Send us Fan MailDr. Annie Petersen re-releases a 2001 Animal Bond Academy episode featuring animal communicator Cindy Richardson. Richardson explains she is a communicator rather than someone who can control animals, describing how many pets change behavior out of love while some remain stubborn. She shares formative experiences, including a powerful in-person healing with an injured horse that later hugged her, and her belief that humans and animals connect through spirit and affinity. Richardson discusses common reasons clients seek her help: end-of-life timing, vacations, vet misunderstandings, family changes, grief, and unexplained physical issues. She describes being clairaudient and clairsentient, offers a snake’s perspective on death, and contrasts hands-on healing touch with intuitive healing at a distance, including rescuing a hummingbird. 00:00 Podcast Intro and Rerelease 00:57 What Animal Communicators Do 01:37 Childhood Calling to Animals 02:05 Horse Healing and the Hug 04:05 Why We Bond With Animals 05:01 Top Reasons People Reach Out 05:48 Grief and Misunderstandings 08:05 How Animals Communicate Back 08:57 Snake Wisdom Moment 09:41 Healing Touch and Distance Work 11:24 Hummingbird Rescue Story 12:44 Human Animal Bond and Farewell https://www.instagram.com/resilientanimal/https://www.facebook.com/TheResilientAnimalhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/association-for-human-animal-bond-studies/
