Day 5 of the epic ride. Dust and salt bush is about all that's here, horses are not happy!
Stunning scenery though.

Notice the sensation

Name the feeling

Experience the feeling

Ask yourself, what does this feeling need right now?

What do I need right now?

Repeat

This is the work of awareness, of turning toward our experience and showing up for ourselves time and again. It’s how we build self trust. It’s how we develop an understanding of ourselves. It’s how we learn to be fully alive.

When our children have big feelings it is not our job to stop the feelings from happening, it is our job to allow the feelings to unfold, to ride the wave of emotion with them (without allowing it to pull us under), and anchor them with our presence.

So very true.

Imagine a relationship so honest and so pure, you were safe to be your whole self, perceived warts and all. Imagine a relational other who wanted no more from you than your connection, to be seen and heard and who sees and hears you in return. Imagine a place where you are so at ease with yourself and with life that the real you begins to shine through, the you who has been kept hidden away for so long, the you perhaps YOU haven’t even met yet. Imagine what might be possible when you invite such love and acceptance into your life.

Equine Assisted Learning and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy can support clients to experience safe relationships such as this, alongside horses, free from judgement or criticism. For some, this is their first experience of safe relationship and the first step on the path to healing.

And so the Winter sessions begin....

Recent studies conducted by the Institute of Heart-Math provide a clue to explain the two-way ′′healing′′ that occurs when we're close to horses.
According to researchers, the heart has an electromagnetic field larger than the brain: a magnetometer can measure the energy field of the heart that radiates from 2.4 meters to 3 meters around the human body.
While this is certainly significant, perhaps more impressive than the electromagnetic field projected by the heart of a horse is five times larger than that of a human being (imagine an electromagnetic sphere around the horse) and it can influence straight into our own heart rate.
Horses are also likely to have what science has identified as a "coherent′′ heart rate (heart rate pattern) that explains why we can feel better when we're close to them. Studies have found a coherent heart pattern or HRV to be a solid measure of well-being and consistent with emotional states of calm and joy-that is, we exhibit such patterns when we feel positive emotions.
A coherent heart pattern is indicative of a system that can recover and adapt to stressful situations very efficiently. Many times, we just need to be in the presence of horses to feel a sense of well-being and peace.
In fact, research shows that people experience many physiological benefits by interacting with horses, including lower blood pressure and heart rate, higher beta-endorphins (neurotransmitters acting as pain suppressors), decreased stress levels, decreased feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, better social working; and greater feelings of empowerment, confidence, patience and self-efficacy.

Pause

Exhale

Let go, if only for a moment, of anything you are carrying. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally...

- The pressure of today’s to do list.
- The weight of your own expectations.
- The noise of others’ opinions.
- Your ideas about how things should be.
- The need to be any different to the way you are right here and right now.

Take a moment to put down whatever it is you are carrying. Yes, it’s heavy. And yet, it might be scary to let go. Try anyway. You can pick it straight back up again if you need to.

Just pause.

And trust.

For a moment.

That the weight of the world isn’t yours to carry.

It never was.

And it never needs to be.

You are here only to be you.

Perfectly. Wholly. Entirely you.

No more and no less.

Anything that doesn’t support this wasn’t yours to begin with.

Let it go.

Be you.

And trust.

That the world will adjust.
