How to Open Your Mind to Talk With Animals

You will never look at an animal in the same way again after you read this gem of a book. Here is one excerpt that may open your eyes as it did mine.
Here is one fascinating conversation a woman named Chrys Long-Ago had with a squirrel.
"When I walked out to the barn, a movement caught my eye. It was a lovely gray tree squirrel who ran up onto a fifty-five-gallon barrel and sat down not far from me with a nut in his paw. I was in a relaxed state of mind, and I turned my attention to the squirrel and spontaneously greeted him in my mind. I don't know why I did that, because it wasn't a habit at the time. I said, 'Greetings, little squirrel.' He put his nut down and turned his head. He looked straight at me and then turned his body toward me in an open-body posture. This was a wild squirrel! We had direct mind-to-mind contact for at least twenty minutes. I heard everything he was saying.
"I asked him things like how is it to be a squirrel and how old are you and how do you like living at the house barn. The words came into my mind very quickly. He called the horses "grass-eaters." He said, 'We call them grass-eaters, grasseaters,' in an almost sneering kind of way. He said that squirrels considered themselves creatures of the air more than of the ground, that they love to live in the swinging boughs of the trees and leap fro branch to branch.
"He told me how they would venture down the tree head first, consciously looking everywhere, because all of their predators are on the ground, except for owls. He also told me how territorial they were, which I didn't know about squirrels. I later researched it and found out they are very territorial."
Chyrs Long-Ago had worked hard to make sense of how this thing called animal communication fit from our end. She was intrigued with how the human mind could "translate" thoughts and ideas, even complete sentences, from a variety of species so different from our own.
Carol Gurney, a communicator from California, believes that a first step to opening to telepathy is realizing it's something we do all the time. "When you are in touch with your feelings, telepathy happens very quickly. �?When a friend tells you she is fine, but your gut says something's not right, how do you know that? It's telepathy!"
Carol feels that people talk with their animals all the time, though they don't necessarily recognize it. "The thought of the animal blends with your consciousness," she told me. "It has to become your own inner thought for that flash of a moment in order to get it. What happens is that we judge it as ours. We don't know how to tell the difference sometimes. We're not giving ourselves credit that we're getting it, nor are we giving the animals credit that they do communicate."
