Certification is about raising awareness, aka conscious-ness, about the animals. It’s about recognizing the consciousness within the animals.

Consciousness of Animals:
 Candace Pert, Ph.D., formerly of Johns Hopkins University and now with Georgetown University, determined through her research that there are emotional receptors on every cell in the body, and that includes the cells of nonhuman animals. Those receptors are activated by emotions and behavior, at which time emotional chemicals flock to the cells and bind there for the duration of the activation, or more. It has been known long before Pert’s discovery that many species of animals have an emotional brain. That scientific data reinforced the anecdotal evidence that nonhuman animals are capable of experiencing the gamut of emotions.
It is most encouraging and exciting that there are scientific studies underway focusing on consciousness of animals. These studies include the ability to choose, the use of body language pertinent to a specific situation, the many meanings of “meow” for cats, the ability to perceive from the perspective of another, the ability to develop a sense of self, and most of all, symbolic interaction for the development of shared meaning.
EARS for the Animals:
Telepathic communication is not new. More importantly, we are all capable of doing it. It is a matter of cultivating an already innate skill. Assisi presents and trains with a unique, thorough and comprehensive model of telepathic animal communication created, developed and practiced over many years by Dr. Ryan. Our EARS for the Animals© model (Empathy, Awareness
Raising and Solutions for the Animals) is more complete than the interpreter model, and more practical and grounded than the psychic reading model ordinarily practiced. By recording the entire conversation faithful to the exact way the animal and communicator state their parts, a respectful, reverent and compassionate dialogue is modeled to the human client. Dr. Ryan is uniquely qualified to teach counseling and problem solving techniques to provide practical, personal and spiritual information with solutions, amplifying the return to the human client in animal communication sessions and consultations. At present, EARS for the Animals© is the only such model in existence.
Who Should Learn? Telepathic communication is desirable and useful to those who wish to develop a deeper relationship with their own companion animals. It is particularly useful to those who work extensively with animals such as animal care providers, veterinarians, animal care technicians, animal rescue workers, animal behaviorists, dog walkers, animal sitters and nonhuman animal body-workers. This method of communication provides means to gain information needed to reach the goals of the particular service and to improve bonds.
