Transcript:
If one really gets into the perspective of a different species, to imagine what it might be like to be that species in their environment, with their priorities, with their dominant sense, and with their ways of going about things, I can literally know from the animals perspective what their motivations are. And for any behavior, there's always a reason that's driving that behavior. And then beyond even the species perspective, we also need to be able to get into the perspective of the individual. Much like humans, different individuals have different personalities, different needs and wants.
Then to set about an empathic understanding, it's not inappropriate to start that with an imagined activity. What might it be like to be that goldfish in that bowl in the doctor's waiting room? And it helps a lot to first imagine their physical reality. Place yourself as if you were on the inside of the bowl looking out and seeing all the surrounding furniture from that perspective. Now imagine what it's like to be wearing that skin and scales or body covering. Once we begin to imagine what it might be like to be inhabiting the five sensory world of that creature, we are laying the very good foundation for us to be able to perceive that individual being's particular experience and thoughts and feelings about things.
When one drops into the relational field that's already there, perception and information just sort of arises and maybe seeps into our awareness more because we are quiet for once and we are focused. Whatever is reverberating through the field becomes available for perceiving and is being done so on the unconscious level. Our instinct isn't something that we have to switch on, nor is it entirely individual. Our instinct is contextual.
And perhaps the art of asking a certain question to sort of pull out whatever just really is important to that other being like they're they're in pain, or they've got a need is what's going to be quite loud on that energetic landscape, speaking from a quantum physics point of view, and so that will automatically come to my attention. But what's happening is that those emissions of what is - thoughts, feelings, circumstance, state of dehydration of a tree, injured left wing of a bird, these have just been broadcast into the space as our thoughts and feelings by the way.
And until those incoming bits of data filter through my mental database of vocabulary, life experiences, emotions, images, and find a match, I wouldn’t know about it. If I'm connecting with a young elephant, who's perhaps been found wandering around and, and separated from the herd, and I'm feeling their separation anxiety, what might come first to my mind is my own personal memory of first day at school when I was five years old because I was experiencing separation anxiety then. And that's because the energy is a match.
So several people standing in front of the same animal might translate the incoming messages differently within themselves, and nobody will be wrong. I might get a memory of my first day at school, the next person might in a very dry, technical way, just see the words “separation anxiety” in their mind's eye, Somebody else might just get the raw emotion.
We are suffering from a great separation sickness ourselves. And in our days of rush, we're kind of crushing our spirits. We have short attention spans, we demand immediate gratification, we’re permanently distracted. We're not even long with our own pets in the evenings. We might be there as a sort of hollow skin bag, but we're on devices or watching something distracted in our minds. And the animals just sit there looking at us like “Hello, lights are on but no one's home.”

Finding this woman's youtube videos has changed my life. Im autistic, and this has validated how I communicated as a child, and gently led me back to skills I thought were gone forever. We have so much to learn about love.

[@LAStars-sratS]

I’m happy to here this. I’m happy for you 💖 that’s lovely❣️

[@anandshakti1]

Love this woman! Her video of Diablo to Spirit I watched many years ago and have shared it with as many as possible. She is definitely the real thing and helps all of us calm down and be apart of nature not the onlooker. Thanks for sharing this.

[@brandon2912t]

I was just saying this in my mind and there was your comment! I fist saw her video about 4 to 5 years ago and have shared some of her videos many times. The video about Diablo who is now known as Spirit! It makes me cry every time. This woman is connected into the Quantum Field which is what we are all connected to and that is where we create our reality from even if we don't know it! I would love to meet her and take one of her classes!

[@phoenixrising5088]

She is brilliant. I've watched Diablo/ Spirit, many times. Incredible Woman. 🌌💓💝

[@jeanpatterson4283]

There is a video where she talks about Spirit as he has now passed on after 20 years. He was living freely with the two leopard cubs that were with him. One of them has also passed on.

[@cassthefairyyy]

@@jeanpatterson4283oh wow ! i just saw the video about spirit the other day ! this is beautiful. i’m so glad he’s at peace & can be free with the other cub :)

💖 Anna truly understands heaven and what God’s creation/intent is. How lovely for her to have removed the chaos from her Life. A Rare and Exquisite Being 💖 as we all should be❣️

[@larryfulmer]

Thank you Anna Breytenbach. What a Educator you are.

[@alice86142]

This lady should be famous worldwide

[@melissa3986]

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all learn to talk to the animals? What a world this could be.

[@spaceengineer1452]

A good start is to stop killing them...

[@zeina2409]

I know right? Like, we could talk and get to know them so much more than what they '' show'' to us. And maybe create "friendships'' even if we already create/build some with our own animals (dogs, cats, fish, spiders, horses, pigs and more) ☺️🤗

[@HUYI1]

we all did have this gift many eons ago but was lost...

[@La-La-La-gj1nb]

Sure, it would be wonderful! Ask that woman to stay put in a lions den, talk to venomous snakes, to chill with crocodiles in a lake. It is beyond me, how people blindly believe sweet words, not challenging ANYTHING. Can you imagine the impact she would actually have if this was true? The whole world would have changed, but it hasn't, because it is a lie

[@kittyj1926]

Wow. I would like to see this video on the curriculum in every school, at every level. I am moved to tears by the truth and wisdom contained in it. Thank you Anna.

[@annalizavos4775]

Beautifully explained. Observation and awareness is our best teacher. You tap into the field and gets clear communication. How I long for humanity to realize this. 💚

[@allthingsservethebeam4668]

Anna is one of the most precious humans on the planet. I strive to live like her daily. Thank you for the wonderful video!

[@mjrotondi5086]

The closer we get to Mother Nature, ours nature, the happier we will be. Turn away from machines and turn back to NATURE ; animals , forests, water. Happiness follows.

"Truly experience is the only real teacher". So true and astonishing! A beautiful explanation of How to hear what nature is saying.

[@juliai3956]

I've "put myself in their shoes/bodies" since I was little. I use this all the time to better understand how to draw and position them as an artist. Somehow I knew this was also how to get into their mindset but it feels very strange to say out loud in our materialistic belief based world.

[@parrislucas_]

Wow just imagine if we all could see like this woman what a beautiful world it would be. She is as close to an angel as these eyes have ever seen

[@hennomarais]

Thank you for making this. I loved it.

[@bbcb1856]

Yes, I felt so much peace watching this

[@JoyTruscott]

Anna, I adore your gift and work. Beams of Love to you.

[@Macismad]

I have been working to master the notion of listening to what the Universe is trying to tell me now for about 12 years. It is an ongoing thing. This video and Anna have now added more dimension to it. It I would seem that the dynamics are the same for what she extols here and what I have even working on. So glad I came on to this.

[@lifewith16dogs14]

She is a higher soul. Definitely. Those I k ow who do this are really pure

[@HUYI1]

she is not even from this planet imo very old soul

[@hedgewitch59]

Anna is the most amazing person. Since I was a child I've wanted her gift.

[@BIGFACTSENTERTAINMENT]

Where has this lady gone?? I want to see so much more of her communicating with animals like lions and others

[@sarah-jaynemcdonald2594]

She has her own channel. Its called Animal Spirit.

[@onelittledropintheocean]

My growing awareness led me to stop supporting the meat, egg and dairy "industries" ... Since then, my awareness has grown tenfold & it's become very difficult on a heart level to exist at all as I am so ashamed of the species I am member of. It's one thing to destroy our own species, but we are taking down with us ever other species too 😥

[@goldenflowerpm]

Thank you Anna, Chris and Dawn for this beautiful offering. Anna, your work always brings me Home 🙏🏼❤️

[@Annie-ZA]

SO TRUE Anna! 👌🙏🤗

[@Wayfinder141]

Thank you Anna. I needed to see this! A wonderful watch at the start of my day. So glad you are well & active. 💚

[@rosemoon8072]

its so funny how at the beginning at the beginning he says he cant imagine that animals can communicate with humans, even though 'Spirit' is growling and warning him to stay away, and in the footage at the beginning where the lions are CLEARLY showing their affection and trust towards him ... THAT is communication !!!!! It is not that animals cant communicate , its taht WE DONT LISTEN (in general) and dont see HOW they are communicating .. and because we cant, we assume other creatures are LESS intelligent .. far from it .. everything in nature is constantly communicating .. we are the ones who need to learn from it all, not the other way around .. thank goodness for people like Anna, there is hope for us yet !

[@charlessmall8426]

I think Anna is one amazing lady with a true gift

[@annesom5648]

Exactly how I experience the world. Thank you ❤️

[@lauradryer1962]

Presence, it's all about being present...Anna, you are such an inspiration to me, my existence totally revolves around animals...I wish I had your communication gifts, I can only give my utter and complete presence to them and hope they feel my love and appreciation for who they are...

[@egroegable]

Thank you for your awesome, much-needed contribution to this planet Anna.

[@liv57]

This is very beautiful and I can feel the truth of what you are saying. Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤

[@brandon2912t]

Anna, you are an amazing human being and I am so in awe of you and your work. I can only imagine how trying this work can be aswel as being rewarding. The neglect, cruelty and misunderstanding of animals and how we should be treating and respecting them must be hard to bear if you have an empathic soul as I do. 1hat she is talking about us being too tire for our pets I was only just talking about yesterday! Synchronicity is playing its role! Great video, thank you for sharing! I love her work!

I feel so heard and felt and so coming back home when hearing this always. I sometimes just sit somewhere and feel my throat chakra wanting to say something and notice it's the tree next to me wanting to say something. Nature is magic, we are magic, the miracle and oneness can only happen in equality and love for all beings

[@kiranjoshi5267]

Thanks for the most profound insight. This sadly reminds us how far we have lost from the nature and have completely lost our communication and connection with nature. Advanced spiritual masters are having infinite love towards all sentinent beings, there aura is so pure that those who came near them are instantly feel safe and positively charged. They say that if your heart is totally opened then a single blade of grass can give you enlightement or you can hear what plants or even ants are speaking. Thanks for sharing 👌👍🙏

[@GOLDMANWALKiNG]

There can be no darkness without the night There can be no love without the light Only the night can live in the dark Open the light To shine in your Heart Open your Heart let it Shine bright We will destroy any absence of light Buzz with love to dissolve the dark Resonate God within your Heart Feel the Gnosis in the Air Feel Divinity everywhere Blossoming lotus within your soul Don't let darkness take its toll infinite gratitude for this channel 1OVE PEACE AND HARMONY GRATITUDE UPON GRATITUDE

Thanks Anna, its so beautiful. I would realy like to learn this skills you have. All animals need to be respected and protected. once again Thanks.

[@TheClevengers]

Beautiful message… i can so relate. ❤

[@DharmeshPatel-lu4dd]

We humans have gone far , far very far away from our herd (which is other beings on the planet) and developed our own way of living, perceiving, thinking, producing, reproducing and some many things which are un-natural and against our 'basic' nature of our being...Time to return to our home and i see its a very difficult path and humans are very slow to learn and adapt. Wonderful video - diving back into nature

[@sharonlhenry4030]

Those who are naturally intuitive, perceptive, sensitive and able to empathise and tune into the frequency of other living beings understand your words of wisdom. Unfortunately humans seem to be increasingly distancing themselves from nature and immersing themselves in technology and materialism. Many feel the need to all fill their time with activities and socialising. Leaving space in ones life to just be and to commune with nature, particularly in solitude, can open the senses to our surroundings. This could improve people's ability to appreciate how vital it is for us to respect and nurture nature all that lives on this planet and the environment on which we all depend. Ignoring the fact that humans are an intrinsic, and unfortunately destructive, part of nature and depend upon our planet's ecosystems for survival and sustenance is taking us on the path to self-destruction. All creatures, plants and the elements are inter-dependent on one another. When a link is broken or damaged it has a knock-on effect on other plants and creatures who have symbiotic relationships and whose survival depends on complex food-chains and often unique environmental factors. Indigenous tribes used to live in harmony with nature only taking what they needed to ensure that all could replenish and nothing was wasted. Now modern living away from the land has unbalanced everything.

[@stephaniereneerose]

Indigenous humans weren’t evolved, though. They killed animals because they held the belief that they were superior and more valuable as a species. They were also violent towards each other. The most evolved, compassionate humans are the vegans.

So, long story short, we have detached ourselves from the nature

[@skybeveridge4091]

How do you differentiate between the messages you are picking up from an organism and the thoughts you have of what you might think is happening with what you are observing. To put it simply. How much of it is intuition and how much of it is our own thoughts leading us to understand what we are observing ??

[@alice86142]

This probably doesn't help much but the way I see it, we have a higher self, and everything has a higher self, so I guess in a meditative state, you are speaking energetically to that being. Of course, our minds do have egos so it would take time and patience to learn that skill. Physically, id start with animals such as pets, or birds, and if you wanted to speak with something a bit more challenging such as a wolf, tiger, or shark type of creature, meditate from afar. Ted Andrews has a good book called Animal Speak, that I could heartily recommend.

[@user-rd6dh4hq1j]

I very much would love to learn animal and plant communication. There are several different online courses - ebooks, etc - I don't know which one is best 😔 Does anyone have a recommendation maybe?🙏

[@doodles3075]

When Covid hit and we went into lockdown, i sat in our garden, and you could feel nature repairing itself. The air was crystal clear( i live on a road). You could hear all the birds singing. We also had huge flocks of Ringnecks( the council have now started killing them😡) flying over. You could feel the excitement coming from them as they called to each other. We also had a family of 5 hedgehogs apear, usually its only one at a time❤ Now we are back to normal you dont feel or see it any more😢

[@dinaj1312]

It’s so hard to have a view like hers in our world. I love my surroundings but at constantly at battle with ignorant humans trying to impede this. They kill the wildlife I’m trying to save and they do it with anger and nasty attitude. It’s hard to have compassion for humans. As a whole it’s a disgusting group with very few who care at any remote level as Anna or myself. I still keep doing what I do. I care for all the animals that pass through my little yard even if it’s a daily struggle agains the human race.

[@stephaniereneerose]

I experience this too … Isn’t it so disheartening? Humanity is such a defective species!!! 💔

[@ashleygood2541]

Its like looking in the mirror. Whatever you focus on at the moment is what you will notice everywhere you look. Both yin yang are equally present. Ask yourself, who I Truly am? And when the answer is given to you, you won't judge anymore because there is no one else to judge. 💗

[@stephaniereneerose]

@@ashleygood2541 What you speak isn’t truth. “Judgment” is to bring awareness for evolution of heart and character … Being part of the One doesn’t mean we are every individual at the individual level, because each manifestation of Source has its own experience and executes its own free will choices.

[@trueblu8]
