Code of honor
Code of honor
I adhere to Penelope Smith's code of honor. My compassion, intuition, esteem and respect for all living beings on earth and the desire to be able to help, so that they are better understood, guide me in my work.
I only communicate with animals if I have the consent of the holder, who trust me and ask for help, and who are also willing to change something in the animal's interest if necessary. I do not judge or evaluate animals because of their mistakes and misunderstandings towards humans and I am free of opinions about them.
I don't give orders to animals from their keepers. I first introduce myself politely to the animals and ask them beforehand whether they would like to communicate with me of their own free will and whether I can pass their messages on to their associated people. I give them the space they need to talk to me and to be able to say anything they want to say and confide in me. I am only there for you at the moment. Animals are not required to answer human questions. It is solely up to their decision and their free will, which we humans have to respect in any case.
I am only the ambassador, not the message itself. For this reason I write everything down exactly what and how the animals entrust me with it. Even if it may seem strange to me at this moment or it doesn't seem to make any sense, this can be a helpful hint for people who know what to do with this animal's answer. Maybe a few days or weeks later.
Often people have to change first so that the animal has the space it needs to change itself, as it very often mirrors people and wants to draw their attention to something.
In my work, I respect the privacy of people and animals alike and respect their desire for confidentiality. I try to help by asking deeper questions, but never go so far as to violate the dignity and trust of animals.
I know where my limits are. It is not my job to name and treat diseases and then refer them to a veterinarian. However, I can perceive thoughts and feelings and feel pain and symptoms of illness in the animals myself and pass them on to veterinarians. This can be very useful information. Animals don't always know what they have or what they lack because they don't know our terms for diseases.
Immediately after the conversation or at an appointment agreed later, I describe my personal feelings about the animal at the time of the conversation and summarize everything again. This gives the human being the opportunity to recognize his own animal in the fact that the conversation actually took place and that it was exclusively the animal's message. I always ask the animal to describe a memory from life, his favorite place or his home, so that the owner knows that the conversation is about his animal.
