The Balance Procedure
For People, Animals
​
The Balance Procedure (TBP) is a gentle, non-verbal energy balancing and relaxation technique that brings together a wealth of ideas and principles from the world of energy and personal development.
At the heart of the procedure are 9 Universal Energy Cards, each representing a different energetic principle.
The beauty of TBP is its simplicity. Rather than continually looking backwards, analysing problems or trying to “fix” what is wrong, we bring our attention towards balance, awareness and what we would like to create moving forward.
The procedure acts as a catalyst, encouraging you to connect with your own inner awareness and life-force energy.
For me, this is also where Mirror 2 Your Soul becomes such a beautiful extension of the work.
​
The Balance Procedure & Mirror 2 Your Soul
Animals communicate in so many ways beyond words.
Their behaviour, emotions, responses and relationships can sometimes encourage us to look more deeply at what is happening within ourselves and within the environment around them.
Through my Mirror 2 Your Soul approach, we can explore the relationship between the animal and their person alongside the principles of The Balance Procedure.
Rather than asking:
“What is wrong with my animal?”
we can begin to explore:
“What might this behaviour be bringing into my awareness?”
An animal displaying fear, for example, may encourage us to explore safety and security.
An animal struggling with confidence may bring our attention towards our own confidence, boundaries or ability to move forward.
An animal that finds it difficult to settle may invite us to look at the energy, stress or busyness surrounding them.
This doesn't mean that every behaviour is caused by the person.
Animals are individuals with their own physical, emotional, behavioural and environmental needs. The mirror simply gives us another perspective from which to explore the whole picture.
And importantly, behavioural changes or physical symptoms should always be appropriately investigated, including veterinary assessment where necessary.
​
Using TBP With People
The Balance Procedure can be incorporated into everyday life as a simple way of bringing awareness back to yourself and what you need.
People often use the cards when exploring areas such as:
-
Confidence and self-belief
-
Relationships and boundaries
-
Feeling overwhelmed or stressed
-
Motivation and direction
-
Creativity
-
Emotional balance
-
Relaxation
-
Personal development
-
Intuition and self-awareness
-
Moving towards goals and intentions
Rather than forcing change, we work with the intention of returning to a more balanced state from which different choices and possibilities can emerge.
Using TBP With Animals
The principles of The Balance Procedure can also be incorporated into my holistic work with animals.
Because animals don't need to understand the words or concepts on the cards, we can work non-verbally while observing their behaviour, body language and responses.
The cards may be incorporated when exploring areas such as:
-
Confidence
-
Relaxation
-
Independence
-
Separation-related behaviours
-
Environmental changes
-
New experiences
-
Relationships within the household, herd or pack
-
Emotional wellbeing
-
Training and behavioural patterns
-
The relationship between animal and guardian
The aim isn't to label or diagnose the animal. It is to create another gentle layer of awareness alongside appropriate behavioural, nutritional, environmental and veterinary support.
The Animal & Human Mirror
This is where I have developed the work further through Mirror 2 Your Soul.
Each energy can be explored from both sides of the relationship.
For example, if we were working with the Art of Independence, we might explore an animal that appears overly dependent, struggles when alone or lacks confidence.
We can then gently turn the mirror towards the human:
Where might I need greater independence?
Where am I giving my power away?
Where do I need stronger boundaries?
Where am I afraid to trust myself?
Likewise, with the Art of Love, an animal showing difficulty connecting, withdrawing or seeking constant reassurance may invite exploration around love, trust, connection, vulnerability and self-worth.
There is no blame attached to the mirror.
It is about awareness, curiosity and connection.
Sometimes the animal needs support.
Sometimes the person needs support.
And sometimes supporting both sides of the relationship can create a completely different way of seeing what is happening.
Potential Benefits of Being in Balance
People who use The Balance Procedure may find it supports:
-
Greater self-awareness
-
A calmer, more relaxed state
-
Increased confidence
-
More positive focus
-
Creativity and clarity
-
Greater awareness of personal patterns
-
Connection with intuition
-
Feeling more able to move towards goals
-
A deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships
With animals, the work can form part of a wider holistic approach to supporting emotional balance, confidence, relaxation and the human–animal relationship.
About The Balance Procedure
The Balance Procedure was created by Alan and his late wife Jenny following years of exploration into different complementary therapies and personal-development techniques.
The first edition of The Balance Procedure book was published in 2008.
Their experiences with approaches including Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) contributed to their understanding of how changing our perspective can influence the way we think and feel.
One thing that became particularly important to Alan and Jenny was moving away from the idea that we always need to delve deeply into the past or continually search for something that needs fixing.
Instead, The Balance Procedure encourages a gentler question:
What do I want and need moving forward?
That principle remains at the heart of the work.
Your One-to-One Balance Procedure Experience
Once you have purchased your session, I will contact you personally to arrange your online training/session.
You will also receive your Balance Procedure book and set of 9 Universal Energy Cards, enabling you to continue using the procedure yourself after our time together.
Your session is usually approximately 2–4 hours and can be split into shorter sessions if preferred.
During our time together, I will show you how to use The Balance Procedure for yourself and how I personally incorporate its principles when working with animals and the Mirror 2 Your Soul approach.
My intention is for you to leave not simply having experienced a session, but understanding how you can begin using these beautiful tools within everyday life.
For yourself.
For greater awareness.
For your animals.
And for the incredible relationship that exists between you.
