“Our bodies thrive in the context of safety. This safety is optimized with another “appropriate mammal”. Many people with a trauma history, especially early childhood trauma, do extraordinarily well co-regulating with cats, dogs or horses, as their nervous system through its associations don’t want to be near people.”

Last session of the day and Kelly decided that we would do a job swap. She merrily put herself on the verandah and walked in and about the office, while I stayed on the grass and looked as cute as I could. Apparently, our original positions are where we are best suited.

Horses offer us a powerful lesson in living in the present moment. They don't dwell on the past or worry about the future; instead, they are fully attuned to the here and now. As we watch them grazing or playing, they remind us of the importance of slowing down and appreciating the beauty that surrounds us.

It's easy to get caught up in the rush of life and forget to appreciate the beauty that nature provides us. When we are truly present, we’re fully engaged in the moment and aware of our inner thoughts and feelings. Slowing down also provides us with a chance to regulate our bodies, giving us a sense of mindfulness and clarity.

This week Mr J and I took the time to appreciate what nature has provided with all the wet weather, and how many different types of mushrooms are out there and the beauty. Just like the horses we had become immersed in the present.🍄🪴

⭐ Can you believe we've almost been in business for 18 months? ⭐

We can't! It's been the most amazing ride, so many highs (and some lows...) but the ABSOLUTE best part of it, has been you.

To say thank you to all of our wonderful people who we work with on the daily, we'd love for our existing clients and those who have attended our LikeMinds Co. groups to join us for a (no cost!) day of celebration, food and fun!

The whole IPOT team will be there, we will have our friends from Little Leaders join us with some engaging activities, Dee from Stable Hearts & Minds with an equine friend or two, face painting, craft, games, and quiet zones for those of us who will need them.

If you haven't received your invitation via email - check your junk inbox or flick us an email on admin@infinitepossibilitiesot.com for more information, and to RSVP.

🥳
