I thought you might enjoy watching this video about a dolphin that was in trouble and asked a human for help. This is the level of communication I teach in my Myofascial Release seminars. I refer to it as channel 3, which is our intuitive, instinctive, creative side and coupled with our feeling intelligence. Dolphins and other animals communicate with vibration as we do.

MFR can be a great way to “connect” with animals, my dogs occasionally seek out treatment and I have “tried” treating one of our cats who is easily over stimulated and can go from purring to shredding your arm in a millisecond. She is a rescue kitty and although we don’t know what her early life was like, we surmise it was not easy. She has come up when I am working on one of the dogs, looking at our interaction with what feels (to me) like longing, yet when I try to “treat” her, she tolerates it (seems to enjoy it even) for a few minutes, then a switch flips and she swipes or nips and runs away to hide under the bed. One of the most important but subtle aspects of treatment I have learned from her is to just “be present, with no agenda. ” While I have heard John use these words frequently in seminars, my little Callie drove the lesson home. Just being in the room with her, keeping my heart open and letting her “be” with me instead of me trying to give her something she is not ready for, she has gone from tolerating my touch after a couple of minutes to crawling into my lap, purring and pressing against me for half an hour at a time. What a great gift she has helped me be able to give to my patients. Thank you John.

Our Dog loves MFR. He is constantly asking for treatment from my husband (who is also an MFR therapist) or from me. On one occasion, I had just returned home from work to find our dog (a big, cuddly Golden Retriever named Gryphon) limping around the house in a lot of pain. As I approached him, he lay down and “gave” me his leg. I started to do a gentle leg pull and I noticed he had some thermals coming from his tail/sacrum. I gently held his tail and started to traction it and after a few minutes we heard “POP! POP! POP!” I held on for a few minutes more. After we were done, Gryphon bounded off as if he never even had been hurting.
MFR is such a powerful and empowering gift. Not only can we keep ourselves healthy, but we can also help our pets. Thanks John!

Based on one of John’s recommendations, I am reading the Elephant Whisperer by Laurence Anthony and Graham Spence. It is an amazing book about conservation of some of Earth’s endangered wildlife, of communication between species, and scenarios of one animal species protecting, helping another. It brings home aspects of being in channel 3; the importance of being present, calm, aware, communicating on a vibrational and intuitive basis. It resonates well with MFR.

What a wonderful recording of a real life experience between dolphin and human. I felt the resonance as the dolphin felt the human notice, and respond in a helping way to the problem presented. The way the dolphin stayed, kept coming back til what needed clearing occured.
Animals have so much to share with us. I show my clients who have pets how to begin working handson with them with MFR, encouraging them to explore this to help their pets, and also as a way to expand their own treatment and awareness of their bodies and
selves. Feeling releases with their
pets, observing how they respond, can open the door wider in to themselves. So glad you highlighted this experience John!

John,
what a wonderful video. Isn’t it amazing the level of non-verbal communication that exists?
One of the hardest aspects of my job is coming out of this zone to take a patients payment, reschedule them and give them the appropriate handouts. If it was an intense session I can easily forget to give them their receipt.
