Learn to speak 'lion'

SANDY was lazing on her back. She slowly turned her magnificent head to gaze towards her guests. The sun had made her sleepy, and she needed to close her eyes.
But she enjoyed the chat through the fencing. It was not every day that humans asked her how she felt. '
She knew they were genuinely interested, not like the tourists who focused their cameras on her and waited for a yawn and a glimpse of her teeth.
Two groups of animal lovers gathered at the Drakenstein Lion Park outside Paarl last weekend to take tips from animal communicators.
Wynter Worsthorne trained in the United Kingdom and has been helping people for five years how to tap into their own inner knowledge to understand the language of animals. She now lives in Cape Town.
She guided a group of eight in an overnight workshop designed around the captive lions who had been rescued by Paul Hart and given sanctuary at the park.
Shortly before they retreated to the Ingonyama tented camp in the park for the night, Paul joined them for questions and answers.
“I’m the eternal sceptic,” Paul said the next day.
“But I was amazed at some of the observations. For instance, a lady said she sensed that one of the lions was terrified of thunder. She was right, and no-one had told her that.”
“I’ve always loved and connected with animals, as a child with my mother, who rescued cats,” Wynter explained her talent.
“She could think a cat out of a tree. You have to get over the logic and trust your own intuition, believe in your ability, and then practiae.
“Veterinary surgeons, even though they are scientists, are open to what I do. I don’t teach, I am simply bringing out the ability of humans to communicate with animals.”
Wynter also does consultation, as well as wildlife projects such as Baboon Matters and the White Lion reintroduction programme. My first love is working with feral cats.
“I am able to find stray animals, even though it sometimes takes time,” she smiles. “Animals are like humans. When they don’t want to talk, they will turn their backs.
“If there is a big problem though, they will give you specifics. There are many emotional problems, and often it is not a problem animal, but a problem human.”
Wynter charges approximately R500 to assist with a problem that might take about a week to solve.
First you send her a photograph and she can start communicating with the animal from a distance. Often it is not even necessary to visit the animal.
When prompted on how she would keep a free roaming dog out of a certain section of a farm, she smiles gently.
“That is so easy. I would not even charge you for it. Simply talk with
the dog. Don’t confuse him. Tell him which area is dangerous and he should not go there. The other area is good for him. He will not have a problem understanding.”
I asked a friend to put the advice to the test. She did, and she reported immediate success. Her Husky now does not venture into the nursery area.
She will now turn her attention to the St Bernard, who did not sit in on the talk, but even though he can no longer lure his friend to the soft sand, he persists in his walks in the nursery.
Jenny Stone from the Animal Healing Centre in Johannesburg, had a workshop in pouring rain on the Saturday. They too do courses designed to help people and their pets.
“Often so-called behaviour and health problems stem from emotional or psychological trauma. By working with both ESP healing and telepathic communication you can get to the root of the problem and rectify it,” Jenny says.
“I teach people to open up and use the skills they were born with. Once you master the technique of telepathic communication all it takes is perfecting the art.”
The course consists of learning how to send and receive messages, find medical problems, recover lost pets and connect with the soul of the animal in a photograph, as with pets who have passed on.
Their mission is to assist others to learn these skills in order to improve the quality of life for all animals.
The lions certainly enjoyed the silent communication through the fences of their enclosures.
Even the resident crow perched on his tree got a telepathic earful when he squawked his disdain for being left out of the circle of chat.
