After co-leading our retreat in Mexico, I needed space to recalibrate. I found it on the pasture at Finca Soley, where I thought a lot about Buddhist teachings on equipoise. About how true balance isn’t absence of feeling, but a poised response to whatever arises.
Mingling with these horses and humans, becoming part of the herd, I watched the horses graze with pure presence.
They noticed every sound. They took in the scents on the wind. They resonated calm awareness.
From time in the pasture, I’m remembering to:
- Embrace the moment with open awareness
- Let thoughts come and go like the wind
- Breathe. And experience breath as a steady, grounding anchor;
- Meet fear, doubt, and joy with similar acceptance;
- Move with gentleness, not forcing, not resisting.
May we step into each day with the horses’ grace—present, gentle, awake. 🐎🌿🧘♀️
Thank you Isa for the beautiful protos and the important life lessons
