Throughout our Touched by a Horse training program (and possibly if you have done any personal work in your life), they keep telling you several things:
- Trust where you have been …
- Trust that your experiences have made you who you are now …
- Trust that, as the Grateful Dead say, “It all rolls into one and nothing comes between”…
- Trust that choosing any other path … it wasn’t meant to be.
*Well, do I LOVE all the paths I have chosen?? That’s probably a NO!
*Do I realize that ALL paths led me to this program and able to do what I do now? Thats a YES!
*Can I use EVERYTHING I’ve ever experienced to be the best Coach in this program I can be… Well, that answer has to be YES!
As a new horseperson in this stage of my life I know that I have to Trust the Path that I have been on is correct. That walking through life, has been a hard, glorious, intense, crooked and sometimes scary path
Trusting our Path in life hopefully we were on a safe path and trust thay where and who we are and where we have been. Is what got us to TODAY.
But has that been easy that all we have come to learn or know in ourselves tells us that it’s no mistake where we are, where we have been and where we are headed.
– Was it always easy?? NO! … Can I say H*** NO!
– Did we make the choices we did at the time we made them … YES…
– Do we have to accept those choices because there is no turning back or redoing them … YES …
– Do we beat ourselves up for those choices, YES we do …
– Do we wish that it was different and we could have a do-over … YES we do …
– Do we want to find a way to ease the pain of those decisions … YES …
So we have to TRUST that all we have experienced and ALL we have done has led us to be who we are today. And to acknowledge it, we have to ultimately know that to have compassion and SELF compassion – for ourselves and others – we must accept that where we have been may have been good, or it may have been bad – but it can be healed. And we can move forward into who we are and where we are today.
So TRUST-the-PATH – Trust that it might be hard, that you have been on rocky roads or hard places, that you have been on rainbows and beautiful paths, and then back again. That all that we have been is what makes us who we are today!
Do we have UNFINISHED BUSINESS? You bet we do!! Choices we made, and things that never healed, are my REASON and PASSION for doing this work. As a hairstylist I can fix a bad haircut or hair Color. But helping someone to heal a broken heart, or get past a trauma that still rules us, or to get deeper into why our lives and our careers just won’t shift despite our efforts, our therapies and all we have done … we need to look at one more MODALITY.
That is really why I chose to do this work, and what I have learned is yet one more mind blowing lesson, which is that an incredible 1000-lb animal has helped me to learn to heal my past and create my future.
I have done a ton of personal work, therapy, cognitive therapy, court appointed therapy, tarot readers, mediums, healers, theta healers and astrologers. ALL these helped me get through all that I have experienced. I am one of those people that have always sought out someone to help me figure out WHY??? Why Me???? Please help me understand why. But then, I wanted to know if this sentient being of a horse could help it go even farther or add to the experience. And I was grateful that I could actually be accepted into this program to do just that!!
What I found in this program is ALL of this is so important, and actually part of my reason for calling this TRUST THE PATH.
I encourage you to trust your own path, and to trust that maybe this Equine Gestalt Coaching Method can help you unlock yet one more thing to move into being the best you can be – and know that where you are after this work is auspicious, and perfect, and moves you into the next stage of your own path and journey.
Won’t you join me to uncover what the beautiful equine world can reveal to us?
