Horse Nidra Event ~

This Friday, we are hosting another in person event for Sea to Sky Community Members.

If you live between Horseshoe Bay to the area around Pemberton, join us for a special event where we gather to@learn about collective neuroscience and the beauty of the subconscious, with wisdom deepened through the knowing that horses bring us.

Collectively, we have been through a time of profound change, and many of us have had a feeling of physical-emotional-mental imbalance from experiences of division, separation, fear and more.

Together, we can collectively heal and restore our communities through a growing intelligence around the neuroscience of intentional rest. Intentional rest has many approaches, and, the approach we bring through Horse Nidra is specifically designed to create lasting change in your nervous system, with consistent practice.

You may have heard of Yoga Nidra, which is a practice of intentional rest. I adore Yoga Nidra, and have been offering it for over a decade. When I discovered a meditative space with horses, I began to deepen into a space that I call, Horse Nidra.

Horses have a powerful way of opening us up to our beauty of our subconscious. There is both a neuroscience and a mysticism to this. This Friday, although we will not be physically present with the horses, you will learn how to access this space, and experience a 45 minute guided practice that you can take to the space with horses.

We are almost full for this Friday; we have space for one or two more people.

Connection & Horse Nidra ~

Whether you are with a horse or not, learning more about Horse Nidra helps you to connect with a more intuitive and energetic intelligence.

The beauty of the neuroscience of the connection between a horse and a human is that there is an intelligence awakened, that helps guide you better through your life.

You become aware of a navigating sense within, that helps you to navigate your life decisions with greater alignment of the truth within you.

You become aware of a way to sense yourself, and another sentient being, such as a horse, that is more accurate and less subject to imaginings separate from reality - and easily created in the busy prefrontal cortex of the human being.

You learn how to lessen projection of your ideas onto others, and instead to listen ti the truth of the moment.

As you learn, in the study of Horse Nidra, how to move your awareness through your nervous system and fine tune it for deeper states of consciousness, you learn how to access the magic of the subconscious - and how to practice this awareness as a source of inner wisdom.

~

Our community offering will be the first of many. Stay tuned for future offerings as we develop the material to guide you through the practice of Horse Nidra. Thank you to all of you using our contact firm on the website, we are keeping a list of the emails of people interested and will let you know when virtual offerings and online self directed teachings, become available.

June 10th, 2017 Conference

On June 10th, 2017, my girlfriend and I attended the first Goop Wellness Conference in LA, California. We listened to many lectures from medical doctor-authours and also many personal stories of healing from famous actresses.

Powerful ways of understanding how the psyche and lifestyle together combine to create profound, almost miraculous healing, were discussed and presented in a variety of immersive experiences. The innovative and changing health perspective was palpable, and great minds in that they are generous, brave and willing to risk in order to improve everyone’s well being, were present.

I spoke with Alejandro Junger MD whose books I love because of their wisdom. We discussed the potent archetype of the Wounded Healer, and how we can be with this archetype, no longer with shame, and instead with leadership.

I spoke with Dr. Habib Sadeghi who later mailed me hundreds of Love Buttons, and whose talk on the male and female sides of the body, with psyche mirrored by biology, has stayed with me forever.

These physicians felt it was important that, in my specialty, I grow and speak to this innovative wellness for healing the mind.

To make this choice, has been somewhat confusing for me as there is the importance of innovation, the traditions that we are professionally held to as doctors, and the beauty of how powerfully the psyche can heal, and all of these must be balanced with integrity and responsibility when you guide others - even if we are all ultimately responsible for our own lives.

A colleague who has been somewhat of an angel investor in my life, asked me a question recently. The question has re-ignited my love of applying transformative innovation, to guidelines for well being, and the photo that my phone chose to show me from so many years ago, has helped me awaken from my remote slumber, to reclaim a beauty of well being that had been lost.

With programs in creation for the fall, I look forward to bringing something fresh and new, clearly into focus, for my offerings. For you, to reclaim a beauty in you, that may have been lost.

Fierce Commitment ~

Sometimes you meet another being. You know, but your conscious mind doesn’t yet know.

Maybe it’s not easy. Maybe it’s complicated. Maybe it seems it can never happen for the two of you to be together, and you - for the first time in your life - have trouble falling asleep because you think about that being, and you can’t forget the feeling of wanting to provide a forever home for them.

That is part of the story of Chance Apache.

He arrived on the ranch. I introduced him over the fence to a friend and out if my mouth came the words, “and I’ll buy him and he’ll be my horse.” I laughed out loud after and said to her - “Well, that’s ridiculous.”

But the feeling lingered. Four months later after almost paths leading to him belonging to someone else, he became mine on the condition that we sign up for 6 months of training, 5 days a week. So, we did.

Then, he became mine. His lovely former owner met me, she was so sweet and loved him so much. He is a well loved horse, social, agreeable, and loves to move to a slow tempo.

He is the Sun to the Moon of my horse Sterling Galaxy, and together they make a team that weathers many storms. Many have commented on a majesty to these two, and they have pulled me to literal heights that I had never dreamed of - they have pulled me beyond, my dreams.

This photo. This day in a misty October. This photographer. This moment.

Can’t wait to ride more as we anticipate less herd bound grief over the loss of handsome King. Summer is coming, the whispers of winter dissolving, here we go.

Love love love you, Chance Apache.

Wouldn’t change a thing.

Chief ~

A photo from one of our past Horses & Neuroscience Retreats, with the horse Chief and a guest.

Chief is a horse, of the herd of Hillary Schneider - who presents an energy of efficiency, of leadership, and of rest.

In his way, in how he is with his herd and with us, he teaches a way of sensing with exquisite sensitivity the energies of others, and finding this awareness to be information - and, as you do this, moving out of the lens of reaction and instead, choosing the lens of awareness to notice the different energies of your herd, so that you can guide and navigate accordingly.

And even when there is a reaction within, to be non-plussed, to choose to deal with it efficiently, and then move forward into the landscape of what is, rather than the landscape of the reaction.

When you are growing as a leader, the realization that sensitivity is a leadership quality, is a powerful shift in perspective that allows you to expand into a whole new arena of awareness - no longer trapped, hindered, or confused - instead, curious snd motivated to move into the “herd” and discover the next wave of navigating challenges, together.

About 15 to 20% of human beings are highly sensitive, ie 1 in 5. While often misunderstood as a flaw, the trait if sensitivity in fact gives leaders a deep capacity for empathy, strategic planning and emotional intelligence.

Highly sensitive people have unique neural pathways; areas in the brain related to attention, action-planning, and decision making are more active. This unique neural architecture leads to a greater capacity to excel in key areas that bring success in business.

With a rich inner world, and a responsive intuitive style of leadership, highly sensitive leaders are key to a future with greater awareness, and understanding how sensitivity can be beautifully useful, is a gorgeous insight that horses bring us.

Thrilled! 2 spaces now open ~

I am excited to announce that we have two spaces open for our prior sold out retreat this September!

This retreat - the Neuroscience & Horses Retreat - is a gorgeous conversation between and her herd and the beauty of the land as we weave in the teachings of neuroscience.

Learn how the language of neuroscience illuminates the beauty of the powerful impact that horses have on us - both biologically and mystically.

Join us for 4 days, and 4-5 nights, to soak in the beauty of this remote mountain valley, 80 acres with free roaming horse herds, and the deep beauty of the power of our nervous systems, in the company of horses, to transform us.

Message us to inquire.

Truly, so excited for this.

Neuroaesthetics: Beauty Heals ~

“Neuroaesthetics” is an emerging field of cognitive neuroscience that studies how engaging with art, beauty, and natural environments physically changes the brain and promotes healing. By tracking neural activity, evidence-based scientific research shows us that aesthetic, ie beautiful, experiences can reduce stress, promote neuroplasticity, and aid neurological rehabilitation.

The Science:

Engaging with beauty through art - whether making art or viewing art - lowers the stress hormone called cortisol and calms the amygdala, shifting you into parasympathetic mode - your rest and digest mode where the body heals.

A beautiful aesthetic experience lights up three key neural networks: sensory-motor, emotion-valuation, and meaning-knowledge networks - supporting embodied awareness, reward and pleasure, and sense of meaning and fulfillment.

Beautiful experiences and art that heals spark more flexibility and learning in your neural pathways - promoting new neural pathways.

Research studies are showing that aesthetic experiences, ie beautiful experiences, support the following:

• neurological motor recovery
• neurological cognitive recovery
• more stable mood
• reduced anxiety
• improved self integration
• better cognitive control
• reduced environmental stress
• greater overall well being
• improved quality of life

When we curate beautiful spaces for healing, personal growth and leadership development, we literally and physically support shifts in our inner neural architecture to grow new pathways that support a new mindset.

When we do this with conscious intention, we can create neural pathways that build strength from within - a strength that matches the truth within our hearts, and the knowing and beauty within our souls.

Striking the Balance ~

We learn as horse owners, how to strike the balance between leadership and empathy, sweetness and firmness, direction and listening, fun and boundaries.

Horses are complex creatures - beautiful, stunning, powerful, sensitive and also require leadership so that they know they can be safe with you.

If we lean too much towards soft connection, there can be a lack of honest authentic boundaries and anthropomorphic projection.

If we lean too much towards firm clarity and direction, we lose connection and the feeling of mutual partnership, and of fun and play.

Between these two is a sweet spot, that allows us to stay in connection with clarity, and that is an ongoing learning process.

Often, we are also consciously or unconsciously healing trauma in our horses, and ourselves, as we reclaim authenticity, honesty and healthy boundaries.

In some ways, being with our horses is a purification, to let go of the ideas that do not serve the authenticity and requirements of the present moment. Yet we have to engage in an ongoing learning process, to be able to perceive the present moment with them, in increasing accuracy yet humbling learning. We also need to refine our discernment between what is authenticity and what is reaction.

The rewards, however, are huge. And this is what can gift us, a certain intelligence, as horse people or those learning from horses.

Today, Apache and I had a beautiful session, where our recent weeks of learning each other with greater balance, came together. We will see what tomorrow holds, but my experiment to take the time to focus on a study and practice of this balance, came into fruition today, and I am celebrating this - something I felt in my bones has been given space to live snd has resulted in what I was searching for, as I embodied an approach that I feel, is true for me and my horses.

In case this speaks to you today.

Neuroscience Faculty ~

When we enter the Space with Horses, there is a powerful language of neuroscience that we can speak to support our clients that helps us to understand the nervous system on a deeper level.

With training in guiding people that does not include the element of listening to horses, there can more easily be a distraction created by the excess logic of the prefrontal cortex of the human being. The excess prefrontal cortex logic can be understood as a kind of noise distracting us from the emotional and/or intuitive truth of the moment.

As the Neuroscience Faculty at the Academy of Horse Medicine Leadership, I bring my love of neuroscience - the anatomy, the physics, the energetics - to the field of deepening our capacity to listen and be transformed by the spiritual medicine of horses, and by the truth of the moment.

With the language of neuroscience and the corresponding physics, we can lean into the transformation that horses bring with the science that supports the more unseen yet profound experiences.

For example, with physics, we know that one electromagnetic field can sense another electromagnetic field. We also know that the stronger electromagnetic field, shapes and changes the weaker electromagnetic field. When we apply this logic to the facts that the electromagnetic field of the heart is the strongest field in the human body - 60 times stronger than the brain’s - and that the horse’s heart field is much stronger than the human’s heart field, we can begin to understand how keenly horses sense our intentions, emotions, and intuitions.

In my coaching and medical practice with teams and leaders over the last twenty years, I have seen greater awareness of the heart field and the collective heart field, lead to significant positive change.

I have shifted my focus to horses, due to the profound accuracy they hold, in guiding us in this Language of the Heart, backed by Neuroscience and Physics, yet also Leaving Space for Personal Interpretation and Exploration.

We have a retreat on Neuroscience and Horses, an online program, and a book. If you wish to explore further, dm us or find us online.

Horses Hold the Energetic Key ~

As I chose this beautiful photo of Apache and the Land this morning, to share with you, I felt what it most spoke to within my heart is the idea of how Horses hold the Energetic Key to our Return to Nature.

Energetic Key

The concept of an Energetic Key is simply a way of speaking to the approach that unlocks a previously sought yet not discovered way of being - an approach that has its foundation in the Energy of things, rather than a foundation in Mechanics or Thought Processes.

The reason this is important, is that by shifting the Energy of things - understanding the physics of the Unseen Energy, for example - we can master a more Subtle Intelligence in responding to, and shaping, the world around us - including ourselves.

Many people struggle with understanding why they are doing what they do not wish to do, and/or have confusion about how their lives are being created in a way they do not wish to create them, and so - we seek the answers.

With the Horse, there is a Connection to Nature and the Land that brings scientifically measurable changes to our bodies snd nervous systems, and to our Energy. Beyond what science commonly measures, there are other beautiful shifts in understanding that occur, that many of us horse guides have seen, and sometimes been in complete wonder and awe at the beauty of the experience.

Our Return to Nature

As Edgar Cayce spoke to, we are at a crossroads where we need to return to nature. Scrolling literally brings on emotional imbalance. Screen time in the evenings literally increase the risk of dementia. Our machines have set a spell, that we need to break out of, to instead become enchanted again by the gorgeous majestic nature around us, and by the spark of enchanting nature of our souls within us.

Now, is the time, and Horses help us remember, and reclaim, our natural elegance, beauty and magic.
