Facinating and Awakening!

I got this book as a gift from a friend who had Lydia do a reading on her horse. I have always been facinated with anyone who can talk to the animals and was thrilled to find a section where I could learn how to do it! I had previously purchased "how to" video tapes and was very dissappointed to find that they had no instructional value and were just testimonials about the communicator. This book was a facinating read and a great guideline! My dog and I are most grateful!

Honest and Authentic Look at Communication with Animals

I have to admit I was skeptical of animal communicators when I began reading this book, but I am now a believer! And I appreciate how Lydia Hiby so honestly tells her own story of skepticism and her process to finally accept and develop her own skills as an animal communicator, mentoring with Beatrice Lydecker, one of the preeminent animal communicators who first opened wide this concept of communicating with animals.Lydia Hiby's stories are fascinating, and she does a good job of explaining how she basically communicates with the animals. She demystifies the communication process in a lengthy chapter, a great beginning point for novices like me. She also readily admits that communicating with animals takes time and hard work. And as Lydia Hiby shared in her own story, she worked hard for many years as an animal communicator to hone her own skills.I have had the privilege of having Lydia Hiby communicate with my dogs, in particular one who had some chronic health problems. We had tried several medical suggestions, but the condition only worsened. With information relayed to us by Lydia Hiby, we were able to make some changes that improved our dog's health tremendously. As Lydia Hiby states in her book, she works with veterinarians who seek her help when they cannot figure out the problem. She also has a glowing endorsement from a veterinarian on the back of the book, further proof of her authenticity as an animal communicator.I highly recommend this book for those who love their animal companions, and are willing to open up to a whole new way of thinking about them.

Conversations With Animals by Lydia Hiby & Bonnie Weintraub

An Excellent book - A Classic! I couldn't put the book down because I found it so interesting and informative. The book was easy to read, kept my interest intensely, and I gained so much needed knowledge. Learning to be more intuitive with my pets is a blessing for both the pets and myself and we are happier together for it. Everytime another friend has a special day I purchase another copy of this book to give to he or she as a gift. I certainly am looking forward to a second book by these ladies. Since reading the book I have seen Lydia Hiby on national television several times. After I read the book I would pick it up and read parts of the book again, over and over, and, what is amazing to me is that the book actually began to feel heavy in my hands because it has so much information packed into it and it is so easy to comprehend.

Genuine, Honest, Enlightening

What a delightful book! Lydia is a gifted woman, who shares her insights about animals with great candor and simplicty. This book is a compelling read, and shows us how we can all be better in tune with our animal companions. Although I am not an animal communicator, I thank the heavens for people like Lydia who can offer me help when my own conversations with my animals are less than clear. Thank you, Lydia!

Sensational,The MUST read book for every animal lover!

I first saw Lydia giving a lecture at Equitana in 1997. Sitting in the audience with many others, I first heard of animal communicating. I have been waiting for this book since. I have 2 horses and 2 dogs and have often felt a connection that couldn't be explained. Lydia and Bonnie have the unique ability to explain and guide you through the concept of talking to animals. If you have ever wished you could help, comfort, or just talk to your best friends, this is the one book that can will assist you in that wonderful goal.
