Wind Chime Wisdom

“There is always music amongst the trees… but our hearts must be
very quiet to hear it.”

This wind chime found me during my excursion to pick out my new Lab pups. Given the fact that my log house is nestled “amongst the trees,” the wisdom is even more personal.

Not only our hearts, but more importantly, our minds must be still. Shutting down our litany of thoughts is a key factor in unlocking telepathic communication. For me, it was the most difficult part of animal communication.

Being responsible for a veterinary office, equine hospital and horse farm kept me running all day. My mind was consumed with thousands of thoughts, maybe tens of thousands. How do you control that?

My teacher suggested color meditation. This technique entertained my mind while I ignored my thoughts. It was extremely difficult, but my need to talk to animals gave me the patience and discipline necessary.

I hadn’t an extra minute to spare, but because of my deep desire to communicate, I made time. I meditated twice daily keeping those pesky thoughts at bay longer and longer while locked away in my bedroom. Looking back, I smile at the isolation I needed then.

By quieting our minds and hearts, we can touch that place within where our true intelligence resides. With quiet hearts and minds, we can hear the subtle messages of the animals & plants, the divas & faeries, the water spirits & elementals. When our thoughts cease, the door to our soul bursts open.

Divine Ice - Paul Nicklen gives us a glimpse of Arctic wonder

~ I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
- John Burroughs -

Polar Obsession. What an amazing treasure awaits with this book! Paul Nicklen is my guest Thursday, 11/12/09, on Conscious Living.

The ice encrusted world he explores and shares through his lens is absolutely breathtaking. And beyond that, his encounters with the wildlife who thrive in that arctic Eden are priceless.

This is a world most cannot engage - even on an extreme tourist trip...an ecosystem that changes as we continue to remove and/or damage all that supports it. The world Paul showcases requires a certain indomitable aptitude and ability to navigate, as well as a robust physical nature and a body thermostat comfortably set at Ice Cube.

One of the Perks

Having recently returned from the sun and surf of Aruba, I’ve just benefited from one of the perks of being an animal communicator. Even though I know I’ve left my animal family in good hands, all they know is that I’m GONE.

As I leave the barn, I share my plans with Stormy. Hana and Saba watch me remove their crates from the car and pack my suitcase, so they’re unhappy and worried. I share my plans with them plus an explanation about vacations just before I go.

Once I get to my destination, I tell them that I’ve arrived. I usually don’t communicate again until starting back unless I get an intuitive feeling to check-in. I know they miss me, but they cope better because they understand that I’ll be back. It helps me too by assuaging any guilt I’m feeling about leaving them.

Several years ago I called to tell my pet sitter that I was heading home and asked how things were. She replied, “Licorice has been barking a lot and acting really lively the past two days.” I chuckled and admitted that I’d told him about my return two days earlier. He was almost 15. Having lost his brother five months earlier, I’d worried about leaving him and checked-in numerous times.

I still get blown away every time I hear unsolicited proof that telepathic communication works. Being able to communicate with my animals does make vacations easier on all involved. Try it!

My First Conscious Connection

The police called about a deer in someone’s yard with a fawn partially born. They were calling my husband, the horse vet, for help. We rushed over, but the fawn was dead. The doe was covered with a blanket and stayed very calm while my husband removed the fawn. He gave her an antibiotic injection and tetanus vaccination. She never moved a muscle. She knew we were helping her.

A discussion ensued about what to do with her. One officer had a friend that kept deer in a pen. I wanted her to remain free. My husband suggested we give her time to return to the woods. We would check back in an hour. The officer wanted to call his friend, but agreed to wait.

Before leaving I lifted the blanket, so I could see her. Her huge, beautiful brown eyes reflected such sadness and gratitude. It was an amazing exchange – soul to soul. It was the most rewarding experience. It was priceless….

We came back, but she and the blanket were gone. I was so worried that the officer had taken her. He said he hadn’t, but I didn’t believe him. Where was the blanket?

I discussed the situation with my psychic teacher. She said, “Ask the doe.” I looked stunned, since I’d only recently started my studies. I closed my eyes, “asked” the doe and heard, “I ran into the woods, and the blanket fell off after a mile.” I was so happy and proud. I can do this!

Like almost everyone else in the world. I started out believing that being able to communicate intuitively with animals was pure science fiction. ~ Marta Williams

Around the world, people are starting to see how communication with other species enhances all life. Whether you want to enrich your relationship with one pet or plan serious study of animal communication, Ask Your Animal will deeply inspire your direction.

Prior to becoming an animal communicator, Marta Williams worked as a wildlife biologist and environmental scientist. Intrigued by the idea of intuitive communication with animals, she set out to learn all that she could about the subject, a path which led her to become a full-time animal communicator.

Ask Your Animal outlines the author’s insightful approaches to more rewarding relationships with animals. Williams believes these are skills we can all cultivate. Woven throughout the book are heartfelt anecdotes of the myriad ways people have tapped into the information animals offer to us. Pet lovers will recognize these situations - from the horse that won’t trailer load to the rescue dog that attacks other animals to the cat that refuses food when her owner is away.

Each section includes simple instructions designed to help resolve the challenge and nurture confidence in the apprentice animal communicator. Williams encourages readers to listen, gain fresh perspectives, and discover creative new paths to success. Included are tools to calm a distressed animal, resolve negative behavior, such as jumping up on people or digging, eliminate aggression, and teach a hypersensitive or fearful animal to accept and even enjoy being handled.

There is an entire chapter devoted to using intuition to find a lost animal and another on coping with death, two situations that owners find particularly distressing. One of the more unique features of the book is the final chapter, focused on new ways of relating to the wild creatures with which we share the planet.

Ask Your Animal is a vital resource deserving of a permanent spot on the bookshelf. No animal lover will be the same after reading it.

Marta Williams, author of Learning Their Language and Beyond Words, lives in Northern California and travels internationally to lecture and teach. She consults by phone and email with people and their animals throughout the world. Visit Marta at: www.martawilliams.com.

Therapy dog Baxter moves on...

The amazing story of Baxter the Therapy dog highlighted - for me - the soul connections we make with pets through unconditional loving presence. I loved hearing and seeing how this gentle being impacted his patients and opened a window to joy and acceptance to all who were fortunate to share his energy. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

He will be missed but the story he took part in and the life he modeled gives yet another recipe for sharing quality time with animals -- last moments are no less valuable than the moments preceding them. If you missed Baxter's story - He is here in the video for inspiration... and in spirit for reunion.



Baxter, the worlds best, most devoted, and oldest therapy dog, 19 years and 6 months, eased peacefully from his life on Friday afternoon, October 16th, 2009.

You can purchase his Book "Moments With Baxter" - ALL proceeds
from the sale of the book are being donated to charity.

Gentle Ben

Three years before my epiphany I experienced my first telepathic communication, although I was totally unaware of it. Luckily, my dog knew about my hidden ability.

Shortly after I was married I got my first Yellow Lab, Gentle Ben. For the next 13-plus years Ben worked on our farm with me. He had an uncanny ability to tell sick horses from healthy ones. Ben helped with every foaling. As soon as I’d let him, Ben would be in the stall cleaning the foal. Every mare allowed him access, which was astonishing.

When he was 13 1/2 years old Ben got sick. It was digestive and didn’t seem that serious. I slept downstairs with him, so I could be close if he needed help. After two days of intense care I thought he was improving. The next morning he stood over his breakfast dish, looked at me and slumped to the floor. “I can’t do this anymore.”

I turned cold with the realization that he was dying. I told my husband through uncontrollable tears, “I think I’m being selfish. It’s time for Ben to go Home.” Our dear friend and small animal vet quickly came to the farm. Gentle Ben’s wish was granted. I was crushed.

At the time I thought I’d had a knowing; that my imagination had created the words I needed to hear. Three years later I realized they were Ben’s words not mine. I was an animal communicator whether I was aware of it or not. Ben was showing me this with his last lesson for me.
