Blaze and Rusty - A Personal Experience
My daughter Sarah had always wanted a horse, and I’d promised her one since she was 3 years old. She is now 14. The time had finally come, so off we went seeking a suitable horse for a young novice. We were after an aged mare who was patient, tolerant and forgiving towards a learner rider … a trustworthy horse that had ‘been there and done that.’
We stood in the middle of a huge paddock full of horses of all ages, stages and breeds. We knew we were at the right place … we just had to pick the right horse. I reminded Sarah to use her intentions, love and intuition to draw ‘her’ horse towards her.
Out of the pack strode a most beautiful young, gangly colt … never really handled by humans and totally untrained.
The breeder told me that he was a shy and timid horse who didn’t like his face and ears being touched. Sarah was already walking towards the young horse as he slowly made his way towards her. When they met in the middle, the young colt pushed his face towards her, and Sarah raised her hand to his forehead to stroke his face and ears. He didn’t flinch. The match was made, come what may. Sarah named her young horse ‘Blaze’ due to his startling white blaze.
Because Blaze was so young and required a bit of human handling before being released to us, he was to spend the following months with the breeder and his paddock family. In the meantime Sarah and I would visit Blaze a couple of times per month so they could become accustomed to one another, and so that Robyn (the breeder) could work with Sarah and Blaze together, teaching them both basic techniques.
To make Blaze feel comfortable and to demonstrate her techniques, Robyn would bring in and work with another young colt … Blaze’s paddock make and best horsey-friend … a pure-bred Quarterhorse who we nicknamed ‘Rusty’ due his vibrant chestnut coat.
After our sessions Sarah and I would talk about the horses and I’d always comment that it would be lovely for Blaze to have his horsey-friend come with him once he left the familiar safety of his home and herd to come to our farm.
I’d thought about it a trillion times, but couldn’t seriously consider buying him … one young horse, plus Jessie the Shetland x Mini pony we already have, was quite enough. I wouldn’t have the time, talent, experience, patience or knowledge to work with such a young horse … or with any horse for that matter. I love horses, but I’m not interested in riding them.
Having studied and written a book about animal communication, I am aware of the psychic links and bonds between animals and humans. I’d always felt that Blaze’s paddock-mate wanted to come to our farm when the time came for Blaze to leave. I felt that he’d become just as fond of me as I’d become of him, and he certainly wouldn’t want to be separated from Blaze.
The week Blaze was due to be delivered to us, I received an urgent phone call from his breeder. She’d run out of water in her paddocks, and needed to disperse all of her horses to other properties as soon as possible.
Would I be willing to take on Rusty aswell?
I didn’t need asking twice!
But rather than just taking him on temporarily and handing him back once her water situation was fixed, I offered to buy him outright. I just knew I wouldn’t be able to give him up in the future, so the deal was done. Rusty arrived early the following Saturday morning side-by-side with his best buddy Blaze, and both have settled in nicely.
Although I hadn’t consciously ‘put out’ for Rusty, I had managed to draw him into my life through my heart-felt desire for him.
I have been studying animal communication for some time now and intend to practice psychically communicating with Rusty. He is very open and receptive, and as I’ve learned, horses are very talkative animals and have a lot to say.
Wish me luck …!

Animal Meditation - Psychic Communication
Meditation has two purposes. It centers our minds upon the spirit within and helps us to stay calm, loving and creative. It gives us access to the infinite Universal wisdom to enable us to receive whatever information or guidance you may seek. Meditation is linked to psychic abilities and with practice we are able to access our personal inner truths aswell as infinite information, knowledge and wisdom. Meditation is a quiet period in which you have a private session with spirit. Meditative guidance always comes as loving suggestions in response to your questions, problems and/or issues. There are many different ways to meditate, and you will intuitively know which method is right for you.
We are able to meditate with our horses and use this time, focus and energy to cleanse, protect and whitelight ourselves and them, whilst forging a psychic connection and bond with them. Being spiritual beings, horses are intuned with the higher realms, earth and Universal energies and their own finely tuned instincts and intuitions.
A simple way to meditate, whitelight and connect with your horse is to simply close your eyes and imagine yourself stepping into a giant sieve. Starting at your feet slowly pull the sieve upwards along your entire body. Draw it all the way over the top of your head. Imagine that this sieve collects all the negative energies, releasing all your stress and tension as you pull it along your body. Picture the energy that collects in your sieve, then empty it into a giant imaginary rubbish bin.
Repeat this process as many times as it takes until the sieving is relatively easy and you feel lighter in all ways.
Then imagine a big ball of pure white light above you. Draw the white light, down through your entire body, flowing along in a great river of the purest of pure white light, filling you up from your feet to the top of your head. Imagine this white light going into each and every cell of your body.
When every bit of you is all filled up with white light, the light bursts out of the top of your head and surrounds the space around you with white light. The white light is warm, safe and protecting. It also opens you up to psychic impressions and communication.
When you feel ready, begin to imagine sieving your horse in the same way.
Imagine a huge sieve appearing underneath him then pull it up and along his whole body – from his nose to his tail or from his feet to his ears, whatever feels most comfortable for you both. Imagine the sieve collecting all the negative stress and tension from his body, mind and spirit, then draw the bright white light into him through the top of his head. Fill him up with the river of white light from his hooves to the tips of his ears. When every cell of his body is filled with white light, it will burst out the top of his head and surround him with white light too.
Take some of the white light and make a connection from your third eye to your horse’s third eye with it, then use that connection to find the quiet place in his mind. Practice this over and over. You are then able to hear your horse in words or pictures or in ideas, thoughts or impressions. You can sit for hours connecting to your horse’s quiet mind until you can hear them, or you can connect to them for a number of short periods of time to achieve the same result. Different people do things differently and there are no rules. Just do what is most comfortable for you and your horse.
Remember though, to always be grateful. Be grateful for the connection your horse allowed you to experience with him as it is a very precious gift indeed.

Animal Speak
Some pet owners believe that if we talk to our animals they will reply telepathically and our minds can interpret their feelings as words. A number of successful pet/animal Healers around the world have used this method to diagnose how an animal is feeling or what is wrong with him/her, and found it especially useful for diagnosing stress-related illnesses.
One explanation for this ability to interpret animal thoughts as ‘words’ could be that the aura of the animal and the owner temporarily merge, so the two minds become as one.
Auras
People and animals seem to have unique and relatively constant patterns of energy that intermingle and interact with those of other people and animals. It may be that we are attracted to people and pets whose energy patterns are similar to our own, or in some way, compliment our own emotional vibes. Indeed, this unseen and intangible connection may partly explain why we are drawn to choose an animal that was not our originally planned choice, and why we can be attracted by the adoring eyes of a physically ‘unlovely’ creature.
A name often given to the energy field by those who work in spiritual healing is the ‘Aura’. Intuitive people may describe this aura in terms of bands of colour. These colours can be matched against traditional colour meanings collected from the spiritual and magical writings of different cultures and ages, and seem to be very accurate in describing the personality and mood of a person or animal around whom they are detected. The colours are sometimes seen in the mind’s eye, or to some people they appear as an external halo that is especially visible around the creature or person’s head.
Seeing An Aura
Every particle, atom and cell of all living things on this planet is surrounded by an energy field known as the ‘Aura’. The aura has a series of layers and ‘meridians’ which are channels which convey energy around the body.
The hardest part about seeing an aura is learning to trust your intuitive or psychic vision. One bonus is that even if you are not aware of seeing colours, the process does make you more able to anticipate pet moods. The exercise of looking for auras opens intuitive channels in a way that suits you best.
An animal’s aura usually extends from 6 to 10 centimetres around the body. This depends on the spirituality of the animal, not its size. As the animal’s body moves, the aura follows the line of the body. At times of excitement or intense protectiveness towards an owner the can expand much further and the colours may become momentarily brilliant. When an animal is totally in tune with the owner, the auras of pet and owner merge at the edges.
Create a time of stillness when you sit by your pet and share a communal quiet space in which communication through ‘aura merging’ can take place. Evenings when the house is quiet are perfect – but make sure there are no outside distractions. If you are working with a horse, twilight is a good time, when your horse is resting. In this case, make physical contact by touching the horse lightly as you work.
1. Face the animal.
2. Begin with a simple message of love spoken out loud, softly and repetitively, over and over for a minute or so.
3. Let the words get softer until they become a whisper and then fade off into silence.
4. Wait for about a minute and then repeat the message. Repeat this 3 or 4 times.
5. As you speak, visualize the animal’s aura moving closer so that similar colours from your aura and the animal’s flow in both directions and enclose you both in a swirling mist or haze. These are usually pink, green, purple and blue. If you find it hard to picture the colours, use a fibre-optic lamp to simulate the experience until your own psyche takes over.
6. After the third or fourth time you may feel a stirring in your mind as though light waves, or a ripple of leaves were moving between you and your pet, in bands of green and/or pink lights. At this point you will be communicating heart to heart and mind to mind.
7. Let the colours fade and separate – then repeat the experience a day or so later. Next time you may hear words in the silence - these would be the animal’s thoughts translated by your unconscious mind, into what is often a soft, low voice - or you may receive one or two distinct images straight from the animal’s mind.
8. You can use this method to ask your pet what is wrong, to send healing or to receive information about any aspect of the pet’s feelings and to share your own. If your pet has a message for you, he or she might sit silently and still, looking at you expectantly.
9. Take any warnings or advice seriously, because animal instincts are so much more evolved, psychically and in-tune with unseen influences than our own.
** As you become more practiced you will only need to look at your pet through half-closed eyes to see the aura colours merging.
