I have met and spoken with many animal communicators so I want to dispel the myth right now that they are "eccentric" people. They do not run around cloaked in satin starred robes with cone shaped wizard hats. As a matter of fact I would challenge you to identify one out of a photo line up. Additionally, blossom's comparison to "Miss Cleo" is not even worth considering. There is a big difference in communicators and psychics although the terminology is frequently used to describe animal communicators. Animal communicators do not know if Fifi will ever find love, they can not foresee the future. That is what a psychic does. A communicator however does just what the title implies, they communicate. The communication takes place telepathically. As I've said before, it is possible for anyone to communicate with animals. Some people are more atuned to it however than others. It involves using a different part of your brain and a very strong connection to animals...as our equals... not our underlings. I have not met or corresponded with an animal communicator yet that is in the communications business for no reason but financial gain...and that includes myself. There is nothing mystical or magical about it. Most communicators accept the ability to be as natural as holding a verbal conversation. I, myself am just beginning to accept it as a natural ability. I was very weirded out at first but as I read, as I educated myself on animal behavior and emotions and held more and more readings, it has become more of a normal every day thing. Susan Chernak McElroy has written at least 3 books. I highly recommend them to anyone who has ever loved an animal. Read them blossom, then come back here and share your thoughts.
