Social media as well does help and the ways in which even we relate to our pets. I think during those lockdown years also people were at home more with their pets and maybe felt a bit more with them and appreciated what pets are in our lives. A lot of pets are really properly chronically depressed because people are not with them.

People come home and they go straight on to, you know, watching a movie or documentary or being on their devices. So it's like this hollow ghost. The human body is there, but their presence and their awareness is not with the animal. It's been waiting the whole day just for some of your time and attention.

But with things like social media and the kinds of documentaries that win awards these days, there are lovely ways in which inspiration is accessible to people. And yes, the more light is shed upon, the more subtle ways of knowing, the better. And then there's no substitute for experience. I've come to feel that experience is the only teacher.

And so I encourage anyone to just get out there and practice with it. Whether it's a cool, you know, sort of, you can treat it as a guessing game, even if it isn't. You know, the sort of telepathy test with yourself or your friends. And better yet, just a heartfelt connection with your own animal, just saying silently inside your own mind, what do you want to show me?

And then trying to say as still and as calm on the inside as possible to sense an answer. Play with it yourselves. If everyone just tries it out in the spirit of fun and playfulness, no pressure. That's when we start to rebuild this muscle that we were born with. It is in our human design.

We just don't give it the time and attention that it deserves and that the world needs right now for reconnection and for walking a way forward together with the other species.

The workshops that I have run over the years are less about teaching and more about helping remember that folks can practice with this. And like I've alluded to, most of the work is actually getting out of our own way. The only online course I do have available I did with a colleague is called For the Love of Animals. And it's six modules, self-paced.

One module is the telepathic connection technique, but the other are all around the necessary work for clarity and precision and effectiveness, which is getting out of our own way, including our emotional responses and the meaning we make and so on.

For those who are considering becoming practitioners or who want to attend weekend workshops, I can highly recommend the website of Penelope Smith, who is regarded as the grandmother of interspecies communication. Her website is animaltalk.net, and she has there on her website a very large database. of professional animal communicators who have subscribed to a code of ethics she devised in 1990.

A very beautiful code of ethics that gives the sovereignty and the intelligence credit to the animals as well. So folks who are on her database have subscribed to that code of ethics and there you can find a consultant and or an animal communication teacher around the world. There's a lot of US resources there as well. And, yeah, just again, I encourage people to play with this possibility.
