Shake things up!

I had a biofeedback monitor on my hand and I was watching bubbles go up and down on the screen.

It was incredible to see how my energy shifts could make this happen.

I was enjoying a computer game called "The Wild Divine". It was designed to help you find your still point and then play with bringing your energy levels up and down.

We have that same kind of experience available to us, when we hang out with sensitive horses. 

How often have you noticed when you're all over the place with your thoughts, your horse doesn't want to be anywhere near you? 

However, when you can get very clear, calm, and focused on exactly what you'd like to dial in for that moment, your horse becomes curious and will often crave being with you.

So how do you cultivate that feeling your horse craves?

The first step: Release unnecessary tension.

If your body is stuck, inspiration/ideas/good feelings will ping or bounce off of you.

If you soften and relax, all that you desire can come and settle in, like curling up with a warm blanket on a chilly day.

Breathe out any tight feelings now.

If you can't breathe it out, stand up and shake it out.

Better yet, put on some dance music and let your inner wild child out for thirty seconds! 

Now, how does that feel?

Humans can get very set in their ways so quickly. 

The more you experiment with movement and allow yourself to feel:

silly

wild

louder...

then softer, quieter, Zen-like, going with the flow.... allowing yourself to do and feel more... the more you will feel Alive. Like your horses.

Enjoy this experiment. Go on, I dare you.

And yes, your pony might give you a LOOK (see photo) when you dance around him, but it's all part of the process of playing with energy.

May the horse be with you. Always.
