Unleashing the Magic of Healing: A Journey with Horses
At Healing You Sanctuary, both horses and clients are recognized as sentient beings, whole, complete and perfect as they are. The dance of connection that unfolds, as clients develop their unique relationships with the horses, allows each person to begin to glimpse their patterns that are below conscious awareness in their relationships. Time slows down, and they begin to “see” through the eyes of the horse, new possibilities of what they might begin to do differently in relationships. The following testimony reflects this beautifully.
“In my session I noticed there was still a part of me that needed to know it is safe to have a voice when big energy comes up. I saw the big horse standing tall, looking at me. He started to move toward me. I was doing my best to imagine slowing down inside, when an image of my husband and son in conflict popped up in my mind. In that moment, my heart raced with fear, and I could not think or imagine what to do different. I lost my words and my breathing became shallow. To change this long-standing pattern of shutting down with big energy, I was thinking to myself, “I need to be able to imagine it first.” And then the horse grabbed my sleeve with his big lips, which felt intrusive. Immediately, I raised my arm and told him, “I do not like that and I need some space!” Amazingly, he listened.
I felt my body was strong and tall, with shoulders back and leaning towards the horse, rather than my past pattern of collapsed and retreating. He left, and came back, several times. Then he stood by me quietly in the center of the field with his nose on my heart. My body felt incredibly different; calm, clear, and present. I wondered, was he was seeing if I had boundaries? Or was he seeking connection with me?
When I set my boundaries I was heard, and when the big horse came back close, in relationship with me, he came back with softness. What a powerful moment in time. Everything looked brighter and clearer as I gazed at this magnificent being. We did end up connecting hearts and my body now felt empowered. The empowerment to have a voice and set boundaries with that big horse is my new inner model. I now will be able do this with my husband and son – to stay present, to set boundaries, to check in, and to have and enjoy those moments when there is a quiet, soft connection.”
It is a sacred space we hold for people as they access the inner-wisdom of their body, mind and spirit. It is a timeless field where inner peace is restored by warm, resonant relationships.
