I have had communication experiences with all of my animals, as well as baby birds I rescued for release. But I haven't been good about practicing it every day. When they got to Spirit, I knew almost immediately that they needed to change his name, that even the name they called him by bothered him.

Leaves me with tears...

her without crying. I googled, and am pursuing every bit of information I can find that involves her teaching and practice.

I've encountered the name issue too. When I took an energy class for my massage license requirement, I went to a private home. After the class, the instructor asked me to evaluate her cat. (You may know this story.) Patches was a calico who had been found on a roadside after being hit. He needed a lot of patching. He still had one front paw he couldn't walk flat on. It bent under. The cat had been taken by the instructor's MIL, who was dying of cancer. After she passed, the cat came to instructor and her husband. I had never made an effort to communicate with animals, even though I knew my pets, and had that familiar intuition. Never considered it. After I visited with the cat, I told her I needed to give it some time. The next day I called her back and told her I think he needs his name changed. She was so excited because when they had found the cat, they named him Skittles, but the MIL wanted to rename him. So she was happy to change his name back.

It was so cool that Spirit knew he needed a new name. What an awesome cat he is. See, I'm crying again! Animals. We need them desperately.

- it's lovely well done

Thank you for sharing.

Touches a very poignant chord with me
