Wow, indeed!Asia: Oh yeah!

y: What did God appear like to you? AA voice?

Asia: 1grew up with a fear of God, thatwas male and judging. 1 was afraidof my teen and adult life that heto hell.

Asia: After niy car accident 1 adopteda dog. My other dogs died in the car accident. Her name was 'Makeba: She was ablack, white and gray dog - some kind ofLab / Australian Shepherd mix. She had ahard start in life and when 1 got he r fromthe Appleton Shelter at 8-months old; shewas already very challenging and wouldgrowl at me.We started dog lessons in Oshkoshwhere we were almost kicked out of theclass because she would lunge at everyone! 1 was exhausted just trying to holdher near me, let alone learn anything. 1finally decided 1 had to start talking to heron another level in order to get throughto her, that this behavior just wasn't goingto work.

So I set the intention that 1 was readyfor my animal communication ability 1had as a child, to come back to me. 1 uststayed open to her. One time, after a fewweeks when I was in the livingroom, Icouldn't hear or see her, but in my head,in a voice different then mine, 1 heard,"Water!" I thought that must be Makeba! 1ran into the kitchen and found her standing over her empty water bowl!I knew my ability to communicate withanimals was coming back. 1 kept practicing with her and she with me, and by theend of the 10-week class we finished infirst place!Nancy: That's amazing! Do you work withall animals, wild and domestic?

Asia: About 95 percent of the time 1work with domestic animals. Of domesticanimals, 1 mainly work with horses, dogs,and cats, although I've also worked withchickens, iguanas, gerbils, ferrets andeven a frog!

Nancy: A frog? This is very interesting. Dothey have different sounds in their voices,i.e., higher/lower pitch, etc.?

Asia: Yes, they all have different voicesto me. When I work, 1 actually tr y to copyexactly how they sound so their persongets the "full affect" o f their personalityNancy: Tell me about your horse?

Asia: My first horse, which 1 still have,is named "Rocket Powered Slider.n Hepicked his name. I t took me six weeks tofigure it out because 1 was so resistant tohaving my first horse named anythingwith Rocket in it! 1 have a story abouthim that involved a Veterinarian. Rocketwas sick and coughing. 1 called a veterinarian, Dr. Michelle, who does acupuncture. We were all out in the barn. I washolding Rocket while she was looking inher acupuncture books on where to placethe needles for a horse who is coughing.Rocket started talking to me in hismatter-of-fact confident voice, "Thllher to stop looking in the book, 1 knowwhere I need the needles ." 1 said, "Noyou don't. You have never had acupuncture before. QUiet, she's the expert. /He continued, "Yes, 1 do, it is veryimportant that you tell her - now!"He took a deep sigh and knew 1 didn'tknow what I was talking about, so hemade the acupuncture points on his bodyblink! 1 had never seen that before!I finally said, "Dr. Michelle, my horseseems to know were he needs you toplace the needles." She said, "1 am done(looking in my book), but go ahead." Asshe held Rocket's finished paper assessment, marked side to her chest, 1 pointedto the spots that Rocket had lit up.
