Part Three

After the last session, Millie's owners were a bit dubious about having her treated again. She was very subdued for the rest of the day and slept a great deal.

I explained that this can occur with healing, the emotions that she had buried long ago were resurfacing and although animals do not carry emotional baggage like humans do, the body retains information and emotions and can hold it there. I was giving Millie the tools to release these emotions so that she could in turn heal herself.
The therapy also continues to work for 24 hours as that is how long it takes for energy to do a complete circuit of the body. Which would explain her sleeping as well as the fact that sleep is the time when the body best regenerates.

This time the session was held at Millie's home, I wanted her to feel most at ease and it was a great opportunity to see how she reacted in her own environment. Initially she greeted me, albeit a little warily, but still came to me when called. I began with the 'hug hold' and the main central vertical to rebalance her body's energy. Without reading her pulses I recommenced the #24 & #26 flow which this time she was more than happy to receive. She sat contentedly for me. Which is how all animals come to be.

Generally, when introduced to High Touch Jin Shin, it is neither liked or disliked by an animal. It is simply 'different'. When humans go to any sort of therapist they are happy to stick it out, even if it feels uncomfortable or even 'weird' because they know that there will be a positive end result. Animals live in the 'now' so do not distinguish between the past and present, whether or not they used to feel better than they do now, or that what is happening to them is going to make them OK again. Instead they just view everything as 'different' and are not comfortable with the change.

Even if an animal has been in pain for years, nursing a limp for example, and suddenly the cause of that issue is treated, the animal will react, not necessarily in a negative way, but simply because even though they have that pain they have managed quite well by compensating for it. So much so that it becomes the norm for them, if you take that away they then have to readjust to life without the limp - It's not bad, just different. This is why I take it very slowly in the initial stages of High Touch Jin Shin, allowing the animal to leave when they want to...they always return in the end because it feels so good!

Back to Millie...

She sat happily for me for a time in which I noticed the gurgling of the stomach and a few yawns. I felt it was right for me to treat the opposite side and Millie agreed by turning around and laying down so that I could reach her better. After about 10 minutes she sat up again and stretched out her back legs, displaying her #15's to me.

Now #15 is the embodiment of happiness and joy an area where Millie is clearly lacking. Rather than focussing on the partners of #15 I just held both sides together as it is obviously what Millie was requesting. I felt a great deal of heat here and the pulses were very sharp and tinny which indicated that she was stuck in the second depth where grief is the predominant emotion.

Again she didn't need long and pulled away after a few minutes before licking my chin in thanks.

I had already decided to rework her #24 & #26 flow the next time I saw her as although there were break throughs I wasn't sure that the sessions had fully gone through to all levels yet.

I was impressed with the 'kiss' and got up to wash my hands before leaving. When I returned to the room Millie was hiding behind the male owners legs and began growling at me. I felt that perhaps he supported her behaviour by not removing her from his security as clearly shouting at her did nothing. Instead I told her to 'pack it in or I won't treat you again' and she stopped immediately. I suppose it would be surprising to some, but I truly believe that animals understand a whole lot more than we give them credit for!

Till next time....
