Our six-week Healing with Horses Program starts with an online workshop covering the latest grief research the physical, emotional, neuro – science and best practices of grief, so you can wade through fact from myth.
You can’t think your way through grief, and yet that is exactly how most people try to maneuver this process.
They rationalize their feelings, worries and fears and try to talk themselves out of the despair their experiencing, which doesn’t work and is exhausting to maintain.
Grief is work, which is why it is referred to as Grief work.
Loosing a loved one and having to pick up the pieces of your life afterwards is the hardest experience you will ever have in life and yet, it becomes heavier and deeper simply by the way our culture manages (ignores) grief.
The hardest aspect for most people, is their own self judgment for how they’re processing their grief, which is usually full of harsh self criticism.
The healing with horses’ program is designed for you to experience where and how your personal beliefs, actions (or inactions) and mindsets are blocking and entangling healthy grief work.
While we tend to default to overthinking, and second-guessing horses are all about the moment!
They have survived 55 million years by honing the ability to make split second decisions based on what they feel, and sense from their surroundings. Unlike humans who tend to overthink, and second guess everything!
Our neocortex developed, about 10 million years ago allowing us to acquire language, and expanded thinking and analysis, but it also created an inner voice, our ego, that figured it was now in charge.
But that inner voice started to dismiss the sensory environmental messages about safety, protection, security; you know senses that keep you safe!
All that constant inner chatter soon becomes the voice of the inner critic.
As a nonverbal prey animal horses developed a silent method of communicating with their herd that wouldn’t give away their location to a predator. So, the vibrational frequency caused by air movement from an ear twitch, shoulder raise, tail flip or nostril flare are motions that alert and manage a heard of horses to both danger and the governance of the herd.
Our emotions and our emotional state are another vibrational frequency that horses can read, it’s not magic, and it’s just energy.
We have paid a large price for favouring logic and analytical thinking, as it’s dulled our ability to feel and use emotions as critical data we need to thrive.
The suppression of this powerful evolutionary force, your ability to feel and express emotions as an outlet to find joy, and release of pain, grief, and sadness, is diminishing your life experience, as you choke its voice, pour another glass of wine, and paint your face with a smile.
You hear a song on the radio that reminds you of your sister, daughter, mother or father, who has died, and the tears start to well up, but instead of enjoying the moment of connection and memories of warm times, you change the channel and choke down your tears instead.
Wouldn’t you like to be able to keep and hold those warm memories as earned lived experiences instead of having to sensor and omit them?
In death those memories can be too painful to hold, but they are your connection back to your loved one and to the loving moments you shared.
