Some
areas that can be helped
include:
- Respiratory
ailments
- Fertility
issues
- Total
body energy
- Digestion
- Emotional
or behavioral issues
- Spinal,
bone, muscle concerns
- Pain
relief
- Dying
To
help animals accept the new
sensations in a session, it is
important to make the
atmosphere as safe and secure
as possible. I suggest feeding
them and perhaps exercising
them before we begin.
By
working with specific energy
locks along the body, the
body's energies can be brought
into balance, promoting
optimal health and well-being.
It is a valuable complement to
conventional healing methods,
inducing relaxation and
reducing the effects of
stress.
These
meanings are universal
therefore if a SEL helps you
to be flexible, then it will
not only help with body
stiffness, but also will
backing down rigidity in yor
thoughts and emotions. The
same Safety Energy Locks that
help you with your stiffness
can help your old dog to get
up stairs easier, or your cat
to try new food. Safety
Energy Locks up and become
blocked when they are
stressed, abused or
overloaded.

The
Vicktory dogs meet Jin Shin
Jyutsu
If
somebody ever decides to hold
a national Jin Shin Jyutsu
competition, don't expect a
packed stadium of fans in body
paint and team colors. As
Adele Leas says every time she
describes Jin Shin Jyutsu,
"It's not a spectator
sport."
Adele
has been to Best Friends many
times to use her skills in Jin
Shin Jyutsu to benefit the
animals. Jin Shin is a
centuries-old practice that
helps bring the body back in
harmony with itself. Once in
harmony, the body can release
pain or tension and begin to
heal faster. The easiest way
to understand Jin Shin,
though, is to see it in
action.
The
upshot of Jin Shin Jyutsu
sessions is that an animal
will slip into a state of
deep, deep relaxation. Often
they'll fall asleep. Jin Shin
works with energy blocks
located throughout the body. A
trained practitioner learns
how to manipulate these energy
blocks to create healing and
relaxation. Jin Shin Jyutsu
has been used for hundreds of
years on people, but Adele is
a pioneer when it comes to
using it on animals. Three
times a year, she comes all
the way from New Orleans to
practice Jin Shin around the
sanctuary. During her most
recent visit, she focused on
the Vicktory dogs, rescued
from the property of former
NFL quarterback Michael Vick.
Adele
loved every minute with these
dogs; she says the Vicktory
dogs responded well to Jin
Shin. After all, Jin Shin
Jyutsu aims to release fears
and promote calmness and
healing. Who better to work on
than a group like this, with
the violent past they've had?
Not all the Vicktory dogs were
ready to trust enough to do
the full program. But those
who did made amazing progress.
For
example, Halle (pictured),
used to be full of anxiety.
Adele says she stayed tense
all throughout her first
sessions. But after just a few
more visits, Halle started
releasing that stress and
anxiety through the energy
work. By the end, Halle turned
into one relaxed lump of fluff
in Adele's arms. Not bad!
Adele's
favorite success story is
Ellen, also known as Ellen
Belly. (Ellen loves belly
rubs!) Ellen seems to have
some nerve damage in her face;
the left side of her face is
scrunched up like she has a
bad headache. And the right
side of her face droops a bit.
Adele says that for the first
session or two, Ellen was a
bit leery. But that didn't
last long. After a couple
days, Ellen started to welcome
Jin Shin. She even reached a
point where she'd fall asleep
mid-session.
But
the biggest surprise of all
was when Adele and the
caregivers could see visible
relaxation in the left side of
Ellen's face. In only a week
and a half of Jin Shin, Ellen
was starting to let go of a
mountain of tension and
stress. While at Best Friends,
Adele taught Jin Shin to any
caregivers and trainers who
wanted to learn. Some of
Ellen's caregivers took the
class, so they can continue
her Jin Shin Jyutsu now that
Adele has returned home. And
that's just fine by Ellen,
Halle, and all the rest.

A
session with humans can take
less than an hour; with pets
it takes less time. A dog or
cat may take 5 to 20 minutes
to begin with.
Investment:
$35
/ Session in Red Deer
Outside
Red Deer, add $.50 / km

In
Jun Shin Jyutsu we acknowledge
that all life is sourced from
the "Universal Life
Forces," which means that
the same principles and truths
that apply to work with people
also bring harmony to
animals."
