At the risk of sounding too new-age woo-woo mystical... has anyone ever tried to communicate with their beardies using mental visualization? I just finished reading Jon Katz's book Talking to Animals, and while I'm not sure exactly where I stand on a lot of what he writes, I am curious.
The point he makes is that animals communicate with us via mental images that we can both send and recieve... for example, this morning, Figment was glass surfing and I opened his door, but did not reach in to get him. Instead, I cleared my mind, pictured him outside the cage and walking around, then pictured him coming towards me INSIDE the cage to let me pick him up. He immediately took several steps toward me and allowed me to pick him up with no tail-flailing or leg-waving, which is not usual for him.
It's not anything scientific - even remotely - but it was an odd enough coincidence that I thought I'd ask on this forum about it. I've always been of the mind that "animal psychics" may indeed be psychic - but that they're lifting images and ideas from the human owner's mind, not from the animal's.
But I am definitely in the camp of "curious enough to give it a go." Anyone else out there given this a shot?
