Communication by Akshaya

Every rescued animal carries a story. Sometimes we know it—the neglect, the abandonment, the struggle to survive. More often, we don’t. All we see are the aftereffects: fear in their eyes, hesitation to trust, or restlessness that doesn’t ease, no matter how much love we give. This is the story of Luna (name changed)—a rescued dog who was adopted into a loving family. They gave her food, shelter, and safety. But something was still missing, and that’s when they reached out to me. --- The Rescue and Adoption Luna had been found on the streets, thin and wary. A rescue group cared for her until a kind family adopted her. She now had a home filled with love, children to play with, and people who wanted nothing more than to see her happy. Yet, despite the family’s warmth, Luna remained distant. She would hide when guests arrived, bark anxiously at night, and sometimes refuse to eat. The family could sense her heart was still carrying old fears. They were working with a behaviour therapist t...

Intuitive animal communication can feel mysterious, almost magical. The idea that we can tune into our animals’ thoughts, emotions, and needs without words sounds like something reserved for special people. But in truth, it’s a skill we all have—and it grows stronger the more we practice. The tricky part? Our lives are full and fast-paced. We mean to slow down and connect, but the day often slips by before we’ve taken a mindful moment. That’s where habit stacking comes in. What Is Habit Stacking? Habit stacking is a practice popularized by James Clear in Atomic Habits. Instead of creating completely new routines, we anchor a new habit to something we already do consistently. For example: After we brush our teeth, we might floss. After we pour our morning coffee, we might write in a journal. By piggybacking a new action onto an existing one, the new habit becomes part of our rhythm without much effort. AI Generated Image  Bringing Habit Stacking Into Animal Communication Intuitive c...

"All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves.” — Eli Siegel  When we enter into the world of animal communication, we step into a space where opposites exist together in harmony. It is a realm that is at once humbling and empowering—a paradox that teaches us not only about animals but also about ourselves. The Humbling Presence of Animals To sit with an animal and truly listen is to be reminded of the vastness of wisdom that exists outside of human knowledge. Animals carry a kind of knowing that is not measured in books, degrees, or titles. Their wisdom is lived—it flows through their instincts, their attunement to nature, and their capacity to exist fully in the present moment. A dog may teach us about loyalty without ever speaking a word. A cat may show us the beauty of independence while still choosing connection. Horses, often mirrors for our emotions, can reveal truths about us that we are reluctant to face....

When we think of rituals, our minds often go to humans—lighting candles, chanting prayers, or gathering for special ceremonies. But rituals are not unique to us. Animals, too, display ritual-like behaviors that go beyond simple survival. These behaviors often express connection, reverence, joy, or grief. Rituals in animals remind us that spirituality is not just a human experience—it flows through the animal world in subtle, powerful ways. --- 🌿 What Do We Mean by Ritual in Animals? Ritual behavior refers to actions that appear symbolic or meaningful rather than just practical. These can be repeated gestures, shared group actions, or moments where animals seem to pause, gather, and acknowledge something bigger than themselves. Some rituals mark life and death, while others express joy, bonding, and awe. Both are windows into the spiritual lives of animals.

Intuitive animal communication is about opening ourselves to the unspoken ways our animal companions share their world with us. They send us sensations, thoughts, emotions, and even a deeper sense of knowing. One approach that helps us understand these different layers of communication is the body, mind, and spirit framework. This framework is not new—it has roots in many ancient traditions and healing practices. For centuries, people across cultures have described life as made up of the physical body, the thinking mind, and the guiding spirit. In modern times, this view has become common in holistic wellness, energy work, and animal communication practices. When applied to intuitive communication, this framework gives us a clear way to notice and organize what we receive from our companions. It reminds us that animals express themselves on many levels at once: through their body sensations, their thoughts and emotions, and the deeper wisdom of their spirit. This makes the practice fee...

“Recognizing privilege is not about guilt. It’s about opening the door to empathy.” — Unknown Intuitive animal communication is often described as something natural — an ability anyone can nurture with presence, patience, and practice. And while this is true, it is just as important to acknowledge that not everyone begins on equal ground. Just like fitness, education, or career growth, certain privileges, environments, and inner conditions make the path smoother for some while creating obstacles for others. AI GENERATED IMAGE   The Many Hidden Limitations When we think about why someone might struggle with intuitive communication, we often imagine disbelief or lack of training. But the barriers are often deeper, subtle, and more personal: Home environment: Growing up in a place where animals weren’t welcomed, or worse, treated poorly, conditions us to see them as “less than.” Overcoming this lens and seeing animals as conscious beings requires immense unlearning.
