Animals communicate with the world telepathically all the
time and are always open to and reading our thoughts. Generally they get their
information from the mental pictures we unconsciously create when we think
about or say something. So why don’t they do what we want?
It’s very simple really – we are often picturing what we
DON’T want. This is basic human nature; thinking, focusing on or talking about
we don’t want. It’s how we are wired, but to have fantastic communication with
your animals you need to talk, think and focus on what you DO want.
Let’s say that your cat has been clawing on the couch. When
you leave the house in the morning, you look at her and say “Don’t claw on the
couch while I’m gone”. What picture do you think appears in your head when you
say this? The cat clawing on the
couch! Your kitty, being the friend that she is thinks, “Cool, I know how to do
that!” Even if you could picture it, they wouldn’t understand the circle with
the line through it.
Then if you are mad at your cat for couch clawing she will
be even more confused. To switch this around, you need to talk to her as often
as possible about how much you like it when she claws on her post. “Remember to
claw on your post while I’m gone today.” “I just love it when you claw on your
post.” Eventually she’ll get the message that you really DO want to convey.
This is true for any behavior you’d like to change or
modify. Another tough one is “Don’t be afraid.” We say that a lot, so turn it
around to, “You can be calm and relaxed because you are safe.”
My rule is if you’re going to say DON’T – DON’T say it!
Always say exactly what you DO want and your animals will learn to trust your
mental images.
