The biggest key is quieting the chattering mind so I can notice the subtle. I like to doodle or write down impressions — because once I’m writing, I’m less distracted by stray thoughts. Meditation is also powerful; my favorite is anapana meditation, which is simply focusing on the natural breath below the nose and above the lips. It’s simple, but it really steadies and clears the mind. Other calming activities — music, nature, or relaxing into that “zoning out” state like right before sleep — all help to keep me open and receptive.
And when doubt creeps in (because it always does), I remind myself: the value isn’t in whether the impression is “real” — it’s in how it feels. If something resonates with warmth, joy, or clarity in my body, then it’s serving the connection. Doubt loses its grip when I treat the process like play and exploration rather than a test I could fail. Aurora
I start by setting a clear intention: to meet with the being who is just as excited as I am about connecting. Staying in an elevated state of energy really helps — not hyper, but genuinely uplifted in joy, compassion, or love. That emotional frequency strengthens the “signal.” Since we can’t experience what we aren’t already vibrating with, I try to embody the qualities I hope to meet.
It also helps to state the intention out loud, as if I’m talking with a friend who’s already there. From that space, impressions begin to arise: their size or presence (light, dense, soft, solid), the feel of their skin or surface (smooth, scaly, furry, feathery, even leaf- or root-like), their eyes and unique features (wings, fins, tentacles, extra limbs). Sometimes I sense their personality — playful, wise, nurturing, curious, bold. The more I relax into it, the more their environment shows up too: planet, ship, ocean, forest, or even non-physical realms. Sometimes I hear sounds or songs that feel like their signature. These sensory details deepen the connection and make it more real. Aurora
This was a dilemma I had, especially when I was woken up in the middle of the night at 1:11 am, 2:22 am, and 3:33 pm, and given a download of information. On these occasions, I repeated the full message back and asked for a street light to be turned off directly outside my home. The street light went off immediately. If you do this repeatedly, you become confident in the communication and realize it is not just your imagination. Kevin
Many times it is difficult to know a dream from an ET screened visit” dream”. For me, the ET dream experience, if remembered, feels like being physically in it. Sometimes, this can be confirmed by bruising. You'll either remember things right away or be triggered weeks/months later by something. A regular dream will also be remembered or not; each person is different. Cindy
Fear is inherent to our humanness. We humans stop and freeze just like deer in headlights. However, I believe that when it comes to meeting the others, they freeze or paralyze us, because they do not know how humans will react on encountering them.
The way it helped me was by expressing my intention not to be paralyzed, which gave me a moment to adjust to the situation in the room. I won’t hurt them. This worked for me, but I had to practice in my mind or consciousness how I would breathe through it, now they don’t paralyze me anymore. Joy
Trauma is often dependent on personality. Contactees are sensitive and may be aware of what others do not see. As sensitive, they may quickly categorize their contact as trauma. A less sensitive person may simply not be aware of the phenomenon. Trauma may also be linked to a person's childhood or early trauma experiences and their typical reactions–fight (bully), flight (avoid), freeze (paralyze), or fawn (make nice).
Identify your dominant trauma response and determine the healthy response. The most healthy response involves breathing, slowing down, and calming your nervous system. A healthy response to a fight response is to identify what is making you angry. A healthy response to a flight trauma is to ground yourself and trust your ability to set boundaries and feel safe. A healthy freeze response is to move and trust your world as safe. A healthy fawn response is to concentrate on your needs, not the needs of others.
Developing a healthy trauma response to contact is the path to integration, emotional wholeness, and independence. Rebecca
I think they erase our memory because it might not be something that they want us to remember at this time. Maybe they did an examination or fixed a medical condition, but we were very frightened at the time, and they didn’t want to send us back with the fear in our hearts. Maybe they gave us information that they do not want us to verbalize at this time. I believe that we will remember much in our own time. Joy
Generally speaking, the subject of the communication is not something you have had on your mind, and most often is something you have little or no knowledge of, unless you have requested contact on a specific subject. This is usually a one-way contact that provides you with information.
You are responsible for discerning whether the source is emanating from light or dark, and your immediate gut sensation is usually correct. I advise that with even the slightest feeling of darkness, you let it go and ignore the message.
If you feel it is coming from light, listen as intently as possible. You can always pose a discernment question such as, “Do you come in the love and light of the single Divine Source?” Then act on your intuition based on the answer you receive. Nick
If you wish to have future contact, make that request while you are having a contact experience with that entity and ask for instructions on how to do it. When that is not an option, try one of the following. Remember that your intention plays a major role in making contact. Thinking about it in advance provides a major advantage. Ask the guides with whom you have regular contact to assist you in making a connection with those you are interested in contacting. Alternatively, from a meditative state, request contact with the specific entity and wait for a response. This may not happen immediately. Nick
From my research, I believe they made a contract with me so that I would participate in the disclosure process. That means being taken out at night. As time went on, I began to understand much more. It has been a real privilege to be part of the process.
Why me? I would ask, "Why not me?" Joy
That is the question of the Century! They have tried correlating Rh-negative blood; however, it is proven that it does not apply to me and thousands of others that are Rh-positive and have proven ET contact. So we will probably never figure it out. My advice is to just keep looking up! Cindy
The current UAP and Experiencer narrative is being shaped by organizations aligned with a government intelligence threat and fear-based agenda. Our group has had positive experiences and co-creating opportunities with beings that are of ET, angelic, light, and elemental origins, as well as other non human beings. We propose a natural and organic evolution to align more with these high-level consciousness energies and entities. Karin
The host sets fees based on their own personal policies. Rebecca charges $198 per 16-week session or $49 per month for Exoconscious Coaching. Monthly Coaching through the Substack is $8 (weekly participants attend free). Remember, you have the choice to invest in yourself and grow in the UFO/ET World and Research. Cindy
There is an enormous amount of information available on this topic. For the purpose of getting enough information to start to understand from several ontological perspectives, I recommend the following:

In my experience, telepathy requires strong energy at a frequency compatible with the other party in the communication. Impromptu contact is very difficult. You should know exactly who you want to communicate with, and you should plan the contact in advance by establishing a clear intention for the communication, being as specific as possible. It has been my experience that those with whom you can conduct telepathic communication recognize your intention and agree or disagree with holding such an event. When they disagree, there will be no communication. Nick
An example would be that the thoughts often came with information I was not familiar with. On these occasions, as it was during the day. I asked my ET guides to show me a craft to confirm that the thoughts were not my own. A craft would appear immediately, sometimes multiple crafts. Kevin
A download of information is when, in an instant, you receive an understanding of a particular process or information, often scientific information. An example of this was when I was given a download of the Quantum Unified Field Theory, with an explanation. I knew nothing about the Theory, I had heard about it, but not the intricate details. On this occasion, I again asked my star family to show me a craft to confirm the information downloaded came from them. A craft appeared immediately, 7 in total. They flew slowly and silently over our heads, changed direction by about 80 degrees, and then disappeared sequentially as they had appeared. My wife witnessed the event. Kevin
The first thing I remind myself is that I am never in real danger. Reality is vibrational: I cannot experience what I’m not aligned with. So, as long as I remain in joy, compassion, or at least neutrality, lower-frequency entities simply don’t register in my field. If I ever sense a presence I’d rather not engage with, I can acknowledge them politely, send them on their way with good wishes, and return to my own centered state.
The beings who are truly here for mutual growth and friendship will never shame, pressure, or judge me. They only meet me in love and joy, because those are the only frequencies they exist in. And if I ever feel more comfortable invoking protection, I can call on a trusted guide, angel, or being I already know and love — anything that helps me feel safe and open. Ultimately, my sovereignty is the real protection, but there is nothing wrong with calling in allies if it feels supportive. Aurora
Telepathically speaking with birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and even invertebrates is commonly referred to as animal or interspecies communication. At its core, it is a mind-to-mind, heart-to-heart, soul-to-soul connection.
This isn’t something you need to “learn” from scratch — you were born with this ability. Most people simply aren’t aware of it until life slows down enough to notice the subtle ways animals and other beings have always been reaching out.
Because humans are also animals, this type of connection feels deeply natural. Many people already long to bond more fully with the animals in their lives — whether that’s a beloved pet, a wild visitor, or even a symbolic ally that keeps showing up in dreams. In moments of challenge, such as when a pet has health or behavioral issues, telepathic communication allows us to listen directly to their perspective: what they are experiencing, what they need, and how we might support them.
But the gift goes far beyond problem-solving. Every time you open a telepathic channel with an animal, your intuition strengthens. Your trust in your inner knowing deepens. This builds confidence not only in communication with animals but also in daily life, decision-making, and spiritual expansion.
One of the most powerful intuitive skills developed through animal communication is claircognizance — clear knowing. This isn’t about seeing visions or hearing words. Instead, it arises as a deep knowing in your gut or heart. Many dismiss it as imagination or “wishful thinking,” but the more you honor and act on these impressions, the more you’ll discover how accurate they truly are.
Ultimately, telepathically communicating with animals opens you into a wider field of consciousness. It attunes you to the interconnectedness of all beings — animals, plants, trees, rocks, angels, even cosmic allies. The more you practice, the more natural it becomes to receive contact from all forms of life who are waiting to connect with you. Kim
There are some foundational ways to strengthen your intuition daily such as being in a state of gratitude, creating sacred space, grounding, meditation and breathwork. When working with animals, you can set an intention to connect heart-to-heart. You can visualize a golden cord, a beam of light, or a fabric weaving your hearts together. Speak to your animals out loud. Share your day, your worries, your joys. Animals love authentic connection, and when you bare your soul, your vibration rises. Remember that animals can be in front of you, far away, or even in spirit. A photo works beautifully as a focal point.
Before telepathically connecting, practice by sending love to your animal and opening yourself to feel their love in return. As your confidence grows, you can ask simple questions, then progress to deeper ones. Know that their answers reflect the wisdom of their soul’s evolution — sometimes simple, sometimes profoundly expansive.
For a practical exercise to strengthen intuition, you can go into nature with the intention of finding an item that “calls” to you — a stone, leaf, feather, or branch. Hold it, close your eyes, and invite impressions to arise through feelings, images, words, sensations, or a simple knowing. Write down what you experience without judgment. When finished, return the item to nature or keep it to connect again. Kim
Yes. Once you begin communicating with animals, you’ll find that your intuitive channels naturally expand. The more you practice, the more you realize this ability isn’t limited to animals — it’s a universal soul-to-soul language.
A great way to build confidence is to practice with animals that belong to other people. When you share what you receive and they validate it, your mind begins to relax and accept that this communication is real. With enough practice, you’ll feel more at ease opening that same channel with other forms of life.
From there, you can begin to practice with wild animals, trees, plants, rocks, rivers, and Mother Earth herself. The key is to approach each connection with openness, no expectation, and no judgment. Every being has consciousness, and every form of life has wisdom to share. Kim
The frequency of entities will become apparent and recognizable when interacting with different non-human entities and intelligence. The frequency of positive and natural organic evolved beings will be one of very powerful positive and loving, heartfelt oneness and acceptance.
AI and machine-based non-human entities do not possess a soul, divine spark, or presence. As such, the frequency will be neutral or negative or even flat affect and challenging to connect with in a divine association.
It is important to understand that current methods based on a “dog whistle,” “summoning,” or “psionic” methods will more than likely attract the same type of matching machine-based or AI technology or entity. As a counter to this type of attempt at communication, exoconscious humans use their own natural and psychic abilities and remote viewing. This is achieved through meditation and heart-centered awareness, enabling communication with highly advanced, organically evolved non-human entities at a higher consciousness level. Karin
Contact is primarily an individual experience, often defined as spiritual. Contact is a soul journey of self-discovery, led by one’s inner spirit that usually begins with initiatory experiences. Spirituality is an internal step-by-step learning process that no one else can do for you. You develop your unique roadmap.
Religion involves an external, organized system of beliefs, practices, doctrine, and specific rituals. Participation in religion involves you in a community of believers who progress together through an organized system.
If you experience contact as a religious person, you can hold both your inner journey and your religious beliefs in your heart. One accepts the other. Many religious congregations integrate an emphasis on prayer, healing, contemplative study, and meditation, which unifies and allows for self-expression.
Religious texts are filled with witness testimony and personal journeys of people connected to God and a Universal Source of Goodness.
As contactees respect religion and its external structures, we will find religion more easily moving toward an understanding of our experience. Rebecca
The enthusiasm and excitement of first contact, especially in adulthood, is often met with disinterest, dismissal, anger, ridicule, or silence by family and friends. If this happens to you, take time to find a friend or community (online or in person) with whom you can openly share the details of your contact experience. Our Exoconscious Community is one group, and there are several other experiencer groups you can explore.
Please realize how essential it is to openly share your contact experience. Voicing your experience empowers you. Speak up in a community that surrounds you with trust and love. Expressing your experience is the first step in integrating your contact into your psychic, intuitive knowledge and abilities. Learn to trust yourself among friends. Rebecca
