Wow, tiger! 

How did you work with her?

[TIOTIT]

Quite sad really....She is a lovely animal...She was part of a magicians act...
I worked with as a techie....lights n stuff....She became quiet trusting of me
pats every night...played like a big kitten....but she could change instantly...
I was sad to see her go.....but glad to have met her...

[erik]

What an amazing experience you got!

[Michael]

That's a beautiful face tio - why don't you tell them about the white tigers, or is that hush hush?

Man, I am pea-green with envy!!

Tio, did (do) you do the chwoofing thing? (I know I misspelled that.)
Choof shwoof shwuff... that noise they make.

I was trying to imitate that once, while watching an educational program on tigers, and found that the cats of the house really respond to it.

[TIOTIT]

I did...and if you look them straight in the eye and imitate their
sequence and duration of blinking they get really interested and it
helps you to become familiar...but if you just stare they become aggressive
I learned a few other ways of interacting...but their unpredictable so you
always have to be on your gaurd...spending a year around tigers was interesting
to say the least.....I'll talk about the white tigers another time. Chwoof!!!Shwoof!!! Shwuff!!!

Yes, it's a challenge to them, I bet!
It's like that with housecats too. If you are in eye-to-eye with them, best to close the eyelids a lot .. you can see them closing theirs in kind .. Before you know it, the kitty will be sleeping!
But that frontal stare -- that's alarming to them.

Oh good, Tio! I'm so glad you don't mind sharing about them -- I'm dying to hear! (Nichi is a tiger, you know... but that's another story.)

Shwoof!

[TIOTIT]

So are we talking Chinese Signs or totem animals ? or things
like the unknown... unknowns

[nichi]

Totem! But the unknown too...
I'll put up a post about nichi soon...

looking directly into an animals eyes is generally a no-no. it is a hierarchy thing, a challenge. if they feel subordinate, they will lower their eyes, if not, then you are in for trouble. if they feel sudordinate and you persist, they get very uncomfortable.

i overrode this with my dog shah, and he of course came to expect unusual things from me. i used to use the eye-to-eye awakening/entrancing technique with him. he responded very well once he realised it wasn't the usual animal thing going on.

Please share? I love techniques that involve the eyes. I used to try and stare the ravens dead in the eyes and would get this feeling like the raven has it's world half in another more spirit like world. It always made me think of death.

But the most awesome experience was with a parrot like bird. Don't know what kind of parrot cept I think it was pinkish but my memory of the bird itself is thin. All I know is I looked into it's eye and I saw a luminous pink triangle spinning toward my eye and when it hit my consciousness it felt pleasant and welcoming and something else indescribable....
It was truly way different from anything I can consciously recall experiencing. Real magic.
This is one of those experiences where you wish you had had money at the time! Glad my finances are getting better I'm going to go from pet store to pet store for Christmas! 

Hope this wasn’t one of those rare gifts of spirit that is like once in a life time.

the technique has two parts,

first is the crossing of the eyes, so that both the other person/animal/bird's eyes either come closer together or move apart - both methods are effective, but i prefer the moving apart - then they superimpose. here you do a little eye trick to turn them into one sharp eye, bit like walking out of a mist. the easiest way is to practice with a mirror.

the second involves drawing the awareness out of the other - bringing it from dream into up front, daylight. don't know how to explain that one, just practice i suppose

I missed this entire thread of beauties! What a nice discovery this morning, thanks for bumping it up E.

That bird has eyes of fire.

[niamhspark]

Wow, very old soul eyes for such a young child, and intense!
