I watched this again last night. It's really quite something.

An astonishing story, co-starring an astonishing human: animal communicator Anna Breytenbach.

Summary: an angry, dangerous black leopard, called Diabolo, who his experienced keeper can't do a thing with, is 'tamed' by Anna who literally counsels him telepathically.

Among much else, The leopard tells Anna that he doesn't like his 'diabolic' name. His name is changed to Spirit, and after telepathically 'talking' to Anna some more, the leopard changes his demeanor completely. His tough, bearded South African keeper can barely believe the transformation, and is brought to tears on camera.

The short video, which went viral with 6.6 million views, is an extract from this longer documentary about Anna's remarkable work:

Wow!This is taken from her website.

How Does it Work?
Energetic preparation and intentional connection with the animal happens first. Information is then received in the form of thoughts, ideas, words, images, sensations in the body, sounds in the mind, emotions, sudden knowings, etc. It is possible to have any sensory experience telepathically. Whilst the actual mechanism for this is unknown, various investigative sciences (e.g. new physics) attribute it to an aspect of the energy that animates all matter. Thoughts and emotions, too, have a very real electromagnetic energetic consequence that can be perceived. In practice, the key to receptivity lies in intention – which is as much a matter of the heart as it is of the mind. As interspecies communication is a telepathic/energetic phenomenon, it occurs regardless of the physical proximity of the conversing parties. It is a form of remote or distant communication that does not require being in each other’s presence.

Any ideas of the best way to develop this telepathy with animals/pets?

This place (or this person) offers courses, and certification:

• The Assisi International Animal Institute

And in this hour and a half presentation at Findhorn in 2013, Anna explains the entire thing, stressing that it's an ability we all have within us:

Ewan gets full credit for this video; he posted it on Bill's Mara thread a few days ago.

I was so moved by it that I felt it needed a thread of it's own. No one should miss it.

Only 13 minutes long. I had an unexpected emotional reaction to it, I have to admit!

It's about a beautiful black leopard that's relocated and having great difficulty adapting to it's new environment. A woman arrives and is tasked with talking to the animal to determine what can be done to make it more comfortable. She has a remarkable talent. Must be seen to be believed...

From Bill:
Many thanks, and this most wonderful story can't be retold too many times. But we're way ahead of you ... here's the thread that Chester started back in 2014.

Thanks Reinhard. That was lovely.

Looks like Spirit died on June 18th 2023, not too long after that visit. Cancer was the issue, which was apparently untreatable and made Spirit's life very uncomfortable. He was "put down" as they say.

He lived to 21. I'm so pleased that glorious animal is off having new adventures in some other realm, but also sad in the way we all are when someone dies. But I feel more joy than sadness.
