I wanted to check in on Senne, who was having some challenges staying grounded when not with her person. I spoke to her first on Day 5 of the Challenge. As soon as I tuned in, Senne began happily and playfully feinting left and right, as dogs do in play mode and as she had done during my first connection with her. "I'm so glad to see you so happy, Senne!" I remarked. She acknowledged this with a dog smile but no words. "How are things going?" I asked. I had her anxiety issues in mind and wondered how the healing technique I had suggested to her was working. "It's hard. I can't always remember what to think when (my person's) away," she reported. "I know. Change and breaking old patterns can be really difficult," I admitted. "But they can also be easy the more you stop thinking about it. I think dogs are supposed to be pretty good at just living in the moment." I could feel her thinking about this. First she thought, "Well, why can't I do it if other dogs can?" and then she thought, "I can do this!" "I know you can!" I agreed. "So when (your person) is away, what happens to you?" I wanted to check on her thought process. "I try to remember she'll be back soon, but once she is out of sight, I start to panic." I can feel her panic. "Can you still sense or feel her when she's not in sight?" I asked. "Yes, always." "Okay, so you know she's there even when you can't see her," I stated. "In a way, you still hold her leash, no matter where she is, right?" I tried to lighten things up. She gave an uneasy smile. "The energy healing technique we talked about last time… you don't have to think about it or actively use it or worry about it. It just works on its own. When you think of (your person), it translates into love. And the love is pure. It supports her in whatever she is doing. It helps her come home to you safely. It gives her the strength and space to go out in the world and do what she needs to do to be happy and healthy. These are all things you want for her, too! And you get to help it all happen. So instead of worrying about her safety or the challenges she faces in a day, you are sending her love and support, which helps way more than worry! Do you want to try it now?" She seemed interested and enthusiastic. "Okay, imagine she is in the room with you. Send her love and support," I instructed. I see a beam going from Senne to her person. It was easy for her! "Okay, now imagine you are in one room and (your person) is in the next room over," I continued. I could already feel some anxiety in her. "Take that anxiety you feel and turn it into love and support," I said. The anxiety subsided and she beamed love to her person in the other room. "Perfect!" I told her. "Now, imagine she is away for the day. You are not alone, as there are still family members with you. (Your person) is happy and safe wherever she goes and can't wait to come home to you. All day, any time you think of her, you will be beaming love and support to her so she feels it all day. It helps her!" She feels much calmer, happier, as she beams this love and support. I envision Senne going about her day, doing various things, always sending love and support. Then her person comes home and all is well. Senne feels victorious. She helped bring her home safely! "Senne, this whole process we just worked with isn't anything you need to think about it. We're setting it up so it just happens. So even if you worry or are anxious, that automatically transforms into love and support. And it goes both ways — you benefit, too. How does that sound?" She is lying down, gently wagging her tail. For some reason, scrambled eggs seemed to pop into her mind. It felt like she was calm enough to let her mind remember that someone gave her some that morning. I had to leave the conversation for a bit, and wasn't sure if I could just pick things up where we left off. I was also feeling like the process I explained was too tedious, at least for me! I prefer things more simple and made that intention that this process would just work without all the thinking. Then I tuned-in and asked, "So how does all that sound, Senne?" This time, she gave me a big happy bark. She was more animated than I'd ever seen her. There was no anxiety in her expression. "That's great!," I happily replied. "The energy you have now is what (your person) will feel from you all day. I think that will make her very happy." Senne is wagging her tail, proud of herself. "I'll check in with you again soon, okay?" I asked. Wag. Wag. Wag. Wag. EpilogueLater in the day, Senne popped into my mind. The focus was on her heart, which felt tight during my first conversation with her. This time, I got the feeling it was loosening. It felt like a tightly closed flower had started opening a little. But not in a way like she has a closed heart — because she doesn't. More like it's fearful or anxious and has tightened over time to protect itself. But now it is unfurling a bit!
