Here’s the story of how even a stunned goldfinch was helped with TTouch®. On a warm February day, Boomer, the Wheaten Terrier, and I walked towards our back porch after a beautiful walk in the neighborhood. While on leash, Boomer ran up the back sidewalk and to the porch steps. He went within two feet of a goldfinch on the ground. The goldfinch was on its feet and crouched to the ground. I realized it probably hit the porch windows and was stunned.
I crouched down and out loud, quietly told the bird, “I will not hurt you.” I very slowly touched the bird with my gloved finger. Using the TTouch® philosophy of mindfulness, cooperation, and respect, I slowly moved one finger from the bird’s head to its tail. Its wing tips were crossed on its back. Then I waited. About two minutes later it said “Thanks” telepathically through animal communication and flew away.
I stayed crouched for a few minutes to take in the beauty and peace of the moment. Even Hobbes waited quietly. Thank you Goldfinch for letting me touch and talk to you.
