Synopsis

How to connect with animal guides to expand individual and planetary awareness As companions, helpers and spiritual guides, animals have always held a special relationship with humans. As we access our natural ability to communicate with animals, we cannot help but open ourselves more profoundly to life, other human beings and our own deep nature - the essence of who we really are. ANIMAL VOICES, ANIMAL GUIDES presents a wide variety of ways in which we can tune in to the universal language of all life and reconnect with the animal kingdom in more conscious, meaningful ways. Through myths, shamanic journeys and dreams we meet our power animals, spirit animals and wise animal guides. The exercises, meditations, stories and experiments included are designed to help us tune in to the subtle whispers of nature and expand our awareness. We learn what sled dogs have to teach us about teamwork, how llamas see themselves as healers of the world and how it would feel to inhabit the skin of a shark.

When we learn how to use all our senses to listen to animals, we will find out how to listen to our authentic self as well.

"Eighteen simple exercises, such as creating an animal fetish or meditating on a power animal, encourage readers to develop their own innate abilities."--Richard D. Wright, New Age Retailer, Fall 2009

"Of course, for those of us with an almost inseparable connection to our pets, it's no surprise that Dawn and others like her have discovered many ways to communicate and connect on deeper levels with these personal "mystics" we all have, if we'd just realize it."--Mary A. Shafer, Almost Perfect Pets blogspot, June 2009

"Another useful facet of this book is the how-to-aspect. Dawn intersperses a variety of exercises throughout the text for those who want to further explore their relationship with animals, nature, self, and spirit. . . . suffice it to say that this is a must read for those who love or interact with animals of any kind."--Alys Culhane, Alaska Wllness, Nov-Dec 2009

". . . Dawn brings a deeper understanding through her skills as an animal communicator, helping us, through her dialogues with animals, to see beyond the physical world, and to increase our own knowledge of all of nature as intelligent, wise, and deeply mystical. . . .
