10- full on panic, 5- relatively relaxed, 3- eyes getting soft, 2-eyes heavy and blinking, 1-eyes closed, 0-complete state of non thinking/ healing state animal is completely gone.

Strength - comes from patience and persistence in a non reaction state.

Persistence - short sessions in present moment.

Static touch: soft gentle touch.

When you try and bring an animal into the present moment/ a peaceful state a few things may happen.

1) They can become affectionate/needy. If they start touching you and distract you from staying present, gently move them away. If it is a large animal like a horse that's pushing you around, tie them up and stand where you are just out of reach then bring their minds down first (level 2 state) before untying and continuing the process.

2) They can avoid/resist the situation. They may get agitated, itchy or move away.

We must understand their resistance and go at the animals pace! Remember the glass of squash example. The present moment (or peace) brings the deep subconscious(emotional or physical) to a conscious level which then can be felt by the animal. It's at this point when it could be uncomfortable for the animal to let go. Only once the animal is filled with total peace(and the glass is clear, greatly diluted)then the animal has released all its fears and emotions.

In my point of view the word dissolve creates a good image in relation to what happens when you bring an animal into the present moment. The substance is the suboncious. Water the peace or present moment can dissolve the substance to a great dilution but the substance will always be there no matter how small the concentration. Water (peace)has changed the solution and can continue to change the solution by dituting it.

What I'm thinking is that if an animal has had an emotionally/physically traumatizing experience you won't ever be able to take the memory of the experience away from them but you can take away all the pain, fear and suffering associated with that experience (which has been held deep down in the subconscious) by allowing them to release it through the present moment (level 0-healing state). When this does happen I assume it's a huge releaf for the animal. They do not have to worry anymore. A huge weight has been lifted from their body.
