What Animals Know About Awakening
Summary: This conversation explores what animals, plants, and even insects may perceive, and how genuine communication can arise across species. It also looks at horses, compassion, death, reincarnation, and what animal awareness may reveal about human consciousness.
Questions This Interview Explores
- How does real communication with animals begin, and what makes it different from imagination or projection?
- What do horses reveal about social life, hierarchy, and a more circular way of relating?
- Can insects, plants, and trees participate in consciousness in a way we can actually meet?
- How do animals experience time, death, and reincarnation differently from humans?
- What role do compassion and presence play in perceiving another being clearly?
Emelie has been working fulltime since 1995 with empathic communication with other species, non-hierarchal riding and handling of horses, alternative treatments such as acupuncture, homeopathy and herbal medicine. She has published three books on these subjects. She runs a school with mainly horses and other species for empathic interbeing. This school is a farm that is a sanctuary for around 170 animals of different species – not to mention plants and surrounding nature.
