Did I say 14 00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:57,520 that right? Whitest Whitest, John D Whitest. I never had 15 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,320 to say it out loud. I know Dundee Whitess Okay, wonderful. 16 00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:07,200 And she's an expert tapping. She trains the trainers and 17 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,840 she has just taught so many people the tapping arts 18 00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:14,480 and her motto is feel better fast, and this is 19 00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:17,359 for people and animals. So I know you're gonna really 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,400 enjoy this show. Hopefully you'll be able to see it 21 00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:22,480 on YouTube, but if you can't see it, you'll be 22 00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:25,359 okay listening as we'll talk you through as carefully as 23 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,239 we can in this simple technique. So, hi Johndy, thanks 24 00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:33,000 for being with me. Hey, a pleasure with you. So 25 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,400 not everybody knows what tapping is, so let's give them 26 00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:38,640 a basic explanation of what it is and how it 27 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,599 works and why it works well. 28 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 3: Sure, tapping is a way to use your fingertips to 29 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,079 tap upon several little places on your body. Usually about 30 00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:51,599 eight will do it, even though there's well over three 31 00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:56,040 hundred and the acupressure and acupuncture world, And it's based 32 00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:01,120 on all these ancient techniques and concepts of balanced and 33 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,359 rebalance for calm and well being, and so we've adapted 34 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,080 it in the modern world to our own concepts and 35 00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:15,680 our own fast paste life. And what we generally do is, 36 00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:19,599 in John D Speak, we tell the truth, the simple truth, 37 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,560 and the first person we tell it to as ourself, 38 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,479 and you'd be amazed how much your body will relax, 39 00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:32,080 rebalance and be putting out a much more coherent and 40 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,560 enjoyable energy and experience of life, and we can do 41 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,919 that with past events or present situations, and we can 42 00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:45,960 create a state that feels better fast. 43 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:48,599 Speaker 2: That is a wonderful explanation. 44 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 4: Now. 45 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: Now, no people are probably familiar with acupuncture, where the 46 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,960 needles are put in the energy meridians. It's very specific 47 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,719 energy lines in the body. So what you're saying with 48 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,680 tapping is that we're using those same meridians, but instead 49 00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:04,800 of using needles, we're using our fingertips. Is that correct? 50 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,879 Speaker 3: Absolutely? And the great news is we don't have to 51 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:10,759 go to school for eight or ten years to do 52 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,520 that he like your master acupuncturists do. And also we 53 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,280 don't have to be so specific because we are percussively 54 00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:27,719 tapping on the spots instead of making direct, accurate endpoints. 55 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,479 And in that way, it's like ripples and palm. 56 00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:37,319 Speaker 2: Wonderful, wonderful. So we are giving stimulation through tapping, percussive 57 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,400 tapping on points. And the great news is that we 58 00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:43,599 can be close and it will still work, so we 59 00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:45,319 don't have to hit it with the precision of an 60 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,000 acupuncturist needle less really exciting. So yeah, so what got 61 00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:52,360 you into tapping? What convinced you that this was going 62 00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:53,400 to be your life's work. 63 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,599 Speaker 3: You know. I say this with laughter as well as 64 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,199 honesty desperation. Generally, people who come to tapping are one 65 00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:09,520 of two cons They are pioneering, early adopters. They're just 66 00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:12,680 interested in the world and what's new and what's next 67 00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:16,240 and what's possible. But there's a lot more of them 68 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:21,560 that are desperate because they've tried everything else. So this 69 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,879 becomes a source of last hope sometimes. And I was 70 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,000 in that category, and I was trying to get my 71 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:31,600 daughter some relief from problems I could not understand, but 72 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,519 I knew somehow these were not cognitive problems of the mind, 73 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,079 and they were not biological problems either, but they were 74 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,959 showing up with that symptomology of something's wrong. 75 00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: Uh huh. 76 00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:49,639 Speaker 3: You could see it and you could feel it, but 77 00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:53,279 I sure couldn't fix it. Yeah, that's how I finally 78 00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:56,600 happened upon tapping. And even though we got heard some help, 79 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:57,120 I went. 80 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 2: And it's for me. 81 00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: This is from what you do in pact. 82 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: That's wonderful. Now animals can't talk to us. I can't say, oh, 83 00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:07,120 my left leg is hurting, or you know, tell us 84 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,160 what's bothering them? How do we work with animals who 85 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,120 can't tell us what they're feeling unless you're an animal communicator, 86 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,480 which we'll get to. But well, say, wish I were 87 00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:19,560 an animal communicator like you. But I believe we can 88 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,639 all learn to better receive the communications that they are 89 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,680 giving us. Yes, they're not. 90 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:30,399 Speaker 3: Words, but frankly, words are very crude versions of communication. 91 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,839 They're just widely accepted and culturally talked. Yeah, we can 92 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,160 all feel, we can all see, we can all hear, 93 00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:45,879 we can all observe something's not quite right. We can 94 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,439 feel it. Some is not right with jay Z. Yes, 95 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,120 she is doing something unusual. I'm noticing that she is 96 00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:03,480 showing me something. I'm noticing her behavior has changed. I'm 97 00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:08,040 noticing she really doesn't seem to light. And so in 98 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,879 that way, it is about us a tuning you see 99 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,000 what's going on. But I also because not only because 100 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,879 I'm a Pisces, but also because I work in energy work, 101 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,360 they feel a chance, right, And so I think there's 102 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,959 many people in the world that all of us can understand. 103 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,519 We've seen them back way when they open a door, 104 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,600 they come into a room and there's a dog, and 105 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:38,600 it doesn't matter if it's like, hint, size, it's it's 106 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,439 a Saint Binard. They're like, see that because they feel 107 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:51,199 something of their experiential past has immediately taken over their physioguy. Yeah, 108 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,360 so we're not actually that different. But let's move over 109 00:06:56,399 --> 00:06:58,800 to the animals and say we see them do the 110 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,279 same thing, and you're famous away and tour yes kind 111 00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:06,519 of understanding, yeah. 112 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of watching the signals and seeing is an 113 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,639 animal moving towards what feels good, what feels safe, or 114 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:14,879 is the animal moving away or resisting what doesn't feel good? 115 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,839 And this is their definite wisdom. And as we pay 116 00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:21,079 attention to this, especially the subtle, the subtle cues, like 117 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,360 on a way signal from a dog could simply be 118 00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:27,199 eyes looking away. A slight head turn is an indication 119 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:30,079 then no, thank you, I really don't enjoy this petting anymore. 120 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,720 What you're doing over here is not You're an autopilot, 121 00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:37,800 you know. So yeah, it helps us to tune into them, 122 00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:40,759 to really be paying attention to what they want. So 123 00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:46,079 let's say you see a dog who's got some nervousness, 124 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:48,560 some stress, some general anxiety. You don't know any more 125 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,839 details other than that, and the person said, you know, 126 00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:53,639 could you help me with some tapping? So you have 127 00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:56,360 permission to help. You're not just going up to strangers 128 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,879 on the street and tapping them. You definitely need we 129 00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:03,079 need that sense of permission exactly. And so an important 130 00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:05,399 place to start is to understand. 131 00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:09,959 Speaker 3: We got the let's call it the owner the moment's permission, 132 00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:14,079 but we didn't necessarily get the animal's permission, right. So 133 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,040 I think that's a very important place to start, at 134 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,120 which point I start to become let's call it more 135 00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:25,480 heightened than my presence, my consciousness of the energy I'm 136 00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:29,720 sending across. Yes, what the animal was starting to pay 137 00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:35,279 attention to is the me that is not spoken and 138 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,120 maybe hasn't even acted yet. I'm sort of sending that 139 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,440 out if you could kind of see that as air 140 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:47,080 going towards them. I want to send the intention of 141 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:56,960 say hello, but not rushing, not moving in. I might 142 00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:02,919 be altering my gay, might be softening my eyes, or 143 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,039 I might be like the animal, averting my eyes. Yes, 144 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,360 very polite in animal world to do that, and making 145 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:14,799 it easy for them to look at me without feeling 146 00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:18,720 that that glance as it. 147 00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: And so I also. 148 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 3: Someone is talking, I also like to understand that I 149 00:09:27,639 --> 00:09:32,039 have a spell and that may or may not mean 150 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:38,080 anything to me. Usually our animals are very heightened sniffers, 151 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,080 and so you know, am I loaded with perfume? Or 152 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:48,399 do I stink like a dog that smells unsafe? Do 153 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,679 I have some other objectionable smell about me? So what 154 00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:56,519 these things are sensory details that the animal is starting 155 00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:59,120 to get. And so when we put ourselves in heightened 156 00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:04,320 awareness and presence, it's all of these things we're trying 157 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,720 to bring to the animal in a safe way that 158 00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:09,159 allows them to choose. 159 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 2: Yes, that's okay, you got a little puppy. That's hard. 160 00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 3: Somebody's going past the door. 161 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: How dare they? 162 00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: So? 163 00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: The other thing I would say is I would like 164 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,320 to talk to the animal. But it's not so much 165 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,000 about the words. It's really about the energy behind the 166 00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:31,559 words yes. And you know, what we might call a 167 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,320 verbal prosody is just fancy way of saying, what's the 168 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,200 quality of your voice? Right, every different piece of it? 169 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,399 What is the quality of that? 170 00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:44,799 Speaker 2: So wonderful? I love that you take the moment to 171 00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:48,159 get the dog's sense of yes, I want this, no, 172 00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:52,679 I don't want this. Before you impose. You know that, 173 00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:54,919 we don't. You know, some people do that, so we don't. 174 00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:56,759 We don't want to do that. We want to really 175 00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:59,879 take a moment, make sure that our intention is clear 176 00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:02,720 the dog. The dog says yes in some way through 177 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,559 their body language, through their attention, through you know, your 178 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,879 sense of their energy and response to yours. So that's 179 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,519 a beautiful way to begin. What happens next? 180 00:11:14,039 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: Well, next is my offer. I'm getting closer, so it 181 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,840 be I bring my towering self down, but very slowly, 182 00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:31,639 not forward, just down, and I might put out one 183 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,679 of my limbs, but just really close to me, put 184 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,519 it down on the ground, Yes, near the ground. And 185 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,399 so it's just an invitation if you would like to 186 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,159 sniff me worth some to you. 187 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: I'm here. Yeah, that's always wonderful. When the animal chooses 188 00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:55,200 to come forward, we know a we're and sync. You know, yes, 189 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,960 animalst giving us a yes. I want whatever it is 190 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,720 that you're offering. I want some of it. Yeah, that's beautiful, beautiful. 191 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 3: Well, I think that by this time I am looking 192 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:11,360 with soft gaze for their eyes. I am trying to 193 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:17,600 ascertain do they have soft eyes in return? If they 194 00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:21,919 won't come any closer, I think it's we have to 195 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,720 allow that, and we maintain our position or maybe even 196 00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:30,840 sit down or move back or whatever, but just let 197 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:37,159 it be telegraphed to them that that's okay, I'm still 198 00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:41,879 here and that's okay. Yeah. And I might continue to 199 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,519 refer to them every now and then and their owner. 200 00:12:44,879 --> 00:12:48,919 I might even have their owner touch me, not me, 201 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,039 touch them, so that the owner is going, you know, oh, 202 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,919 this is good, you know this is mine, or I 203 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,039 can touch this new person. I can do that to them, 204 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,720 and they are skilled. And in that way, we're kind 205 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,120 of koshering the interaction for the pet if they want 206 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,440 to take advantage of that. If they do come again, 207 00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:19,120 I give them time to smell or to nose around 208 00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:20,799 or to do whatever they want. 209 00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 2: Well, this sounds so in alignment with the human animal connection, 210 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,320 because we believe that there's a perfect distance for every 211 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,200 interaction and it's always different with every animal with every 212 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:33,159 day whatever you know, our mood, their mood. And so 213 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,120 I love that you are taking the time to really 214 00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:39,720 give the animal a chance to choose to engage or not, 215 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,159 because that makes all the difference in the world. When 216 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,559 we choose to accept the healing it's going to go 217 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,799 much better. So we're going to take a short little break. 218 00:13:47,799 --> 00:13:49,600 When we come back, I want to hear some stories 219 00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:52,759 about how you've used this tapping with your clients and 220 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,519 what results you've gotten.

Now back to the show. 236 00:15:00,559 --> 00:15:09,159 Speaker 4: Let's talk pets on Petlifradio dot com. 237 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Human Animal Connection podcast. I'm speaking 238 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,000 with John D. White's and we are speaking about tapping 239 00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:19,039 an energy healing technique that you can use both for 240 00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:22,399 people and animals, and even animals who've passed, we can 241 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,240 still do healing work with them, which maybe if we 242 00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:26,600 have time, we'll get into that. But I want to 243 00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:29,559 just hear a story or two about your work with 244 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,120 animals and the kinds of results you've seen with this 245 00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:32,879 energy work. 246 00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I want to put two things out there. 247 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:41,039 One is I actually have tried to get a particular 248 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,639 person and dog I'm thinking of to come and see 249 00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:51,279 you for a much more comprehensive processing and healing. And 250 00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:54,720 because I could not affect that, I used the very 251 00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:58,679 techniques I just talked about with everybody and have made 252 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:04,159 this highly reactive little dog into a person that is 253 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,600 glad to see me. Ah. And I've even made it 254 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:11,960 so that my new dog also is maintaining this kind 255 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,039 of chill presence and now he is glad to see her. 256 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,000 And this is sort of the benefit of being able 257 00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:24,759 to work with your energy, your energy to affect another's positively. 258 00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:30,799 When it comes to tapping the tapping points that we have, 259 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,960 we primarily use only eight to ten of the hundred 260 00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:39,120 tapping points and we use even the less actually with 261 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,080 the dogs and cat and I don't think I should 262 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,120 have to point out, but maybe I do. Most of 263 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,639 us do not like people coming at our face and 264 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,320 dogs and cats even light right, right right, you know, everybody, 265 00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:59,960 And so the points that we have on our face 266 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:05,119 are typically not what I would do with an animal. Okay, 267 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,680 What it will do, however, is I will do some 268 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,960 version of their collarbone points, which is on their strum, 269 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,759 and I'll also do from their brain stem down to 270 00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:20,720 their toxics, all along the spinal bomb. Nice far mostly 271 00:17:20,759 --> 00:17:23,359 the go to points. So there's really only two that 272 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,519 I'm giving you two areas, right, although if you have 273 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,359 a lot of uptake with your pet, you could be 274 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:36,759 very soothing like this. So it's not tap, is it. 275 00:17:36,759 --> 00:17:38,640 It's more of a massage. 276 00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: Right, like a circular motion. Yeah, light circles. 277 00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:44,799 Speaker 3: You could still even move that onto the face if 278 00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:47,440 you needed to. But I really find that I do. 279 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,880 And today actually ask my friend Cora, who is not 280 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,160 a live dog but very much a personality, and yes, 281 00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:59,079 I've heard to come along so that she could sort 282 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,880 of demonstrate. Yeah, again I'm not going for their face, 283 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,440 but will go for their sternome. 284 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,599 Speaker 2: Right color bond like right below your the bottom of 285 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,839 your neck, the top of your. 286 00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 3: Chest here the arms connect, right, yeah, and so you 287 00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:21,359 will have to look for how it is comfortable for you. 288 00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:24,039 It may be floor, it may be on the sofa, 289 00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:28,039 whatever works for you. That you want to make sure 290 00:18:28,079 --> 00:18:32,039 that they feel secure, not secured so much as secure 291 00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:35,759 then keeping in mind all the stuff that we already 292 00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:39,799 talked about about your energy and your presence and your 293 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:45,079 understanding of their allowance. And this is where I might 294 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,519 tell them in advance and be watching. I'm just going 295 00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:52,400 to tap a little bit on your chest right here. 296 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,559 That be okay, because I'd like to show you boos 297 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,960 might feel good, That might feel good. 298 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,039 Speaker 2: So just to clarify, you're using your fingertips as the 299 00:19:05,079 --> 00:19:07,400 point of contact as opposed to say the flat of 300 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,279 a hand. So yeah, and I'm be very gentle. I'm 301 00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:16,559 not think to you, not talking or prodding or it's 302 00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:20,279 almost like the pads, if you know, between the pads 303 00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:24,000 of your fingers versus right right. But then we're just 304 00:19:24,279 --> 00:19:28,839 giving this little percussive tapping with permission. But we're still 305 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:34,720 really observant about what's going on, right, Miss soothing voice, right, 306 00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:40,519 and then not staring at them, and then maybe I'm 307 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,119 just talking free form about there, right, and you might 308 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,400 have another hand point of contact for just some security, 309 00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:52,759 not again to restrain, but just to have a secure point. Yeah, 310 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,920 very nice, very nice. And how long would you typically 311 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,640 tap for? Like would you tap for ten? 312 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,759 Speaker 3: You know? Yeah, they're going to let you know what 313 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,079 they are going to be able to comfortably tolerate, and 314 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:11,279 so I may do this, and if I got their toleration, wow, 315 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,759 I might say, how about if we try it on 316 00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:18,400 your back that feeds right at your back, that let's 317 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,640 try that. And again you're going to have to rearrange 318 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,039 yourself somehow, depends on kind of animal in place you have. 319 00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:30,200 But I'm going to say, I'm just gonna lightly go 320 00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:31,039 down your back. 321 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 2: Would that feel good? 322 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,039 Speaker 3: So good? So I'm really trying to read the room here. 323 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,079 Speaker 2: And you're going to the side of the spine so 324 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,599 that they don't feel any pressure on the spine. Yeah, exactly. 325 00:20:42,759 --> 00:20:45,079 Speaker 3: It's almost like if you could make your hands or 326 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,359 your fingers into a little sea shape. But in this case, 327 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,160 I'm not being so precise, so I could just do 328 00:20:54,279 --> 00:20:57,839 it with my whole paw. But again you said it's 329 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,839 not on the bone owns right, just on either side, 330 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,240 right right. And so when I do that again, I'm 331 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,640 soothing in the voice. I'm trying to make sure that 332 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,240 they feel comfortable, and I'm talking to them and I'm 333 00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:19,279 going you know what great dog you are, Cora. I 334 00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:22,519 would love to help you feel even better. 335 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,519 Speaker 2: Now, just to to tell the audience, you're going in 336 00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:29,480 one direction, So you're going down down the spine. You're 337 00:21:29,519 --> 00:21:30,119 not going up. 338 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 3: You're from the cervical connection all the way down to 339 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,839 the cocksix. 340 00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 2: Get into the spine by the tail. 341 00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:41,559 Speaker 3: Yeah. What I've noticed is many many dogs love this 342 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,519 last oh yeah orth some fm will do that automatic 343 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:52,559 coughing has them will just sit them, Yeah, they'll just relax, 344 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,880 and some even splay yeah all the way down. But 345 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,119 the idea is because we're putting so little pressure on 346 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,599 it that it feels good. 347 00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:08,079 Speaker 2: And yeah, it's just like awakening their senses, you know. 348 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,799 And if we were doing it too hard, it would 349 00:22:09,799 --> 00:22:10,720 be like what's she doing? 350 00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 3: This is? 351 00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: You know? 352 00:22:11,759 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 2: So there's nothing hard about this. This is a very 353 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,680 gentle process. Yes, So those are the two area. Yeah, 354 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,039 that'slous and that you. 355 00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:28,599 Speaker 3: There are many more in an ursors book for cats, horses, 356 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,839 et cetera. But I'm not one. I'm trying to be 357 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,759 a healing agent and a force for safe and calm 358 00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:37,400 in the world. 359 00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:40,319 Speaker 2: That's wonderful, well, you know so much if we can 360 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,759 just help the dogs kind of get into their calm 361 00:22:43,799 --> 00:22:47,839 body energy. They have their own healing methods that will 362 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,240 kick in once we get them into a state of relaxation. 363 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,599 So this is a very soothing technique. I do it 364 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,759 with my dogs just about every day, you know, just 365 00:22:56,799 --> 00:22:59,160 a little bit, you know, and sometimes it's just a minute. 366 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,119 You know, it's doesn't take long. You know, they come 367 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,319 and they want it, and they love that one at 368 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,400 the base of the neck. The so what do you 369 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,559 call it, I'm just sternam aera. I couldn't think of 370 00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:11,839 the word. 371 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, the bone area or the sternum the high test. 372 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,279 Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's very soothing. And I do it for 373 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,480 myself too when I need a little bit of soothing 374 00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:23,640 and so yeah, it's a really great point. I hope 375 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,440 people will be inspired to just do this with their 376 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,039 own dogs, or maybe if you're volunteering at the shelter. 377 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,480 I find many shelter dogs, if approached properly, love this 378 00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:37,799 need this will be so grateful for this beautiful touch. 379 00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 3: I'm really glad that you mentioned that. And I'm just 380 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,720 gonna add a couple of caveats. One tap on yourself, 381 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:50,559 just the same way. We'll do this way right before 382 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,960 you go. Yeah, And what I want to say is 383 00:23:54,319 --> 00:23:57,920 about that being present, my intention to being present and 384 00:23:58,039 --> 00:24:03,599 safe and being calm, positive person in the world. To them, 385 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,039 that's enough. But holding that intention and no other one. 386 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,759 It's not about my ego. It's not about watch this, 387 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,319 it's not about I'm going to get this dog too. 388 00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:18,880 So we go and clean. It's loving energy and we've 389 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,319 tapped ourselves first. Then we go through the other things 390 00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:26,240 we talked about today of inviting them into your space 391 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,000 and then honoring that. So when it comes to a shelter, 392 00:24:31,599 --> 00:24:35,240 if you have the chance, a great image in my 393 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,319 mind of delivery is I sit outside of however they 394 00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:44,319 are contained, and I bring all that energy I've been 395 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,480 talking about, and I tap on myself. I can even 396 00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:52,880 send you a genie a tapping sheet for humans, and 397 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,519 do that beforehand. And then I sit and I wait. 398 00:24:56,839 --> 00:24:59,240 I don't stare at them, because then you'll be in 399 00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:02,359 the back of the or they may be afraid of everybody, 400 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,039 or they may be highly reactive, and I'm showing them 401 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:11,200 non reactivity by sitting safely for me and then outside 402 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,559 of the contained area and just tapping and being knowing 403 00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:19,480 that I'm just sending that over to them, nothing else, 404 00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:21,319 and that may be all you can do, and you 405 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,119 know what, that might be the best thing you did 406 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,480 all day. 407 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,279 Speaker 2: It's wonderful. It's just I know, I love doing that 408 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,400 when I'm voluntaring at the shelter and just offering that 409 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,799 calm presence. And then the dog can choose if they 410 00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:36,480 want contact or not, if they want closeness or not, 411 00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:39,680 they want more healing or not. But just sometimes just 412 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:45,319 those little giving being calmness and recognition. That's like, you know, 413 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,839 sixty seventy percent of the whole game is just by 414 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,200 being a gentle presence in their presence, because that gentleness 415 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,319 is contagious, you know, the calmness is contagious. I love that. 416 00:25:56,319 --> 00:25:58,799 That's beautiful. Well, how can people get a hold of 417 00:25:58,839 --> 00:26:00,880 you if they'd like to? You do remind sessions also 418 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,119 at people? Right, Yes, I do. 419 00:26:04,039 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 3: My website is cleverly named my own name, John D 420 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,759 j O N d I whitess w h tis dot 421 00:26:13,759 --> 00:26:17,599 com and you'll find a little contact form there where 422 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,920 you're free to contact me and we'll talk for a 423 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,839 few minutes and see what I can do for you. 424 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:30,000 And if you find this energy and exchange between people beneficial, 425 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,319 we'll just go from there. 426 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,519 Speaker 2: That's wonderful.

Before I let you go, do you have 428 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,839 one last piece of advice for our listeners who want 429 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,599 to do healing work with their own animals, the animals 430 00:26:42,599 --> 00:26:44,160 that share their lives. 431 00:26:45,519 --> 00:26:50,519 Speaker 3: I think it's simple common sense and kindness. You'll ever 432 00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:54,319 put anything out there that you wouldn't want coming back 433 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:54,640 at you. 434 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 2: Good fun, nice little golden rule. Do unto others, and 435 00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:05,279 that includes the animals. It's beautiful. Well, thank you.
