I have found the video course to be invaluable. I stumbled across the Trust Technique at a time in my life where I had worked very much on my own mindfulness and this seemed to be the final piece of a puzzle that very much brought all my past experiences with both my animals and myself together. I am a veterinary nurse and have also worked as a reward based trainer in the past. I have owned dogs and cats and have always been interested in behaviour and training. Having come up against some 'restrictions' and concerned how my animals seemed to be becoming more 'wired' using reward based training I looked elsewhere for alternative theories and methods. Coming to my own conclusions that over stimulation (especially with youngsters) was causing many of the behavioural problems seen in dogs it was a real eye opener to see how using the present moment could be used to further help to calm and ultimately resolve behavioural problems. I have seen dramatic results using the trust technique not only in my own animals but also in dogs that I have dealt with in the shelter where I currently work.
I really do hope this way of working becomes more mainstream. It is an invaluable tool to have. Thank you so much.

What a wonderful tool to connect and be with animals. I`ve already had so many touching moments with the horses in the shelter I am working as a volunteer. They love being in the Present Moment and I love sharing this moment with them. It makes me immensely happy. Thank you!

This course is an inspiration for a kinder, gentler way of working with animals.
It's OK to have patience and to work according to the animal's timing. It seems to me that this is also a good way to work with kids--or with any traumatized person or pet.
Now to have patience with myself as I practice the present moment.

Dear James and Shelley:
Many years have elapsed since, in a single and firm act of volition, I decided to drastically quit smoking, drinking alcohol and eating the product of the slaying of innocent animals… I have to accept the fact that it was not an easy turn, but that single decision strengthened my will power as I wouldn’t even dream possible. The fact is that since then, April, 1966, I have not eaten any part of murdered animals, I have not had a single shot of Scotch, nor have I smoked a single cigarette. Through that simple act I firmly took my first step on the narrow Path that takes us to the Eternal Present. In my trajectory I found Meditation, Yoga, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, Great Universal Brotherhood, Occultism, Dianetics, etc… trips to India, Gurus, Ashrams, Sadhanas, and on, and on. Many years later I came to the conclusion that all those Schools, Teachings and Gurus have a common factor: The search of that Light mentioned in each one of them. The ultimate goal is always the same, even if they give different definitions and directions. Most of them offer the “one and only way” to reach the Eternal Home while very few accepts that “all roads lead to Rome”. Each offers a direct ticket to the end point, as long as you submit to their norms, sometimes unreachable and many say the destination is only attained after death, because no one is accepted in Paradise while wearing the fleshly costume… (their idea of hell and heaven drastically rejects the fact that we carry both of them as a portable item and either one is readily attainable depending of our state of consciousness).
In my 82 years on this Planet Earth I never heard such a simple way to explain, and prove, their simple steps to reach “the present moment”, “the HERE AND NOW”, the Divine State of Consciousness that opens the door to the other dimensions.
I have only finished Section 2 of the Trust Technique Video Course, and I have been able to observe not only the perfect response of so many types of animal to your silent command, but I have also seen the easy it is for you to teach other people, real profanes of the subject, the technique you use to enter the silent state which is the way all animals, and maybe plants, communicate with each other.
All those theories that state that “All is One” are clearly seen throughout your videos… but the best part of it all is that now it is so easy to be Here and Now… and this is not only I who can practice the Trust Technique but its doors are open to anyone who is really interested and ready to works for it .
To put it in few words, this Technique is one of the greatest discoveries of our times, because this wonderful practice has been delivered to the world so the people of good feelings can help not only those beings so called irrational animals, but also the practitioner is helped way beyond his own comprehension.
What do I think of it?
Three qualifying adjectives
1.- Enlightening
2.- Awakening
3.- Extraordinary
Thank you for sharing the blessings you have received!
