right than you think!
Egads, I still haven’t told you about my favorite way to get more animal communication practice, but this installment is getting kind of long… so stay tuned!
