Communication by Akshaya

"We can judge the heart of a person by their treatment of animals." — Immanuel Kant Cruelty is a heavy word. For many of us, it brings to mind images of deliberate harm—violence, neglect, or abandonment. But cruelty isn’t always intentional. Sometimes it shows up in small, quiet ways. An irritated tone. A rough tug. An unmet need that was easy to overlook. The truth is, cruelty isn’t always a decision—it’s often a lack of awareness. And yet, the impact is real. Especially on animals. Animals feel discomfort, fear, confusion, and sadness. They may not speak our language, but they understand tone. They pick up on energy, body posture, and intention. They remember how they’re treated. And they respond—not with blame or retaliation, but with behavior that reflects what they’ve experienced. When we hurt an animal—intentionally or not—they may become fearful, shut down emotionally, or try to avoid us. Some become anxious, some defensive. But very few animals seek to cause harm in r...

Intuitive communication isn't something reserved for a chosen few. It’s not some rare magic gifted only to certain people. In truth, it’s something that exists in all of us—quietly, instinctively, and often waiting patiently beneath the surface of our busy lives. Whether we long to understand animals more deeply, connect with our own bodies, tune into energy, or communicate with the world in non-verbal ways—intuition is already within reach. But despite this natural ability, many of us feel stuck. We feel the pull toward deeper connection but also hesitate. We question ourselves. We hold back—not because we lack the ability, but because of the quiet, convincing stories we’ve told ourselves over time. These stories aren’t flaws. They’re gentle defense mechanisms built from fear, comparison, perfectionism, or even past hurt. They arise when we’re stepping into something powerful and new. Here are six of the most common stories many of us carry—and how we can begin to shift them, lovi...

Many of us believe we found our animal companions by chance. Maybe we saw a photo online. Maybe they showed up at our doorstep. Maybe a friend asked us to foster, and we agreed without really knowing what to expect. But when we take a step back and look at the bigger picture, it often feels like it wasn’t random at all. It starts to feel like they found us. And more than that — they chose us. Not in any dramatic or obvious way. But in a quiet, undeniable way. A feeling. A connection. A moment of recognition that didn’t need words. They Saw Something in Us A lot of us believed we were helping them. That we were rescuing them, offering care, safety, and a better life. And in many ways, we were. But what we often don’t realize right away is that our animal companion was also there to support us — sometimes even more than we supported them. Many of us met our animal companions at challenging times. During a breakup, a personal loss, a move, or some other emotional turning point. And withou...

Losing an animal companion is one of the most deeply painful experiences many of us will ever go through. For those of us who have shared our lives with an animal, we know they are never “just pets.” They’re family. They're companions, healers, and quiet witnesses to our lives. They see us at our best and our worst, and they stay by our side through it all. So when they leave this world, the grief can feel overwhelming. We look around and expect to see them in all the usual places — by the door, on the couch, curled up in their favorite spot. We instinctively move to fill their food bowl or hear phantom sounds that used to be theirs. Their absence touches everything: our routines, our quiet moments, even our sense of comfort and home. This kind of loss is real. And it's valid. But there’s something important to remember: animals don’t see life and death the way we do. Animals Don’t Fear the End Like We Do Unlike us, animals don’t spend time worrying about what comes next. They ...

They Speak. We Just Forgot How to Listen. Every day, animals are communicating with us. Not through language, but through something deeper — their energy, emotions, actions, and subtle shifts in behavior. We often miss it, not because the messages aren’t clear, but because we’ve forgotten how to truly listen. Think about the dog who waits by the door before you leave for work. There’s a stillness in that moment. His eyes carry stories — not just about needing a walk, but about how he feels your mood. He senses your stress. He notices your sadness. He’s holding space for you, quietly, patiently. Or the cat who disappears into another room when arguments start at home. She’s not just hiding — she’s responding. She’s absorbing the tension in the air and choosing distance, not because she doesn’t care, but because she feels everything and is trying to stay balanced. Maybe you’ve noticed how birds sing louder on days you feel more hopeful. Or how cows walk more slowly when you’re feeling me...

Have you ever noticed that just when life feels like it's crashing down around you, an animal shows up? A dog, a cat, even a bird — seemingly out of nowhere. It happens so often, and to so many people, that it's hard to chalk it up to pure chance. Maybe it was a puppy that came into your life right after a painful breakup. Maybe it was a kitten who showed up when you finally moved into a place on your own and felt more alone than ever. Maybe it was an older dog who came to you after you'd lost someone close, when your heart felt like it couldn’t hold one more ounce of grief. It feels almost magical. Like they knew. Animals Don’t Just Show Up — They Arrive With Purpose This isn't just a comforting thought — it's a truth that's repeated again and again in the world of Animal Communication. People who practice this intuitive connection with animals see a clear pattern: animals show up during our biggest life changes. Not randomly, not for fun, but with meaning and ...
