As an animal communicator, I sometimes get information about sore hips, tummy discomfort and more.

The animal’s human caretaker often tells me about any health issues going in, and I always want to make sure any potential medical reasons for behavioral changes have been addressed by a vet. Other times the animal himself will tell me, or show me through images or feelings, during a communication session.

The horse pictured, with whom I’d worked for a while, showed me some pain in his hips and along the left side. The next thing I knew he was backing up to the fence and asking me to place both hands on his hips. I did and began a Let Animals Lead® meditation to help him relax. After a while he began licking and chewing, then walked off to rejoin the herd.

I passed all of this along to his person and to the equine bodyworker who also worked regularly with him. After her session with him a day or two later, she sent me a diagram to show how she adjusted a misalignment on the left. The horse knew what he needed from each of us.

The codes of ethics I follow for both animal communication and Let Animals Lead® are clear about not dispensing medical advice or treatment. They’re also clear about showing up and doing what we CAN do.

On the other side of this sign is a bin full of toys. Stevie Wonder was not in the yard when I walked by, but I would happily have chucked a ball (even though I throw like a girl).

I am always touting the benefits of animal enrichment, not to mention community support, with clients. So this made my day. Kudos to Stevie Wonder for getting someone with thumbs to design and execute it!

Got an end in view … or several? The Let Animals Lead® stress relief modality I practice, which works through meditation, is not about “fixing” anything. There’s no stated goal.

Yet often animals will back up to me when their hindquarters are sore. A retired racehorse used to do this regularly (and quite regally). They know what they need. And sometimes, as in the photo, backs are turned. However animals choose to participate works for them, and that can be a game changer.

So even with no end in view, the right ends show up.

Relaxation helps the two-legged and four-legged alike feel and function better. That’s what Reiki, a Japanese stress relief modality, is all about. However, the method I practice, Let Animals Lead®, is different from what you’ll experience in human clinics and hospitals.

The hand positions I learned in my "people" Reiki classes don't apply, and not because of different anatomies. It’s because animals are much more sensitive to physical space and presence. Touch is unnecessary, even invasive, for them. A person can feel energy from the practitioner's hands, but a horse can feel energy from a person standing across a pasture.

When I began studying Reiki years ago, I used the hand positions with my dog Ellie. If she had a hot spot on her foot, I lightly held her foot or placed my hand near it. More often than not, she'd get up and leave. I now understand that was too much for her.

But when I sat quietly and meditated, and ditched any expectation about the "problem" or fixing it, Ellie was more likely to lie down nearby. (She was also more likely to quit licking that hot spot.)

My teacher, Kathleen Prasad, had a similar experience with her dog. That's how she developed the Let Animals Lead® method. The animal is free to get up and move around, fall asleep, or decline to participate. Some do settle near me or nudge my hands ... it's always up to them.

Animals understand energy better than we do. A horse senses the presence of a predator in the distance. A cat curls up next to someone who is sick. The kids' new puppy stays away from Mom because he's the only one in the house who knows how angry she is.

Just don't ask that puppy to stay still for the practitioner. He doesn't have to ... and Mom is welcome to join in.

I’m a stickler about permission, both from the animals I work with and their people.

An animal is free, at any time, to choose not to communicate with me or participate in a Let Animals Lead® meditation session. We can try again another time (sometimes a few minutes is all it takes) or I can issue a refund.

Regardless of who pays, I must have permission of the animal's owner for an animal communication or meditation session. By owner (or guardian) I mean the person who is legally responsible for the animal, whether that is an individual or an organization such as a shelter, rescue or nonprofit.

Having permission from the person who is legally responsible for the animal:

• Keeps everything above board, which naturally brings better outcomes.

• Respects boundaries. Put another way: Say you have a child, or an adult for whom you are legally responsible. Barring an emergency, you would not want someone to arrange a counseling session or alternative treatment for that person without your permission.

• Is in keeping with the codes of ethics I follow for animal communicators and Let Animals Lead® practitioners.

What if there's an animal you want to support with animal communication or Let Animals Lead® and they're not technically yours?

Talk with the animal's person or rescue director and share a link to my website; they are welcome to contact me with questions. You could offer an animal communication session as a gift to support the animal (and them). If the answer is yes, I am honored to help. If the answer is no, that is absolutely fine.

Maintaining trust lets us all speak, and most importantly listen, more freely.

As an animal communicator, I help animals of all species and their people solve problems and improve relationships. But the animals don't come to my office, sit on a sofa, and tell me what's bothering them. They can talk to me from their own homes — no Zoom, WiFi, or appointments needed. That's possible because communicating with animals uses that "sixth sense" all humans and animals have.

When I begin an animal communication session in my northeast Indiana office, I have the animal's name, species, age, gender, and usually a photo. The animal himself can be anywhere. I also have one or two questions or concerns the animal's person wants to address. But first I pray to listen effectively and relay with accuracy, fairness, and kindness whatever the animal needs her person to know.

Then I hold an image of the animal in my mind and gently tune into her energy. Once I get a sense of a head raised or ears at attention, I silently introduce myself and ask permission to communicate with her. I say her person has asked me to talk with her about (whatever the issue is) and help if we can.

Sometimes what the animal has to say will come in words, but more often I get images and emotions. I might get an image of the dog or cat edging away from an angry man inside a house. Or I might see a young girl grooming the horse and sense the horse feeling safe. I take notes in longhand.

I relay anything the person wants me to tell the animal and ask what the animal needs. Almost always, some action steps the person can take emerge. It could be a different location for the litter box or the need for more play time. It may be a visit with a particular person or another animal as her life is drawing to a close. In any case, I assure the animal that I will do my best to help, that his human loves and appreciates him very much, and that he is infinitely loved and cared for by God.

I thank the animal for communicating with me. Then I end the conversation pretty much the same way I'd end a phone call; I say goodbye and disconnect. Then I write up my findings and email them to the animal's person, always with encouragement to take what resonates and leave the rest.

If you have questions or would like to arrange a session for your animal friend, please feel free to contact me.

Animal communication and Let Animals Lead® animal Reiki are different animals, so to speak. As a practitioner of both, I will tell you the difference is essentially between conversation and meditation.

• Let Animals Lead® animal Reiki:

A Let Animals Lead® session is a time of meditation and relaxation. During an in-person session, which I offer in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area, a cat or dog might settle in my lap or across the room. A horse may stand on the other side of the pasture, hang out in a stall, or come to meet me at the fence. It’s up to them.

Distant sessions are much the same. However, the animal is generally at home relaxing with her person or herd while I’m in my home office. We don’t have to share space to share energy.

• Animal communication:

This is an exchange of information. I don’t need to be in the same physical space as the animal or on the phone with the animal’s person for this. I connect with the animal telepathically, focusing my attention on what he has to share. No appointment is necessary.

With the animal’s permission, I gain insights into behavior. Or I tell her about a change and ask what would help her adjust. Afterward, I email the person a summary. The client is encouraged to take what resonates and is helpful, and leave the rest.

When we let Let Animals Lead® animal Reiki and animal communication function on their own, our animal friends get the best each has to offer.

Healing energy is infinite. My lap is not, but the three cats worked it out. The tabby stayed put, the black cat sat on my shins and the calico decided it was more fun to sit on the counter and swat at everyone else. We all settled in for the meditation session ... just as it was, which is what the Let Animals Lead® method is about anyway. And what do you know? It was perfect.

Here's what I've learned in my animal communication and Let Animals Lead® meditation practice (and in my own home) about what’s enough to go around.

1. When someone sticks their neck out, pay attention.

If a horse comes to the fence or looks out of a stall, I try to go see him first. For example, a Tennessee Walker who kept catching my eye and pressing against the fence told me about some hip and back pain. I was able to pass that along to the equine chiropractor and help him with Let Animals Lead® in the meantime.

2. The animals might know who needs attention first.

Two mini horses (one of whom was disabled) were hanging with a mustang who'd been battling a persistent infection. When the three of them approached me, the two minis hung back. I thanked them, worked with their mustang buddy, and made sure to see those kind minis before I left that day.

A cow at an animal sanctuary had adopted two young calves. When I approached their stall and offered to share a healing meditation, the cow turned her head toward the calves. I assured her all of them were welcome to participate — but following her lead, turned toward the youngsters. As the session continued, mama cow joined us.

3. Don’t placate. Just toss the ball.

Dogs are famous for their "how could you?" looks if you pay attention to another dog or come home smelling like one. (Canine jealousy was even documented in a University of California study.) Yet imploring any being not to be jealous is likely to be ineffective.

Over time I learned that when I come home with the scent of other dogs on me, it’s best to let my dogs sniff without comment. Then I make sure they get a belly rub or a couple of toy tosses sooner (like now) rather than later.

When we build even a little more awareness and trust, "enough" can look like plenty.

Most people who contact me for an animal communication session are trying to solve a problem — a seemingly intractable behavior issue, adjustment to change, or painful end-of-life concerns. I'm sure many of them never thought they'd consult an animal communicator. Here are a few points to consider before hiring:

1. You're already on the right track.
Considering a discipline based on listening to the animal and his or her needs means you are willing to listen and learn. Even if you decide working with an animal communicator is not the right move at this time, you'll be closer to finding what will help. So stop, take a breath, and give yourself credit for this alone.

2. Trust your research AND your gut.
Referrals from people and businesses you trust are time-honored for a reason. You can also contact local metaphysical shops. Some, like Catalpa Tree Shops here in northeast Indiana, maintain directories of healing arts practitioners. Whether you get an animal communicator's name from a friend, directory, or random Google search, spend some time on his or her website and/or social media pages. Pay attention to how you feel as you read. Are you calmer, or more anxious? Clearer, or more confused? Does the person follow the Code of Ethics for Interspecies Telepathic Communicators, or any other code of ethics or guiding principles?

3. No one is 100 percent accurate.
I am human and can't do everything perfectly. With God's guidance and my own self-care, I can be present, clear, and helpful to the animal and his or her family. Any animal communicator claiming 100 percent accuracy is best avoided.

4. You'll learn something.
If you've chosen a communicator with whom you feel comfortable, chances are very good that you'll find a valuable takeaway. It could be information you can act on immediately, such as moving the litter box to a quieter place or telling your horse where you're going as you're loading. It could be insight into how your animal views her place in your household, or his feelings and needs as his life on earth is drawing to a close.

Animals (like our calico Dusty, pictured here) see our gifts and struggles in a way that even the humans closest to us cannot, so you may even learn something about yourself. Nothing is ever lost by listening.
