Asking animals to change their behavior is not always “one and done.” In my experience, most need time to shift to a behavior you’d like to see more of.
One session of animal communication can ignite a huge shift. More likely, it will open up the possibility for change. Or clarify what we’d like them to change and what’s in it for them if they do.
Animal communication with my animals
My two wonderful dogs came to us with difficult behaviors. And my two sweet cats didn’t get along. I wish one communication session with them was all that I needed. A “one and done.” But it wasn’t.
Over time, by using animal communication, all of them shifted to behaviors that are easier to live with. Patience and not giving up were crucial.
Shifting our perspective out of one and done
To shift my perspective and find more patience, I consider personal habits I’ve changed.
For instance, when I realized I had a drinking problem, it took me time to stop drinking. Afterwards, I wouldn’t hang around drinking groups because the temptation to drink was strong. There’s a saying, “If you’re not a lion, don’t go into the lion’s den.”
In the early years, I woke up from dreams of getting drunk. They felt so real. Finally, after years of personal work, drinking didn’t entice me anymore. I had moved on.
Have you ever decided to exercise more, eat healthier, lose weight, let go of a relationship or a grudge? Your experience probably wasn’t, “I made the decision – and poof! – my behavior shifted.” I bet it was a process for you, too.
Our animals also need time to change!
Maybe they have triggers from past experiences. Or personal habits that frustrate us. They are their automatic, “go to” behaviors.
That’s why it takes them time to shift, just like us.
A session opens possibilities rather than being a “one and done”
An animal communication session finds the cause for their behavior and focuses on that.
Often, people notice a change in their animal’s behavior or attitude after the session.
Many times, it takes a while to see consistent improvement. That’s why I often give people homework. So they can continue to support their animals. And sometimes more sessions are needed.
