I have a question for you as we enter the new year,
“What is your vision for 2019?”
Last year I asked you the same question, shared my vision, and offered up a visioning exercise for you to do. Hope you took the time to do something for you.
When I look back over 2018 it was one of my biggest transformational years ever. I committed to evolving into who I’m meant to be, to become my vision, my true nature, not what society expects or dictates to me.
And I’m thanking the horses again; they truly are angels in disguise, my best teachers and guides helping me to navigate my life’s journey.
My journey in 2018 took me on a deep horse quest, to live with my horses in their world. With the intention and very strong desire to understand them in every way possible.
To develop a loving and cohesive relationship that is not marked with dominance or control, but a relationship that is filled with a willing partner, a friend that wants to be with me, feels good in their body, mind, and soul.
So, my vision for 2019 is a year of continued growth and evolving with my horses. Especially Ollie who is teaching me what works and does not work in his world, the horse world.
And oh me gosh, tickle me pink – am I enjoying this new evolving vision quest.
Ollie takes me to a different dimension, interlaced with the spirit of movement and freedom. He has showed me that no matter the circumstance, I have free will and choices that can take me to a better state of being.
That I have an expressive spirit within, though invisible to the human eye, is always whispering to me and gently walking by my side.
More than anything Ollie is showing me that the gift of freedom is mine if I am willing to break out of society’s hold and the need to control. That life is an adventure and meant to be lived full out.
And in that living full out I will be sharing with you what I’ve learned through some new Inspired by Horse teaching/interactive weekend workshops.
To share and show things I’ve learned and experienced from horse, and trusted horse lovers, teachers and trainers throughout my years of building a life with horses.
I
believe we are purpose, have a purpose, and are given gifts or
developed talents that need to be shared. To create a life worth living,
and to fill it with something we love.
Horses help us do that.
They are amazing teachers and are good therapy for what life throws your
way. Just being in their presence keeps you going, often when there is
no one or nowhere else to go.
The time is now, as evidenced in this changing new world, to follow the
call of the horse. To step into your soul’s shoes, what is calling to
you.
Is it horse? Whether you wish to be an equine coach or not. What is your vision, what is wanting to emerge?
The veils of limitations are being lifted, and this is a natural entry
way where the horses are helping us with their amazing gifts once again.
Its a new way of being, both for humans and for horses.
Here is a vision exercise you can use for the year ahead.
This is an exercise using your most creative fantasies, seeing your
dreams come true. If doubts or fears come in, acknowledge them and
gently let them go. Create your vision and don’t limit it in anyway,
allow it to be as expansive as you would like.
You will want to go to a comfortable quiet place, no distractions.
Ideally if you can sit within a safe distance from your horses to be in
their beautiful energy. Or looking out a window and seeing them will
work too.
Bring your journal, scratch pad, favorite pen and paper, colored
pencils, or whatever tools you would like. You will be using these after
you go through the steps below. Play some soft musical tones if you
feel it will help.
Once you are in your quiet place, close your eyes and take a few deep
breaths, go within, moving into a quiet place deep inside of you. You
will be asking yourself,
“What is my vision for 2019?” In answering this question, you want to
create visions that light you up, excites you, because this is what is
used to inspire you in your everyday life.
When you are ready go to your comfortable place and do the following:
- Start with focusing your attention on you, imaging your own personal growth as you most would like it to be. If you don’t know what that is, use your fantasy mind, knowing that you can change it at any time. Don’t hold back. Visualize your relationship with yourself on any level, mental, emotional, physical, spiritual. What does this look like, feel like? What do you really want to experience within you?
- Now expand your focus to include your horses, the relationship you dream of having with them. Allow the relationship to develop in a healthy, positive, joy filled way. Really let your imagination soar, envision your life with your horses as you would love it to be, bliss, harmony, unity. What do you really want to experience with your horse?
- Close with expanding your focus to include your business, the type of business you dream of having. Let your imagination play full out, what do you see, envision your life with your clients, with your horses, as you would love it to be, a business you love. What do you really want to experience with your business?
When you feel comfortable with this process, open your eyes, grab your tools and start writing or drawing your vision for 2019.
Humans and horses uniting, thank you for joining me!
Happy New Year!
