5.0 out of 5 stars A great read for young and old!, May 26, 2004

By 

Patricia Wade (Palmer, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Awakening to Animal Voices: A Teen Guide to Telepathic Communication with All Life (Paperback)

Last year, Dawn Brunke came to our tribal Ya Ne Dah Ah School to talk about animal communication. As part of her talk, she guided the children through a journey to experience what it was like to be the little fish that was swimming around a bowl in the classroom. I followed along, wondering if the exercise would work for me. Closing my eyes and connecting with the fish, I began to feel what it was like to float and swim through the water with little fins attached to my body. For a few minutes, I actually experienced what it was like to `be' a fish - and so did the students.

This amazingly wonderful book is easy to read and appropriate for young and old alike. Like Dawn's first book (Animal Voices), Awakening gave me a greater appreciation for animals by reading their voices as they share their observations and wisdom. Dawn also relates how she learned more about animals by connecting with them in different ways - through animal communication, dreams, healing experiences, power and totem animals, and more. For example, she writes about observing an eagle, and suddenly seeing through the eagle's eyes. Her book explains how anyone can do this.

In addition to a very appealing graphic design with lots of great quotes, animal motifs and photos, and boxes containing animal messages and stories, Awakening to Animal Voices has many other voices too. It includes advice from professional animal communicators as well as animals...from horses, cats and llamas to donkeys, turtles and even some Iditarod sled dogs. More than that, it has exercises, games, meditations and projects aimed at helping readers to connect more deeply with animals (and themselves) by drawing on their own unique strengths and abilities. I only wish there would have been something like this for me when I was a teenager. It will put young readers at a great advantage that many of us older spiritual-seeking bookworms didn't have.

This review is from: Awakening to Animal Voices: A Teen Guide to Telepathic Communication with All Life (Paperback)

Dawn's first book, Animal Voices: Telepathic Communication In the Web of Life, was an eye-opener for animal lovers. Dawn has once again written an excellent book, this one applicable for people of all ages, not just teens. She provides many exercises and thought provoking concepts throughout the book which leave the reader with no doubt that they too can telepathically communicate with animals. Of all the animal communication books out there, I believe this is the best one for awakening your inherent abilities to communicate, no matter your age. I highly, highly recommend this book.
