Main Theme Overview

This episode explores the intersection of intuition, animal communication, and extrasensory perception. Renowned animal communicator and clairvoyant Dita Young shares how she discovered her unique abilities, discusses her methodology for “telepathic” communication with animals, and explains how others can begin to access this skill. The conversation delves into the boundaries between science, intuition, and spirituality—covering personal stories, practical techniques, philosophical questions, and even the emotional landscape of life after death from an animal’s perspective.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Dita’s Early Sensitivities and Discovery of Ability

• Dita describes growing up in a time (1970s-80s) and culture where spirituality and intuition weren’t openly discussed.
• She was a sensitive child, uncomfortable in crowds, often “predicting things,” and wondered if she was going mad.
  • "I literally thought or felt, the animals are talking to me. Am I going schizophrenic or what?" (04:59, Dita)
• At 19, she sought to "shut down" the voices at a clairvoyance school. The teacher instead told her she would become a renowned animal communicator.

2. How Animal Telepathy Works

• Dita receives telepathic information in three primary ways:
  • Visual images (“inner eye”)
  • Emotions (clairsentience)
  • Tonal shifts in an internal “voice”
  • “The voice is the voice of energy, the transfer... I receive telepathical downloads in three ways: images... emotions... and the tone of the voice, which will sound like the tone of my own voice.” (07:35, Dita)
• The voices don’t sound like external hallucinations but as nuanced shifts in feeling and internal mental imagery.

3. Validity, Verification, and Boundaries

• Dita distinguishes between intuition and psychosis by her ability to "turn off" or "on" the telepathic channel, protecting her own mental health.
• Jonathan notes the importance of discerning between personal fantasy and genuine intuitive information.
• The validity of intuition is confirmed “only once it’s applied in the real world and people are able to act on it and test to say, is it true or not?” (10:20, Jonathan)

4. Training & Skill Building

• Dita trained in spiritual schools using exercises that prevented “cold reading” or guessing—building trust in pure intuition.
  • Envelope exercise: students visualize what’s inside a sealed envelope, with 80% reportedly correct on their first try (28:15, Dita)
• She stresses that like physical exercise, telepathic ability atrophies without regular practice.

5. Communicating with Animals and People

• Dita applies these skills not only to animals but also to her neurodivergent, partially blind and non-verbal son, Philip.
  • She initially became aware of his needs and challenges telepathically: “I communicate with him telepathically. He can say yes and no and make very short sentences. And I know that the telepathy tapes have allowed me to drop this here…” (24:55, Dita)
• Everyone can access some level of telepathic communication, particularly when grief does not cloud the channel (01:17, Dita; 58:06, Dita)

6. The Six Animal Personality Profiles

• Dita developed behavioral archetypes for animals to help owners better understand and lead their pets:
  • The Playful One (“ADHD kid on speed”)
  • The Sensitive One (“the autistic one”)
  • The Prince/Princess (attention-seeking)
  • The King/Queen (balanced, mature leader)
  • The Rigid Lazy One (defensive, depressed)
  • The Shock-Traumatized One (trauma-response) (37:22, Dita)
• Human-animal relationships work best when owners match their own emotional regulation to their pet’s needs—offering leadership and calm.

7. Telepathy: Science, Energy, and Skepticism

• Mayim, as a neuroscientist, acknowledges the challenge in categorizing these experiences—highlighting how Western culture often interprets “hearing voices” as pathology—but notes these energetic experiences feel fundamentally different from classic hallucinations (09:13, Mayim).
• The hosts debate differences between intuitive communication and scientifically measurable animal senses (e.g., a dog “knowing” about blood sugar vs. true telepathy).
  • “So we're talking at a level that is beyond the scent. …Like if a dog hears a whistle that like we can't hear, it's not like it's a magic whistle, it's like, oh, it's at a frequency that we...” (69:37, Mayim)

8. Boundaries & Self-Care for Intuitives

• Dita learned to request that animals show rather than transfer their pain to her, after years of somatically experiencing others’ ailments.
  • “After so many years as an animal communicator, it is way too hard on me and my physical system… So I've asked many years ago, the animals, can you please just show it on your body and not transfer it into me.” (48:34, Dita)
• The physical and mental toll of this work is discussed, along with the need for energetic “gatekeeping”.

9. Life, Death, and the Afterlife (for Animals and Humans)

• Dita describes contacting deceased animals and asserts that “heaven is just another frequency” rather than a distant place (01:17, Dita; 59:35, Dita)
• She shares her belief that each being has an “individual heaven,” yet we are all part of a larger collective.
• The comfort message: animals in spirit are calm, not anxious, don’t “miss” us the way we miss them (61:01, Dita)

10. Philosophical and Societal Implications

• The widespread public interest in animal communication, especially post-Telepathy Tapes, demonstrates a hunger for deeper connection and understanding beyond traditional materialist views.
• Dita sees a potential “paradigm shift” in how people approach intuitive abilities, believing this capacity can foster greater empathy and healing.
• Both Dita and Jonathan emphasize practical application: it’s not just about information but about making real change.

Memorable Quotes & Moments

• On skepticism and science:
  • “When someone says they're hearing voices in a Western culture, the first thing we would say is, you're having an auditory hallucination... But there's something very different to me when people talk at this kind of energetic level…” (09:13, Mayim)
• On learning animal communication:
  • “I need to pass these methods on to animal owners because just like parenting, by understanding them, we can provide a better life for these animals.” (00:30, Dita)
• On verifying intuition:
  • “We really only know if it’s valid once it’s applied in the real world and people are able to act on it and test to say, is it true or not?” (10:20, Jonathan)
• How animals in the afterlife interact:
  • “They are here when we are calling them, when we are not calling them. They're pretty busy with their own lives, playing with a ball, running with other friends…. In my experience we have individual heavens…” (59:35, Dita)
• On the importance of the present life:
  • “You will only have one chance of being the one person you are in this life… get the best out of it in this life because you only have one chance of being who you are.” (62:03, Dita)
• On everyday intuition:
  • “Many of us, especially... moms... we say that we have kind of a second sense… Do we all have the ability to expand this sense of intuition, to enter into a deeper knowing?” (26:37, Mayim)
• On the envelope exercise:
  • “I take an image and I put it in a… envelope and… ask them what's in the envelope. And 80% of them are correct the first time.” (28:15, Dita)

Conclusion & Takeaways

• Telepathy is a Trainable Skill: Most people can access some level of animal (and human) telepathic intuition if they’re willing to do the work. The process is both natural and developable, akin to physical exercise or meditation.
• Animals Need Leadership, Not Words: Nonverbal energetic leadership speaks louder than any amount of “talking” for animals’ wellbeing.
• Science & Intuition Aren’t Mutually Exclusive: There’s fertile ground for research and practice at the boundary of measurable animal senses, intuition, and energetic communication.
• Boundaries are Essential: For those with strong intuitive abilities, self-care and “turning off” the channel is crucial to avoid overload.
• Cherish This Life: The finite nature of individual existence is a recurring message—do your best to embrace your unique journey now.

Transcript

[Dita Young]

I literally felt the animals are talking to me. I heard a voice in my mind, and I knew, I can't make this up.

[Mayim Bialik]

Dtae Young, a renowned animal communicator, therapist, and clairvoyant. She also assists business owners in making informed decisions.

[Dita Young]

I'm gonna freak you out now.

[Mayim Bialik]

You already told me that you're talking to dead people and goldfish. There's not much more you can say that's gonna shock me.

[Dita Young]

I was standing there in front of this mare, and I asked her, so, what do you have in there? And she said, it's a boy. You have a boy, too. I ran home and I took a pregnancy test, and I was pregnant with my son. After the telepathy tapes came out, the volume of people that are interested in my work has highly increased. They are interested in understanding behavioral issues. If they have a traumatized past or they were rescue dogs and health issues, we don't have behavioral issues. We have a reaction to not being understood. I need to pass these methods on to animal owners because just like parenting, by understanding them, we can provide a better life for these animals.

[Mayim Bialik]

Can anybody talk to their dead animal?

[Dita Young]

Yes. When they're not in grief, when they are ready to let go, everyone can communicate with their own animals. The frequency is here. It's not heaven, like three miles away. Heaven is here. It's just another frequency.

[Mayim Bialik]

Hi, I'm Mayim Bialik.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I'm Jonathan Cohen.

[Mayim Bialik]

And welcome to our breakdown.

[Jonathan Cohen]

If you ever have thought that your animal can hear you, can understand what you're saying, and can communicate to you, you are not alone.

[Mayim Bialik]

That is a very hot take, and it is an accurate one, I would add. Is there a way for us to try and frame clairvoyance in any sort of scientific or logical or materialist basis? We're going to be speaking to someone who has training as a therapist and discovered at a very young age that she was tuned into some frequency of information that other people were not. Um, she now has made an entire career and life based on the. The intuitive abilities she has and the ability that she has to tap into what she says is an available, energetic field that she thinks about 80% of people can be taught to tap into. Her primary method of communication is what some would describe as telepathic. And she does have an entire intu ability based around communicating with animals, understanding their medical needs with high accuracy. And she was featured on the telepathy tapes in the second of the bonus episodes after season one. Communicating some incredible clinical medical information not only about animals, but about the people who. Who own the animals that she works with. We're going to be welcoming Dita Young, a renowned animal communicator, therapist, and clairvoyant. She works with everyone from pony riders to elite athletes on national equestrian teams. She also assists business owners in making informed decisions. She lives in Copenhagen. She's the mother of an extraordinary son. She has an incredible TED Talk. The three Tools to Success My Disabled Son Taught me, which you really should check out. She also has Animal Telepathy Mastery and masterclass for parents of Non Speaking children. Uh, before we get into that, Jonathan has a message.

[Mayim Bialik]

Break it down. D.T. young. Welcome to the Breakdown.

[Dita Young]

Thank you for having me on.

[Mayim Bialik]

Jonathan and I first learned about you from listening to the telepathy tapes. And the focus of your conversation was about animals and the ability that you have to communicate with animals to understand things that other people don't. But I wonder if you can take us back before we even get to animals. How did you know that you had extrasensory abilities?

[Dita Young]

I didn't. I didn't know that I had extra sensibilities because back in the 70s and the 80s, we never spoke openly about spirituality. I knew I was the odd one out. I knew I was super sensitive. I knew I hated being in places with a lot of people, but I couldn't explain it, and there wasn't a name for it. I just predicted so many things as a young child. And I literally thought or felt, the animals are talking to me. Am I going schizophrenic or what? And later, when I turned 19 years old, I contacted a Clairian school. We have those in Europe because we have a high standard when it comes to morality and ethics in the spiritual world. And I told her, will you please shut this down? And she said, yes, of course I can help you shut it down, but you will develop it, and you will become a very renowned animal communicator. And I asked her, animal. Excuse me, what Animal? What?

[Mayim Bialik]

So, I mean, that's an amazing summary of a variety of things that I have so many questions about many people. Let's Say are sensitive or don't like to be around a lot of people, does that mean that everyone who is sensitive in that way is tapping into something greater? Or was that just your experience?

[Dita Young]

I think everyone is tapping into something and not. Not necessarily greater, but then each other. And that's why it becomes difficult to be around many people, because I think we lack a filter somewhere, since we take in everything.

[Mayim Bialik]

And when you say you heard animals talking to you, I instantly think of Dr. Dolittle. He was the man who could talk to animals. Can you give us like a specific example? What, what was it like when you felt animals were talking to you?

[Dita Young]

I. I literally heard a voice in my mind and I knew I can't make this up. This is weird because it could be a sentence like, do you see me while I was eating? And I was like, see who, who, who's speaking to me? And then I was looking at a dog and I thought, was that the dog? Or was this, is this my imagination? And this is how it all begins? Because you think it is your own fantasy to begin with.

[Mayim Bialik]

Was it the same voice? Did every animal have a different voice? Were they speaking in Danish word. Did they have accents? Like, what is the embodied voice of an animal?

[Dita Young]

The voice is the voice of energy, the transfer. When it comes to telepathy for me is I luckily to receive telepathical downloads in three ways. The first thing is images in front of my inner eyes that could be an image when I. When I ask you and Jonathan, what is in your fridge? What is in my fridge? And you seek in volts instead of outvolts, what is in my fridge, what's in the cabinet, what's in the drawers. And you can't make a precise whole perspective on the fridge. You are literally dividing each part of the fridge up to make an entire understanding of what was in the fridge. That's the first thing. And the second thing is clear sentience, the emotions. And that is pretty crucial or very important as a telepath, do we like it or do we dislike it? And the third thing is, it's the tone of the voice, which will sound like the tone of my own voice, but it can differ between hi, I'm Dita, or hi, I'm Dider. And then it's my job as a telepath to translate. Do we have an insecurity here? Do we have reluctance? Do we have skepticism? Do we have a shyness? Or what is it? And it's my job to translate this. And it's a global language. Because it's energy, which means when I meet a lot of now American animals, they speak the energy of an emotion. And I know what this emotion is, and it's my job to translate it. Does that make sense?

[Mayim Bialik]

Well, I mean, when you ask me if it makes sense, like this is, this is hard to wrap my head around.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Makes perfect sense. Perfect, perfect sense.

[Mayim Bialik]

You're asking me to understand something that I literally don't. I don't have access to it. So I think it's really incredible that you're able to articulate it. I mean, I think everyone experiences energy, right? But most of us don't have the kind of vocabulary that, that you do, you know, to be able to make meaning out of it. When someone says they're hearing voices in a Western culture, the first thing we would say is, you're having an auditory hallucination, you know, and this is either schizophrenia or it's, there's, you know, something going on in the brain. Right. We would look for kind of the clinical assessment of why you're producing a voice. But there's something very different to me when people talk at this kind of energetic level, because I, I would say, you know, and my training is in neuroscience. This is different than an auditory hallucination. This is not the same thing. It's. I don't know what it is, but it's something.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I mean, it's like Dr. Dolittle without the voices, meaning each of the animals was personified in that. And this is. The animals are communicating in a tone that is much closer to her voice, but changes in register. What strikes me is the idea of, am I making this up or not? Right. I think every intuitive person who starts to expand their ability begins to play with this question, am I making it up or is it valid information? And if so, what do I do with that valid information? And that begins the journey of working with this in either a professional or semi professional way, where you have to learn how to validate information. What might be yours, what might be the information that you're picking up on. How do you get clear and unbiased? Especially, you know, the telepathy tapes were so amazing. The couple of examples that were given, because they were really strange, the information that you were getting and to communicate back. So you really only know if it's valid once it's applied in the real world and people are able to act on it and test to say, is it true or not? And then I'm sure that gives you a feedback of, oh, when it sounds like A certain way then I should, you know, be more aware of it versus like if you're walking down the street and every chipmunk is talking to you. Like I, that's. That doesn't seem like a reasonable way to live.

[Dita Young]

No, I. My job as a telepath is to activate telepathy and to deactivate telepathy. Otherwise I would gone have gone crazy many years ago. And a lot of people ask me, oh by the way, can you just ask me about my cat? When I'm sitting there at a party or dinner and I'm not prepared for it, I'm like, oh, I thought I was at a party. I'm a private person now. I don't work. But can I do it? Sure, of course I can. But it takes a couple of seconds to activate it. And that's a way of protecting myself, I guess, because I do this every single day.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I also think that's the biggest difference between psychosis and intuitive ability. People may have intuitive ability when they are experiencing psychosis, but they're absolutely flooded and they have no way to filter out or to work with that information. So it becomes dangerous and then it takes them over. And the importance of the idea of being able to turn it on and off and access it at your well versus it controlling you.

[Dita Young]

My privilege was because I don't have animals, it's ridiculous. I have this job. I have, I have, I don't have horses and people think I'm a rider, which I'm not. And I think the privilege I have is being non biased, never project on my clients. I'm not fighting for animal rights. I'm not the kind of person, I just want them to treat their animals the right way and try to do better.

[Mayim Bialik]

I mean of course you don't have an animal, it would talk to you all the time.

When you went to this, this person when you were, I think you said 19, what were some of the skills that you learned to be able to sort of better regulate the information that it sounds like you didn't even know how to turn off that was coming into you?

[Dita Young]

I loved the training and the exercises. During this six months of training and later, I went to a therapy school and educated myself as a certified psychotherapist. But you begin with a lot of these exercises were being blindsided, which means an envelope and a, an image of something in the envelope or literally being blindfolded and tuned into other people, which made it impossible to. In. In Europe, we called it cold read them. Like if you are nodding the head, it's like they probably said yes. And the teachers made it impossible for us to do that. We needed to trust our intuition 1000%. And that made me faster, and I hope I'm proud to say it made me a well known and renowned animal communicator and a clairvoyant on a very professional level. Because we can't guess. I can't guess when I go or assume anything because I might fail. I have to feel it when I, when I go to work.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Describe the process of starting to realize that this wasn't schizophrenia. It wasn't crazy making where you're in the early stages of the journey and you begin to realize there's something valuable and interesting here that you can, that you can have access to. What was the process or was there a moment where you're like, oh my gosh, I have something that is very unique.

[Dita Young]

I think it was when I reached the animal part. Because to begin with, the first six months was clairvoyance, mediumship, talking with spirits, deceased people on the other side.

[Mayim Bialik]

Just the basics. Talking with people on the other side.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Yeah, These are the 101 classes at Psychic Mediumship School.

[Mayim Bialik]

Just basics.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Also, can I go to this school? Mayim and I, let's go. Let's do an episode where we go to this school for six months.

[Dita Young]

Just literally the basic things we needed to have as a clairvoyant here where I live. And then we didn't have animal communication in Europe. I was pretty much alone and I needed to figure out what is this? So I took in literally everything. Birds, cats, goldfish, dogs, horses. I was just curious, what is animal communication? What is telepathy? Almost 30 years ago. And I saw, oh my freaking God, this is super easy. Is that it? Is that it? I need to pass this on. I need to pass these methods on to animal owners. Because just like parenting, that the animal owners assume my dog have a behavioral issue.

[Jonathan Cohen]

It's always the parent.

[Dita Young]

Exactly. And when I saw that by understanding them on a higher level or just even better, we can provide a better life for these animals and children by removing the subject behavioral issues. Because we don't have behavioral issues, we have a reaction to not being understood.

[Mayim Bialik]

You were blessed with a very special child. When in your journey did you become a mother? And in which ways did your abilities benefit you as a parent?

[Dita Young]

I'm gonna freak you out now, so please stay open here.

[Mayim Bialik]

You already told me that you're talking to dead people and goldfish. There's not much more you can say that's gonna shock me.

[Dita Young]

Let's go then. When I was on the path with. As a newbie with animal communication, I loved horses because it's so complicated, because that's the only animals we're sitting on. I visited a stable, and this owner wanted me to help a mare, a she horse. And he wanted to know the gender of what she was pregnant with, because the stallion is worth a lot more money than if it was a mare. And I remember I was standing there in front of this mayor, and I asked her, so what do you have in there? And she said, Said, quote, it's a boy, and you have a boy, too. And I was freaked out. I was. I'm sorry. Excuse me. Because I wasn't planning on getting pregnant, and I ran home and I took a pregnancy test, and I was pregnant with my son Philip.

[Mayim Bialik]

Had you had sex with anyone? Or was it an immaculate conception? Because that would be. That would be. We could start a religion

[Dita Young]

that would stop. That would stop the story. No, no, no. I did have sex to get my son in there. And being a mother to a neurodivergent child. I came from the TV industry, and we work all hours during a day, And I knew I can never go back because Philip, my son, won't allow me doing so. And I was already clairvoyant and an animal communicator. And I thought, well, beep this. I'm gonna do this, you know, full time, because then I can balance my private life and my professional life.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Was it at all weird to you that the animal knew you were pregnant before you did?

[Dita Young]

It was super weird. And I'm still. After 30 years of practice, I'm still amazed, and I'm still stunned. And I'm still surprised when. When animals tell me stuff.

[Mayim Bialik]

So can you tell us a little bit more about Philip and how having such a special child allowed you to, I guess, you know, access a different aspect of your abilities in a very personal way?

[Dita Young]

When I was pregnant with Philip, I knew something was off. I just. I could sense something was off, but no one believed me because I was this hysterical first time mom and I when I gave birth to him, and it was super traumatic. I felt. It is off. It is off. It is off. I never had eye contact with him. I sensed he was in there, and yet I couldn't communicate with him. No reaction at all. And then I asked the nurse that came, that did house calls, can you please take me seriously? Now he's three months old, and I. I don't have eye contact with my own son. And she. She didn't believe me. And then I'm the type of mom that just, you know, was being stubborn. And I told her, you're fired. I need another nurse. And in came the other nurse and said, I think we have a huge problem here. And we got hospitalized. And the neurologist and the doctors were just entering this hospital room, and they said, you have a completely blind son. And I was speechless. I was. I'm sorry, what did you say? What, do we need a dog? Or should he read Brailles? Or what is the future? And this was the first. And this is my only son. And I think most parents fear. I do hope that my child is sound and safe and a healthy child. Even though we have neurodivergency. Thank God for that. We wish for a normal, functioning kid. And this was the first thing. Well, he's blind. And they said he'll never be able to see because we can't fix nerves because we have malfunctioning optical nerves with him. And I never believed them. So I kept training his nerves, and now he has a vision, partial vision. And then they tell. Told us that he has a minor brain damage. And later we were told that he's autistic as well. So he has a lot to. To. I don't know if it's a fight for him, because I think Philip only knows the world as being Philip. But we have an entire system around us that requires a lot of resources to. To help him in the society as it is right now.

[Mayim Bialik]

Is Philip verbal or do you communicate with him telepathically?

[Dita Young]

I communicate with him telepathically. He can say yes and no and make very short sentences. And I know that the telepathy tapes have allowed me to drop this here on this podcast, but he's actually in the telepathy tapes the next time, season two, and drops October 15th. And he was very. He was very courageous to sit there in front of the producer with a mic and needed to speak in front of her in English because we have to remember he was never taught English. He taught himself English.

[Mayim Bialik]

What is it like to communicate with your child telepathically? How does it work?

[Dita Young]

Actually, the same way as any other child I'm helping or an animal. But it's difficult for me because I'm so emotional when it comes to my son. I am biased and I can hear a sound like the tone in my voice yelling, mom, please come and help me. And I have to trust this one when I hear it because it doesn't happen a lot. And when I enter his room, he needs help. Or he can tell me stuff in school, I need help. And then I'm going to call the school, what is going on with Philip? And they can tell me, the teachers, oh, he just had an accident, or he's a little bit upset right now.

[Jonathan Cohen]

What does the school think when you call them? Are they used to this now? They just know that you have the red phone in the president's office directly to you?

[Dita Young]

I don't know. They know that I'm a telepath. They might do that because we are here in Denmark and I do have a name here now, but I never speak open about I'm a telepath. So I. I'm right here. I'm just a regular mom in the system.

[Mayim Bialik]

Many of us, especially, you know, moms, and especially, you know, when our kids are young in particular, you know, we say that we have kind of a second sense, you know, that sometimes we. We know when something's off. Or like you said, sometimes you'll feel like I need to check on the baby. You know, things like that. Do we all have the ability to expand this sense of intuition, to enter into a deeper knowing, or is this something you think that's reserved just for some people?

[Dita Young]

I know that it's for everyone. I know that everyone can learn telepathy because I'm teaching people all over the world about the telepathical methods and it takes about three minutes. Becoming a professional and becoming a very skilled telepath requires that you have a lot of knowledge when it comes to how to handle these informations. What about health issues? When we are passing it on to the veterinarians or the doctors, but we can get all sorts of information, and that is the difficult part. But I do believe that everyone can have access to a part of a brain, but we need to train it. And because I am exercising every single day, and I've done that for 30 years, of course my brain is strong, fast, fit, and if I wouldn't practice telepathy for a year, I needed to start. Not all over, but I needed to. To up my game a little bit.

[Mayim Bialik]

I want to know what you can teach people in three minutes.

[Dita Young]

The envelope exercise. That's a good, that's a good start. That's what I passed on from my, my school to my students, because I think it's genius. I. I take a. An image and I put it in a. An envelope and I blindside them or, you know, them, and I asked them what's in the envelope. And every single student of mine is like, what? I can't, you know, I don't know how to do it. And then I asked them to do a visualization practice. They need to be very in tune. They need to be very in tune with themselves, all their five and six senses, to activate the seventh one. And then they open their mouth and they're telling me what's in the envelope. And 80% of them are correct the first time.

[Mayim Bialik]

That's unbelievable. And I think this is the thing that when people hear about telepathy, they're like, oh, it's just like something floating and you just grab it from the air. There's actually a practice that you're talking about, and we've spoken to many different kinds of mediums and channelers, and everyone is describing this place that you drop into. Right. It's like dropping into the heart instead of the head. There's some sort of feeling place that I don't know that I've ever been, where this information is then more accessible. And people who do remote viewing, people who are paid by the US Government and many other governments to do this, they're taught this skill, this kind of dropping in. It's also the place that meditation happens and that many people would argue healing of the body happens and healing of the spirit. That in that if you can get into that place, all of this stuff opens up.

[Dita Young]

And of course, every single person on the planet have access to that place. But we need to quiet the mind and we need to know ourselves because it's super important to stop the projection. For as an example, you heard the telepathy tapes episode with me. Yeah. So you listen to me helping a dog called Tucker, he shows me a park. He shows. That's the images. And it's my job as the translator to feel, do we like the park or do we dislike the park? And then Tucker said, take me to a park, because I used to be there. Every single detail of this is based from one image of a park. But. But emotions. I miss the park. I would love to go back to the park, which made me translate. He says, take me to a park. He would love to go to a park. I can see children. It is not your children, because I felt they weren't familiar to me as the translator. Does this make sense?

[Mayim Bialik]

It makes sense, and it's unbelievable. I mean, we're in a different plane of, like, we're in a part of my brain that I don't usually use. But, yes, this makes sense.

[Jonathan Cohen]

And I think that's the point, right, Is everyone has access to this, but because we don't use it on a regular basis, people's telepathic ability and ability to read this information has atrophied 100. So when you talk about the fact that you would have to, you know, get your strength back if you didn't do it for a year, this is a muscle that we're not using. It's a skill set that we're not using. And by slowly starting to use it again, we can have access to it. If people haven't heard the Tucker example, it was so powerful because it's a dog who gets adopted. He has gone through a series of adoptions. He was misplaced. He had an owner who passed away. He went into a shelter, and in his new environment, he's not acclimating in a way that the family can really understand. He's standoffish. And the. It's so emotional when you go and communicate with him because he's unsure if that's his forever home or not. And in the episode, they're actually contemplating whether or not he should stay because he hasn't really acclimated, and he has all this standoff behavior. So it's really, really emotional. And what's kind of both shocking and touching is that there are all these memes now on and videos on the Internet of since the telepathy tapes. This is how people speak to their dogs. They explained to them that they're gonna be home in a certain amount of time. And I've started to do it too, with Archie. I tell him Archie was a rescue, and he had. He was given up at five months after a couple was gonna get a divorce. And he then went to a foster family and when we met him, it was like he had been waiting for us and yet still he had very high anxiety about following us around. He would leave his food to make sure that he knew where we were. He had a lot of separation anxiety and so we began to talk to him. You're here forever. This is your forever home. We're always coming back to you. We love you. And it started to shift how attached he was. He was always very attached, but it started to shift his anxiety and we also started telling him so. He would come in the car with us and we'd be like, okay, we're going to the store. They don't allow dogs in the store. We're going to be back and it's going to take about an hour. And Mime would get upset with me. She's like, it's going to take more than an hour. You got to tell him. You got to make sure he knows. You don't want to mislead him because he's not going to trust us. This is this episode is sponsored by Wandering Jews, an open door media brand.

[Mayim Bialik]

Average savings $141. Select homes only. This is a good example. And Dieta, I wonder if you can, you know, sort of elaborate on some of this. How much of us communicating with animals, right, is what we need and how much is what they need? Because what I see is that Jonathan is a very anxious parent. And Jonathan, Jonathan seems to be very anxious when he is away from the animal. And I'm wondering, you know, how much of it is. And I'm not just asking you to read Jonathan, although I literally will send you all the money I have for you to read this man. But you know, I'm wondering how much of this has to do with us intuiting into the animal and how much of it is. There's this kind of elaborate interplay, meaning are you essentially doing therapy for people when you're communicating with animals as well?

[Dita Young]

That's the best question ever, Miami, because that's so true. I think it's interesting to see this massive reaction people have worldwide after this episode on animal communication. And Kai Dickens just visited me here in Copenhagen, Denmark and she said the episode where I participated is going super viral and they have, you know, loads of email requests how can I get in touch with Diddy Young? And I feel that as well in my inbox. And I. And she said why is that happening? Why is it easier with the animals? And I said because it's animals, it's the cutest puppy. It's not that dangerous as neurodivergency or non speakers because people are respectful of it and a little bit afraid I guess. But to shorten the question or the answer, when I as the teacher had to pass on my methods, I needed to create a system. And maybe this will become helpful, maybe it will not. But I saw a pattern in animals behavioral systems and I created six personality profiles just as we have when it comes to leadership as an other company in other companies.

[Mayim Bialik]

What are the six personality types of pets?

[Dita Young]

Here it goes. These are called the playful one, the sensitive one, the prince or princess, the king or queen, the rigid lazy one or the shock traumatized one. And please do remember your animal can be several of these.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Archie is the first four.

[Dita Young]

I doubt that he would be the prince and the king.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Oh no, he's just the prince.

[Dita Young]

And each and those personality profiles come with a behavior like human beings. The playful one is the ADHD ADD kid on Speed. The sensitive one is the. I'm sorry, autistic one. The more sensitive, hypersensitive one needs boundaries, needs structure in the everyday life. The prince is the dominant one. Pick me. Pick me. See me, see me all the time. The king is the old balance dog that will allow other puppies to climb all over. This dog, the rigid one is. Is depressed and is shut down. It's a defense mechanism. And the shock traumatized. Of course, it wasn't born that way. It's a defense mechanism as well. Then we have those six profiles. When I combine them with their human beings, they have profiles too. And now comes the interesting part. Now comes couple therapy. Because as. I'm sorry, Jonathan, here to mention what I know, if you are nervous, anxious as well, you will, I'm sorry, increase the problem. Instead of. I would ask you, if you were my client, will you please step up and become the king? Please. If you do have a sensitive dog with a shock trauma, you can't both have a shock trauma here. Because what do animal need? A leader. They need safety. That's the only thing they need. And when you ask me, Mayim, do we talk a lot to the animals? Do they actually need all this communication? No, they don't. We as human beings verbalize ourselves all the time. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Can't you please just beep up? Because the animals feel, they feel the leader in the pack. They feel the sensitive one. They even feel if you have guests coming over who's nervous, who's stressed out, they don't need us to vocabularize this.

[Mayim Bialik]

I mean, I'm thinking right now, so I'm a cat person, and we have this dog that has entered our life in the last year or so, less than a year. And I'm wondering if these personality types and all of these things hold for cats and dogs. Because, you know, when I think of cats, they're. They're very independent. You know, they. They clean themselves, which I think is like the greatest thing in the world. Like, you have an animal that literally prides itself on cleaning its tush. And, you know, when we have guests over, we have one cat that's very social, very friendly, and the other just kind of like hides until, you know, everything is. Because he's very anxious, right? But when I think of dogs, like, dogs are so much more interested and engaged in the human world in a way that I was frankly not prepared for. This is its own episode is like what happens when a cat person has to be a dog person. So do These things hold for cats, dogs, horses, and fish and birds. Is this something specific just to dogs? Because they're so, you know, geared towards basically being bred, you know, to be a loyal companion. Like, also, how do you hold all of these different animals in your head?

[Dita Young]

I never asked a goldfish. What kind of hierarchy do you have? Are you. Are you the goldie king here?

[Mayim Bialik]

Are you the real deal? Why do you not not ask the goldfish where they are in the hierarchy?

[Dita Young]

Stupid of me, but I do know they would probably forget after one round in the fishbowl. They're like, what? Sorry, what? But those. Those animals who have my interest are cats, dogs, horses in general. Because for me, when I started many years ago, I needed some sort of evidence for what I said. And the only way I could show that would be a behavioral change change. And you can see that with someone, a cat from time to time. If it's running away from the home, can you get it to come back or not? That could be a proof, but definitely with dogs and horses and wildlife, animals have my interest as well. But how can I prove it? I can't. It can just be a nice story I told people, right? And it. The similarity of the. Of the personality profiles, regardless of the races or the genders or are the same. Basically the same. You could find a sensitive princess as a cat. You could find a playful king as a cat.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I mean, the first dog that I started to communicate with was an elderly dog who had been the family pet for a very long time, a little miniature collie. I was starting to learn how to do distant energy healing. And I was trying to see if it would work. I was still in that phase where I'm like, this is cool, but, like, how real is it? How much am I making up? How much am I not? The dog was probably like 13, 14 at the time. She had started to get arthritis, really slowing down. And she had a habit of sleeping in the hallway right against the wall with her feet up in the air against the wall. And I would sit in a room just like, attached to the hallway. Like, the door was to the hallway. And so I could kind of peek in, but I would sit behind a wall so, like, she couldn't see me. I couldn't see her unless I stuck my head around the corner. And I would connect to her and start to send her energy. And as soon as I would do that, she would start to shake and twitch. And I started to, like, be fascinated by that. And the more I did that and the more I sort of began to feel what it was like to be that old a dog. And I would like, feel the arthritis and I would feel her joints. And then she started to communicate telepathically with me because that channel had begun to open. And she would start to tell me what she needed, tell me when she was not able to go downstairs. She used to go like, my room was in the basement. And she would tell me, no, my legs are too sore. I can't go downstairs today. She would tell me that she wanted different food when she stopped eating. She didn't know that I could communicate with her, and I didn't know that she could communicate until we sort of built the language together.

[Dita Young]

Wow. So you are an animal communicator.

[Mayim Bialik]

I mean, this feels a little bit like Jonathan coming out of the spiritual closet because I've heard him talk about energy and animals, but I don't know that I had ever heard him talk about it in a telepathic sense. Dita, I wonder if you can kind of share with us a little bit, kind of a little of this framework, you know, being part of the telepathy tapes and kind of entering, you know, a different aspect of notoriety. What have you learned about what people want to know from animals and just from these other senses?

[Dita Young]

Well, I think it's the same thing people are interested in as they have been for the last 30 years. I've done this, to be. To be honest. But the volume of people that are interested in my work has highly increased after the telepathy tapes came out. They are interested in understanding behavioral issues, and that is often separation anxiety, outbursts or reaction in the meeting with other animals, such as another dog, Their pasts, if they have a traumatized past or they were rescue dogs and health issues. And it's always difficult for me. And even though I do know I have this weird sort of telepathical X ray vision on health issues, so I can actually be pretty accurate. But I do have very much respect for not being the veterinarian, not not stepping over these boundaries and pass them on to. To the more academical world when I work. And I think it's a huge. Not pressure, but it's a. A big responsibility that many of those clients are trying to push or bring me as a telepath. Because even though I'm a therapist, even though I'm very experienced, there are so many people out there saying, I'm a telepath, I'm an animal communicator, and have no idea how important it is. What kind of Informations they are passing on to a vulnerable animal owner, to be honest.

[Mayim Bialik]

Can you give an example of what level of specificity you've had that's been accurate? Because I think for a lot of us it's like, okay, but what's the proof? Because, for example, and no insult to the horse story, you have a 50% chance of being right if a animal's a boy or a girl, right? So someone's bringing you in, and that's a 50% chance. But in the telepathy tapes, you talked about a very specific, you know, medical condition. Can you give us another example of something that even you were kind of shocked that this was accurate about?

[Dita Young]

I have an example from today because I just held one of the clients from America. My client said, my dog passed, just recently passed. Can you tell me why it passed? That's an open question. I don't have a 50, 50% chance here. And I chewed in on the picture and I said, are you sure, Are you absolutely sure you want this information? And she said yes, because she was, was devastated. And I told her, I do believe that 48 hours prior to the past, it passed away. It got maybe a vaccine or something that was toxicating for it. And then it ran into organ failure. So the first thing that happened was an increased or a very high blood pressure and it had a minor heart problem that led into something bursted and it drowned in its own blood. And she literally bawled her eyes out and said, that's correct. That's what happened.

[Mayim Bialik]

What were you feeling? I want you to take us through. Pretend like I have no idea, right, what this is like for you. Explain to me what it was like to feel into this animal's field, right, or communicate with an animal that is deceased. What did it feel like? What were the symbols? And I'm asking because I think, like people don't understand what it's like for you to get that information. What are you seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling? What gives you that level of specific information about how that animal died?

[Dita Young]

I saw everything. I saw it. I don't want to feel it anymore. I don't want it transferred in, inside of myself. Because after so many years as an animal communicator, it is way too hard on me and my physical system and my health to keep receiving all these illnesses all the time, because I take it in and I get sick from it. So I've asked many years ago, the animals, can you please just show it on your body and not transfer it into me, but as a new one As a newbie translator or telepath, they want the transportation of the illnesses and the pains to their own body to have some sort of an evident experience. Whoa. I suddenly got experienced pain on my left shoulder and nothing is wrong. Or I suddenly felt a headache. So for this specific dog, I kept seeing this images or movie in front of my eyes. Like it wasn't afraid. I can tell there was all this commotion in the vet clinic and they're super afraid. They knew that she was going to die. They knew it because I could tell it was like watching a movie. And I saw. But she was pretty calm because she knew, this is the end of it, I'm not going to survive. And I saw the blood and I saw the drowning situation and I saw the heart pumping like really fast. I never felt anxious, I never felt scared. I just literally opened my mouth and said, because I asked her, are you absolutely sure you can handle the truth? And she said, yes. And then I just told the truth. And that's what I love about my job and what I hate about my job, because this wasn't a funny job at all. This wasn't satisfying in any way to pass on so violent, vulnerable, massive images to a dog parent that are in grief here. And other times when we can rescue them or we can save them, when I get information such as I know that we can save them if they get this and this and this. Of course, it's a success story, very, very powerful.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I mean, the example on the telepathy tapes about the horse that ends up winning a silver medal is, is fantastic because it's an uplifting story. And what's strikes me is that this horse was, for people who haven't heard, it was getting nauseous in the trailer because it couldn't balance itself. And what it needed was the driver to communicate with the curves of the road so that it could balance itself. And in all the other outings and trips, it would get nauseous, it would get dehydrated because it wouldn't drink. And then it wasn't able to perform. And once the driver was able to tell it, okay, we're turning, the road is gonna curve left, brace yourself, the road is gonna curve right. And they did it over a 16 hour trip. The horse gets out, feels great, is hydrated, is able to eat, and then goes and wins a silver medal. And you're like, if only that. Like, think about all the time that that person struggled with that horse being sick. And I think the same is true with humans, right? Do you do human health communication as well. Because so many people are in a state where, oh, it's this thing they're eating or they're, they're exposed to mold and they don't know it, or there's some other health issue happening that is sort of outside the purview of something that is obvious and yet it could have such a huge impact.

[Dita Young]

Yeah, because I am a clairvoyant and I'm a therapist as well. I think just personally that it's a nice combination to, to combine the clairvoyant field. And if my clients can figure out the answers, I tune in on the answers and I ask them, does this make sense? Makes sense to you. Oh yeah, it makes sense to you. And then we can go back to therapy. And I'm helping a lot of non speaking children as well. And it's such an amazing, it's beautiful work. And for me it makes sense. It make everything made sense. Because if you have to remember, I don't have animals. Being an animal communicator is like what I would rather go back to the TV industry rather than going to the stables every week. But after becoming the mother of Philip and watching him grow up and grow up in a society that is not prepared for this neurodivergent increased number of children we have, makes my mission important. Because even though I speak, animal communication and telepathy. Telepathy is for everyone and I do hope that they don't. This can change the future. Maybe a naive thing, but I do believe that we are standing in front of a huge paradigm shift.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I fully agree with you. I think we are at a state where more and more people are realizing that there is more to their lives than what they've been told. That we're simply not just a collection of parts and that the material world is very important, but not all there is. And that we can have richer lives, more connected lives, more interpersonal lives, find deeper relationships and have more meaningful connection and find even our purpose through increasing our felt sense of the world and navigating in that way. So I agree with you. I think we are at a point where the world is changing and more and more people are utilizing that atrophied part of their brain to get extra sensory information.

[Mayim Bialik]

It's interesting, Jonathan, that you brought up the human part because, you know, many people love animals because they are less complicated than humans. And you know, it can be very gratifying, you know, to be a pet parent and to have pets in your life that way. But I think what's also interesting is when you talk about, you know, kind of being able to read into animals. I so wish that we could read into humans the same way. Meaning so many people try so many different modalities to get better, to heal. You know, they go to therapists or you try medication or you try this diet or maybe if I'm skinnier or you know, like whatever we use to kind of, of, you know, fill that. And I wonder, do you still work with humans as well? And do you do kind of readings that way? And are the answers often, as I don't want to say simple, but as clear as they are with animals, I

[Dita Young]

must admit that I have a break now that is pretty high. And the reason for having that is not only because of the success, success as an animal communicator or clairvoyant. It is because of, of the group of people I enjoy working with. And the group of people I would like to work with are the one that take it seriously and will change things because a lot of people out there will try this and this and this and this for 30 bucks and, and it's desperate and it's never going to work if you're not going to meet the right person or a professional person saying you're not welcome in my clinic, if you're not going to change anything, you know, so just stop, keep posting money or throwing money at different source of practitioners because it's not going to work. And I do hope that, and that's what I observe here in Europe, that a lot of my colleagues and practitioners are working on that level. It's not about earning the money, of course it's a job. It's about can we, we move and develop people or not and are they ready for it? Because of course it varies from people to people. And the easy. I don't think it's ever going to be easy working with human beings because we makes, we make life so complicated. A lot of people know, oh, I'm doing this. I have this reaction. I have this behavioral system or pattern because of my past and my childhood. Well, good for you. But what are you going to do about it in real life? That's, that's the next level and that's. There are not as many people that are aware of how to change it as there is people that can identify where it started.

[Jonathan Cohen]

A lot of people are addicted to information and insight. They get the, like the rush, they like the, oh, I found this pattern. But very few or much fewer are interested in, in taking that information and making practical change. And I hear what you're saying, when the rate is high, there's an investment. You know, it's like a, it's a little bit double edged, right on one hand. We want this information to be accessible, practical for everyone who wants to change. And the same regard, you have to protect your time and you have to make it so that the people have an investment and it's makes it a little bit hard for them so that their stakes are great and that they want to make the change that is possible.

[Mayim Bialik]

Can anybody talk to their dead animal?

[Dita Young]

Yes. When they're not in a projecting mode, when they're not in grief, when they are ready to let go. Because to begin with a lot of animal owners are devastated, of course, because they're often they are, they are more upset about losing their animals than there is losing their partners. It's like truly devastating for them, losing their animals because they only consist of out of pure love. But when they're ready to hear it, everyone can communicate with their own animals. As an example, the client today with the deceased dog couldn't sense or pick up on the signals from her dog because I told her, it is right here. Come on, the frequency is here. It's not heaven, like three miles away. Heaven is here. It's just another frequency. And she said, I don't feel it, I don't sense it, I don't see it. That's honest. And I felt you can't see anything because you can't feel anything. You're not even connected to yourself right now because you are that traumatized.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Do dead animals not have something else to do in the afterlife? They're just always available to communicate. Like at a certain point do they like say, okay, my spirit is going off to some other realm of the galaxy. It's been nice. I'll communicate with you through like telegram, but it's going to take me a little bit. How is it that all the animals are always right here to communicate forever?

[Dita Young]

They are here when we are calling them, when we are not calling them. They're pretty busy with their own lives, playing with a ball, running with other friends. And I do believe I don't hold the entire truth here, but in my experience we have individual heavens, which means when you're gonna pass Jonathan, you'll be in your heaven. I'm gonna be in my heaven, Mayim, you're gonna be in your heaven. But we are part of a collective, we're part of the same heaven. Another picture could be if we are entering Heaven, Quote heaven. It's one school, but each and every single one of us have our own individual classrooms. But we are part of something bigger or greater. My brain can't even comprehend how big it is. And they are busy over there. It's not that we're gonna die. We're gonna sit there and watch TV for the rest of nothing. Because we don't have a timeline over there. We have development over there. We have tasks. We have to develop and progress over there as well. So we are ready to get back. And when somebody's calling us, I will be looking at a face, and I would know, oh, my God, somebody needs my help. Like when Philip, my son, calls for me in. In his room, I would be okay, I need to take care of this. And then I will enter planet Earth and answer the questions they might have and go back to my busy life in heaven.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Do you think they miss us in their busy lives, like we're always calling them? Do they call us?

[Dita Young]

No. Big. I think there's such a mis. Misconception of death here on this planet. We have so much anxiety, so much fear of missing out. So we are so focused on abandonment themes. They don't. Over there, they are at ease. They are balanced. When we meditate, we feel love, we feel tranquility, we feel balanced. We don't feel anything else besides from that. So what should we hurry up for? Nothing. That's what heaven must be like. Maybe that's why we call it heaven, because it feels heavenly.

[Jonathan Cohen]

What would you like people to sort of take away if you could impart, you know, a message to humanity? What do you want people to know about this life, about the possibilities here, about what they might be going through?

[Dita Young]

That's a huge question. I would. I would ask people to consider that even though we might come back and we might reincarnate as other people, you will only have one chance of being the one person you are in this life. Which means your family members, your mom, your dad, your sisters, your friends, can only be your mom and dad and friends in this life. And even though we have soul mates and we will meet on the other side, your dad is not necessarily be your dad in the next life. He might be your brother or your boyfriend, which means get the best out of it in this life because you only have one chance of being who you are.

[Mayim Bialik]

Yeah. Is there some energetic plane that we exist on that some people have the skill to tap into so that information is available to them in different ways? And, yeah, I just have so many other Questions that I don't think any of us can answer. You know, why you and not someone else? Or why does someone else have a different ability? Or why does Philip have the abilities he does? You know, we're all kind of, we all have like a little piece of this gigantic, you know, puzzle.

[Dita Young]

We do. And, and I don't, I don't think that we as human beings have a brain that can comprehend that knowledge. Mayim to be honest, because the puzzle is that big and it goes, it continues on the other side and on other frequencies. Taken as an, an example on the telepathy tapes, people are very curious about the quote the hill. It's a place where autistic children can meet, share hobbies, share emotions, share knowledge. And people are trying to enter the hill. And I, I was sitting there listening to people that said, oh, I want to enter the hill. I was rejected or I was accepted and I'm special. And I thought, what are you doing in there? You know, why can't we on planet Earth use planet Earth where we have access with wi fi phones, zoom calls, etc. To share knowledge? We don't need another frequency. We have it. We already have it. It's accessible.

[Mayim Bialik]

Where can people find out more about you? Tell us where people should go.

[Dita Young]

I would recommend them to Google my name, Didi Young. I am on every single social media platforms out there. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and my website is ddyoung.com.

[Mayim Bialik]

thank you so much. This was really incredible. Thank you.

[Dita Young]

Thank you for having me.

[Mayim Bialik]

One of the things that I find so, you know, incredible about Dita is, you know, just when I think someone's gonna be like, way too out there and like, it's gonna be cuckoo pants insanity. It's not like I'm like, oh, I believe all this like out there bananas thing. But like, what she's talking about has it, it does have some sort of grounding when you frame it the way people are taught to do remote viewing. When we spoke to Angela Ford and she was like, oh, no, the government takes people who've never done this and don't know what it is, and they teach them to intuit what's in an envelope. What?

[Jonathan Cohen]

When we spoke to Julia Mossbridge, that she's showing that it's statistically significant more than chance that people are getting this information that they couldn't otherwise know and that she's running real research behind it.

[Mayim Bialik]

I don't know that I believe that, like, everybody can do it because I know people who are like, I'm never going to meditate. I don't want to think about myself. I don't want to talk about feelings. Those people don't want to have a part of this. And then there's the people on the other side who are like, I'm totally into this. I want to learn it. If we look at it as kind of like just another skill, it's another skill that can be learned. But I think it's really important what she said. You don't do this on the first try. Right. It's kind of like, you know, also when people are like, I tried meditating and I tried it once and it didn't work. That's not how it works. That's like saying, I tried to lift a 25lb weight and I tried, couldn't, therefore I never will. It's literally, there's a set of it. You know, it's. It's like mental musculature. There's a set of practice of dropping in. You know, I thought of Suzanne Giesman, like, we talked about it, Martha Beck talked about there's a way to learn to drop into this place. That's where I kind of question, like, anybody can get there. I. I don't know. Like, my brain doesn't like meditating without a lot of effort. There are some people who just like, can drop in. Those are the people who can talk to a bird.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I don't know if I fully agree with you that, because I think as you get feedback, that information you get may have some accuracy. You're developing that muscle. And unlike meditation, where there is really no end result, the successes in doing it, this has a little bit of a different form to it. And we begin to hear those messages and begin to distinguish between what is our internal dialogue and what might be an external message. Well, she says 80% of people have the ability to do it.

[Mayim Bialik]

That's a lot of people.

[Jonathan Cohen]

That's a lot of people. So I think you're right that some people are just either, for whatever reason, either interest or constitutional makeup may not be suited for it or may not be their thing. But I think a lot of people can. The thing I didn't get to ask her that I wanted to, which I think is a really interesting topic in general, is how animals sense us. So the idea that that horse knew that she was pregnant or in the telepathy tapes, that another horse knew that the rider had arthritis, and this was a teenage rider and there was no evidence of the arthritis. So the horse knew before the rider knew and then went to a doctor and the doctor proved and confirmed that in fact they did have arthritis. That's really interesting to me. So I'm wondering about animals as understanding. Like have you seen the videos of the animals who know when someone is about to have a stroke where they're or their blood sugar drops and they can smell the blood sugar and then they go and they inform the parent or they bring them a juice.

[Mayim Bialik]

Yeah. So. So this is where we have to be really careful. And this is where some of my constructive criticism of certain aspects of the telepathy tapes comes in. Because if you say something like, and I know you're not saying this, but if one were to say the dog just knew and that I was going to have a stroke, that's what people like 600 years ago would say. 600 years ago people would be like, the dog knew. And then they'd be like, we're going to burn you at the, the steak. And you'd be like, no, I'm not a witch. It'd be like, yes, you are. So what we know is that there are certain things that we can understand and measure. So yes, in, in this case, and I don't know the specifics, I have not done this research, you know, if a dog is picking up on, let's say, something pheromonal, something that is detectable to the dog but not us, that's a different story. But what we're also talking about is is there a level of intuition communication that may go both ways, that is on a plane that we cannot yet measure. Right. Many people who've had a near death experience have been like, oh, one day you'll be able to measure this shit. But I'm telling you it's true. So that would be, I think, what's the. Like, just like there are wavelengths we can't see, there are frequencies that we can't hear. Right. Like if a dog hears a whistle that like we can't hear, it's not like it's a magic whistle, it's like, oh, it's at a frequency that we. So the same thing. There's a vibration, there's something energetic that Dita can tap into and I cannot.

[Jonathan Cohen]

So I don't know about the pregnancy thing. How the horse knows that someone is

[Mayim Bialik]

pregnant, we don't know.

[Jonathan Cohen]

But there are many, many cases where dogs have been trained to identify when someone's blood sugar is at a dangerous level. And that's really testable because the dog indicates that the blood sugar is at a dangerous level, then you can test it with a device and see how accurate the dog is.

[Mayim Bialik]

Okay, but that's still not telepathy. As Valerie tells us. There could be chemical changes in breath, saliva and sweat that happen when blood sugar levels shift. I don't believe that the dog is like, I'm tuned into diabetes.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I'm not saying it's telepathy, but the fact that the dog has a nose that's able to track that while it's doing its other things and is aware of the human, like, that's just a powerful interrelated dynamic that, you know, I think we should just be aware of.

[Mayim Bialik]

I beg to differ. To me, that's like dogs can smell shit that we can't.

[Jonathan Cohen]

What about dogs that can sense when a seizure is about to happen, before a seizure is about to happen?

[Mayim Bialik]

There are also things that are detectable that the dog is picking up on that are based on, I think, scent in particular. So, you know, like a dog's nose is like insane. So that's. That's scent. So we're talking at a level that is beyond the scent. So is it that the horse could, I mean, smell, Right? I don't know. The horse could smell a different hormonal profile on her, A different, you know, like. Sure, I'd be very interested if it's like a horse smell thing. You know, it is still very hard for me, again, Sam Harris on my shoulder. It's still very hard for me to be like, that horse can see into that woman's womb and knew that there is a gestating human.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I don't think. See, I think potentially if it's not smell, it could sense.

[Mayim Bialik]

But what, what is this? Is it a sixth sense? Maybe it's a seventh sense. As Dieta said, we can talk about

[Jonathan Cohen]

telepathy and extrasensory ability and have fun at the same time. That's the eighth sense.

[Mayim Bialik]

I think you were trying to get her to do a reading of Archie. You kept dropping information.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Look, there is a picture of Archie when we were building the studio, who climbed up into my chair and he's so cute. He's like talking into the mic and sniffing the mic. This was his interview. If any of the guests could have been his interview, this could have been it. He's been waiting for his chance. He is the third co host of this show.

[Mayim Bialik]

The other thing I wanted to ask her that I. We didn't get to get into. I'm curious when she said she takes on other people's. Another animal's pain and Sickness.

[Jonathan Cohen]

This is a very common and big issue in intuitive work where people are trying to get information and they use their own body as a mirror in order to get said information. So she described it as, you take on the pain. And so, oh, I feel it in my left shoulder or I have a stomachache. And now I know that the person who I'm trying to communicate with or get information from remotely, that's what's going on with them. The danger of that is that you are having a physical experience, that your body is registering as yours. It doesn't know the difference, that you're using yourself as a mirror for someone else. So the same way we say that when you think a scary thought, your body produces the same reaction biochemically as if you were in a scary situation. The same is true for intuitives and mediums who are channeling information and using it in their own body. It then has to be processed and your body has to learn, wait a second, that isn't mine. And you have to separate. And so it's a whole process. The easier way to get that information, but does require a different level of experience, is just show me pictures or give me mental information. But that can be a little bit harder, especially as you're starting in order to receive information accurately.

[Mayim Bialik]

Judith Orloff, who. We've talked about her in our empathy episode, you know, remember we talked about there's different kinds of empaths because this is a form of empathy, right? I mean, animal empathy. I think Jonathan was one of the choices, right? Being an animal empath. You know, if you're, if you're receiving this kind of information, one of the suggested mechanisms is that you have a mirror neuron system that is more, I fill in the word. It's more active, it's more susceptible, it's more correlative. So in theory, if you want me to come up with sort of a mechanism, if you have, let's say, an exquisitely tuned mirroring system and that's part of your intuitive or empathic capacity, what could be happening is you're activating a pathway, you know, that is preferential that way for integrating others experience as if it is your own. I mean, how that could cause, you know, somatic stuff like that is, whew. That's. I mean, that's what the lady, the healer lady that I work with, that's what she'll say. She'll say sometimes to me, it's like her favorite thing to say. What are you feeling right now? You know, my eyes are closed. I'm on the table. She's a craniosacral specialist and also se somatic experiencing. What are you feeling right now? And you know, I have to believe her. Meaning if I'm gonna be engaging with a healer, I have to believe her. So she'll say like, I feel something in my heart. And sometimes she'll say it after. Meaning you could be leading the witness, like, oh, do you feel something in your heart? And I'll be like, yeah, I feel in my heart. But sometimes I'll say like, oh, I feel like a this. And she's like, I'm feeling it. She's mirroring what's happening.

[Jonathan Cohen]

When I was doing a lot of hands on work, it would be very, very common to get sensation in different parts of my body. And moments later or minutes later or five minutes later, the person would be like, oh, I feel this nauseousness. And it is. You have to be really careful not to lead the witness. The signals that we get to tell us what's happening with the person receiving the treatment, and then that person will be like, all of a sudden, oh, yeah, I feel this really big nauseousness in my gut. And then when they start to feel it, usually we don't feel it anymore. You know, more experienced practitioners will say, I don't want to have that experience and learn to regulate it. I think it's really interesting, the conversation about how to regulate extrasensory information, to not be overwhelmed by it and for it not to take over. The fact that we think about an animal communicator going out to dinner at someone's home who has animals, and the animals are chiming in as much as the people at the dinner party are. And that can't be the case. Otherwise you can't function as a regular person.

[Mayim Bialik]

No. And what she said and sort of when, you know, Valerie, our producer, asked, like, can you do a reading? You know, it's. It's a state that she has to get into. It's a. And I understand it now, you know, like, she has to be in a place, gotta drop in. It's like doing a reading. It's like leading a meditation, right? Like, it's not just like, oh, I'm looking at your dog, and it does this. It's probably like more of a channel thing. I don't know. I'm also curious if maybe you were giving all of your symptoms to the people you were laying hands on.

[Jonathan Cohen]

Well, you asked to clear that. You say, is this mine or is this someone else's? If it's mine, I ask for it to be set aside. I'm going to revisit this after the session. There's a turn of phrase that is used. Ask to leave my baggage at the door to focus on this person for their highest good and what they need during the session. And if you say that a few times and clear it and it still comes back, it's the person that you're working on.

[Mayim Bialik]

Sounds like you don't need to go to telepathy school. You're already there.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I'm going to start my own telepathy school. Sign up on my Instagram. We're going to start a class.

[Mayim Bialik]

If you haven't listened to her episode of the Telepathy tapes, I really recommend that people do that.

[Jonathan Cohen]

So cool.

[Mayim Bialik]

After the formal telepathy tapes, there's some bonus episodes and hers is the second one after that, so we recommend you check it out. Also, I'm going to look into her masterclass. I'm super fascinated. I want to. Maybe I should master animal telepathy.

[Jonathan Cohen]

I would love that. I would sign you up. I'm paying for your tuition and your flight to Copenhagen. If you want more on extrasensory abilities and intuition, follow us on Substack Mind Bialix Breakdown on Substack.

[Mayim Bialik]

Also, if you haven't been over to Substack, we have an excerpt from this episode that we specifically lifted that only lives on Substack. And it's an entire conversation about my cats. And one of the first times I knew that Jonathan actually was the master of practical spirituality, which happens to be the name of his Substack page. So for some very specific practical spirituality from Jonathan Cohen, please go over to substack, go to bialikbreakdown.substack.com and you can find out how to follow us. And you will hear more about Jonathan's practical spirituality. The most practical application of Jonathan's spirituality ever is over on Substack. And from our breakdown to the one we hope you never have, we'll see you next time.

[Jonathan Cohen]

It's Maya Bialik's breakdown. She's gonna break it down for you. She's got a neuroscience PhD or two and now she's gonna break down.

[Mayim Bialik]

So break down.

[Jonathan Cohen]

She's gonna break it down.
