Connecting Through "Feel" For Equestrians

Yoga, meditation, Pilates, balance ball work and body rolling all help us to become more aware of our bodies, mind and spirit through feel. These disciplines help us to develop feel through touch and intutition, This is how horses and other animals communicate with one another. Once we are able to understand and develop this within ourselves we start to open up not just to our horses, but to all species on this planet earth. We start to better understand in ways some of us never have before. And for some it has been a re-awakening of a feeling we have had many times and perhaps paused and wondered as we take in this familar feeling before continuing on our way, not really understanding why it happened and perhaps hoping it would come back again as we felt a strong, peaceful connection to it. Maybe each time this feeling re-surfaced we started to pause for longer and longer moments hoping to hold on to this wonderful feeling a little longer until it started to become a normal feeling we would start to look for, tune into and use to help us with our daily existence. These are tools that each and every one of us are born with when we come into existence. Tools that lift us to heights we never knew we where capable of reaching. The only way we can develop this relationship of "Feel" with other species is to first develop it within ourselves. You can do this through many disciplines of energy work. Yoga, meditation, Pilates, balance ball and body rolling are among many.

When we are connected to our horses we ride through feel we move as one. The motion is effortless and it flows with a beauty and grace words cannot describe. As though we are engaged in the most wonderful dance together. It is breathtaking to watch and to feel.

If you are lucky enough to be able to watch animals interacting with each other day after day and not only see, but feel their exchange of energy you will start to understand and look at other species in a very different light. You will start to see the ways they communicate with each other. You will know their world is not at all silent, but filled with energy, touch, intutition, care, trust, respect, love and "Feel".

Sally Swift's work in "Centered Riding" celebrates so many disciplines of energy work that humans can and should do to help them understand horses better through "Feel". Her ground breaking work has bridged the gap between so many horses and humans. Learning her techinques will change the way you interact with horses forever, one that I highly recommend to everyone.

Horses mimic a persons walk and movement of the hips almost exactly making them an excellent partner in helping with human rehabilitation. Horses also release within humans endorphins that give us a naturally good feeling that helps us to overcome challenges and osbstacles in our lifes. For these very reasons and so many more are why Theraptic Riding Schools where developed. We need to find a way to let horses touch everyone's life in some way. For in doing so we as a human race will be better for it and so will the horse.

Horse have always from the earliest times evoked a sense of awe and wonder to mankind. One that has taken our very breathe away. Through the years horses have stood beside mankind in good times and bad. Used to help us become what we are today. Many of these developing years life for the horse have not been kind and many horses have given their lifes in some very harsh and abusvie ways. Thrown away when they are no longer of any use to man. Discarded as if they where trash.

Now in more recent times horses have started to regain their status to the eleagance and splender they once knew many years ago. But now the world is once again changing and these times find all the species on this planet struggling for their very existence. But with these times we have learned there are choices we can all make as a collected consciousness to restore our planet earth and all that live on her to a place of peace and harmony. We have the means and knowledge necessary to make the difference. We have within each and every one of us the ability to make it happen, to get back in touch with the "Feeling". Together is the only way.

Join us by helping to find the ways necessary to make that difference. To once again re-connect to our inner selves so we can all become "ONE" in body, mind and spirit as we heal this very precious home that so many of us call "Home."

Yoga
I’m delighted to know, teach, study, and be a friend of Diane Ellis who embodies everything Yoga represents. Diane was a student of mine for years and became passionate about Yoga resulting in her becoming a certified teacher who taught several of my classes. The students requested that she come back to teach again and again. Her teachings and her spirit radiate irresistible warmth.
Diane, as I know her, is a qualified Yoga and Pilates teacher. She also has special training with animals (dogs, cats, horses) and I do not think she ever met an animal that did not warm to her presence. She practices what she teaches in that she is an environmentalist and a vegetarian benefiting her community by example.
