“He’s in the closet and won’t come out!”

Many of my people clients ask me to work on their pets. I think the recognition of what Jin Shin Jyutsu has done for them gives them the confidence that it could be helpful for their furry friends. This was the case with Boomer.

Leslie sent me a voicemail saying her cat, Boomer was suddenly acting strange. “He’s in the closet and he won’t come out. He never does this! He’s acting like he’s a bit freaked out. Can you come over??”  She thought that he might have been frightened by the cleaning service that had come earlier in the day but it had never happened before.  

I wasn’t able to come over. I was out of town. But I gave  her some suggestions of what she could do. She was agreeable. She hated to see Boomer so upset and anxious. I had her do the Jin Shin Jyutsu centering hold, the first hold I teach to every Jin Shin Jyutsu animal student. Then I suggested that she talk to him. Explain that whatever had happened to frighten him is over. He is safe with her and she loves him. She reported the next day that Boomer was spending much less time in the closet and was appearing to be less nervous. 

Leslie continued to use the holds for the next few days and reported that Boomer was back to being close to his normal self. I came and gave Boomer a couple more Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments as well. Now Leslie reports that Boomer is more friendly than he’s ever been when people come to her home.

Though I’m always up for coming to my client’s homes to work with their pets, I love to share tips that my pet owners can use when I’m not available. They’re great to do even when you pet isn’t hiding in a closet!
