What is the first step in relearning to communicate with animals?
The key is being able to listen well, which means becoming sensitive to our intuitive abilities. To allow ourselves to really feel what the animal feels. Willingness to listen and realise that you can learn a great deal from animals, to discard condescending attitudes that animals are lower, or less intelligent beings is a major factor in opening up receptivity. This kind of attitude blocks true communication with animals, just as it does with humans. Regard animals with respect, openness and as potential teachers, and this alone will help open the communication lines and your outlook in general. Telepathic and intuitive communication is like a muscle that just needs exercise, and some of us need more exercise than others. It is up to you how much patience and determination you have and how much practice you are prepared to do as to how well this skill develops. You can begin by reading books, and attending workshops is a must.
