Students will use muscle testing to help them to scan the energy fields in and around eachother, and to apply corrections where there are imbalances.
 

Day 2: Reflective sensitivity: helping to enhance well-being in animals.
Students will be observing behavioural changes in animals, reflective to the themselves before and after they have received an energy balance.  
They will explore reactions to movement, touch and actions, noting sensitivities in the animal's behaviour, and how these reactions affect their energy. 
The student will learn to scan and balance their own energies to reflect the animals' behaviour and energy, therefore helping to create a positive relationship and enhanced well-being.
Students will learn to become more sensitive to the animals' wellbeing needs: how and where to touch, and how to move them.  Change in sensitivity in the animals' behaviour will be noted throughout the day.
