Professional animal communicator and medium, Shannon Spring is a colorful conduit between the human and animal worlds. She receives messages from pets and other animals and passes them on to the humans who care for them. That is, answers to behavioral, emotional, and medical challenges.
spring Open Mic for Animals: Fairy Tail Evidence Includes page-turning chapter after page about her interspecies success story. Everything in the St. Petersburg Press book, the Sarasota-based author maintains, comes down to what she calls a simple principle. golden retriever rules.
“Treat them with unconditional love as they would treat us,” Spring explains. “Be respectful. And always, always look at things from their perspective. What's fun for you may not be fun for them. So always ask yourself, 'What if I were a dog? , cat, or horse, would you want me to be your pet parent?'
Animals are “constantly thinking and feeling much more than humans know,” Spring argues. Please be kind to animals. It's okay to fool around and joke, but remember that our words and actions contain a lot of energy and affect the quality of our children's lives. and their longevity.
“There are a lot of really kind, dedicated pet parents out there who want to do right by their pets. And they don't know what they're doing wrong when they're not doing right by their pets.” Maybe you just don't realize it. I don't want to be bossy or pushy. I want to be helpful.”
Spring, who holds a bachelor's degree in human development and communications from Boston University and a master's degree in education from The Citadel Military Institute, is also a graduate of the National Speakers Academy. Through her own company, Just Humor Me, she gives keynote speeches and presentations “from boardrooms to ballrooms, headquarters to retreats” about the role of positivity and humor in creative problem solving.
“I know how to make people laugh again when they haven't laughed in years,” she says. “Because I've felt the same way they do before.”
Similarly, open mic for animals is often hilariously funny. She discovered that most animals have a highly developed sense of humor. And each one is different. “We all know that animals are very funny,” she points out. “But being funny isn't the same as stand-up comedy being funny. Or you can have some good, sharp one-liners.”
As she reveals in the first chapter, her journey into the finely tuned medium was not without wrong turns and heartaches. “I didn't want the book to be just about how I became an animal communicator. I wanted this book to be about how I became an animal communicator, to do this work at the level I do,” I wanted it to be a really transformative story about people having to clean out their trash cans.”
Spring, who has trained with mediums around the world, can sense and translate animal energy. And yes, she ran into skeptics along the way. She often reminds people that she is the messenger, not the message, and she sometimes jokes that she is able to do her job because “I don't mind getting punched in the face.”
But at the end of the day, “I don't care anymore, because I know how it works. And if someone gives me due respect how the process works?” If you explain it to me, I will answer their questions.
“They show up wanting to make fun of something, but in the end it's the animals who have the last laugh. The spirits have the last laugh, and so do I.”
Animals “know everything,” she says. I've had animals bring up childhood traumas to people and say things like, “Hey, your husband is cheating on you,'' or “Your employees are stealing from you.'' I even received one. Plus, they know how we feel about ourselves. ”
Her dogs Grover, Kermit, and Meyer Puppypants all have their own stories and shining moments in this book. They all talk to her regularly and help her get through the ups and downs and difficulties of her life.

“I wrote this because there are still a lot of people who don't know that animals are more than cute and cuddly,” Spring says. “Or, worse, some things are here just to serve people. I wrote this to make people say, “Is there one?”
“Just like looking at your child's face, your pet's face can tell you a lot about how you as a parent are doing. Are they happy? Are you honest? Are you healthy? Are they healthy? How do they feel when they're near you? Animals are always teaching us and inviting us to be our best selves. Just like children.”
