Yesterday Aspen and I put in some much needed saddle time. My boy had gotten lazy! He did not want to give me a canter to save his life. By the end of the ride he gave me this look like, "Dang ma that was actual work". Today I could feel the effort we both put in within my own body. That beautiful feeling that yes we did some actual work. During my yoga practice this morning the word I used as my intention for today was productivity. As I flowed I reflected on this ride. The productive energy it brought to Aspen and myself and how it mirrored my own spiritual journey. Aspen and I have ridden pretty consistently in the pasture mostly ba****ck over the winter. Thru the winter I've worked my spiritual path for wellness daily in my solitary space. Both actions kept the mechanics moving along. For Aspen and I the right environment and equipment elevated us back to a standard where we can start to really grow again.

Today hitting my yoga mat brought the same results for my internal growth. I've stayed physically and spiritually active through the winter but haven't really stayed diligent with my yoga practice as a part of my spiritual journey for growth. I felt the tension points in my body release along with my energetic body as I operated in that beautiful mind, body and spirit space on my mat. A simple 20 min morning flow brought so much perspective.

In life how often do we just move through doing enough to stay "ok" but not truly taking the space to use the right tools so we can really do some work? Those peaceful easy ba****ck pasture rides are awesome! Even more so are those slow building, focused rides that take total mind, body, spirit and horse connection. That space is where you feel the effort and growth the next day!

Today the herd and I send you Reiki that you find your own productive energy to pick up your proverbial mat or saddle and do some deeper work on your own spiritual journey. Creating new energy within to find balance in productive work, play and rest💜

It's been a good while since Willow and have had the environment to really ride and work the way we love. Yesterday she really started to open up during our ride operating from her place of confidence giving me some of that steady controlled effort I love from her! Feeling her relaxed and wanting to give me all was a beautifully freeing moment. It left me reflecting on environment. How often do we feel unable to give our all because of our environment? Work, home, relationships or even our inner personal relationship are all affected by our environment. Sometimes we're able to remove ourselves sometimes that's not the solution. So how do we navigate wellness when we are in an environment that isn't fostering our growth? BOUNDARIES!! Setting and holding clear boundaries is such an important part of navigating life on our terms not the terms others have set. With horses and with humans setting clear boundaries also creates a feeling of safety, which ultimately allows the energy of growth to be present. In my life I have ignored my own boundaries, compromised my comfort always leading to a feeling of unease within myself. Once I learned how to confidently say no, so much changed in my life. I've learned that choosing our environments isn't always an option, so making sure clear boundaries of what is acceptable within that environment should be held. When the environment changes sometimes you get to relax and not have to hold such firm boundaries when that shift takes place it's like a breath of fresh air for your internal emotional muscles to relax and you suddenly find yourself giving your all again, staying collected while nailing the trot!
Today Willow, the herd and I send you Reiki for reflection on your environments. May it help you see where your peace flourishes and also where your boundaries are necessary to preserve your peace, all while allowing the Reiki to facilitate beautiful retrospective for new growth for each of you! 💜

Yesterday before we rode Angel was working thru some of her anxiety centered around riding once we approached the mounting block. As I began to Reiki her she relaxed into me, allowing me to bend and stretch her body at the same time helping her release even more. It had been since new years eve her and I have ridden, yesterday I asked her if she wanted to ride and when she came to be bridled, the beauty of the choice sat so powerfully with me. Our bond is one that I will always cherish so deeply, my beautiful Angel Lynn💜
