"We interact with animals
rather than act upon them." - I.C.


Chartered in 1978, Interspecies Communication (I.C.) helps set up projects between animals and human artists and musicians. They're best known for their 25-year program of playing underwater guitar to and with free-swimming whales and dolphins. Apparently, the marine mammals like reggae best. They respond to the underwater music by "singing" in the silences between notes. (This is not so hard to believe since wild dolphins have been discovered singing pieces of songs they heard from radios on boats!) I.C. grants artists the same access to wilderness usually reserved for field biologists.
 
       
  Talking with animals

Penelope Smith is a professional animal communicator who believes that everyone is born with the power to communicate with other species. Although this power is long lost for some, it can be regained for the benefit of all beings on earth. She explains that we can talk to animals not only with our voices and bodies but also with our minds through TELEPATHY. She defines telepathy as "feeling across a distance."

The FIRST thing you can do to start on the road to direct communication with animals, Penelope says, is to get rid of any condescending ideas that animals are lower, less evolved or less intelligent than human beings. Look at them with respect, openness and as potential teachers. Then, find a quiet place to sit near them. Let them know that you are listening, ready to hear whatever they may have to say.

You'll be amazed at what can happen when you accept the feeling, thought or impression you get when you are quietly attentive to an animal. It will probably be something very simple like, "I am happy and warm here in the sun." Now see if you can send a message back. Your conversations can evolve as you get to know each other better as equals. You may notice that the animal feels more relaxed with you. Penelope uses her skills to council animals with traumas and problems. As a result, she says, "upsets and problems resolve, negative behavior disappears, and injuries and illnesses heal speedily."

"I counseled a dog with a broken leg that would not heal. The vet said he would be lame for the rest of his life. When I arrived he was dragging the leg, and after a half-hour session together, he was running on it. He healed normally after that." - Penelope Smith
