Thanks for picking up my book today. Before we delve into the subject of animal frequency, let me tell you a little about my connection with animals and why I wrote this book. I grew up on a farm in Southern Virginia surrounded by nature and animals. Like most farmers in the area, we had dogs, cats, hogs, cows, chickens, and horses. There were fish and bullfrogs in the ponds behind our house. Summer evenings were filled with chasing fireflies and listening to the whip-poor-will’s lonesome call. Summer nights brought the sounds of the bullfrogs, cicadas, crickets, and other creatures of the night, which often lulled me to sleep with their rhythmic resonance. Morning dawned with the song of the sparrows, meadowlarks, robins, and cardinals. During my childhood, I frequently encountered chinchillas, foxes, deer, snakes, snapping turtles, terrapins, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, dogs, cats, pigs, horses, cows, and many other wild and domesticated animals. As a child, it was all I knew. My father even nicknamed me Lizard because I would catch and release the lizards around the barn. Now, as an adult living in Florida, I still catch all the lizards that get in the house and put them back outside, my dad still calls me Lizard from time to time, and I still hold to my childhood memories because that is where my understanding and connection to what I call animal frequency and energy animals began.
I work with energy from a metaphysical and spiritual perspective. Through energy work, I help people understand their personal vibration, their own unique frequency, and how they can raise it to higher levels. I teach them to understand their intuitive nature and how to recognize their core spiritual essence so they can progress along their spiritual path and learn their chosen lessons in this lifetime. Quite often, at some point along their paths, people recognize the connection we all have with the animal kingdom. They feel drawn to know what animal they are most connected to in this lifetime. For some, the animal connection may begin in childhood, and for others it may occur later in life. In metaphysical circles, the animal that guides you is called a totem, a familiar, a power animal, a spirit animal, or an animal spirit guide, depending upon the person’s beliefs. Many books about connecting with animals approach it from a Native American or shaman’s point of view and practices. Because I work with energy, I approach the topic from the perspective of energy connections. I call the process animal frequency and the animals who appear to you are energy animals.
Animal frequency is the distinctive energy vibration that all individual animals possess. When combined with our own unique frequencies, we can communicate with and understand the reason for the animal’s presence in our lives. Animal frequency is important to every one of us because, as spiritual beings themselves, animals bring messages that will positively affect your life. In this book, it is my intention to teach you how to connect to a multitude of animals and how to understand these animals when they appear in your life. Connecting to individual animal frequencies enables you to intertwine your frequency with theirs, which leads to a deeper understanding of the specific animal and of your own true spiritual nature.
I wrote this book for two reasons. The first is to honor the animals that have honored me with their presence in my life. The second is so you can learn to connect to the animal kingdom and experience your own spiritual growth during the process. I have tried to make this book a super easy reference in the hopes that you’ll use it often. I’ve also tried to provide new information about the animals from an energy point of view that may not be found in other books because it came from the animals themselves, my own guides, and intuition. The guided imagery section gives you a possible scenario to help you imagine interacting with the animal. That’s what this book is about—understanding and connecting frequencies, the energy of spiritual beings—so that’s what we’ll do.
I hope the animals I’ve chosen for this book are helpful to you along your path. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’m honored to share their messages with you.
The Animal Kingdom
Did you know that more than two million animal species have been discovered by scientists, and there are probably even more that haven’t been discovered yet? We share Earth with animals, so it only makes sense that we will have interactions with them during our lives. Maybe you’ve heard that humans tend to be calmer and live longer when they have pets. The unconditional love of domesticated animals can bring great joy within us through their positive influence. When you connect with animals on a physical, emotional, or spiritual level, you can deepen the experience by also connecting with their frequency, which can enable soul growth within your core essence. You can do this with wild animals as well. While you might not be able to give a wild animal a hug like you would a dog or a cat, you will benefit from their unique frequencies and the messages they bring into your life.
The animal kingdom is classified as a “grouping of all living beings with more or less complex organs, with which they move about and feed themselves.” Within the animal kingdom the subgroup of insects and arachnids are described as a “highly diversified grouping of all animal invertebrates” that are “more numerous than all other animal or plant species.” Insects are included in Animal Frequency because they are considered animals by definition and are part of the animal kingdom.
Animal frequency is easy, rewarding, and allows you tremendous spiritual growth. Once you learn how to intuitively feel the animal’s frequency (their unique energy) and understand how to connect with them through pictures, thoughts, and words, you’ll be actively using the energy highway between the two of you. Some of the information you’ll receive from them will be feelings, sometimes you’ll hear words, or you’ll see pictures. Other times it will be a clear, concise knowing without explanation when you look into the animal’s eyes. But you don’t have to be in the presence of the animal to receive messages from it. Often the spirit of the animal will come to you in ways you least expect with messages intended to guide you or so you can help them.
In the history of the world, people have always had a connection with animals. They have been placed on pedestals and worshipped because it was thought their power could bring harmony and peace to mankind if humans communicated with and respected the animal. In our current time, we’re experiencing a change in the way we think about animals as a culture. We’re becoming more protective of them. At our core we’ve always known our connection to animals runs deep. Now we’re listening to the animals again, just as people did in times past.
Animals are pure, peaceful, and innocent. They don’t harbor resentment, drama, or any of the negative emotions humans sometimes experience. They act and react to the situations around them in order to survive. In the wild, they are predators or prey only because they must eat to live. There is balance in their world. By connecting to their frequency you can find balance in your world. They touch us at our core, where our primal instincts live. We can relate to being as wild and free as they are, since we often inhibit these feelings in our daily life.
Animal Frequency
Animal frequency is an animal’s energy vibrating within their spiritual being, which is contained within their physical body. With animals, the wisdom of the ages is held within them. They are peaceful and soulful, and they offer lessons that can bring us balance and allow spiritual growth. Animal frequency includes your own personal energy vibration because you too are an animal. The process of connecting human and animal energy during a session is what animal frequency is all about. Each person and animal has a unique energy within their spiritual being. When we incarnate on the earthly plane, this energy is contained within our physical bodies. Your personal frequency can go from low to high and is constantly in flux due to changes in your life. The frequency of animals tends to be more stable because they don’t deal with the drama or stress that we do. Our frequency is based on our spiritual selves, but it can be changed, raised, or lowered based on outside influences and our life experiences.
Universal frequency is the overall energy of the universe that is part of us all. As humans, we are connected to the frequency of the human race, but as individuals within the human species we each have our own individual frequency. It’s the same for animals. Cats, as a species, have a unique frequency, but the energy of a house cat is different from a mountain lion and two house cats will each have their own unique individual frequencies.
Frequency has layers if we look at it from a universal viewpoint. We can choose to connect our frequency to the frequency of a species of animals or to an individual animal. It is also beneficial to do both because you can learn different things.
Just like we all have intuitive abilities, we all have the ability to identify, attune, and connect with animals using animal frequency. When working with animal frequency, the first thing you have to do is let go of any preconceived notions that animals are inferior beings because they can’t speak like we do, or they don’t have feelings, aren’t smart, or it’s only an animal. Remember, you’re an animal too. Once you can see an animal as a spiritual being like yourself, then you’ll easily connect with it.
Is Animal Frequency
the Same as Animal Communication?
I’m often asked if animal frequency is the same thing as animal communication. It is comparable, but there are also vast differences. It is similar, when you’re first learning how to do it, because you begin the session by communicating with the animal using intuition, telepathy, thoughts, feelings, and accompanying sounds, which is how they communicate with one another. They’re incapable of voicing words, so you have to become part of their world. It’s different because you’re also working with energy at very high vibrational levels using all of your intuitive senses as both you and the animal are connected to the Divine. It’s being in a place of knowing without words, pictures, or sound; instead you’re surrounded by energy, light, and feelings. It’s a different sensation than just doing animal communication—it’s more powerful, intimate—and, while you’ll receive information from the animals, it happens almost instantaneously and with vivid intensity. It’s as if you’re sharing a stream of consciousness on a soul level and recognize one another as being part of universal creation. Animal frequency feels like you’re sharing pieces of your spiritual essence as your souls connect with one another, rather than just having a conversation. When using animal frequency, I go back and forth between the intense level of animal frequency and the normal levels of animal communication that I work with all of the time. As you practice animal frequency, you’ll be able to move from one to the other in an instant.
The Spiritual World
Within the spiritual world of universal frequency, there is ancient wisdom and timeless knowledge that we can access. At our core essence we are all spirit and are all part of this universal frequency. We are beings of energy and light who chose to live in the physical realm in order to learn lessons that will enable us to experience spiritual growth. Because we are made up of energy, our frequencies are able to connect to every aspect of the universe. Animals are also energy and part of universal frequency, just as we are, which allows us to consciously connect to their frequency.
Within the spiritual world you will find your spirit guides, animal spirit guides, departed loved ones, masters, ascended masters, angels, archangels, and God. Each one of these beings is important to your journey in the physical realm, and many of them have agreed, prior to your birth, to assist, protect, and inspire you along the way.
Before we are born into the earthly plane of existence, we make agreements with the people and the animals we will interact with and learn lessons from during our lifetimes. Just as we have spirit guides, angels, and masters to direct us along this path, we also have energy animals that act as our guides. We have some energy animals that are with us for a lifetime and others that come to us when they’re needed for a specific message. Some are with us from birth, guiding and directing us, while others come with specific messages when we need them the most and then disappear once the message has been received. Many times energy animals will bring messages from deceased loved ones from the spiritual realm.
Our physical bodies are created to hold our true spiritual self, which is energy, on the earthly plane. Since we are interconnected to all that is, which includes the animal kingdom, we are able to call upon our guides, angels, and masters when needed, so it only makes sense that we can call on animals, too. The animals have chosen to incarnate just as we have. You’ll interact with animals on the earthly plane in their physical incarnation and you will also interact with them as guides in their true energy form on the spiritual realm. Regardless of how they appear to you, it is their frequency and messages that are most important and that will assist you.
Purposefully reaching out to your energy animals and acknowledging them when they appear will enable you to become more spiritually enlightened. You will raise your own frequency through these positive connections. This can lead to a more peaceful and balanced feeling within you, which can enable you to heal, become stronger, and feel empowered on your life path.
Animal Totems or Spirit Animals?
What’s the Difference?
Depending on who you speak to regarding the significance of animal appearances, you’ll discover animals are called many different things. Some of these terms include (but are not limited to): totems, guardians, familiars, power animals, protectors, spirit animals, core animals, and spirit animal guides. All of these terms basically mean the same thing (except for one big difference) depending on the belief system they originated from, and it can get confusing at times. What’s the big difference? Most people believe that animal spirit guides choose you and you choose your animal totems.
To me they are all spirit guides, so my preference is to use the term energy animals because we’re connecting our energy with theirs. I have found that even though spirit animals choose you, and can be unpredictable in their appearances, you can still call upon them in times of need because of the special energy connection the two of you share. You can call on totems too, so for me it is easier and less confusing to call all of them energy animals. This also includes mythical beings, so don’t be surprised if you encounter a unicorn or a griffin on your journey.
You have many energy animals that only visit you when they have an important message to share. You have others that are with you for your entire lifetime and align their frequency with yours to strengthen and empower you. Some come to help you make tough decisions and then leave. Others test you so you learn, grow, and change to reflect your true spiritual essence. Energy animals will guide you, advise you, protect you, and impart their skills upon you. All you have to do is be aware of them, ask for their help, be attentive to their answers, and honor their assistance. You can call them to you by wearing jewelry featuring the animal, by keeping a picture of the animal close by so you can see it often, or by putting a picture of the animal as a screen saver on your computer. You can also think of the animal several times a day, do research on it, and connect to its frequency in order to obtain the most knowledge and aid from it. Energy animals can appear to you in their physical form, through the media, in the shape of a cloud, as a word, or in any other manner that will help you receive their message.
You can also reverse this so you intentionally align your frequency with energy animals as you seek out the connection to their qualities instead of waiting for them to connect to you. This will raise your own frequency to that of the animal because energy connections can be miraculous and cause change in the lower energy, bringing it up to the level of the higher energy. When you ask an energy animal for help, that animal will work for you to deliver what is needed for your greatest good so you are able to progress forward on your own spiritual journey in a positive light. Trust that the animal is working for your higher self.
Some energy animals will reveal themselves to you and present you with a situation where you will learn a life lesson. They just show you the lesson you need to learn by appearing in your life for a short time and then they vanish. You’ll wonder what their presence means because there is an intuitive awakening at a soul level associated with the appearance of these energy animals. Their individual characteristics will prove to be powerful to you on your path. They make you feel drawn to them so you notice them and don’t put their appearance up to just another bird flying by or rabbit in your yard. Their energy feels different, it’s arresting, and you’re unable to ignore their presence when they appear. They can project themselves into your thoughts so you’re thinking about them, wondering what it means when they’re around, until you go look it up in a book like this one to see what their presence in your life could mean. It’s at that point when you’ll probably have an Oh, wow! moment of clarity, realization, and understanding.
Not What You Expected?
Sometimes the animal that appears to you is not what you might have expected. While you may love tigers or feel a strong connection to the wolf but you’re constantly seeing salamanders, ants, or iguanas, then your energy animal messenger is the animal you keep seeing, not the one you like best. Don’t ignore animals because you’re certain they couldn’t possibly be your energy animal. Spirit can appear in all shapes and forms with important messages. Pay close attention to the smallest details.
Dream Animals
Have you ever had an animal appear to you in a dream? If so, then you probably experienced your energy animal trying to get a message to you. That is, as long as you didn’t eat pizza before bed and were having what I call pizza dreams that are nonsensical. It’s easier for your energy animals to connect with you on the dream level, especially if you’re ignoring all of their attempts to connect with you on the physical or spiritual planes. When your waking mind is at rest, the subconscious mind is available for visitation from your spirit guides, angels, and energy animals. When Spirit, regardless of the form, is trying to get a message to you and you’re not listening, they often attempt to visit your dreams where you’re more apt to give them your attention and listen to their messages. Since animals are strong communicators, if an energy animal is appearing to you regularly, then it’s important that you research and really pay attention to determine the message it’s trying to deliver because it most certainly has something important to say to you.
When you encounter energy animals in your dreams, it’s important to notice if they’re wild, domesticated, or mythical, what they’re doing, if they’re moving quickly or slowly, or if they are coming toward you or moving away from you (take note of the directions in which they’re moving). Can you see vivid colors in the dream or is it dull and monotone? Is the animal in its natural habitat or does it seem out of place? Is the animal healthy and vibrant or does it look sick? Most importantly, you should take note of your reactions and interactions with the animal because these often give clues to their message. Try to notice what you were doing (or thinking) when the animal first appeared in the dream. This is often an important key to the animal’s message even if it appears when you’re awake. Also consider if the animal was acting normally as it would in the physical realm or was it doing something that is abnormal for the physical animal, for instance, talking to you. If so, can you remember what it said? When animals talk to you in dreams, their message is usually very clear because they’ll just tell you what they want you to know. It’s your job to remember what they said.
Another technique to use when you encounter animals in your dream is to ask them questions. Why are you in my dream? Why are you acting the way you’re acting? What is your message for my life? You can ask them anything you want that will help you understand their message. Speaking with your energy animals in this manner is something you can also carry over into your waking life. Taking some quiet time conversing with the energy animals, while also connecting with their energy, can be very enlightening. Make a list of questions before you start, but don’t worry if you don’t get to them all. Sometimes the session will take on a life of its own and the questions may not pertain to the direction the flow of information takes.
If you’re having a hard time connecting to a specific animal’s frequency, then right before you’re about to fall asleep, ask the energy animal to come to you in your dreams. Sometimes purposefully trying to connect during dreams can be very beneficial if you’re having difficulties in the physical realm.
For me, I know when I’m connecting to an energy animal during dreams because the dream takes on a different quality. It comes alive with vivid colors and a sense of clarity. I feel a connection to the animal, as if it’s calling to me. It may be different for you, but you can usually find one central thing that happens or a certain feeling you get during the dream that will let you know that this is a connection to an energy animal. Pay close attention to all aspects of the dream and make an effort to communicate with your energy animal both during the dream and in your daily life. You can do this by physically visiting with the animal, through meditation, or simply thinking about the energy animal to uncover the message that it is trying to deliver to you. It will often come to you again during these times. You might also want to start a dream journal so you don’t forget things that happened during the dream. Keep it beside your bed and write in it as soon as you wake up before the dream memories start to slip away.
How to Use This Book
This book is intended to be a guide to help you learn to recognize and connect with the frequency of energy animals so you can more closely identify with them, which will make it easier to receive the depth of their messages. In these pages, I’m explaining how I connect to animals and am giving you guided imagery that will help you to accomplish the same goal for yourself. That being said, you have to trust in yourself and your own intuition when it comes to the actual frequency connection. I can tell you what works for me and I can guide you, but you should also learn from your own experiences during your frequency exercises by speaking directly to the energy animals, trusting in your own intuition, being present in the moment, and accepting of the messages you receive. Only by doing this will you truly grow on your own spiritual path. I’m here to guide you, to lead the way, to get you to the point where you feel secure in knowing you are indeed connecting to the frequency of the energy animal and bonding with them emotionally and spiritually.
I have included several different sections under each animal, so let’s briefly go over them before you get started.
Traits: These are characteristics of the animal that can help you understand why it may have appeared to you at this time in your life. By considering the animal’s traits you can see how they apply to your situation and take action as needed. In part 3, I’ve also included a short version of the mythology of the animal if it’s not well known.
Talents: These are the animal’s abilities, things that they do well. When the animal appears to you, it is a reminder that you share these abilities and positive traits.
Challenges: These are the animal’s qualities that can be challenging to it and to you when the animal is encountered.
Element(s): These are the elements of nature that represent the animal. In the elements chart in appendix B, the characteristics of each element are stated. These qualities hold true for the animals connected with the element(s).
Primary Color(s): These are the colors that represent the animal. Look at the color chart in appendix A to see the qualities that this color bestows on the animal. Some animals have various colors or are multicolored. Consider the color(s) of the animal you interacted with when analyzing the message.
Appearances: This section contains the reasons why the animal might appear and some of the things you should consider or do after receiving its message. In this section it is also very important that you listen to your own intuition and trust your own impressions when you encounter the animal. I’m guiding you but the animal is there with you for a reason and has specific messages that only you will understand at a soul level and how you should act on it. Don’t be afraid to trust in the rightness of your own intuition.
Assists When: This section offers explanations as to how the animal can help you.
Frequency: This is a description of how I interpreted the animal’s energy and what it felt like to me as I connected to it while writing this book. By sharing this with you, I hope it will help you connect with the animal, too. Your experience may be different from mine, but this gives you a reference point.
Imagine … : In this section, I give you a brief guided imagery that will help you connect your frequency to that of your energy animal. This is a prompt to get you started, so if your intuition takes over and goes in a different direction from what I’m saying, go with it and let your imagination run free. You’ll be shown the animal’s message as you’re supposed to see it. A lot of this section (but not all) is set outside because that’s where the animals live. If you’ve been staying inside try to spend some time outdoors. It will make connecting easier.
The layout of this book is set up as a reference tool. You don’t have to read it from beginning to end (but you’re welcome to if you’d like); instead you can quickly flip through the book to find the animal and read about it. This will help you connect to its frequency and understand the message it’s trying to deliver when it appears to you or when you decide to seek it out. You can use this book to look up animals you’ve always felt drawn to, that you’re afraid of, or that you are curious about, to see what messages they offer.
You can also use this book as a bibliomancy tool. For example, if you need assistance making a decision, ask that you are shown the energy animal that will be most beneficial to you in your specific situation. Then open the book at random. The animal that is featured on that page is the animal that will be relevant to your current situation. The message from that animal will be helpful to you as you make the decision for which you sought help. If you need a more in-depth answer, you can also use the book to do a mini reading. You’ll open the book three times at random. The first time will show the past of the situation, the second the present of the situation, and the third the future outcome of the situation.
Do you need to find animals to help you but you don’t know where to begin? You can use this book for that as well. Before beginning, ask that you are shown the three to five animals that are most important for your spiritual growth and enlightenment at this time in your life. Then move your thumb across the outside pages of the book (opposite of the spine) until you feel like you’re supposed to stop. Open the book to that page and the energy animal that appears is one that will help you. Repeat this until you feel you’ve found all of the energy animals that are supposed to be assisting you at this time in your life. Then focus on getting to know them and connecting to their frequency.
Once you know how to get started, you can discover for yourself the sheer joy that the power of energy animals can bring into your life. They can guide you, heal you, bring you messages, teach you, and enable you to open your mind and soul to the universal energy that is within them and make it your own. You can ask them for help and guidance at any time that you’re ready to receive their assistance. It may seem difficult at first, especially if you’ve never had a lot of contact with animals, but I assure you that if you try, you too will be able to benefit from the vast positivity of the animal kingdom and energy animals.
Part 1 contains mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. There are many different species and all are wild and untamed. Part 2 describes domesticated animals, but that doesn’t just mean the animal is a pet. It also contains farm animals and animals that were once wild but humans have tamed and who now depend on humans for their care. Part 3 includes mythical and fantasy animals. I’ve included some of the mythology if the animal isn’t well known. In a number of cases, the mythology is very complex and there isn’t enough room in this book for all of the details. If you’re intrigued, please research further to learn the complete mythology.
Using Frequency Connections
to Receive Energy Animal Messages
Before we get into connecting your frequency with animal frequency, it’s important to know that you are surrounded by energy, you are energy, and this also applies to animals. Everything in nature has a high vibration. Animals’ vibrations are high because they don’t worry about their existence or fret over silly things like we do. They live in the moment. Animals can worry when they think they’re in danger, but that’s not the same as obsessing over the date you’re about to go on or your financial situation. Animals are happy to just be themselves with no worries bogging them down. They eat when they are hungry and rest when they’re tired. There are no schedules to keep. They are accepting of whatever life throws their way and don’t worry over things they can’t change because they aren’t judgmental.
You might have heard the expression dumb animal. Just because animals don’t speak words like you and I do, doesn’t mean that they don’t communicate with one another or have feelings. In order to understand animal frequency, you also have to understand how animals think and how they can communicate with you. I’ll explain this through the following example but communication applies to all animal species.
We own and breed Barock Pintos (pronounced Baroque) and Friesian horses. Each one of our horses is a unique individual with specific traits and personalities. Most of them are young, which puts the responsibility on me to make sure that they grow up to be well-adjusted adults. If you’re in my barn, you’ll hear the horses communicating with each other. They’ll softly nicker, snort, or whinny in various levels of loudness in order to talk to one another. They also use body language to let each other (and me) know how they’re feeling. This isn’t the same as animal communication or animal frequency, but it is behavior that clues you in to their moods. You can tell if a horse is listening to you or is confused, irritated, or upset just by watching its ears and eyes. Mares with foals will give warnings to other horses to stay away from their babies, and it can be anything between a mean glare to an all out attack, depending on the reactions of the horse they’re warning and the mood of Mama Mare. When I walk into the barn, they’ll all whinny in greeting and it’s usually very loud, which is an amazing thing to experience and always brings a smile to my face. I answer back by greeting each one in turn and rubbing their noses before starting my chores. When I work with horses, whether it’s training them or handling them, I am constantly using both standard animal communication and animal frequency to connect with them. I’ll create pictures of what I want them to do in my mind and send those pictures to them via the energy pathway between me and the horse I’m working with. Sending images while talking to the animal always makes my job easier because it’s easier for them to understand what I’m asking of them. Quite often I’ll receive images back from them in return. If you use this same technique when connecting to your energy animal, you’ll find that the task is much easier to do and the connection can be made quicker than if you didn’t send the pictures.
Feel the Animal’s Frequency
Connecting to energy animals through animal frequency requires that you feel the animal’s spirit and become one with its frequency. You will do this consciously, but there will be times when it’s an unconscious act. At the soul level we all speak the same language, animals included. When working with animal frequency, it is important that you make a soul connection with the energy animal. You do this using telepathy and your energy to connect soul-to-soul.
Telepathy is a natural part of intuition used by all species to send and receive images, emotions, and thoughts over distances. You approach the process through feelings of compassion and love to reach out to the animal. Feeling empathy with the animal not only draws them to you but also allows you to feel their feelings, thoughts, and, most importantly, who they are. There’s not one horse in my barn that is like another one. They’re all different and these differences are what make them unique, just as you and I are unique. When you connect with animal frequency, then you are in tune with their needs and are showing them love and respect for their sacred gift, and it is truly a gift from the animal to be able to share their frequency. It is important that we honor them for this gift.
Understanding your own frequency and intuition go hand in hand when you’re working with animal frequency. When you are in touch with your intuitive self, it’s easier to be in touch with the animal world. With the telepathic communication between animals and intuitives, animals can warn us when we’re going off of our spiritual path, remind us to be aware in certain circumstances, and give positive messages when we’re moving along the right path.
It’s important to trust in your intuition and gut feelings when you’re working with animal frequency. You will not be working with your thinking mind but instead with your emotional and spiritual self. You’ll use empathy, telepathy, and intuition to spiritually connect to the frequency of your energy animal. It’s a feeling, not a logical thinking process. It’s easy to do, so don’t make this harder than it has to be by doubting your ability to connect your frequency to the frequency of animals. Doubt blocks you and should be set aside during animal frequency exercises. Just believe in yourself and trust that what you hear or see is indeed a message from your energy animal and you’ll be successful.
Start by setting a positive intention and then focusing on the energy animal that you’ve selected. Open your mind to seeing pictures the animal may send to you or words you may hear or suddenly know. In order to really connect your frequency with that of the animal, you have to be very in the moment and in tune with the energy animal. That means if a sand crane walks up to you or a bluebird lands beside you (even if you set out to connect with butterflies) you should take the time to commune with that animal and try to connect your frequencies instead of immediately running off to look up what it means or keep searching for the butterfly. There will be time for comparison later, after the animal encounter has unfolded. It’s more important to receive their messages in the moment than to go look up what someone else thinks the message is. While books like this one can guide you, nothing takes the place of listening to your own intuition and feelings during an energy animal experience. Energy animals can mean different things to different people based on each person’s unique circumstances, beliefs, and where they are on their spiritual path.
The other part of an energy animal encounter is to be aware of what you were doing or thinking when the animal appeared to you. Were you worrying over a situation with a coworker or a family member? Or maybe you were feeling unsure of your path. When you’re aligning frequencies, both the message of the animal and the reason for its appearance are important for helping you understand the message. Also consider what the animal was doing when you noticed it. Was it flying, walking, or staring at you?
When you’re connected with your energy animal, you will feel many different things during the transfer of frequencies. You might feel a sense of peace or a calmness come over you, or you may hear a sizzle or static in the connection. Make sure you’re aware of how the transfer of energy feels and also how it sounds. Did you feel like you were just zapped in the head when you paid attention to the energy animal and now you suddenly know something that you didn’t know before? It can happen like that, or it can feel like a gentle breeze floating over you. Remain aware because all of these little things are part of the overall message.
Once you’ve learned how to connect your individual frequency with an animal’s frequency, you’ll notice that all animals are more aware of you. They can feel your love, your higher vibration, and that you are aware of them on a soul level. In my case, animals are very drawn to me, even when I’m not consciously doing anything to connect to them. If I go to a pet store, I usually end up petting dogs that never go to anyone but pulled their owner over to me. I’ve had lost dogs follow me home, and I’ve found their owner for them. The fact that animals are drawn to me doesn’t go unnoticed by other people and is commented on quite a bit. I’m honored that animals put their trust in me. It is this way for many, many people in the world who also recognize animals as kindred spirits. If you’re not already, you can be one of us if you open your heart and intuition to the animal kingdom.
Is Your Pet Your Energy Animal?
There are several schools of thought regarding animal totems and pets. Some believe animal totems can only be a wild animal. Others believe domesticated animals, including pets, aren’t actually capable of being a totem because they have lost their true wild essence, which in turn lessens the connection to spirit when they became domesticated. I disagree with these schools of thought because I have experienced powerful energy from pets, past-life memories, and spiritual connections that were just as powerful as my experiences with wild animals. Granted, not every domesticated animal will connect with you on a spiritual level, nor will every wild animal, but when they do the energy is extremely powerful and the experience extraordinary. This is another reason I use the phrase energy animals. All animals are made of energy, whether domesticated or wild, and we connect with them through energy pathways.
Connecting with Your Pets
I also believe our pets can come back to us after they pass in order to continue to guide us within the physical realm or, if they choose not to reincarnate, they guide us from the spiritual realm. I’ve had it happen both ways. You will know when your pet is with you as a guide or an energy animal because you will feel a deeper connection to it and will sense it has a greater purpose in your life other than just being your pet. You’ll be able to easily communicate telepathically and empathically with this animal. You may feel this animal loves you more than any other animal has ever loved you before. These pets don’t come along often, but when they do you’ll experience a deep knowing that this pet is connected with you on a spiritual level. They help you heal, inspire and uplift you, and make you want to be a better person. Their absolute acceptance and love for you will keep you grounded and let you know there is no greater spiritual truth than pure and unconditional love.
Start with an Animal Communication Session
To get started with an animal frequency session, you’re going to begin with regular animal communication, which is the sharing of thoughts, emotions, and images between you and the animal. Animal communication is not reading body language or behavior. While that is very helpful in training animals, it’s not what you’re trying to achieve in animal communication. Think of it as learning another language. You’re learning how to communicate like the animals since they can’t form words like you do. The more you practice the better you’ll get at it. Keep a journal so you don’t forget your experiences or the animal’s message.
You’re going to use your own intuition and telepathy to send and receive thoughts, feelings, words, sounds, sensations, ideas, sudden knowing, and pictures to the animal. You’ll know what you’re receiving from the animal is accurate because your own clairvoyance will be absolutely sure that it is the truth. You don’t have to be in the same room with the animal, you don’t need a picture of it; you just need to sense its energy to connect with it.
Amp It Up with Animal Frequency
Next, you’re going to amp the animal communication into the stratosphere of universal consciousness using animal frequency. Here’s a hands-on exercise to get you started:
For this exercise you and your pet should be in the same physical space. Sit, stand, or do whatever feels comfortable to you. If you have a horse, you might want to lean against the stall wall; if you have a dog, you might want it in your lap while you’re sitting in the recliner; if it’s a big dog, it might be on the floor beside you. Do what feels the most comfortable for you. Let the animal wander if they’d like. Some will stay right with you, looking at you the entire time, others will move around. Some people like to touch the animal during the session and others prefer to remain a short distance away. Now, you’re going to clear your mind of all extraneous thoughts. Forget your to-do list, forget about dinner, and let your mind focus solely on the animal you want to connect with. In the beginning you might find it easier to clear your mind if you take some slow deep breaths, but after you’ve been doing this awhile you’ll be able to clear it in an instant. Now you can begin sending images, thoughts, and emotions to the animal. Ask questions or tell them something about yourself or how you feel about them. Make sure you’re receptive to the images, thoughts, and emotions they send back as answers to your questions or responses to your comments. It’s important to trust your intuition and not question the information you’re receiving.
That is a basic exercise of how to do an animal communication session. Now let’s take it further and amp it up with animal frequency. As you’re exchanging information with the animal, feel your energy—your personal vibration, your frequency—building over your heart until it’s swirling with positive intention. Slowly send your energy to the animal. Imagine it as colorful ribbons of pulsating energy leaving your heart and flowing toward the animal. Don’t let it touch the animal but instead invite the animal to share its frequency with you. Soon you’ll feel the animal’s energy start to build, and then you’ll feel it reaching out to you, until your energy and the energy of the animal touches. Now there is an explosion of information moving freely between the two of you. It’s an unexplainable, intuitive knowing flowing on intense positive waves of energy as your frequencies merge together. You see what the animal has been through, feel what it feels, and it does the same with you through flashes of images, feelings, hopes, and dreams, and, most importantly, all of this is done willingly with feelings of love and trust. It’s an intimate, personal, and soulful experience. When the session is almost over, thank the animal for sharing itself with you and pull your frequency back inside you.
Once you’re accustomed to using animal frequency, you’ll find that it becomes second nature and you can bypass the beginning animal communication part and skip right to the animal frequency connection.
Color and Elemental Meanings
Both color and elemental meanings are important considerations in animal frequency because they can give you additional information about the encounter with your energy animal. In the back of this book there is more in-depth information, including charts that define the meanings of many colors (appendix A) and the elements (appendix B).
This book is a tool—a reference manual you can refer back to as needed. Use what feels right to you and make it your own. If it doesn’t seem to fit your exact circumstance, then take what fits and discard the rest. You own the ability to connect with animal frequency through your own unique frequency. It’s all in your hands. Enjoy the journey.
