q&a
Q: Can you give me a short understanding of animal communication?
A: Humans and animals (also plants & really all beings) are able to communicate without verbally spoken words - i.e. telepathically. Animals communicate by sending images and messages mentally, energetically and emotionally. Young human infants are often sensitive to this type of communication as well; however, in our modern world, they are taught to only speak verbally and most adult humans now communicate with predominantly the spoken word. As the world is evolving and more people are awakening, we are finding more children who continue to communicate telepathically and an increasing number of adults are re-awakening their abilities to speak this "language." This is what I (Sigrira) do. I communicate across distance and without speaking out loud and clearly hear the full and deep thoughts and feelings of your wonderful animal companions. The information is received as words, visual images, physical sensations and emotions. I additionally operates as a multidimensional medium in sessions - calling on the animals' guides and "soul-self/higher-self" to join in and offer further depth of clarity.

Q: Were you born psychic?
A: I believe that all of us are born "psychic" if you will, or with keen intuitive abilities, and all of us can learn to communicate with animals. I learned from one of my childhood animal companions (in spirit) that I fully communicated with them & other animals. However I don't have direct memories of these conversations since I was less than five years old. They helped me to "dull" my abilities back then because it was too emotionally painful for me as a child to see animals not treated as equals and to see them being eaten as a regular part of most people's diet. And, it wasn't until 2007, even though I have always been extraordinarily close to animals and even grew up believing they were my brothers and sisters, that I re-awakened & began remembering how to hear what animals and trees and plants and all living things communicate.
Q: What is an animal intuitive?
A: I describe an animal intuitive is someone who is able to communicate with animals (alive or in spirit.) There are many types of animal communication. The most common is communicating personal messages from animal family members to their people and I call that an animal intuitive reading. This is the kind of reading I most often provide. It is also possible to communicate with wild animals, if they are open to it. For example, communicating with animals in the garden in order to share the space peacefully. An animal intuitive may also connect with wildlife that does not typically interact with humans and with animal spirit guides. I have been receiving messages from wild animals lately -they are sharing ways to help them energetically and physically.
Q: What do you actually hear or see when an animal or a plant communicates with you?
A: For me, whether it is a tree or an insect a chipmunk or a cat or a dog, what I get and hear seems to be the same. In addition to having spent virtually my whole life so close to animals, now that I hear animals (and trees, etc.) I know even deeper in my soul that we are all equals, and that we all have deep feelings, emotions and thoughts. I feel as though I have actually also learned some about how humans feel, by hearing and understanding the feelings of animals and other non-human beings.
Anyway, yes (and I do totally believe that all humans have this ability, we just need to awaken/access/trust that ability, so, you can do this too!) I hear and see "in my head" communications from other non-human beings. Sometimes at the beginning of a session animals will appear to me in a certain way, they may "sit" on a pillow nearby, or sometimes even "energetically" rest on my lap receiving the reiki I always offer during the session. When I feel their emotions or "pain" in my body, it feels almost the same as if it were my own emotions/pain, (less intense-more of an awareness) & then after I disconnect from them, I release what's theirs. Sometimes I get symbols & images but other times, yes, I hear (or see) words inside my head. The words just "appear" (if you will) in my head as a knowingness. So, in a way, it is a little cumbersome to use human language to describe, but basically it just happens (and I believe it is just "happening" to many as more of us are opening to our personal sovereignty and abilities) and it becomes just another (wonderful and exciting and magical and deepening, but then also just "there") aspect of how you live.
Q: How did you learn to hear animals (and all living things) and develop your psychic language skills?
A: For me, since 2007, it has been a kind of gradual awakening. It was a series of things - having some readings done by a medium, getting messages from my beloved uncle, guides and sons who are now in the light, meditation, tarot cards and taking some courses & reading books by other animal intuitives. Originally, throughout most of my life, I had more of a connection with larger animals. However, once I was able to hear/feel what they were saying, I realized that I could also connect with a tree, crystal or a much smaller animal like an insect.
Q: What do you do when you communicate telepathically?
A: I always start by going into my heart. I invite my guides and the animals' guidance too. Then, I send the rainbow rays of reiki & unique healing energy to the animal I want to communicate with and ask for a communication. I usually ask the human companions of the animals to tell them they have asked me to connect with them, this way they are expecting it and are not surprised. Jarvis and Juneau and my multidimensional guidance team often help me by connecting first and explaining to the animals that I will be reaching out to them. Once we are communicating, I send thoughts or questions in words and images and receive words and images and feelings back. I continue to send Reiki throughout the session and many animals express how much they enjoy the healing.
Q: Is there anything different about your reiki for animals?
A: In 2012, before Jarvis was diagnosed with cancer, I was sitting in my living room sending him Reiki healing energy as I had for many years for his digestive discomfort. All of a sudden, in place of white light, (how it normally looks to those who can *see* energy) I saw rainbow light coming out of my hand. Unsure of what this was, I asked my guides. They told me that with understanding their own bodies and energy work, animals are actually more advanced than humans. In addition to being able to diagnose their own illnesses and imbalances, most animals are also aware of the different vibrations of colors and chakra correspondence needs. Animals are often able to select the specific rate of vibration (that appears to our eyes as different colors) of healing light that they need. My guides told me that because I focus exclusively on animals, moving forward, I would now be transmitting light broken down into its rainbow colors or "rainbow light" to animals that I work with both in person and remotely.
The rainbow light began in 2012 for me and since then my reiki and energy healing has continued to evolve as I work with a large multidimensional and galactic team of guides who assist with sessions. My personal guidance as well as the animals' guides fully participate and assist. I don't really have a name for it at this point - because it so so unique - but the animals are saying it feels powerful (yet gentle) and their humans are confirming that with feedback of them feeling better. For example, this past week I sent reiki to a beautiful dog in Colombia, South America and her mom messaged me the sweetest note- that after I worked with Lola, she insisted on going on the longest walk yet since her surgery a few months before. It makes me SO happy to be able to help animals feel better!
Q: Is there anything different about your intuitve /communication sessions?
A: I do not acknowledge a species hierarchy. Therefore the animals know- feel- when they scan my heart that I see them as full equals. It is not possible to communicate on a deep trust level with someone we don't think of as an equal. I believe this helps them to open up and share more freely. I also invite their guides - whether those are in spirit, from the stars, or even the elemental realms. This adds a multidimensional quality that allows the animals to really assist their beloved people on a soul level.
Q: Do animals communicate with each other?
A: Yes. All animals communicate extensively with each other telepathically and sometimes also with sounds and body language. Animals (unlike people) do not rely on physical proximity for communication and are accustomed to talking with others (including spirit) psychically.
Q: Do animals try to communicate with humans?
A: Always. They generally communicate through the heart/emotionally, energetically and telepathically, like sending thoughts, images or just feelings.
Q: Do you work with humans as well as animals?
A: My life path is focused on animals. However, since animals and humans are so connected, by facilitating communication between interspecies family members this helps the humans as well. The messages that humans receive from their animal family members often provide clarity and healing for issues they are dealing with themselves. Animal companions have "life/soul contracts" with us and much to teach us and an intuitive session is a lovely opportunity for them to directly convey what they wish to share.
Q: What about lost animals?
A: At this time, no, I am not providing intuitive services for missing animal cases.
I have helped with lost animals in the past, but what I truly feel I want to honor as my focus at the moment is in-depth soul level communications with animals, assisting them in expressing themselves for their human companions, and transformative energy healings for animals.
I do recommend hiring a trusted animal communicator to help find lost animals.
Q: Can you talk to animals that have crossed over?
A: Absolutely, yes. I communicate daily with my sons in spirit, Jarvis and Juneau. For me there is no difference in connecting with an animal spirit who is in the light as compared with communicating remotely with an animal. Sometimes it is "easier" because the animal has the perspective of having completed their life's purpose and a deeper understanding of their life here on earth.
Q: Can you talk to any kind of animal and what about say a tree?
A: First the overall answer. Yes, if something is alive, it is a sentient being with the ability to communicate.
When my husband and I were first looking for our home in Atlanta, we saw a home that objectively seemed perfect, but I just had a horrible feeling about it. Because of that, we didn't buy that home, but we did buy a different home that felt right in a near-by neighborhood. Once I had developed my ability to communicate, I asked one of the trees in my backyard if he knew anything about that house and why I had that feeling about it (at that time, I didn't know anything about the history of our neighborhood.) Anyway, he told me that there was a large pig farm there in the 1960's, so that made a lot of sense to me and explained why I had that uncomfortably negative feeling was still attached to the land around that house.
And, because people are often afraid of trees coming down on them during a storm, I was curious about how this all works. This tree explained to me that they have the ability to choose when and where they fall and their souls also can float out of their physical tree bodies (just as we float out of our physical human bodies when we pass into the light) and their souls can leave in advance if they know they are going to be cut down. I love trees and get so much comfort from them.
Q: What about insects?
A: Again, yes, absolutely. And, being able to hear say an insect that maybe used to look rather unfriendly, where even the name of the insect might sound "icky" e.g. a cockroach; however, once I have heard the thoughts and feelings of a cockroach, I know that it too is a full sentient being with complex thoughts and feelings and complicated relationships like ours.
Q: Is there a difference between species and are some species e.g. more intelligent than others?
A: In my experience, no, there is absolutely no difference in intelligence between species. I know we have been taught differently than this in school, etc.; however, my personal experience is that all sentient beings have minds, hearts and souls. All sentient beings think, love, grieve, reason, laugh, hope, dream, suffer, feel and guide and direct our paths more than we could ever imagine. It is my experience that in addition to having an amazing understanding of the emotional climate in their homes, animal companions also can explain things like the emotional conditions/personalities of humans and other animals in the family, etc. It is not accurate to judge the intelligence of other species by human standards of intelligence, ours is not superior, simply different from that of others.
What about what we were taught in school about human's unique ability to reason, the size of brains, etc.? Well, to the best of my understanding, whether it's a cockroach, an elephant, a lizard or a human, we all think and feel. Actually, many animals seem to have extremely advanced souls and the depth and selflessness of their focus and purpose, or in the language of energy, the high vibration of their energy, is often very inspirational and at a much higher level than that of many humans.
Q: What are your thoughts about reincarnation?
A: I know "re-incarnation" as a reality based on my personal experience. Although some say that they believe animals almost always if not always reincarnate into the same species, that is not my experience at all. There is no hierarchy in the sense that animal are "working toward" being human. Humans are not at the "top." All souls are equal and souls can choose to reincarnate as any species in any order they wish. A medium that I know quite well and have over-the-top respect for, gave a reading to a woman about her pregnant daughter and was told that the soul of the daughter's dog who had passed into the light before she became pregnant was planning on reincarnating as this woman's human child. I have done many sessions where animals mention having been human in past lives, sometimes connected with the human guardians from their current life. They show me details from these lives with much clarity. I have vivid recollections of my own of e.g. flying as a pelican and the experience of hunting and eating a snake. On the other hand, my son Jarvis, who was a cat in his most recent third-dimensional life experience, indicates that when he reincarnates he will undoubtedly indeed want to stay in the species he was last and reincarnate as another cat, and he is clear that he does not want to be a human. Also, it is my experience that because animals generally have shorter life spans than humans, it is not uncommon for an animal to reincarnate into another animal (or human) who will be with the same human family.
Q: What is a starseed animal?
A: The term "starseed" usually refers to a person that has lived incarnations on planets/dimensions other than earth, and they may feel some discomfort being human, like they don't "fit in" sometimes. There are also many animals who have chosen to incarnate on earth like this, and certain things may be very "new" or unsettling for them, they can sometimes be extra sensitive and they may need extra patience & comforting as they adapt. I also like to call them "starlight" animals because of the light they shine forth. There may be something in their gaze that gives the impression that they are "from the stars" and if you have a companion like this or have met one, you may understand what I mean by that. Most animals will readily tell during a session if they remember past lives on other planets/dimensions.
Q: What are your thoughts about being vegan?
A: From an environmental perspective, a plant based diet is most sustainable for our planet. I am not here to tell anyone what to do - but for me- my personal choice- it feels unthinkable to consider eating an animal- especially since as a communicator I can actually *feel* their loving beautiful energy and because I do not perceive a hierarchy of species.
Vegans have made an ethical commitment to refrain from contributing to animal suffering and do not believe we have the right to "use" animals for food. A vegan is someone who only eats and consumes foods and products that have not been a part of an animal. Generally this extends to other ethical lifestyle choices such as buying only "cruelty-free" cosmetics and products (those that have not been tested on animals,) and avoiding animal derived products such as leather, wool and down fillings. There are so many wonderful alternatives to animal products on the market now, so this it is all becoming easier all the time.
Q: Do animals know when the right time to leave is?
A: Yes. Based on my experience, all animals know when and how they want to transition to the light. Often they will tell you in advance a signal they will give you (even if that is say a posture, a voice or a sound that they have never made before and you don't believe they know how to do or make) and then when they're ready, they will indeed give you that signal. And, they will let you know if they want you there with them or if they want to transition alone, etc. I'm not sure if all humans have this same understanding or not, but from my experience, yes, all animals seem to have this knowingness.
Q: What is an animal intuitive?
A: I describe an animal intuitive is someone who is able to communicate with animals (alive or in spirit.) There are many types of animal communication. The most common is communicating personal messages from animal family members to their people and I call that an animal intuitive reading. This is the kind of reading I most often provide.
