"Our motivation is compassion for all beings and a desire to help all species understand each
other better, particularly to help restore the lost human ability to freely and directly communicate with other species.
We honor those that come to us for help, not judging, condemning, or invalidating them for their mistakes
or misunderstanding, but honoring their desire for change and harmony.
We know that
to keep this work as pure and harmonious as possible requires that we continually grow spiritually. We realize that telepathic
communication can be clouded or overlaid by our own unfulfilled emotions, critical judgments, or lack of love for self and
others. We walk in humility, willing to recognize and clear up our own errors in understanding others’ communication
(human and non-human alike).
We cultivate knowledge and understanding of the dynamics of human, non-human,
and interspecies behavior and relationships, to increase the good results of our work. We get whatever education and/or personal
help we need to do our work effectively, with compassion, respect, joy, and harmony.
We seek to draw out the best in everyone and increase understanding toward mutual resolution of problems. We go only
where we are asked to help, so that others are receptive and we truly can help. We respect the feelings and ideas of others
and work for interspecies understanding, not pitting one side against another, but walking with compassion for all. We acknowledge
the things that we cannot change and continue where our work can be most effective.
We respect the privacy of people and animal companions we work with, and honor their desire for confidentiality.
While doing our best to help, we allow others their own dignity and help them to help their animal companions.
We cultivate understanding and ability in others, rather than dependence on our ability. We offer people ways to be involved
in understanding and growth with their fellow beings of other species.
We acknowledge
our limitations, seeking help from other professionals as needed. It is not our job to name and treat diseases, and we refer
people to veterinarians for diagnosis of physical illness. We may relay animals’ ideas, feelings, pains, and symptoms
as they describe them or as we feel or perceive them and this may be helpful to veterinary health professionals. We may also
assist through handling of stress, counseling, and other gentle healing methods.
We let clients decide for themselves how to work with healing their animal companion’s distress, disease, or
injury, given all the information available.
The
goal of any consultation, lecture, workshop, or interspecies experience is more communication, balance, compassion, understanding,
and communion among all beings. We follow our heart, honoring the spirit and life of all beings as one."
