Exposing yourself?

Guest · Exposing yourself?

Here's a question for you. I'd appreciate all answers.

I have the ability to communicate with animals. I know it's not unusual here. My friends & some family know this & some understand. Others, I'll never tell because they'd probably check the laws on committing someone to an institution in this state.

When I sell a horse, it is truly like selling a friend - someone I've usually had conversations with in a manner of speaking. I don't know how to describe it, really.

So, do you think it's "okay" to let new owners know that I do this? I kind of jokingly hint at it sometimes. Sometimes more straight-forward, if I feel safe. There are those that would think I'm completely off my rocker.

My question is this:

How do you choose who to open up to? (Besides the animals, that is. I've only met one mare in my whole life who was very opinionated & judgemental, but she ended up just being scared & had to learn to trust/believe humans aren't all bad.)

Thank you for your thoughts --

I tend to "read" the person, as to where their mindset is. It usually doesn't take long to tell that someone is an only Five Sense type. It those that I keep my mouth shut with.

I don't say much to most people until I have been around them a while. I like to see them around animals first. So far I haven't had any horsey kids to sell,but with my dogs and cats in the past I have literally let my animals tell me. I tend to judge most by how my kids act toward them. If they back off then so do I. I have even gone so far as to set prices that way a time or two. Sky high if I didn't want the person to have them. I am not sure how I will handle it on the horses. May do the same way with them. Goodness, I'm not sure I answered your question very well . Not an easy question to explain. My fingers and brain are slow today. hehe :smt024

Well, everyone thinks I am bonkers anyway so I probably do not have such a huge problem as a lot of you.
I had a chilling experience on the phone, though, a week ago.
A friend usually phones me on a Sunday just to chat- week before last he rings and is giggling like crazy- he has something to tell me that he thinks is going to crease me up.
He then proceeds to tell me about a mutual friend (now this is just gossip we tell each other things and say things to each other that will NEVER go any further, please believe we are not being evil here!!)
Anyway this mutual friend- who has more money than sense- had an animal communicator in to help her horse- the woman sounded bad, as if she was a bit of a fraud- maybe she had had talent once but it did sound as if she was faking it.
Long story short he though the whole idea was nuts and was sure I would agree.
I took a deep breathe, and Yes, I set him straight.
I was not sure if I would still have a friend at the end of it, it's a bit like "coming out" and it was HARD.
He did listen- well, it is not as if I gave him a choice, and I did get him to admit that I had put him straight when he had been in agony with his back, but he would not even consider that some of these people- and we have to have genuine ones here as you do, actually are not charlatans.
Mind you he is someone who needs a clip round the ear with a two by four just to get his attention.
I have got so many of his hard to load animals on in two minutes flat, I have halter trained an untouched yearling colt in half an hour for him....HALLO!!!!!
He just said I "have a way with me"
*sigh*
I guess some people take longer than others.....

In a word..yes.

I've come out of my closet this year slowly and unsurely. I have yet meet anyone who pooh poohs the ability to commune with animals.

So tell those who are taking your beloved furkids all you can so they, in turn, can commune with them better also. When I have sold or traded one of mine, I tell alot, probably more than the buyer cares to learn but, gosh darn it, if they don't get back to me just amazed at how right I was and how "if they take heed to what I said" the horse/dog is such a sweet and loving addition.

Now in Techno's case I was honest about her "attitude" and lack of loving disposition, Tech is a loving and affectionate mare. Course N talks to her furkids like we do.

I also tell the animals what's happening so they aren't confused. The only one I have failed to reach is Thera. Since Treasure died in Sept Thera just doesn't give me flicker of love.

As for me, I gave up months ago caring if folks think I'm a bit touched or weird cuz I am and I love it. I have yet to sell to anyone who wouldn't listen to all I can tell them about this beloved one I am selling.

I know how much you love your furkids K, and how very hard the selling is for you. But imagine how lovely to have the "inside scoop" on just who they are taking into their lives could be. Might make them treasure and appreciate the new horse even more! Kind of like "personifying them".

I will ditto both experiences shared. You wouldn't believe some of the things and it is not going along with the owners comments. My most devistating and deepest one was with my Treasure. I so didn't want to let her go but I sat with her and we "talked" and she rested her head on mine and I felt what she had to say to me and though my heart broke and remains damaged still, I know I did what she wanted me to do.

! I could just see him and you on that hill. As for other communicating..it is always special for each one. Sometimes I get absolutely nothing. I am still exploring my abilities and learning each and every day.

I get pictures, sometimes a name, sometimes a small movie even. Words once in a while.

I think if everyone would just let their guards down a bit and open themselves up to the power of wonder and possibility, many could sense and read more.

I have NEVER been in the closet so to speak. This is where I differ from most I have met here. I grew up surrounded by people with "abilities" and family that encouraged exploration into this part of being. I tend to gravitate naturally to people who are open to all the psychic realm type things. I will say however I read tarot for an acquaintance not realizing she was a super skeptic and just thought it would be fun.......sure scared the crap out of her with some of the things I told her ....then she relaxed when I told her I wasn't reading her mind that the info is always out there to be tapped into :smt023 :smt023 she is alot less skeptical now :smt002

That said I don't technically communicate with animals, read their body language yes, feel their pain yes, occasionally have a strange word or thought pop into my head yep, but have a chat nope never. I do talk to all my animals and all the wildlife around me.....I pretty much sound like a loon if you were to sneak up on me. My youngest son communicates to some degree with the animals as he often TELLS me what they have said to him.

I do however often get weird animal related info in dreams. One friend of mine has always counted on my dreams to tell her which mare is having what sex and color of foal........so far I have only botched one......also I never intend to get the answer it just happens I wake up after a dream where the mare has foaled...now if I could dream the dates it was going to happen I think I could have a real lucrative bizness :smt002

I think first and foremost one needs to be comfortable with who they are regardless of what anyone may think of them. Some people are just not into this kind of thing and that is just who they are to me. So therefore, I don't spend a lot of time with people who do not deeply love animals and I have always found that those who do will never think me weird or foolish for it, just who I am. I've never met an animal I didn't like. Wish I could say the same for people.

I verbally speak to them all and explain the things that I feel they are concerned about. I find horses are terrible gossips and rumors travel even faster than in human circles. When there is a death, I try to make it to each stall and paddock to explain what happened and to comfort them about it. My own get the full blown emotional version and I find them, especially C, to be my strongest emotional alli. I wish you all could see this mare's eyes when I speak to her. Her expressions are almost human and I can tell she understands each and every word. I just get so angry sometimes when I think of all the sadness she must have endured not feeling wanted or cared about for so long but at least she knows how much I love her, how much I love them all.

Sorry to be just chiming in now on this thread but Debs reference to Techno just made me smile. She warned me of this mare and her attitude when I inquired about buying her. So I expected this ears pin hard to get along with mare. I was very leary of her at first but from the moment I saw her she was just so beautiful to me. Shes not the rail thin long necked show beauties that everyone longs for but I longed for her cant explain better than that. She is just the sweetest mare I could ask for not Ms personality but just sweet thats the only word I can think of and I thought WOW Debs sure missed the boat with this one but nope she wasnt like this with Debs she just loves her home and we love having her. And her babies are the most personable from birth of any in the barn. But I must say just like Debs, my daughter is NOT Techs favorite person she plays with Js mind all the time coming at her like she would like to bite her and charging her door at her at times. She plays her like a fiddle. LOL
