Horse Human Relationship
Message From The Horses, April 2023
The horses’ message is simple, they want a relationship with us, a dialogue. It doesn’t have to be about abandoning everything, just the possibility of listening to each other.
Message From the Horses
It is not so much about the activities we do or don’t do with them, or even their living circumstances. Although it is clear that horses appreciate a lifestyle closest to their adaptive needs. These incredible beings are here to develop relationships with us. It is a funny thing about consciousness that we are trying to fit this vast bubble of energy into tiny little boxes called words. And of course these same words resurface over and over, even though the energy behind them has grown and expanded and evolved in a million shimmering little ways.
I have a little idea that horses are really vast souls who come here just for this journey with us. To support our path, to engage with and embrace our ignorance and illuminate the collective human awakening.
Golden Surrender
Golden surrender is a state of being I have been blessed to come into, in the company of the horses. We didn’t create it, because it was already there.
Being Enough
Sometimes being human feels like a conflict between the power of my mind and the openness of my heart. I know that if I allow my mind to run unchecked, making up a story, it will have the power to influence my feelings. Is this the habit of western society, where there are hardwired patterns of thought that keep some people ensnared their whole lives? Patterns of thought like success is how much money you can make and how many others you can influence, or how many objects you can own.
Over time it becomes clearer that this route of the mind doesn’t really offer fulfilment. It seems to, because at each external success there is enough of a boost to take us to the next challenge. The joy is limited however, because there are so many conditions attached. And the conditions tend to multiply with experience! In other words we need more and more evidence in our lives that we are succeeding in order to feel happy.
Although I feel that I have understood the lack of authenticity in this pathway for a long time, understanding is not quite the same as fully living the authentic pathway. Yet this is where the horses are leading me.
Being with the horses isn’t about thinking or deriving joy from an identity. It is a multi sensory experience of living, and opening my heart to it is the way in. Every resistance that arises is met with a gentle, yet pervasive coherence. Just like water. Soaking, filling and teasing apart the superficial web of what is not true.
The truth is that we are already joy, and nothing else is necessary to experience it. Only an opening heart.

Animal And Nature Assisted Awakening Gatherings
Joining the Animal and Nature Assisted Awakening Gatherings is a deeply grounding experience
Every week during the Animal and Nature Assisted Awakening Gatherings, in the presence of the Herd of Light, we open to our most Natural way of Being. As the Horses and all of Nature redirect our attention gently and powerfully within.
They amplify the direct experience of our True Being as a Unitive Field with all Beings. This unitive circulation is our True Nature. And restoring its Vastness of flow within ourselves is a restoration for the Whole.
Sharing Horse Magic, March 2023
Horse magic is an enchanted world woven by horses. We all feel it at some level, at least those of us for whom horse company is a priority! Some of us understand it more than others, and appreciate it enough to want to know more. To make it our life and our passion, and to share it far and wide.
Over this last year it has been becoming clearer to me how much of the value in our relationship with horses is invisible. Invisible not only to the eye, but also to our western culture. That is why it is so readily dismissed in so many situations. It is also why the challenge of bringing it into our human awareness is so tantalising. The joy of sharing horse magic with others doesn’t seem to go away, no matter how challenging, and at times downright disheartening it can be.
Night of the Red Horse
When I was younger I read the wonderful books about a girl called Jinny. She lived in Scotland with her Arabian mare Shantih. In the books they have adventures together that were enchanting as well as addressing hard real life issues.
One summer Jinny was invited to paint in a Celtic ritual. I can’t remember the details, but periodically the mural in the sacred caves had to be repainted. The challenge was for the artist to emulate the true spirit of the horses, which were seen and felt at the ceremony beforehand.

HeartMath with Sam MacLean
About Heart Math
Have you heard about HeartMath? Yes, that thing with the funny name…
HeartMath, a company founded in 1991 by Doc Childre. It is a system of science-based, coherence-building skills designed to use on-the-go to help people bring their mind, body and emotions into balance and connect with their heart’s intuitive guidance. HeartMath is now comprised of two divisions:
1) HeartMath, Inc – dedicated to education, training and advancing the use of their technology;
2) HeartMath Institute – dedicated to research on the coherence of the heart and its impact on individuals, society and now the globe.
Learning the HeartMath techniques is for anyone who is interested in learning how to activate the state of coherence to become more resilient to stressors and open-hearted. Heartmath believes that love is a transformational intelligence, not merely an emotion. And that by helping people activate their heart’s intelligence, we can all co-create a kinder, more compassionate world to live in.
My Mission
My mission is to make a difference in the lives of horses (and pets) and their guardians by creating heart-centered connections that support the return to harmony. HeartMath is just one of the ways I fulfill my mission.
I would love for every horse and dog and cat (and cow, pig, mouse, parrot, etc.) guardian to learn the HeartMath techniques. It is my belief that by giving people the tools to live, work, rest and play from the wisdom of their hearts, we will all together create a more compassionate, kind and gentle world.
