Feeling smothered and desperate to escape to find peace, but holding a need to be taken care of.

Its my birthday today and I had plans to rest and spend time alone, in peace.

Instead my nervous system (body) bought up something that changed my plans.

This last week I have been feeling a nervous vibration in my body. Doing what I do I was fully aware it would come to the surface to be dealt with.

Today it did.

This last year I have been dealing with life changing situations.

The break up of a 30 year toxic relationship and working through 'Fractured Reality '.
The selling of the family home and the associated need to ' Feel safe'.
Not knowing what the future holds and Trust in the universe that everything is happening for a reason.
Managing the grief of 'loss '.
Acceptance of the financial situation and understanding the difference between what you think you need and what you really need.

I am out the other side and looking forward to my new adventure on my own in peace. Or so I thought.

The process of dealing with trapped emotion or emotional wounds is like peeling an onion. My next layer came up this morning and it was related to my plan to be 'alone' today.

Humans are not designed to be alone, we are built to form attachments from birth. My instinctual self had raised what was at the bottom of my feeling that I needed to be alone to feel peace.

This is actually a trauma response, flight mode.

As a child my pattern, or coping mechanism was formed that I only felt 'safe' in my own space. Yet my instinctual self needed the attachments.
The outcome being my body's response of bouncing between 'Feeling the need to escape but holding a need to be taken care of'.

I changed my plans this morning, got in the car and went to see my 'community '. The horses and the people that make up EquineCoach.

On arrival Frosty was on the farm track having some grass. The perfect space to work through what was needed.

I applied exactly what we teach at EquineCoach, the lessons from the horses. I got into the present and into the felt sense and worked it through.

During the work I felt another energy, Tiger was with me.
Tiger represents joy of life and he was simply supporting over the fence.
What I wasn't aware of at the time was that Becca had opened the gate to allow Tiger out for some grass, but he had chosen to stay with me and support my work.

As I released what I was holding and felt the vibration changing in my body, I felt the block in my pelvis and root. Energetic blocks here are caused through loss of joy of life, feeling unsafe, worries over the future and include financial concerns.

Tiger was indeed the perfect herd member to support the release of a block in this part of the body.

The power of the horses and how they are drawn to rebalance that which is out of balance. Each one of our herd is drawn to rebalance something different based on their own life experiences and personality. I hadn't recognised my own root block, until I started working on myself, but Tiger had.

I am now home, enjoying a quiet afternoon. The difference being I am enjoying my own space in a healthy way. Peace is not found by 'running away ' or in isolation. Peace is found within yourself and the power to be peaceful no matter what is going on around you.

Just because I do the work I do, it doesn't mean I dont have my own journey to continue. But without the herd, my community and my experience and knowledge, I probably wouldn't have gotten through the last year unscathed or in balance.

I made a choice today. To stay home in isolation and feel unhappy, or to do something about it. I chose the latter.

I am grateful I have the tools and support that means I can make that choice.

EquineCoach is here for people who make the choice, but maybe dont know where to go for the next steps or those not knowing how to make the choice or fearful to do so.

I feel comfortable enough with myself to openly share my story today because I trust. And if my story resonates with just one person who goes on to make the choice to change, then its done the job.

I look forward to my chocolate cake I am having for my birthday treat this evening.

You are not alone x

Online sucess 😁

A lovely review from a client I work online with due to her location.

We have combined sessions with her 2 ponies as well as Somatic work.

Thank you 🙏

Get in touch to understand more on how we can help you either online or with your own horse, or even a combination.

Isolation

There is a western world pattern forming of people wanting their own space outside of a family or community unit.

We all want our own place of peace but Isolation can lead to emotional well-being issues after time.

There is a big trend in relationship breakdowns, Im going through that myself and so it seems are many people I know.

There is also a trend of young women deciding that a single life is preferable.

Why is this happening? We dont have all the answers, but research I have been doing suggests some of the following.

- Young people's experience of the family home being of stress or overwhelm, unhappy parents and not wanting that for themselves.

- The increase in social anxiety and emotional trauma impacting relationships.

- Lack of Emotional Intelligence of a partner leading the other to decide they no longer want to be a partners councillor, parent, emotional carer and similar.

Humans evolved to build attachments and live in communities in order to 'feel safe'. As children, attachments are made for survival. When we move to Isolation our instict can cause us to start living in survival mode, on the edge.

Modern living, working at home and advancing technology takes us further into this space.

The good news is there is also a growing realisation and a move for some to live in a more community based arrangement.

Emotional trauma, left unresolved is leading to more people in social isolation. The longer this goes on the harder it is to socialise.

Some people have the need to control their environment due to trauma and feel this can only be done by living alone.

It has been interesting for us to notice the increase of young people feeling uncomfortable or anxious at the thought of joining group workshops and preferring to come along and spend time with the horses alone.

We understand this at EquineCoach because we understand what is happening in the body to make people feel this way.

In order to help people that are uncomfortable or anxious in coming along to our centre, we are offering online sessions to help build confidence or start their healing journey in the 'safety' of their own space.

Online sessions still teach everything the horses teach and can gently build confidence to visit the centre at a future date.

These sessions will focus on education; why am I feeling this way; what is happening in your body.

Teaching real techniques to work in the body with the felt sense to empower and start dealing with trapped emotion.

Building resilience.

Sessions are at your own pace. Working in the body is like peeling an onion, a layer at a time. We never skip layers or try to deal with something not yet ready.

No judgement, just support and guidance. Just as the horses teach.

We can also support people who are struggling with the behaviour of a partner, friend or child who is dealing with emotional trauma. We understand how challenging it can be in an environment with someone who has emotional issues.

Get in touch to understand how we can help with online sessions and what a session may look like for you.

Everyone is an individual and every step is tailored to you.

And you can still meet the herd via video 😁

We also have experience of working with you and your horse via video call.

When fear stops us 'living'.

Sessions often start in one direction and end somewhere very different.

When we work in our felt sense rather than listen to our internal narrative we can become aware of what our body is really holding rather than what we 'think ' is an issue.

Humans feel the need to 'label ' and put in a box and 'treat' the symptoms.

Those labels can often make us feel better, as the unknown becomes the 'known'

But they can also prevent us from exploring whats underneath the symptoms.

Feel more, think less is our approach at EquineCoach. Its what the horses teach us.

By feeling and working with the body sensations in a Somatic way, we can re learn how to engage with our instict.

Today a session that started as looking at 'stress' became about fear. Fear of living the life our dreams want to take us, incase something happens that would mean we could loose the dream.

A similar concept to not wanting to love incase we get hurt.

Instinctual fear is a mechanism to keep us safe, our body's warning system. But when we allow our internal narrative, built on emotional trauma, to interfere, we can override that instict and live in fear.

Over time fear, although uncomfortable, becomes the 'known' which we believe keeps us 'safe'.

We end up living in survival mode rather than living life as it should be.

We then feel stuck and emotional symptoms lead to physical ones.

The horses remind us to be present. To remember the joy of life. To let go of fear and simply be.

I needed a reminder of that lesson myself today.

My wonderful client was so very brave to work so deeply in the body today and get to the root of the internal block she had unintentionally set in herself.

I look forward to the next session where we can continue to work on freedom.

Watch this space for details for the March workshop.

The second is supporting an association in the Equine world with well-being initiatives for their members.

March is going to be an amazing month.

Ill post more as dates and events are available.

Out of the mouths of babes.

One of my most amazing clients is an 11 year old boy. Parents permission to post about the session.

My client is having sessions due to emotional overwhelm. He is making amazing progress and has this incredible ability to take our lessons and apply directly to situations he is in.

A school visit has been made by parents to get teachers on board with his situation and what support he needs.

He struggles with the noise of 30 unmanaged children in his class.

This week we were learning new techniques to help him cope at school. He openly talks about teachers emotional energy. In one comment, when I asked if he felt able to put his hand up and let the teacher know he was struggling, his response was....' I decided not to, because her anger energy would have been directed at me, and I seriously didn't want her stuff'.....

He also suggested I could ask the school if all the teachers could have sessions like him.

We went on to discuss how he can recognise and 'let go' of emotional energy that he has absorbed from others.

He immediately informed me that he always knows what he has absorbed as when he goes into his felt sense he sees that energy as a different colour to his own. So he sorts it and releases it out of his mouth. All this was so very matter of fact.

In the same session he wanted me to understand 'that people are not bad people when they are angry, they just need help to deal with their issues. We should love everyone and they would feel better '.

What a lump in my throat. Such a wise old man in a child's body.

And he is right. If everyone could be aware and understand how our emotions effect others and become responsible for dealing and not projecting, what could the world look like?

It is becoming a problem though in schools, workplaces and family environments.

Let's be the generation that stops putting our stuff on the children, and them becoming the same adults as we are.

He then decided he wanted to tell me how each of our horses made him feel. And boy! Did he totally get their individual energy spot on!
He made me chuckle with Coco. 'Coco can be grumpy sometimes, but underneath he quite a good sort of horse really ' 😆

If your child or you needs emotional support, education and techniques to make that happen, get in touch.

Equine Facilitated Learning, Somatic work and Forest style therapy. Fully insured.

I can't say how my little client makes my heart soar with pride and love.

What a wonderful human being he will become ❤️

I am grinning at this wonderful review for my other part of my business Life - Reiki Energy Healing .

Some of the work to assist Olly was in tandem with his human.

Techniques she could use to help him manage his emotions.

How she could project quiet confidence in her energy that he could trust.

So proud of Olly ❤️

Such a wonderful review 🙏

Fully qualified and Insured equine, small animal and human Reiki Practitioner.

Reiki can have such a positive effect on well-being, but can also help dealing with or understanding animal emotional responses, as in this case.

Do get in touch to understand how your Equine can benefit.

Maybe you have an issue you cant get to the bottom of, or just want to understand your Equine better.

Yard visits also available for multiple horses.

I love the work I do, even more so when the benefits are so tangible.

Wel done Olly ❤️

Had an unexpected nap in the straw with 3 of the horses tonight 😴

Obviously needed after a full on week, with 6 sessions in under 24 hours over the weekend, the cleansing session last night and further sessions booked before the end of the week (phew, just as we like it 😁).

As always, time out with the herd works wonders.

Thank you Frosty, Tiger and Coco for watching over me 😁

(Too dark for pictures so here's some from earlier)

Positivity

We spent a chilly, wet but enjoyable evening with the herd.

A group cleansing session with the team.

We do this as often as we can to ensure we support the horses and each other.

Daily life and challenges effect us all. We do all we can to maintain balance and Positivity as a community to ensure the horses are not having to take on our challenging energy.

I always love these sessions of coming together and embedding our ethos.

The herd were noticeably softer afterwards.

We help people understand how emotional energy effects us and those around us in order to become aware of what needs to change. We support those changes.

Working on ourselves, especially as a group means we are more able to help clients.

EquineCoach is now offering online Somatic work sessions during the colder weather. Teaching the techniques that allow us to work through emotion in our body. Everything the horses teach us.

Get in touch if you would like an introduction online session to start your own learning.

We all need some support and guidance towards a positive outlook once in a while 🦄
