Notes:

"right now you can be peaceful"

1. choose quiet time. 

2. sit or stand close to them

don't touch or stroke because this is thinking not being

on the floor with dog 

eye attention is next to them close enough to see them peripherally but not directly at them.  not focused on them

get present for 30 seconds

3. Starting with them: what are their thinking levels at the moment from 1-10

4. then back - and repeat

8-10 too busy

5 reasonably relaxed

4 laying down

3.  eyes soft

2. nodding off

0. twitchin. healing state 

??? approaching with the present moment. How? Walking? before you said 

6 go at their pace

7. know that it will work - dont try too hard 

yawning is letting go of thinking level

Understanding their resistance

not everyone knows they need peace 

it may be uncomfortable 

?? what is going at their pace if they walk away and itch. How do we honor it? 

neediness - push them away gently. return to present moment

turns away attention - makes a movement to get it back 

find your space  where im not reacting not thinking 

give him attention at the "proud of him" Stroking gently
