Stand InBalance Equine Interactive Programs:
At Stand InBalance, we inspire ourselves and others to connect with their inner wisdom and step into balance and authenticity each day. About Stand InBalance Equine Interactive Programs:

Stand InBalance offers a powerful, effective, and cutting -edge model of personal and professional development that combines the intuitive qualities of the horse with the client's desire to learn and grow. Our Equine Interactive Programs offer an experiential, short-term approach that goes beyond the traditional to help restore balance in people’s lives. When we Stand InBalance, we are able to face life’s challenges from a place of calm, inner strength. Horses, due to their unique animal nature, act as mirrors for our inner selves. They provide opportunities for us to develop greater self-awareness, increased self-confidence, and improved relationships – both personally and professionally. Stand InBalance is not about riding or horsemanship. It’s about partnership, communication, and authenticity; and having fun along the way. Working with our professional staff and the horses can help you discover a solution-focused approach to current problems, practice resilience, and live your inner strength, personal power, and integrity. Our programs can help you:

-Stop saying yes when you really mean no
-Have more fulfilling and happier relationships
-Enhance team synergy and effectiveness
-Do the things you’ve been wanting to do instead of just talking about them
-Be the leader you’ve always wanted to be
-Boost your results
-Trust yourself and others
-Let go of frustration and resentment
-Build your confidence
-Get playfulness and joy back in your life

All of our programs include an interactive, on-the-ground Equine Experience at the beautiful and private InBalance Ranch, located in the Santa Monica Mountains. No prior horse experience is necessary. To Learn more about our programs visit our website at: www.StandInBalance.com

Why Horses? Unlike humans horses are prey animals. As such, they are constantly aware of others and their surroundings. Instinctively, as prey animals, their survival depends on their ability to sense any underlying emotional current in their environment. They use their animal wisdom - keen sense of smell, hearing, body awareness, and vigilance - to keep them safe. They are fully present in the moment and require us to get out of our heads and be fully present. Horses are powerful messengers that mirror back their direct experience of humans. They are completely congruent and authentic with what they experience – in other words, what they show on the outside matches what they feel on the inside. They don’t deny or mask their feelings and our masks/personas don’t fool them. Like humans, horses are herd animals and rely on each other for safety and survival. Whether clients are engaged in individual or group activities, interacting with horses provides an opportunity to work on dynamics related to relationships, isolation, asking for help, and one’s role in the human herd. Areas that are commonly addressed include boundaries, assertiveness, trust, powerlessness, and frustration tolerance. All Stand InBalance professionals are EAGALA certified.

This month we're sharing 8 Tricks to tap into your Inner . Here's #8:
Surrender. The word “surrender” often gets a bad wrap. People usually equate it with being defeated or giving something up, but in matters of peace the opposite is true. When we surrender, we gain, we gain peace. We let go of the fight, because usually the fight isn’t necessary. Surrendering, in this context, means letting go of any internal (or external) struggles that are not serving us. Let go of your expectations, let go of perfection – these things keep us in a fight against ourselves, a fight that isn’t worth it. Let go of your to do list, your mad thoughts. Surrender your judgments and your stories about yourself and others. Surrender your grudges and forgive. Surrender your hardworking body and rest. Allow yourself a break, allow quiet, allow love, allow peace. Let go of it all, allow yourself to be open, and surrender to this moment only. Here, you will find peace.

I would like to be deaf to the world's noise,
to hear with a clear fully absorbed mind,
that lofty angelic music -- sweet notes --
tell us that real peace belongs to real love.

This month we're sharing 8 Tricks to tap into your Inner . Here's #7:
Have Faith. Anxious feelings that keep us from finding peace often arise when we feel overwhelmed by the “unknown”. We may feel powerless or like we must gain control of things which we actually have no control over. This grab for unattainable power leads to much strife and certainly no peace. In the face of uncertainty, trust can bring you back to a more peaceful state. Trusting in a higher power, whether that’s God or the Universe, fate, science, logic, love or the unknown itself – whatever you might believe in – putting your faith into something can help bring you a greater sense of peace. When you feel that you have no power or control over a situation, you can find power in having hope. Put your energy and thoughts into positive expectation, into envisioning the best possible outcome and then let it go, in faith. Give yourself the peace in knowing that there are forces at work beyond your control.

This month we're sharing 8 Tricks to tap into your Inner . Here's #6:
Find Balance. Peace lies within balance. You may notice that in the tips shared so far there’s a blend of suggestions that require taking action (yang) and some that require releasing action (yin). Understanding opposing forces of yin and yang within ourselves and the actions that we take can help us to recognize when we are out of balance and take steps to regain it. When we are out of balance, we feel stressed, agitated, off-kilter. Balance within ourselves, our actions, and our emotions creates a wholeness in which we feel a sense of harmony – a peace.
