    2024-05-26 to 31st : Turning Pain to Love

    Continuing the path with Querida and her breathing difficulties I felt a sense that we could open another session with Querida (26th). I always ask and wait to sense a Yes or No. Nothing can be forced. For many years she said No. That is okay. We always respect the No. Querida felt a lot…

    Taking a walk with the scorpion

    As you have probably noticed if you follow my posts a lot, I am exploring connecting to the wild more and more : animals, elements, universe, and spirit. Today I thought I would just see what came up in the tarot and follow its lead into meditation. Scorpion arrived. This makes sense with what I…

  • Control only what is yours to control

    Control only what is yours to control

    What is always yours to control is you – your thoughts, your words, your actions, and where you are placing your attention. No-one else is your business, not even your dependants (the animals or people in your care). Your dependants needs are your responsibility, as long as they are dependants, but Who they are is…

    2024-05-24 &25 : Into the Shadows with Neige

    Is this Who You Are, or Who You are being told to be? I feel drawn to Neige today. What doesn’t she want to see? Or what does she want to see, but isn’t? Does she want us to open our eyes to something? Neige had a bout of inflammation caused by Uveitis a couple…

    First, Do No Harm

    One must commit to doing one’s best to eliminate any behaviour or practice that knowingly causes physical or psychological harm to those in our care The Wisdom of Wildness: Healing the Trauma of Domestication – Ren Hurst I would add something to this as well. It is not only about those in our care, but…

    2024-05-22 : Checking in with Querida

    Watching Querida from a physical perspective this morning, she is breathing hard, and there is some coughing. It has been wet and raining again for days on end, making the air damp and heavy. The silver lining of this rain is that the grass is very low in sugars (and a lot of other nutrients…

    2024-05-17&18 : Trauma revealing in Querida

    We have spent a further two sessions in a healing space together as we move deeper into the trauma that is affecting Querida’s ability to breathe deeply and easily. The first session she showed me the pain of laminitis and how it has affected her and we worked through that. This was the easier one…

    Laminitis : The Fix It / Self Abandonment Spiral

    I haven’t written much around the ‘Laminitis’ topic for a while, and this morning I felt drawn to just update everything a bit, and provide a bit of information from my perspective and learning. The one thing I have found prevalent in many guardians of laminitic animals is the need to worry about them, and…

    2024-05-14 Querida starting to release

    It is over a week since we did the last healing session with Querida, awakening her to self-healing. Everything we have talked about in our meditative sessions has been a suggestion that Querida can work with or not. The herd (particularly Timmy) have helped, nudging Querida to accept support and the suggestions. I was in…

    Risada & I looking at Our-selves

    After the last two days of some very interesting journeys with the herd, and in particular Risada, last night I was just enjoying the sunset and Risada came and shared some time with me. It was really lovely. She stayed with me, not looking for the herd, and then she decidely showed me a roll…
