leadership & respect. The deep bond between horse & human is simply
exhilarating to the very core, it uplifts the spirit of beyond expression, it
rejuvenates the soul, it enlightens the downtrodden and brings gives relief to
the weary.
There’s
no mistaking a happy horse that lives in the comforts of safety and peace.
Their joyful spirit is undeniable... the welcoming calls of their whinnies as they see
us approaching, the tenderness of their hugs as they wrap their mighty necks
around us, the welcoming kisses they freely give and the comfort healing power
of their spirits heals the heart and soul… these are just a few of the powerful
attributes a special horse brings into our lives if we but delight in them as
we too desire and crave to be treated.
If you
open your heart and soul to allow your spirit to connect deeply with your
horses spirit by loving and respecting them as you would a child you will
create a deep spiritual relationship that will span the test of time. Leave
your worries and cares behind the moment you walk into the barn.
Be entirely in
the present moment by connecting your body, mind and spirit when you're with
your beautiful horse. Allow your whole self to be the current moment as you
enjoy the precious time you share with you equine family member and friend by focusing only on your body language, thoughts and feelings of your horse as you spend time with him or her.
As you do you will be able to quiet your mind which will allow your heart to open to hear the thoughts
and feel the high, loving energy of your beloved equine friend, and soon you will hear the
whispering so your horse's heart just as he does with you. It is an enchanting
experience that will change your life forever, but you can only experience this if you are 100% in the present moment.
So
today make it a point to be in the now as you spend time with your beloved
equine friend and feel the love of your horses’ spirit to connect with him more
deeply and powerfully than you ever have before.
