There is a fascinating article in Scientific American today about a scientific study into the ability of human brains to communicate directly with each other without words.  This has a lot of implications for topics we frequently discuss, so I thought I'd share the link here. It is well worth reading.
Scientists Demonstrate Direct Brain-to-Brain Communication in Humans
In a new study, technology replaces language as a means of communicating by directly linking the activity of human brains. Electrical activity from the brains of a pair of human subjects was transmitted to the brain of a third individual in the form of magnetic signals, which conveyed an instruction to perform a task in a particular manner. This study opens the door to extraordinary new means of human collaboration while, at the same time, blurring fundamental notions about individual identity and autonomy in disconcerting ways.

That’s how animal communicators send and receive information with the animal world. I’ve been taught techniques by experienced animal communicators and I can tell you brain to brain, or more accurately, energy to energy communication is a real thing and works with practice. Â
I know there are a number of momentous, historical events occurring but still, given the purpose of this forum, I will relate my modest tale of animal-to-human communication, which is to say, mouse-to-me.
We live in the woods and despite two visits by people who are supposed to air seal houses, our house is still easily breached by mice. I used to use have-a-heart traps but for many reasons, I switched to snap traps. I set one the other day and although I routinely check it every morning, I felt it imperative to check the trap immediately late evening in the evening. As I looked at the trap, it was disappearing under a chair which sadly told me that a mouse survived the snap but was trapped in it. (I am now scanning the web for alternatives and will find yet someone else to air seal the house.)
The interesting piece of this episode is that it is very clear to me that I picked up on the distress of the mouse which supports jpages57's assertion and RosieHeart's article posted several years ago.
It just occurred to me that if a mouse transmitted distress and I received it, sensitive people must pick up on the distress of people caught in war-torn areas or in any disaster. I have received distress vibes from close relatives in the past and I know this topic has been discussed, but the ramifications of having highly receptive capacities are hitting home with me after this personal experience with a tiny creature that was unrelated to me.
@raincloud Yes, the sense of connecting with an animal is amazing... I once looked down while putting laundry in my washer... Â a tiny field mouse was staring up at me a bare 2 inches from my foot... the smallest movement of my foot could have sent him to eternity. Â Instead, I said out loud, "you know I can see you, right?" He just kept staring at me... I looked away for a brief moment and when I looked back the wise little mouse had disappeared.
I have excellent mind-to-mind communication with my cat but other critters--- forget it.
I've tried, in meditation, to tell raccoons to leave my attic and possums to leave the crawlspace. In a nice way, like "OK guys, this house has been here 140 years and you haven't, it's a people house, and I have nurtured a nice natural mini-forest in the back yard so just get out and go live *there*, OK?Â
Didn't work. Had to evict the raccoons with loud classic rock radio and spend a lot of $$ on critter-proofing the crawlspace for the possums. Â
I also tried evicting termites by telling them they were going to get gassed if they didn't leave-- Too bad, they had to die and we had to shell out $$ to get the house tented. (This is Florida- they were drywood termites which are near-impossible to prevent and they just love chomping on old houses.) But I guess that was a longshot-- termites can't have much of a brain. 🙃Â
Should have let the opossums stay...they eat termites. 😂
Yes! I was never a cat person but a straggly kitty followed us home one day ... Now, my cat chatters away in my brain. When we went on vacation for a week - after three days -the cat stopped talking to me. I half wondered if the constant rubbing is necessary to the communication. Or is it proximity? Or did he forget about me?
He tells me that another family member cannot communicate with him that way - and that family member says the same. Can some people not communicate through direct brain to brain means or is it a matter of not being open to it?Â
And no I cannot communicate to the ants that our kitchen is not a safe place for them.Â
Â
I had a funny moment with the bees near our house the other week. They have a hive on our property and I sometimes "talk to the bees" in my thoughts when I'm sitting near them. I went really close to their hive this time and asked if I could stand close to them. Â I heard very clearly in my mind "please move back, you are making the hive anxious". Â So I did. haha. I guess I won't go to near them again.Â

@raincloud, Just seeing this post of yours two months later. Â I too have picked up on the distress of a mouse and a trap. Mice are very similar to humans, so hurting them is extra tough. Â I bought some mice-size have a hart traps but had a bad experience where the mouse died in one. Â I actually saw the trap from the mouse's perspective, which is to say that the trap was huge in my vision. We really aren't separate from them if we can experience their experience like that. Â
On another occasion, I awoke early in the morning to see an enormous ant the size of a horse, coming up from under a brick. Â It wasn't really that big. It was me in the psyche of the ant, seeing things from ants-eye-view. Turns out we had carpenter ants in one of the walls, so I guess my dream had a purpose which didn't work out well for the ants.Â
Oh, it is so hard to be an empath and keep mice out of one's home! I have bought every have-a-heart trap multiple times but they mostly don't work. I think mice are cute except when they leave invade my kitchen. I wish there were a psychic mice-prevention field with which I could encircle my home. Snap traps are cruel when they are not 100% successful, air sealing has not yet worked....help!
