Interspecies Communication

Kinship With All Life
by J. Allen Boone
Is there a universal language of love, a "kinship with all life" that can open new horizons of experience? Example after example in this unique 1954 classic—from Strongheart the actor-dog to Freddie the fly—resounds with entertaining and inspiring proof that communication with animals is a wonderful, indisputable fact. All that is required is an attitude of openness, friendliness, humility, and a sense of humor to part the curtain and form bonds of real friendship. For anyone who loves animals, for all those who have ever experienced the special devotion only a pet can bring, Kinship With All Life is an unqualified delight. Sample these pages and you will never encounter "just a dog" again, but rather a fellow member of nature's own family.

Animal Wisdom, Communications with Animals
by Anita Curtis
Anita Curtis' book offers heartwarming true stories of human contact with animals, as well as teaching readers how to communicate with their own pets. "Animals are a joy and a delight to communicate with," states author Anita Curtis. "They are so open and honest, willing to freely give unconditional love and ask for so little in return." In Animal Wisdom she relates wonderful tales gathered from years in private practice as an animal communicator. In this book is a moving story about a horse that longed to have a baby, a dog that helped solve a crime, and a cat that sent a comforting message beyond the grave to its human companions. In the last section are easy-to-follow exercises that will help readers develop the skills to communicate with their pets. The health benefits of human/animal relationships are well known. This unique, funny, and useful book helps humans to better understand the remarkable creatures that enrich our lives so much.

Animal Talk, Interspecies Telepathic Communication
by Penelope Smith
Excerpt from the Introduction:
"…Communion and communication with other species is not a new idea. This thread can be found woven through the world's religious traditions and as a basic fact of life in tribal communities of many lands. It has been exemplified by such outstanding individuals as St. Francis, Albert Schweitzer, Mohandas Gandhi, and Jane Goodall… …The intention of this book is to continue, restore, and assist this tradition of interspecies connection for those who seek it… …You'll find information here to help you get closer to animals by expanding your ability to communicate with them. May this increase the amount of joy and understanding flowing among all beings in this universe."

When Animals Speak:

Education & Training

Building A Bridge
from Training to Testing
by Marsha Smith & Shalini Bosbyshell
A guide that will help you and your dog bridge the gap between your practice sessions—where you can motivate your dog with praise and encouragement—and the obedience trial ring—where you and your dog must work together in near silence and still deliver your best performance. The motivational practice session and the nearly silent test are two very different modes of training—especially from your dog’s point of view. You can help your dog make the transition from the practice session to the test by adding an intermediate confidence building mode of training. When you devote a percentage of your training time to building your dog’s confidence, you’ll be helping him learn to perform without needing to rely on your constant encouragement. When you understand the distinctive characteristics of these three different modes of training and practice them with your dog, working in silence will become familiar and friendly territory. available here

The Other End of the Leash
by Patricia McConnell, PhD
Animal behaviorist Patricia McConnell describes and compares the body language and communication styles of canines and primates (us), revealing the ways in which we're naturally compatible and ways in which we're not—and how we can change our behaviors in order to better communicate our meaning to our dogs. This book is as fun to read as it is informative. The author is a great story-teller and relates many of the experiences—some amusing and some touching—that she’s had with her own dogs and with her clients’ dogs. A “must-read” for anyone who shares life with a dog.

for Your Dog and Cat

Goldstein begins with a broad explanation of the origins of diseases in pets, then moves on to taking action against those diseases, not only offering thorough discussions of specific ailments—including cancer, allergies, and arthritis—and the holistic medicines available to help in the healing process, but also speaking to the "dubious legacy of vaccines" as well as the questionable quality of pet food. Finally, Goldstein turns his attention to the spiritual realm, addressing both the bonds that we have with our pets—and how those bonds aid in preventing and fighting our pets' health problems—as well as dealing with the death of a beloved pet.

General Interest

Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge
by Jeremy Narby
A personal adventure, a fascinating study of anthropology and ethnopharmacology, and, most important, a revolutionary look at how intelligence and consciousness come into being. This adventure in science and imagination, which the Medical Tribune said might herald "a Copernican revolution for the life sciences," leads the reader through unexplored jungles and uncharted aspects of mind to the heart of knowledge. In a first-person narrative of scientific discovery that opens new perspectives on biology, anthropology, and the limits of rationalism, The Cosmic Serpent reveals how startlingly different the world around us appears when we open our minds to it.

Limitless Mind: A Guide to Remote Viewing and Transformation of Consciousness
by Russell Targ, PhD
Amazon's Product Description: The psychic abilities of most humans are dampened by the clatter of our conscious minds. In this timely book, Russell Targ draws on the work of ancient mystics and traditions - Gnostic, Christian, Buddhist, Kabalistic Jewish, Sufi, yogi, and especially Hindu spiritual master Patanjali - to show readers how to quiet this noise and see into the far reaches of time and space through remote viewing. This psychic ability offers a path of self-inquiry and self-realization and expands each person's limited awareness of the consciousness shared by all humans. Targ explores its scientific as well as spiritual implications and offers techniques and exercises to nurture this universal but mostly untapped skill.

The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You
by Elaine N. Aron
Are you an HSP? Are you easily overwhelmed by stimuli? Affected by other people's moods? Easily startled? Do you need to withdraw during busy times to a private, quiet place? Do you get nervous or shaky if someone is observing you or competing with you? HSP, shorthand for "highly sensitive person," describes 15 to 20 percent of the population. Being sensitive is a normal trait—nothing defective about it. But you may not realize that, because society rewards the outgoing personality and treats shyness and sensitivity as something to be overcome. According to author Elaine Aron (herself an HSP), sensitive people have the unusual ability to sense subtleties, spot or avoid errors, concentrate deeply, and delve deeply. This book helps HSPs to understand themselves and their sensitive trait and its impact on personal history, career, relationships, and inner life. This book is essential for you if you are an HSP—you'll learn a lot about yourself. It's also useful for people in a relationship with an HSP.

The Sensitive Person's Survival Guide:
An Alternative Health Answer to Emotional
Sensitivity & Depression
by Kyra Mesich
The Sensitive Person's Survival Guide presents a radically new way of looking at emotional sensitivity and chronic depression and anxiety. Through her own experiences and courageous research, Dr. Mesich (a traditionally trained psychologist) has found that psychic sensitivity is the underlying key to understanding emotional sensitivity. Dr. Mesich's book focuses on empathic ability, the ability to literally feel other people's emotional experiences, also known as psychic feeling. This misunderstood ability often results in recurrent depression, anxiety, and the painful aspects of emotional sensitivity due to our society's denial and repression of the existence of psychic phenomena. With simple, down to earth language and case studies, Dr. Mesich demystifies empathic ability, and explains the relationship between emotional sensitivity and psychic sensitivity. Readers also learn specific alternative health remedies and practices they can immediately implement in their own lives to rebalance their sensitivity and reconnect with their empathic ability.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad: what the rich teach their kids about money—that the poor and middle class do not!
by Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter
Amazon's Product Description: Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective from two very different influences—his two fathers. One father (Robert's real father) was a highly educated man, but fiscally poor. The other father was the father of Robert's best friend—the Dad who was an eighth grade dropout who became a self-made multi-millionaire. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad." Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at age forty seven. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter lays out Kiyosaki's philosophy behind his relationship with money. Rich Dad, Poor Dad opens readers eyes by:
            —Exploding the myth that you need to earn a
                high income to be rich
            —Challenging the belief that your house is an asset
            —Defining once and for all an asset versus a liability
            —Explaining what kids need to know about money
                for their future financial success

Updated and expanded, this anniversary edition reframes The Artist's Way for a new century.

Audio Book

Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting:
The Astonishing Power of Feelings
by Lynn Grabhorn
Because this audio book is read by the author, the listener has access not only to her words as she recounts her own experiences and discoveries, but also to the energy and enthusiasm she has for the transformation she experienced as she began exploring timeless truths about life. She makes a great case for the observation that the inner choices we make have a far greater impact on our happiness than our outer choices and that we always have the ability to choose how we respond to life—whether we realize it or not.
