Animals and nature can act as teachers and guides, send warnings of impending danger, or simply make life more joyous. More profoundly, intuitive bonds with the natural world can foster life-altering changes and spiritual redirection. Beyond Words describes what people experience when they connect intuitively with animals and nature. In her first book, Learning Their Language, Marta Williams taught readers how to make this connection; here she explores how life changes once they do. Williams describes a photographer who is healed by dolphins in the waters off Hawaii, how a rottweiler helps her female companion seek the assistance she needs, and how young Neil and his horse Feste together learned about life, death, and loyalty. Easy-to-follow exercises and practices help readers experience these same types of communication.

From Booklist
Williams' premise is simple: if it is true that animals can sense emotions--fear, for example--in humans, then why isn't the inverse also possible? She calls this concept "intuitive communication," describing it as the innate ability humans have to telepathically communicate with animals and other sentient beings throughout nature, including trees and insects. Realizing that such a notion will invariably be met with extreme skepticism, Williams presents a trove of anecdotal evidence collected from people throughout the world who have gained genuine insight into animal behavior. Indeed, it is this acceptance of initial aversion to her hypothesis that is Williams' greatest strength, for she takes pains to frankly and methodically present compelling evidence to support her claims. Working with everything from cats and dogs to bears and snakes, Williams explains how such communication works and outlines basic techniques. A passionate advocate for an unorthodox but potentially significant field of inquiry, Williams cogently demonstrates how intuitive communication may greatly affect environmental awareness.

Review
“Marta Williams does it again! Her moving and profound message of the vital and everyday nature of interspecies communication is crucial to helping us remember our place in the natural world.” — Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words “This is a book with a pulse, the heart of which is in its compassion for animals. Marta Williams not only talks with the animals but teaches her readers to do it too. This book offers exquisite moments of attention, much needed.” — Linda Hogan, author of Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Natural World and Power “My dog Jessie and I were fortunate to be able to attend a workshop with Marta Williams. I believe anyone who lives with and loves animals will benefit from her insight and her innate ability to teach.” — Catherine Ryan Hyde, author of Pay It Forward and Electric God

Probably most folks who will look at this book are already believers in animal communication but even for those like me who are, there is an abundance of profound and amazingly touching anecdotes in it.
My wife and I have called on Marta for help with our cats on several occasions with great success. As a direct result of reading her previous book we can now often communicate directly with them ourselves. This new book is truely a gem and whichever book you read first, you will likely end up wanting to get the other as well! They are easy to read and understand, and make great gifts! Even children who are too young to be able to read on them on their own can learn to communicate with animals; actually learn more easily than adults.
Even if you don't have a live-in companion, animals are all around us and they love it when you make deeper contact with them. If you love animals, this book is a must have!

Marta shares many interesting stories in this followup to Learning Their Language. Understanding your pet is so important, and the more we can learn about and develop positive interactive communication signals the stronger will be the bond we share with our furry family members. Being "in-touch" with
your pet is an important part of enhancing the human-animal bond, and a critical part of a successful holistic health care program. Those clients whose patients I am proud to treat who are most in-tune with their pets have the greatest successes with both preventing and treating diseases.

Format:Paperback
In this book Marta Williams carries forward the concepts described in Learning Their Language. She gives many case histories, examples of how intuitive communication has been critical in the lives of the animals whose cases are described. This is both fascinating and moving. The implications are unnerving, but worth incorporating into your world view.
