In Straight from the Horse's Mouth, Kinkade shares her practical program that has helped hundreds of clients break through to communicate with their pets.
I discovered this book in 2004, after our kitty passed away in her second decade. I needed to know other people are aware animals are sentient like we are; that the expression about being "voiceless" is inaccurate. I always knew they understand everything we say and that they're answering to us too. But I was thunderstruck to discover that all of this is provable! People were indeed the ones who weren't understanding, when animals spoke. The inferior communicator wasn't them. And we can learn to understand what they are saying! It changed my life and was all the proof I will ever need, that my beliefs and inklings were right!
I hadn’t heard of Amelia Kinkade or the surreal practice of “animal communication”. She happens to be Rue McClanahan’s niece. She spins narrow-minded perception, the human illusion of superiority, on its head. The question of whether other mammals and every other animal speaks, reasons, and has opinions are the chief reason for presuming inferiority and disposability. Imagine how many fewer would be eaten or killed for being homeless, if you witnessed or held for yourself a two-way conversation with them! Their lives depend on us having this information.
I hope Amelia teaches in Canada. She addresses the soul of loving animals as family; revealing that they do think of us as “Mom & Dad”! Their answer to everyone’s most poignant question: “Do they know how much we love them?”.... is an easy YES! Tears streamed, when she described what it was like the moment her cat crossed over, of natural causes. I rejoiced at finding this book. It refreshed my grieving soul. I need it again in 2014. Unfortunately one sweet cat son, is gone twenty years too soon. I’ll try to take heart that our connection is still here.
Amelia has a funny and easygoing writing style. I really liked all of the exercises and meditations in the book and was amazed and touched by many of her anecdotes. I definitely feel confident in learning to communicate with animals after reading her book.
I wish I had read before losing our cat to a coyote attack and knowing what to do to prevent it. The story telling and her style of writing is a delight. She has a gift with animals and shares with us on how to enhance our ability as well.
As with her book The Language of Miracles, I found her understanding and explanation of spiritual things just as deep and enjoyable as her knowledge of animal communication.
