I am grateful for this article and the links you shared. I have always shared a special connection with animals and plants. My first awakening happened at the age of six, it was early summer and very early morning. I was outside watching two doves in the tree who were cooing at each other. All of a sudden I understood exactly what they were saying to each other and I began speaking with them. They told me about their life and I told them about mine. I was so excited that I ran in to tell my parents and sisters that I could understand what the doves were saying. My sisters laughed at me and made fun of me, my parents only looked very concerned and told me that it wasn't possible. My intuition continued opening during that year, and I had conversations with trees and plants and other animals. I realized that everything was connected and felt the pain when someone began chopping a tree down. I tried to explain what was happening to my family. They consulted with professionals, and it was finally decided that I needed psychological/psychiatric intervention. To stop that step from happening, I shut down completely. Intuitive information continued arriving; I tried to ignore it and never spoke about it again to anyone. My heart center began closing against humans, but remained open to animals and plants. I shut down partially against the other dimensions - I was never completely closed, and information continued to arrive, but I no longer acknowledged its source. I became a scientist, but always traveled along the edge between the dimensions. Ultimately, it was an abused black dog who brought me back to reawakening in 2007. He had many behaviors and difficulties I couldn't understand and work with. I sought professional help from vets and trainers. One day when we were working with a trainer in a park, the benevolence of creation arranged an encounter that was beyond fortuitous. We had worked with this trainer several times and she understood what we were going through. She began to suggest that she might know someone who might be able to help us, but she was hesitating to suggest it because she felt that I wouldn't be open. She was kind of dancing around the subject as we were walking along a path, and all of a sudden the person she was talking about just appeared in front of us. It was miraculous. Susan, the animal communicator. Susan and the woman spoke for a moment, and Susan said she never came to that park, but something drew her there that morning. She spoke with Zuki (my dog) for a moment, and said that she might be able to help us. And we began working with her. At the first session, she told me things she could only have learned from Zuki, and it was as if my whole life collapsed into a finely focused beam, and I had an intense memory of that summer morning decades ago when I spoke with the doves. And all of a sudden I realized that I was not insane, and that interspecies communication was real, and all the intuition I received my whole life was real. Susan helped us so much and she helped me to begin reawakening.

I have spent the past couple of days in an energetic resonance with Anna Breytenbach. Thank you so much for posting those links. I did not know of her work. I've watched the full documentary and some other available videos and lectures. She is a fully awakened being who we can all learn from. Thank you again for sharing her special gifts with us.
