This session continued on from the first (07-03-2023) working on ‘focus’. Be with one animal / person at a time.
We did quite a bit with ‘regard’ and explored mirroring as well.
Just a note for all – With mirroring we have to be a little careful. We don’t want to be ahead of the animal when doing this as this can become manipulative. We end up asking them to copy us. Always regard and copy the animal to show you ‘see’ them.
We also look at “Accepting No”, and allowing Vie and the herd to say what they needed to say. Part of the video also explores the intellectual side of this with Sheila Cosma.
There were points when we started to understand the difference in the body between looking at something in the distance, and looking at something inside and deciding what to do with it (memories / fears/ anxieties / etc).
A lovely release from Vie told us when the session ended. The release is not so easy to see. It was a let go of some old memories through her body. She stumbles on her back legs as though she is a new born, and then comes to suckle for a bit. It is as though she is dropping all her stories so far, and now is ready to create new ones.
