Beyond Words: Talking with Animals and Nature

by Marta Williams, Marty Becker (Foreword)

Animals and nature can act as teachers and guides, send warnings of impending danger, or simply make life more joyous. More profoundly, intuitive bonds with the natural world can foster life-altering changes and spiritual redirection. Beyond Words describes what people experience when they connect intuitively with animals and nature. In her first book, Learning Their Language, Marta Williams taught readers how to make this connection; here she explores how life changes once they do. Williams describes a photographer who is healed by dolphins in the waters off Hawaii, how a rottweiler helps her female companion seek the assistance she needs, and how young Neil and his horse Feste together learned about life, death, and loyalty. Easy-to-follow exercises and practices help readers experience these same types of communication.

Mostly short stories related to various animal communicators and particularly stand out communications. Good book, emotionally twingey on ones heart.

Another fascinating book from Marta Williams about intuitive communication with animals. If you have any interest in that at all, you will be hooked just a few stories in. Now reading one of the books mentioned by Ms. Williams: Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home ad Other Unexplained Powers of Animals by Rupert Sheldrake. And already hooked on that one.

I really enjoyed reading the many anecdotes about animal communication, as well as connecting with plants. I love the confidence and hope in Martha's books that we all have the ability to speak with animals and nature and to make a difference in healing the planet.

Interesting and upbeat. I believe animals can communicate with us in many ways, but I'm having a little trouble believing that they converse with us in English with correct grammar and usage.

“Beyond Words” is special to me. In 2006, it was autographed: “For the animals and the Earth!” When I read in Richard Webster's “Your Psychic Pet” that animals really do answer us; I sought animal communication in Manitoba. A Marta Williams was coming! My fiancé urged that I would be glad I went. I am; despite a scare towards my cat. I was asked to keep McCartney apart from safe dogs he had greeted, instead of a lady removing her uncontrollable pet. My boy, sixteen now, was all right. A few pupils talked with him later, indoors. Amelia Kinkade's “Straight From The Horse's Mouth” opens with her cat attending her introductory experience!

I loved Marta's first book, “Learning Their Language”, too. Also autographed, it is a full course by itself. I gave it five stars but this important discussion is certainly receiving four. I queued it until now but got the positive, encouraging things out of it that I did in Marta's first. She is a clear, thorough, but simple writer and a motivating teacher. I saw for myself, by verifying impossible-seeming impressions from two pupils' pets, that this really does work! The key is verifying something odd, that could not be generalized. When a visitor from Québec agreed that I must be picturing their dog eating a bowl of cereal.... wow!

This book too guides self-teaching; a little about how to centre ourselves and tune in. However it mostly relates experiences, showing why animal communication is real. The sour note was mentioning euthanasia overmuch; especially its awful expression. It is less disturbing to discreetly say an animal died. Even the chapter about loss should not repeat that ugly detail and just convey the comfort: of forever staying connected. All of the testimonies, about telepathic communication, are a revelatory treasure!
