In the exercise, and when connecting to a feeling in regard to your present situation with your pet, you will often be able to place that feeling somewhere in your body, and you may be able to connect that feeling to another situation in your life. You may be able to then trace that feeling and situation back in time. This may highlight a reoccurring theme, or familiar emotional dynamic in your life.

If the feeling cannot be connected to anything, then that may be your animal's issue. If you can connect to another current feeling and situation, then that's a present emotional issue for the owner to address. The animal will be picking up the feeling and reflecting it back to you. If you can connect to the feeling to repeated experiences in the past, then that may a life theme for the owner to address.

The questions - What is the feeling? Where is the feeling in the body? Where else do you feel that? When did you last feel it? How far back can you recognise the feeling?

If you're reacting, how can your pet trust you. Will you be the fear teacher, or the trusted teacher.

When thinking of an emotional event, use the present moment as something to come back to (using your senses, like something you can touch and something you can hear). This present moment is like a truth filter, and the more times you use it the less the emotion will be. Almost like regulating and dissolving the emotional reaction. The animal may then go into a healing rest.

By dissolving the intense emotion it then takes the responsibility off the animal.
