VIBRATIONAL COMMUNICATION
by
Karen Nowak
November 5, 2006
We interact with our animals, and the world, each from our own unique
perspective. Cultural heritage brings to each of our lives a collective
set of beliefs from which we draw conclusions and make decisions
throughout our lives. The relationships that we share with our
animals are individually created, influenced by all that is cultural as
well as what becomes uniquely us over time.
Man, during his evolution, narrowed and came to believe that the verbal
was the critical and only means of communication. With urbanization many
no longer relied on their senses for survival. In the process of
narrowing, it became a predominant thought pattern that not only the
vibration of the vocal chord was the only means of communication, but
also that the vibration of the ear drum was the only means in which one
hears and gathers information.
In contrast, our animals never veered from using all of their senses. Animals are born with basic information, known as instinct, and
characteristics that are predominant for that species and/or breed. Animals in the domestication process have acquired behaviors that are
different from their wild and ancestral counterpart. They have adapted
to human contact. Animals live what is presented. They assimilate
information in an attempt to live peacefully with their human
companions. Nevertheless they view the relationship with man
through a filter of herd, band, litter, or whatever grouping they come
from, and attempt to relate to us through that system.
Evolving over time, our
interaction with animals has shifted. No longer working with, and for,
humans, but now being asked to put aside working breed characteristics,
has created strife in many an urban or city household. In the new
relationship with man, many animals have adapted and taken to the life
and job of being a companion, but many have not. Animals have
taken on stresses similar and in relation to their human care giver.
In daily interactions with our animal companions, we read what they want
through their actions. Many a dog communicates in very obvious body
signals and many humans are aware of the meaning, this being a form of
communication. Your horse is actively telling you its needs,
communicating through the vibration of its intent, when it's calling for
its breakfast long before you arrive in the barn. These are very common
examples of your animal communicating and sending out its intent for a
result; they want something, and find a way, without language, to tell
us. Often we instinctively know when something is wrong with our animals
long before outward signs manifest, on some level we are picking up on
the vibrational change. Vibrations carry information in a non-verbal
form. Anyone who has ever seen a horse pin its ears back knows by the
intention and vibration sent out that the animal is angry, this being
non-verbal communication.
We live in a universe of vibrations. Intention puts energy in motion. We
send out an intent to call someone and the phone rings and they are
calling us. How many times have you said, "I was just thinking of you"
when someone calls? Vibrations radiate throughout our lives sending
information out into the world. Vibrations offer a multitude of
information on a non-verbal level. They not only communicate intent. They hold information of past trauma, whether it is physical or
mental-emotional. Our animals convey their sadness, but are often not
able to communicate the "why." This vibrational reason is stored in
their being, their mental, emotional, spiritual body. Long after a
physical trauma such as cuts and bruises have healed we all know from
our own experience that a mental-emotional component such as fear can
remain. The same is true for our animals.
Working and building up our muscles of perception takes practice and
opening to listening with our whole being. As a society we are
accustomed to living cerebrally, and not bringing our focus into other
parts of our bodies. Through spiritual practices, such as yoga and
meditation, many are stepping out of that dominant paradigm of thought
and hearing with more than their ears and seeing with more than their
eyes.
In listening and seeing with the whole being we are able to gather and
assimilate information that is not readily available or communicated on
a surface level. When we are deeply aware that something is wrong, with
no outward proof, that is information that is being communicated. We are
communicating in the world of the unseen, just as we are functioning in
that realm when we feel and express love.
It is possible to receive information from an injury, whether it is
physical or mental and emotional, and offer a vibration in return to be
chosen and integrated by that animal to enhance the healing process. Anyone who has ever offered a child a lap and a hug, after what to that
child is an earth shattering tumble, knows they didn't fix it or change
it. They instead offered an intent and the child chose to integrate it. The same is true in working with stored information in an animal's body. Many times we are not fortunate to have our animal companions from birth
and they come to us with behavioral issues that are stored in their
being. Through working on the level of intent and vibration it is
possible to release the vibrational pattern that is creating a physical
behavior, just as it was possible to introduce an intent to that child.
Communication comes in many forms and works on many levels. Assimilating
information received on the vibrational level is as much a form of
gathering information as is using the vibrational patterns of the eyes
and ears. Extending beyond dominant forms of communication enables
us to function beyond the physical, offering another means in the
communication-healing process.
