Episode 46: Caring for the Instrument that makes Animal Communication Possible Artwork

Animals & Us - Voices of a New Paradigm

Animals may not speak in our language, but that doesn’t mean they have nothing to say. In fact, they have tremendous wisdom and they have important messages for us. In Animals & Us, we explore intuitive interspecies communication and the incredible insights animals have for us all. Join your hosts Dr. Barbara Shor, veterinarian and animal communicator, and Avantika Mathur, public health professional and researcher, as they explore concepts of oneness, spirituality, telepathy, sentience and animal consciousness. Their hope is to inspire people to deepen their appreciation and reverence for animals, nature and all living beings.

In this episode, we’re joined by Manjiri Latey — outdoor educator, wildlife enthusiast, and animal communicator based in India.

Together, we explore the evolving field of animal communication in India, the role of intuition and embodiment in connecting with animals, and the importance of caring for the “instrument” through which communication happens. Manjiri shares reflections from her years of experience facilitating telepathic animal communication workshops, along with insights on grounding practices, trust, validation, detachment, and empathy.

We also discuss:

Animals as teachers and guides
Reconnecting with nature in modern life
Doubt and skepticism around animal communication
Hindu and Buddhist teachings and practices
Consciousness, compassion, and inner awareness
Learning to trust one’s own intuitive experience
