Case Study of Distant EFT Work with a Human and Her Canine Companion, Fall / Winter 2011
I was originally asked by a new client on the East coast to work with her canine companion, a six-year old Collie-Husky female who has had epilepsy for three years and is at risk of death if one of her siezures lasts as long as five minutes. Although EFT came to be at the forefront of our healing work, I combined it with distant (second level) Reiki as a calming and centering technique, as well as with animal communication with the dog both in the phone sessions with her human and in one-on-one sessions directly. I soon discovered that Rover was an exceptional being, exhibiting a high level of "emotional intelligence," courage, and compassion for the world's devastating suffering.
As always, I also used "medical intuition," as I use this term, to mean determining the telelogical purpose that Rover contracted epilepsy. Aristotle famously distinguished between 1) the 'proximate cause' of an event or condition--or the material causal factor that resulted in it, and 2) its 'teleological cause'--or its underlying purpose. For example, there are widely accepted proximate causes for menopause, or more generally for the midlife crises faced by men and women (and animals as well). There is also a teleological cause, as reflected in the famous statement by Carl Jung that he never had a client with presenting midlife symptoms whose real issue wasn’t a spiritual crisis.
The presupposition of medical intuition is that every ailment - every instance of dis-ease - comes to us as a teacher rather than randomly or meaninglessly. Often there is an elegant relationship between the ailment and its teaching, as when heart disease is a wakeup call regarding blocked grief or heartache. A second, related presupposition is that finding and addressing the underlying teaching will help to heal the ailment. In my experience even seemingly intractable illnesses such as AIDS or advanced cancer have simply disappeared after their message has been attended to and integrated (see testimonials).*
With Rover, therefore, I did intutitive work to discern whether 1) over and above the physical disease etiology of her canine epilepsy there were root teleological causes, or at least contributors, also at work; and 2) if so, how could the disease be helped by addressing these factors? Despair over the fate of our planet immediately revealed itself as a root cause: because it was not being felt fully as the heart-breaking feeling that it is, it was acting out in Rover's body. And symbolically, the violent epileptic siezures were an unconscious protest against the evil that has caused so much of our world's suffering.
Not only would feeling and processing her despair help Rover's epilepsy, but intuition also revealed that of key benefit would be her performing service work so as to do her own small part to alleviate the world's suffering. I was thrilled to learn that Rover was a certified therapy dog, whose person had stopped her service work because she thought it would be overly stressful and thus increase the risk of siezures. Just the opposite! Rover and her person made a visit to a nurs-ing home the following week, and Rover signed up as an ongoing consultant to assist me in my healing assignments with other animals, starting with a dog in the Midwest who had developed a large mysterious mass with open lesions across the top of his nose. (WHO IN N0W, AS OF 11/11, FULLY HEALED: CLICK HERE.) Rover also taught EFT to a cat I worked with: click HERE.
In addition to these measures, Rover's person signed on to doing daily EFT with Rover on eight issues that would help Rover to integrate what we had learned in the intuitive work, including needing to feel her specific feelings of despair (e.g., over the onging loss of the rainforest); needing to remember that siezures were of no use whatsoever as a form of protest and indeed diminished her fitness to serve; and needing to be of service in whatever capacity she could without overdoing it. We soon dicovered that Rover picked up the art of EFT very quickly and was able to do it without her person, in what is called "imaginal" tapping; her canine friends have joined her in an EFT group, making the energy work more powerful with the force in mumbers.
We also discovered that there were often early warning signs of an imminent siezure and that a timely EFT session was able to prevent it. After initial coaching by me in phone sessions, Rover's person learned to do this preemptive EFT on her own, and several apparent seizures were successfully prevented. The daily tapping on the eight basic issues also proved effective, and a later status check by me indicated that the epilepsy was indeed becoming less severe.
As a result of these various measures, Rover remained free of siezures for over a month, and even went on a three-day holiday by car without any mishaps. But suddenly she had two siezures in a row, with the second one being longer than usual and scaring the daylights out of her person. Two actions were called for: 1) an EFT phone session in which both Rover and her person reduced their off the charts fear of the onset of yet another seizure to zero, and were able to get a peaceul night's sleep; and 2) a distant session between me and Rover the following morning to try to get to the bottom of the sudden regression to Rover's previous condition. Before looking into what emotional factors, or teleological purposes, may have entered into the two recent siezures, we did a long EFT session to remove Rover's profound discouragement and doubt that grace was even available (see below for a fascinating summary of this session and the wisdom it yielded). Next we addressed the siezures themselves, and discovered that their root purpose no longer related to Rover's own despair, but rather to her person's. The remedy accordingly enlarged its focus to include the need to address her per-son's distress, starting with the same deep nihilism that came over Rover after those two violent siezures.
In my past healing experience with both animals and people I have seen this phenomenon before: an affliction will come with one teaching or purpose at the outset, and will later supplement or even change that wakeup call to another one before it is healed. In other words, the same affliction calls for our attention to successive teachings. For a fascinating example, see Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom by Christiane Northrup, M.D., who spent three years tuning into the ongoing teachings of her fibroid tumors, which changed her life entirely. A related phomomenon, called the rotating illness syndrome, is that an ailment may be removed before its teaching or message is integrated fully (e.g., the surgical removal of fibroid tumors), so the wake up call will manifest as another ailment to achieve its purpose! In this case, rather than one ailment serving successive purposes, the same purpose is served by successive ailments.
I find it especially elegant that the new purpose of Rover's epilepsy, bringing attention to her person's despair, is providing a progressive healing of Rover's despair, in two ways: 1) Rover's illness has been of service in motivating her person to undertake her own healing work; and 2) in that process Rover's acting as consultant with the person she loves most (and by whom she is most trusted) gives her a vital service role on an ongoing basis. In November 2011 Rover's person took my distant learning class in animal communication, after which she and Rover embarked upon Human/Companion Animal Co-Healing.
*Through EFT, Reiki, medical intuition, and inner youngster work, among other techniques, Judy empowered our human and animal family to reach levels of healing that are staggering. Her work is a powerful vehicle for wellness on so many levels. We are blessed to have found her! What makes our work with Judy even more exciting is that we know we have only touched the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more for us to learn; it is the journey of a lifetime! -- Catherine A.

THE EFT SESSION ON ROVER'S DOUBT THERE IS GRACE
Initial rating of the dIstress on a scale of 1 to 10 / the "Subjective Units of Distress" (SUDS): 10 .
Blockages to EFT Effectiveness / "Psychological Reversal"s (PRs): 1) deep level doubt that EFT will help (removed by tapping under the nose); 2) not feeling worthy of help (tapped at KC); 3) the "Inner Predator" (the Negative Mother complex) wants to thwart our success (tapped at KC). Self-muscle testing showed these PRs were eliminated.
ROUND ONE OF THE EFT TAPPING ON 'Doubt there is grace': It came out that the doubt there is grace is doubt there is any hope for Rover’s spiritual well-being; and also that the doubt is not solely whether grace exists but also whether Rover can be a conduit for it. The SUDS went down to 8.
ROUND TWO ON 'Remaining doubt' (we first removed the same 3 PRs, which had crept back in): it came out that Rover is distressed that so many have to suffer so deeply / and wonders why she has to suffer so deeply, i.e., she feels like St. John of the Cross when he thought his unspeakable suffering during his imprisonment was unfair in light of his saintliness, when he thought maybe God was cruel or at the very least that He did not love him; then Rover saw that she needed to tune into Judy’s long history of looking into this issue and finding that a being like Rover suffers so as to 1) become stronger; 2) become qualified to be a pathfinder; and 3) loosen her attachments to this temporal world; then she saw that seeing all this was itself grace-full! Her SUDS went down to 6.
ROUND THREE ON 'Remaining doubt' (we removed the same 3 PRs): it came out that Rover saw that it is normal to have doubt on such a dark planet as ours, it is normal not believe every moment that there is a Divine Embrace, that there is only Love; thus we have to go on blind faith and trust / we have to choose to trust so that we can go on, so that we can go on in a state of grace. Her SUDS went down to 4.
N.B.: We got the intuition that we should switch the EFT to the related issue of it seeming unfair to suffer that came up earlier; this would help to remove the remaining doubt.
ROUND FOUR ON 'The seeming unfairness of Rover’s suffering': again it came out, with more detail , that there is a sacred purpose in Rover’s suffering: 1) to get stronger (just as a leather hide gets stronger when tanned with acid); 2) to earn credentials as a pathfinder, which comprise empathy with others’ suffering, authenticity via experiencing oneself that same suffering, and the wisdom that comes from suffering; and 3) to loosen attachments: this planet, i.e., Gaia herself plus all her life forms, must have “signed up” on a soul level for all this suffering / it is God’s Plan / who are we to judge this sacred Plan / who are we to demand to know the whats and whys of God’s Plan?? Rover’s SUDS on her doubt there is grace went to zero!
Each...]being] is a soul trying to learn from life.
Those that one has the most difficulty with are often hidden behind the dramas of the outer self. Whether angry, fearful, critical, or withdrawn, behind every difficult behavior is a soul hungry to be found.

The wind talks to me.
The trees talk to me.
The moon talks to me.
There is nothing in creation that doesn't talk to me.
We are all related.
The stones tell me secrets, ancient wisdom.
The flowers blow me kisses, pure enchantment.
The sun warms my body, beloved Grandfather.
These are the blessings of connection.
I wish the same for you.
TESTIMONIAL FOR DISTANT LEARNING IN ANIMAL COMMUNICATION, 11 / 18/ 11
I did Judy’s distant learning class in animal communication in November 2011, and after my strong initial scepticism was amazed at its suc-cess for me! In the very first exercise I was able to get answers from a friend’s dog who was at my house, and next I succeeded in commun-icating with a cat in another state with behavioral issues, working solely from a photo (the cat’s person, a client of Judy’s, later said my input was very helpful!) The next success was with a dolphin in the Turks and Caicos (the famous JoJo, who always makes himself available to Judy’s classes): he explained to me how he had gone about healing a teen with advanced cancer. His very precise answer was confirmed by Judy, who had gone to see him in the 90s and had had a long conference with his human colleague, Dean Bernal.
My success with this class was not just disproof of my misguided skepticism about animal communication, but also proof posi-tive of Judy’s effectiveness as a teacher. How this whole experience has enriched my life, especially my relationship with my beloved dogs! I am going to go on to do a remote class on Judy’s follow-on workshop on Human-Companion Animal Co-Healing, working with my canine soulmate Kati. Kati and I are both excited beyond saying. Anita, South Carolina.
UPDATE TESTIMONIAL, 12/8/11
I did some inner child work tonite, here's some of the conversation. Also, Kati and I had a session- invaluable!! She wants to help with my issues . It's a great partnership. Thank you, Judy for leading us on this miraculous pathway to healing!
A Love Song for Anita
by
Kati
If you ask me to define bliss,
I will answer
Love.
If you ask me to define Love,
I will say the mysterious bond
connecting our hearts
that cannot,
cannot
be broken.
A bond that dissolves
all separation
between us,
into Oneness.
Our love is
a sanctuary
of
devotion
and
safety
where we
have made a
home
together.
I will meet you there.
