Madeleine Walker's An Exchange of Love pushes the boundaries of what it is possible to achieve through telepathic animal communication, beyond what we might have ever imagined.  There is no other way to say it.

 

As any animal communicator will tell you, it is the animals themselves who are our best teachers.  Through her work with animals, initially as a communicator and ultimately as a holistic healer, Madeleine has been transformed by the animals she has worked with, and her trust in their messages, and in the messages of her spirit guides, has enabled her to accomplish many small miracles.

 

Ms. Walker's philosophy is deceptively simple.  As she explains it:

 

 

 

     "The words, 'an exchange of love,' represent the ability and willingness of one to

     to heal another.  This form of communication works on many levels.  First there is

     the one-to-one link between myself and the animal on a physical and mental level.

     All I feel at this point is a giving and receiving of overwhelming love.  When trust

     is established, even the most apparently aggressive and dangerous animal relaxes,

     and the communication begins."

 

Among the most challenging cases that Madeleine Walker chronicles in her heartfelt account is that of Shannon, a mare who had become anxious, unpredictable, and even dangerous.  Though Shannon's person seemed to understand that her dear horse harbored no malicious intents, she had begun to despair because it had become virtually impossible to work around Shannon, let alone to ride her.  As Madeleine began to communicate with her, Shannon revealed that the source of her agitation was to be found in many of her past lives, when she had been a victim of a predator or had been powerless to escape from some attack:

 

     "She showed me a lifetime when she had been a dray horse in London during the

     blitz.  A bomb had fallen on the building where she had been stalled and she had

     been hit and mortally injured by the fragments of metal, wood and stone.  The

     sense of helplessness and inability to escape was overwhelming.  This seemed to

     be a repeated pattern as she showed me many lifetimes of trauma."

 

To help horses like Shannon, whose present-day behavior belies trauma, injury, or terror suffered in previous incarnations, Madeleine has developed a technique whereby she processes the energetic holograms of the animal's past selves by enabling them to be transformed through her own body, at which point she delicately reintegrates them back into the animal.  With Shannon, as with so many of Ms. Walker's clients, this unique form of "soul retrieval" has often successfully restored a sense of peace to formerly tormented animals.

 

For aspiring animal communicators or for anyone who would like to enhance her connection with animals through the use of telepathy and intention, Madeleine Walker has encouraging words:

 

     "Everyone who is open to the concept of telepathic communication can learn to

     communicate with every living thing on the planet--and possibly the spirits of

     those who have died, too.  It's simply a question of remembering our long-buried

     skills.  It only depends on how committed you are to deepening your connection to

     all that is. . .Learning to listen is the first part; really hearing is the important bit."

 

An Exchange of Love is a collection of profound and moving stories, and best of all, they are all true.  They will expand your understanding of what animals feel, sense, think, believe, and experience, and most poignantly, allow you to peer into the depths of animals' connections with their human companions, and of ours with them.
