As we start to let go and to embrace the journey of growth and transformation, along with it being exciting, challenging and overwhelming at times... it can feel very confusing and one can feel lonely and lost. Having been through a patch of deep confusion and coming up with lots of 'human' answers, I have started to have moments of clarity. So exciting!
Coming out of lock down, beautiful kids beginning their journey of adulthood, growing myself in my journey, I have been assuming that the right thing to do for me, my family and the animals is to rehome the herd and start over... I have met block, after block, after block... and while having all these 'giving up' moments because 'we have exhausted the land' I have been blessed with wonderful new friends, old friends, coming into my life and supporting the herd and I and what my heart has always wanted to do but my head and ego been too scared, too shy, too nervous to pursue.
Anyway... following an amazing session with an amazing lady yesterday, who randomly appeared in my inbox a few weeks back asking to visit the herd, I have gone full circle, reconnected with my heart, and recognised that my healing work, my coaching and all my learnings over the years are to be shared alongside the herd! They have been looking me in straight in the face. Oh how patient they are!
Yes, we will expand into more land and we will continue to help other horses... and that will happen I have no doubt. I can even imagine a palomino joining us. Will keep you posted on that one in time! :)
The horses have taught me so much about keeping them, about accepting what is, about not trying to find problems and fix all the time but to love, accept and live! I can teach that on and off the mat so why not accept it with the horses. And their teachings I cannot wait to share, not just through my coaching work - which is beautiful with their presence... but also with people who love horses but have always seen them as hard work... or too expensive... or too much of a commitment.... They can be but the moment you allow them to be again.... so much pressure comes off and they become friends.
I truly believe that horses came to us to help humanity grow... giving us a back to ride so we could travel the land and work the land and expand our communities and now they are here to help us return to what is important. To return to our hearts and re learn how to be a Human BEING. In being we hear, we listen, we heal, we love, we connect with what teaches us and grows us and disconnect from all that which doesn't....
We are in a mental illness crises... why - I believe because we never stop, we are so stressed out and so lost in our our stories and heads we have forgotten about the wisdom of our hearts, we have forgotten how to live, how to thrive rather than stress and survive.
This life is a gift.... the moment we slow down, the moment we start embracing being again, the moment we start to embrace this gift.
