Communication by Akshaya

We spend a lot of time surrounded by nature without necessarily experiencing it. We walk past trees, sit in gardens, drive through landscapes, hear birds calling and feel the wind on our skin, but our attention is often somewhere else. We are thinking about what we have to do next, checking our phones, having conversations or simply moving from one place to another. Nature communication begins with something much simpler: slowing down enough to notice. When we approach nature with the intention of communicating, there can be a temptation to immediately look for a message. We may sit beside a tree and ask, What are you trying to tell me? Then we wait for a thought, an image or a feeling and wonder whether we have received something. But perhaps the first step is not asking for anything at all. The first step can simply be being there. Choose a tree, plant, patch of grass, rock, body of water or any part of the natural environment that catches your attention. Sit or stand comfortably nea...

When we see an animal in distress, our first instinct is often to help. We want to make things better. We want to take the animal somewhere safe, find them a home, get them treatment, protect them from whatever has hurt them and give them the life we believe they deserve. That instinct comes from care, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to help. In fact, so much of rescue work begins with someone being unable to walk away. But sometimes, in our desire to save an animal, we can become so focused on what we think the animal needs that we forget to ask a different question: what does this particular animal actually need? Those two things aren't always the same. We may think an animal needs a new home, when what they need most immediately is time and stability. We may think they need constant affection, when they actually need space. We may believe they need to be introduced to other animals so they can have companionship, when they may be more comfortable with distance. We may th...

When we first begin communicating intuitively with animals, one of the most noticeable things is how uncertain everything can feel. A thought appears and we wonder, Did I actually receive that, or did I make it up? We get an image and immediately start analysing it. We feel an emotion and wonder whether it belongs to us. We receive something that doesn't seem to make sense and hesitate to trust it. This is a very normal part of learning intuitive animal communication. With experience, however, something begins to change. It isn't necessarily that the communication becomes louder, clearer, or more dramatic. In many cases, it becomes much quieter. What changes is our relationship with what we receive. When we're new to intuitive communication, we often have an idea of what communication is supposed to feel like. We may expect a clear sentence, a strong image, a distinct voice, or something that feels unmistakably different from our own thoughts. So when something subtle comes...

Have you ever suddenly thought about an animal you haven't seen or spoken to in a long time, only to hear from their human soon after? It happens to me quite often. In fact, I experience this at least once or twice a week. I will suddenly think about an animal I have communicated with in the past and wonder how they are doing. Sometimes, within a short time, their human will reach out to me asking for another communication. It has happened so many times that I have become quite familiar with the experience. But every now and then, something happens that makes me stop and think about it a little more deeply. A recent example was a kitten I had communicated with back in 2018. She had been absolutely adorable. She had a very witty and funny personality, and I remember really enjoying my conversation with her. Eight years passed. Then, a few days ago (in 2026), I was thinking about her completely out of the blue. There was no particular reason for it. I hadn't been speaking to her ...

When we think about intuitive animal communication, we usually imagine talking to an animal about themselves. We may ask how they are feeling, whether they are comfortable, what they need, what they like, or whether there is anything they want their human to know. But sometimes, an animal will bring another animal into the conversation. It could be another animal living in the same home, a sibling, a friend, an animal they know from outside, or even an animal who has passed away. And sometimes, we may not have asked about that animal at all. I have experienced this myself. I was travelling and speaking intuitively with one of my dogs when she suddenly mentioned that my senior dog wasn't feeling too well. This wasn't something I had asked her about. She simply brought it up. Naturally, I wanted to know more, so I spoke to my senior dog and asked her how she was feeling. She told me that she was a little low on energy, so there was some truth to what the other dog had shared. But...

One of the things we sometimes forget when communicating intuitively with animals is that they are allowed to change their minds. We often expect animals to give us clear and definite answers. If we ask them whether they want something, we expect the answer to remain the same. If they tell us that they like something, we assume they will always like it. And if they tell us that they don't want something, we may assume that the answer is permanent. But animals are not machines giving us fixed answers. They are living beings with their own feelings, experiences, preferences and choices. And just like us, they can change their minds. But what if they told me something different before? This is something that can sometimes be confusing for people who practise intuitive animal communication. You may communicate with an animal today and receive one answer. A few weeks or months later, you communicate again and receive something completely different. The first reaction can be, “But that...
