Crow Whisperer

This is Shivie, the Danish hooded crow, who was found by Bent Lorentzen on May 21 half dead, emaciated and dehydrated, with nerve damage to right wing and leg, after a fall from the nest.  The plan is to attempt reintegrating her with a local crow group (murder) as soon as (if) she can fly.

Crow whispering is very intuitive, and though a scientist who has worked also as a psychotherapist, this is the type of work I am best at, with stressed and traumatized creatures, humans included.  For me, it combines many disciplines from around the world, including shamanic and yoga, and works like subtle healing touch combined with certain sounds.  It is deeply interactive, helps cut through boundary-layers of stress-related distrust and anxiety, gets to the core Self of the animal, and has primarily to do with listening to what the crow is saying with her whole body.  Basically, it is an expression of unconditional love, which no one owns, and which heals all involved.  Anyone can do it with a bit of learning, experience but mostly, good intuition.  The important key is to be simple... be very simple.

Unfortunately, this video doesn't even come close to describing how profound some of these sessions are with Shivie.  That's because as soon as I bring the camera into play, then the crow gets excitable and distracted over the shiny object nearby, and my own attention is slightly off, since I'm also looking at the screen to see if it's capturing the scene.
