Beautiful connection! I work with my 14 year old Rottweiler. He has no space in his hip joints so the warm water is his friend. Interesting how animals know what is good for them and if we create a safe space they give themselves to it.
I like so much this. congratulation.
This is incredibly moving to me - thank you Kendall for the work you do. xxx

- I'm delighted you joined us Kendall. The article about your work and your use of Watsu (one of my own modalities in humans) was inspiring to me. Children (and it seems animals) have sometimes been considered unsuitable for this kind of floating but those of us who have been prepared to experiment can usually report differently! The most suprising to me was working with two teenage boys from a rural community who had never even seen or heard of the work, dropped quickly into 'trance', and just didn't want it to stop. But I haven't had the opportunity to work with animals and I believe that, as any close nurturing contact with them often does, this might help heal the separation some feel from the emotional life we truly do share with our fellow creatures. My much beloved cat loves water but not immersion in it sadly! If you feel inspired to blog here about some of your experiences, I'd love to learn more. Welcome again, Sulis

Thank you for your offer. I do have questions and I would love to learn from your experience. I am in the middle of finals for grad school so I will be calling you in a week or so. I look forward to talking with you.

This group could explore, discuss and learn from each other the many benefits of working in warm water with the approach that humans have potential to recognize the potential for movement and alignment in the physical, emotional and energetic body.
