Communication by Akshaya

One of the questions I'm often asked during consultations is whether animals give advice. People want to know if their animal can tell them what decision to make, whether they should change jobs, move to a new city, or make a difficult choice. After communicating with animals for almost a decade, I've realised that they rarely approach these situations the way we do. They aren't interested in solving our problems. They're far more interested in helping us see them differently. As humans, we spend a lot of time thinking. We replay conversations, imagine different outcomes, worry about the future, and try to control situations that haven't even happened yet. Our minds are constantly searching for certainty. Animals don't experience the world like that. Their perspective is much simpler. They live in the present far more than we do, and because of that, they often notice things we've completely overlooked. I've had animals point out that their human is carr...

I have been practising intuitive animal communication consistently for almost a decade. Over the years, I have connected with thousands of animals, supported people through difficult decisions, listened to stories of love and loss, and held space for both animals and their humans during some of the most emotional moments of their lives. It is work that I genuinely love, and I continue to feel grateful that animals allow me to be a part of their stories. At the same time, there is an aspect of this work that is not discussed often enough: communicator fatigue. Many people assume that because intuitive communication is meaningful and fulfilling, it should never feel tiring. The reality is that any profession involving deep emotional engagement, concentration, and service to others can lead to fatigue if we are not mindful of our limits. Every communication session requires focus. It involves setting aside my own thoughts, tuning into another being's perspective, interpreting informat...

People often assume that wild animals think and feel very differently from domestic animals. While their lives are certainly different, one of the most striking things about communicating with wild animals is how clear they are about who they are and how they choose to live. Wild animals do not see themselves as needing to be rescued, managed, entertained, or protected from every challenge they face. Their lives are built around survival, adaptation, family groups, territory, migration, and responding to the natural world around them. Many of the concerns that occupy human minds simply do not exist in their reality. One of the biggest mistakes people make when communicating with wild animals is viewing them through a human lens. We often project our own emotions onto them. We may see a wild animal alone and assume it is lonely. We may see an animal facing a difficult situation and assume it feels helpless. However, wild animals frequently experience their lives very differently from ho...

One of the most common questions I receive is whether communicating with plants and trees is different from communicating with animals. In my experience, the process of communication is very similar. The way information is received, whether through thoughts, feelings, images, sensations, or direct knowing, does not fundamentally change. What changes is the lived experience of the being you are communicating with. Every living being experiences the world through its own unique perspective. A dog experiences life differently from a cat. A horse experiences life differently from a bird. In the same way, a tree experiences life differently from an animal. The difference is not in the communication itself but in what they have experienced and how they perceive their existence. Animals often speak about relationships, family members, physical comfort, routines, emotions, preferences, and interactions with the people and animals around them. Their lives are often shaped by movement, social in...

Rescue animals come from many different backgrounds. Some have experienced neglect, abandonment, abuse, or life on the streets. Others may have been surrendered by families who could no longer care for them. While every animal's story is different, many people wonder whether rescue animals carry emotional scars from their past and how those experiences affect them in their new homes. Through intuitive communication, I have found that rescue animals often focus much more on the present than humans expect. While some animals may remember difficult experiences, they do not always define themselves by what happened to them. Many are more interested in understanding their current environment, building trust, and creating new relationships than revisiting their past. One common misconception is that all behavioural challenges in rescue animals are the result of trauma. While past experiences can certainly influence behaviour, factors such as personality, breed tendencies, health conditio...

When people think about healing, they often think about recovery from an illness or injury. While physical healing is important, animals experience healing on many different levels. Through intuitive communication, I have found that animals often have their own understanding of what healing means and what they need during difficult times. Animals live very much in the present moment. They are usually less concerned about the future than humans are. When they are unwell, their focus is often on how they feel right now rather than worrying about what may happen next. This can sometimes help them adapt to health challenges in a way that humans find difficult to understand. Healing is not always the same as curing. An animal may continue to live with a chronic condition and still feel peaceful, comfortable, and emotionally balanced. In these cases, healing may involve reducing stress, increasing comfort, strengthening relationships, or helping the animal feel safe and supported. Many anima...
