4theloveofjake · I want to learn

I am very interested in learning more on how to communicate with my horses on a more spiritual level. I believe one has to be 'open' to the possibilities and be in the right frame of mind to allow it to happen.
I believe for a few reasons. One of my dear friends was fast asleep one night last winter and was awoken by a dream in which one of her horses was asking for help. He told her in the dream he was tangled and needed help. She was so sure this was true she hopped outta bed and rushed down to the barn in her pajamas. Sure enough, her horses blanket has become unfastened, lopsided and his back legs were tangled. I have no doubt what she told me was true. I was amazed that her connection with him was so strong he could wake her from a winter's sleep to come help him.
Another friend contacted an A/C that a friend recommended and gave it a try. Most of this friends horses were older and had pasts that she really didn't know completely. In a mission to better understand each one she gave it a try. The A/C she used was too far away to drive to and so they did a session over the phone after this friend emailed pics to the A/C. The A/C told her things that she would of had no way of knowing about the horses that my friend did know and clarified alot of aspects of each horses feelings. My friend was blown away with her accuracy.
So these were starting points for me that peeked my interest and I know horses are spiritual and emotional so I would really love to learn how I can become more in tune with them now that I know it is possible. And I have so many questions I would like to ask them...
Thanks,
Sherry

I find the whole concept very fascinating as well and would like to open myself up to learn more. I think there is sooo much out there yet to be discovered if we would just look.

I have a book about A/C and must say find it intriguing to say the least. I would love someone to talk to my horse

and see what he has to say.

I read Buck's book, and he talked about a horse when he was a kid. All he had to do was think stop, and the horse put on the breaks. This was a horse that did not stop, once he got going. That kind of connection is my motivation.
I'm shopping for a new tank heater today. Yesterday I was sitting on my couch and suddenly felt Gunner stressing. It was so strong I jumped off the couch, and ran to the back bedroom window to take a look. As I reached the window, Gunner's head popped up and he started pawing next to the water trough. I threw on the carharts and trudged out through the mud to find my tank heater had a short. I unplugged and removed it, but he still was afraid of the water. It took a few assurance from me before he'd touch the water and drink. He drank quite a bit, and I swear I could feel "thanks! I was thirsty!" Not words, just a block thought.
How many people do you know, maybe even you, that got a gut feeling about something. It's the same stuff, comes from the same place. I think with anything, if you ask, the teacher appears. You practice, you get better.
I'd like to learn a lot more about energy work. There's a clinic in Arkansas coming up, if anyone is interested. I'm talking to them about doing something in Kansas.

Here are some books that I started with. I am like many of you who do recieve very clear messages from time to time and am also interested in learning more.

"Animal Talk Interspecies Telepathic Communication" by Penelope Smith 1982

"Animal Voices Telepathic Communication in the Web of Life" by Dawn Baumann Burnke 2002

"Kinship With All Life" by J. Allen Boone 1954 - I thank Ray Hunt for turning us on to that one!

"From Our Side of the Fence" by Sandy Lagno (don't know the date as I've lent the book out)

"When Elephants Weep, The Emotional Lives of Animals" by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson and Susan McCarthy 1995

I'm really looking forward to this new thread! We all have the ability.... And I hope others that have been afraid to post their experiences feel comfortable to post here and share their experiences.

4theloveofjake

Thanks for those referances SL ! I am currently reading a great book called "Hope, from the heart of horses" that talks about the authors experiences in mind/body/healing work with horses and I am very excited to learn more about it. Last night I closed my eyes and thought of Willow while I was laying in bed. I kept telling her how much I appreciated the gifts she has given to me and how much I love her. I want her to feel like she is home now. This is a horse who at 20 years old was still called "mare". No name, just a schooling horse that nobody wanted to feel connected to. She did her job. She didn't have a human who adored her. I kept repeating it in my head until I had a feeling come over me that she heard me. Once I felt she heard me I fell asleep. Sorry if that sounds corny but I sometimes get an overwhelming feeling that sweeps thru me. I want to tell them all many things. I do tell them, I just wonder if they understand. Thanks again for the list !

I went and found this from one of the old threads - it refers back to "Remmer's Story" where I told of this incidence in the kitchen, and distinctly remembered thinking, "Well duhhhh, Pat!!!"

4theloveofjake

OK, I read this then had to scoot off to feed before dark and I had a little time to think about this ......
Personally I do think that Pat does feel this with horses. I also feel that if he were to expose that belief there would be considerable backlash, some of what we have seen on here. " Oh right, now Pat can talk to horses thru his mind ?" The public ridicule would be enormous. In our modern day society, psychics, tea leaf reader, body talk specialists, A/C's, etc. are more often than not met with skeptisism and disbelief.
As far a s Casper, IDK, my trainer has been a Parelier much longer than I and she says that Casper is one of the most difficult horses Pat has ever worked with. I think I've heard Pat say that too. In my reading I understand that the horse has to be a willing participant. One cannot force the connection. I may be wrong.
I have learned enough from Parelli to be satisfied with it. I came to Parelli as a brand new horse owner though so my perspective is going to be much different than the seasoned horse person.
The fact that it happens SL is enough and the why is fluff but I would like to experience and understand the fluff from others on here.

Most folks that put the time in to learning basic communication already have a very good start. Natural horsemanship is a good start. It opens doors. As the depth of bond grows more doors & windows open but you must be receptive to it. People put up blocks or walls. They think it's crazy or they are bothered by it so it's a closed door.

I love the old book "Kinship with All Life" by Boone.

I've had a lot of experiences that really are humbling.

I'll share this one. My husband had a dog that he allowed to go back to her breeder. One morning at 3 a.m. I was awakened by a dip in my bedside. This is familiar to me. The chin of a dobermann on the beside. Trouble is my male had died 2 years previous & I had no dog at my bedside. I heard my male grumble. My old shih tzu - who was on the bed - lifted her head, her ears flicked up & she sighed & went back to sleep. The female went to my husbands bedside but didn't try to wake him. She just watched him for maybe 10 or so minutes. She came back. I felt her ultra cold nose as she jabbed at my bare leg and then she did a little play bow & danced a little jig. she was always a clown. She make a snorting sound & met my eyes for a long moment then she looked up and back over her shoulder as if she saw something & then she was gone. I called her breeder. Before he could speak I told him I knew she'd passed. He'd shared some things over the years with me so I didn't feel weird telling him what happened. He responded, "My God, she must've came straight to you. She died at 4." (He's in a different time zone... it was 3 at our house).

What I've always found is that animals have a lot less limitations than we put on them. They see & know things that most of humanity are fearful of but then again, they have no need to fear it or be sheltered from it.

PP,
I've heard stories from my own Mom, aunt, grandmother and best friend of being visited shortly after a human's death. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were NOT lying. Shortly after my MIL's death I was in my kitchen grumbling about where my hubby was and what was taking him so long. My son was there with me and he was younger, about 11 years old. He witnessed this too. Suddenly without explanation the kitchen light turned on. This was an older home and the light switches were stiffer and made a "snap" noise when turned on or off. I know it was Audrey, my MIL. She was telling me to stop worrying, my hubby was right around the corner. He walked in 2 min.later. I believe.
I am so hapy to hear that animals can visit too. For so long as a child I was told animals didn't have souls. That was a bunch of crap !

Peeperpuppy

My male dobermann stayed with me for a long while. His presence was so strong my other dogs wouldn't dare come near his 'spot' near my bed. My fiesties working dog would walk in & go completely timid, she'd walk so lightly, as if she feared he'd get her. My first horse, Lady, oh boy. I've never greived so hard in all my life as to when I lost her. I'd been with her more than half my life when she died. Many people including folks who didn't know there'd been a horse up at mom's reported having heard a horse nicker softly & actually went looking for her. She stayed with her 'spot' under the cedars.

If you get to a point that you read them well & they begin to connect with you on a deeper & deeper level... it's a whole new world.

The day before my first horse Deuce was put to sleep, I was crying while I was with him. Very loud and very cranky voice in my head - I'm ready. The next day after he was gone I was sitting on the couch next to my sister and I could feel him there. She kept talking until I waved to her to be quiet. The only words I can use to describe what happened next are totally inadequate. I felt Deuce move through me and he let me know that he was OK. A few days later I felt him again and saw a picture of the most beautiful meadow.

When my kitty Jasmine passed, the next night I was laying in bed and felt her paw on my shoulder.

The morning after Christmas my senior year in high school, I was awake but still in bed when the phone rang. I started crying because I knew that my grandfather had died. A few minutes later my father came in to tell me that his father had just passed from a heart attack while on his way to work.

A year or three after I graduated from college, I was over at my sister and brother-in-law's apartment and the phone rang. I got up and went into their bedroom and started crying. A few minutes later Ed came in and told me that my childhood dog Angel had passed.

When my mother was in the hospital dying, Dusty, who I hadn't had for very long and who tested me every time I rode him for a lot of years, went around the ring at my slightest thought. With a lot of practice, I got so that I could hear Dusty. In the beginning I didn't believe when it was happening. I got an animal communicator out and Dusty told her that I could hear him.

In the months that Scout and I have been together, I have learned to hear him also. The first few times, I could see his ears wiggling like mad. If for some reason I cannot keep him, he would like to be Dan's horse; Dan is his trainer. Although he has been perfect when I have let a couple of my friends try him, he doesn't want me to put my friends up on him. However he doesn't mind the kids riding him. Go figure. He's a great guy.

"The True Unity and Willing Communication between the horse and me is not something that can be handed to someone, it has to be learned, it has to come from the inside of a person and inside of the horse". - Tom Dorrance

Carol, thank you so much for this forum.

sarah

I'm really glad that there is a place to discuss energy work and such things.

I would like to say...

I am a novice on this stuff. I am no expert. I am only sharing what I have found.

I did not start out looking for this stuff. I was led there (or dragged there, kicking and screaming).

I don't believe that the universe chooses "special" people to be gifted generally. I believe it gives us all opportunities and lets us find our own way. Some find the path, others aren't ready yet.

That said, I do know a few people who are very, very gifted. I can only aspire to the level of what they have already found. I believe that they are chosen because they are making or will make a difference in the lives of many people and animals. I am deeply grateful that they have shared with me some of what they have found.

Do not give up if you don't feel much to begin with. It doesn't always come as a flood. Sometimes it's more a drip or a trickle. And trust me when I say that a drip or trickle is sometimes easier to cope with and adjust to than a flood. I had one day of "flood" and it scared the crap out of me.

Pay attention to the little things... like a phrase that comes from nowhere, a flash of a picture that you see, a feeling about someone. Believe in yourself. Stop discounting those things. They can be real.

Sometimes animals or people will ask for help. Go and help them. They will guide you to where you need to be and what you need to do.

Do not hold on to what you get from others. Let it go. It is very important that we do not keep it. We were encouraged to let it go either by breathing it out or from it running from our finger tips, and let the negative thoughts and emotions go into the earth to nourish it. The most effective session I had was when I envisaged all of the stuff I held onto leaving my fingertips like manure or sludge running out. Sounds gross, but it worked.

___________________

I had one day at the Mel Fleming/Tony Robinson clinic where I got lots of messages from horses. I was sitting doing energy work on my horse, not paying an ounce of attention to the others. I kept on getting weird messages coming into what I was doing that I could feel were not from my horse - the horses all said something that seemed abstract to me. For instance, one was, "There are too many rules." What?

This horse had seemed deeply unhappy from the start, but I wasn't sure what this meant. Later, I watched him with his owner. She had lots of rules... and no fun. At no point could he feel like a success. She was extremely strict and took his behaviour as a personal affront. It started to make sense. There were too many rules. Hmmm...

Another horse, in the same session, told me,"I'm the little boy". Oh. Okay.

By this stage I was getting a bit freaked out. Later I had the chance to think back to a conversation I'd had with that horses' owner. She relayed to all of us a dream she'd had about a little boy stuck in a house. He could go from room to room and open the front door but he couldn't get out.

___________________

It may not always be animals that come to you. It can be harder when it's people.

Another time I was working on my horse, sitting on a log in the paddock near the round pen where he was. I had my eyes closed and was soaking up the sun. My sister-in-law come to me (not in person). She and I are not close at all. I got the phrase, "I'm just holding together by a thread". I asked what I needed to do with this. Liver stuff. My gums throbbed (can be a sign of liver stuff and anger issues) I worked on her liver and she left me, happier and calmer. Then my mother came to me. She had heart and kidney stuff. I worked on that and she went too. Then a baby came to me. I don't know the baby. I don't know what it wanted.

I'm not sure that my horse got much attention that day.

_______________________

The energy work will often cause you to look inward before you can treat anyone else.

The energy work that I did with Tony allowed me to learn to let go of "stuff". I spent many hours in the first week sobbing at my horse, who proceeded to bite me whenever he was near me. It was a very trying time. He had something to say to me but I couldn't listen to him yet.

I was able to let go of a cellular memory that I had been carrying from my grandmother (who is still alive), and lots of stuff about my father and my family. It was really important for me to do that.

Once I cleared that stuff I could see that I was so much more than I ever thought I was (I know I sound like a tosser at this point - but true confidence was not in my vocab - I just always faked it). I stopped carrying other people's crud with me. I felt better, I walked taller, my back healed itself after 25 years of chiropractic and physiotherapy, and I stopped my 35yo chronic nail-biting habit.

I am so enjoying reading about others' experiences. Please keep them coming. I am learning so much.

It makes sense, to get clear, you have to experience clairity. The back thing, yes I'm learning about that. Carrying too much pain all these years. No wonder my back hurts. I'm learaning to let it go. It's familiar, this pain. Funny, if it's familiar, it's comfortable and even though it's painful, I clung to it. It's what I knew. Thunder Hollow was talking about reality in gen chat. I think this was my reality. Was.
Sarah, please keep sharing. It helps put me where I need to be, reading what you write. If it wasn't very late, and we weren't having a major winter storm right now? I'd be up there with my horses.

Mandy'sMarty

Peeperpuppy---I sneaked into the barn where Casper was stalled during the Franklin, TN event a few years ago. I was struck by his presence and...for lack of a better word, his "energy". He would not turn to acknowledge me. His butt was turned to the world. He felt like a nation unto his own. I agree with what you wrote about him.

sarah

bit,

For years I have blamed an old injury (fractured L5 and tailbone) on my back problems. I was often so bad that I couldn't walk. I kept my chiropractor and physiotherapist's cheque accounts very healthy - sometimes I was there twice a week.

In fact, the problem was my psoas muscle as tight as could be.

The psoas muscle can be related to unresolved emotions. I had plenty of those! My psoas muscle released itself in the middle of an energy work session when someone was working on my heart and base chakras. I felt huge pain in both of my hips, so much so that I was ready to stop the session, and then a soft "pop" deep in behind my bellybutton. I got up off that table and have not had to visit the chiro or physio again. The lady working on me had her hands on my heels. That's it. Just my heels.

Mandy'sMarty

Sarah,

Without getting too personal about your stuff, can you tell us what may have triggered the psoas release? For example, were you focusing your intent on resolving any specific emotional issue?

Are you familiar with Carolyn Myss (spelling?) and her books. I can't recall the title right now, but I believe one of her books has a chart of common, typical physical ailments and a corresponding chart of the emotional basis of the physical manifestations.

sarah

Marty, doesn't Carolyn Myss do a lot of medical intuitive stuff?

I've glanced over a book by her but I have so much stuff to read and so little time in my life presently that I haven't delved deeper at this point.

As for my psoas muscle, the lady who was working on me had made it abundantly clear that she did not believe she had anything to contribute. She did not believe in this stuff at all. She gave the impression that she sat there with her hands on my feet out of sheer obedience, nothing more. She thought it was all bunkum.

Our instructions were to send energy to the base and heart chakras of the energy receiver.

I lay there in the winter sun, enjoying the fact that I had to do nothing for 20 minutes. I had no real thoughts other than a bit of curiosity about what would happen.

I was lying on my tummy with pillows propping me up since I would experience pain in my lower back if I didn't. As I lay there, I first got pain in my right hip. Nothing new - I always had pain in my right hip. Then it moved to my left hip. What?! That's when I wondered about stopping the session. The pain was really bad. I continued to lay there, trying not to be a baby about the pain, and the pain started to shoot from hip to hip. Then there was the soft "pop" in deep behind my bellybutton.

All of the pain disappeared. I lay there for a little while longer. I got up, we talked for a few minutes and then we went for lunch. As I jumped out of the car to open the very heavy gate to head to the store, I was aware of how free I felt in my hips, pelvis and lower back. I commented to my friend about it. It has not reverted to the way it was since.

Sarah, I agree with and love reading everything you write, apart from the gifted bit. I just can't swallow it. It occurs to me that these people you talk of have put in the hours, hours and hours it needs to tune into the vibration. I believe they have put in the effort to make it seem effortless, and I'm not just talking about this lifetime. So, if their hard works pays off for them in this exsitence, then it looks as if they are gifted, when I believe in fact, they are reaping the rewards for their previous hard work, enjoy it and contine to do it.

Just some thoughts. You too can be as amazing to watch as the ones you admire!

Karen.

Mandy'sMarty

Yes, Carolyn Myss is a medical intuitive. I believe the book is Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing. Ever since reading that book, I have been drawn to what she does. Now years later, I find myself involved in a somewhat related "thing".

I have also felt and heard a "pop" as you described. Mine was from the heart chakra. It kind of freaked me out. Happened while laying in bed half awake.

Here's an interesting "coincidence". While you were writing about your psoas, I was reading about a psoas stretch in the online edition of horsetalk.co.nz :
"Riding & Safety
Stretching for good posture
If the psoas muscle is tight in horse riders, it prevents the rider from keeping their heel in alignment with their shoulder. "

sarah

I didn't chose my words very well, did I, Karen?! I didn't mean chosen like we think of it. I can't quite explain, but your other life stuff is kind of what it includes. Maybe that they hadn't finished their soul purpose last time (now this is appearing very reincarnation-like, isn't it?!) and have the chance to fulfill it this time?

Tony is one who is very gifted, and, yes, he has worked long and hard to be so.

I have another two dear friends who see and feel things I can only aspire to. I will leave it to them if they wish to share their stories with you. I hope they will. They are both amazing.

Marty, I have had several freaky incidents. I understand a bit of what you experienced.

I live in a small, often very angry and disappointed town in the outback of Australia. The collective consciousness here says nothing will ever change. After I had been to the clinic with Mel and Tony, I found going to the local supermarket to be a very distressing event. I would look at the people and I could feel what they felt - fear, anger, disappointment, more fear, lots of fear, stress. My heart would race and my gums would throb. I felt sick. It was worse when I waited at the checkout and was able to really look at the people. In the end I had to decide to not feel when I went there. I couldn't function otherwise.
____________________

That baby that I saw at the clinic. It was to heal me. But exactly how I'm not sure yet.

Nashama

Sarah, ask Tony to teach you how to shield. If you take on board all the emotions of others, you soon end up a basket case and start using your kidney chi. There is a finite amount of kidney chi, you get what you are born with and must protect it if you are using energy work.

In the meantime, if you don't know about this series, the Chi Ball 'Dance of the Dragon' DVD is excellent for teaching you how to raise and channel you chi. You can get them from Natural Equipment.

When you get hit with all these emotions, draw light energy in from outside your body through your eyes and push it out through your hands and dan tien (your belly button). Use that energy, not your internal energy, and things will get easier. I use this a lot with Shama when he wants treatment but will not accept manipulation or the torch. I use dan tien more for general self protection and my hands for directing the chi. Someone else might have a better method, but this does work well for me when I am with really negative horses and owners, and the only one that has a clue I am doing it is the horse. Most owners never pick up my change in breathing.

I was just on Mel's website - this is a wonderful introduction for those still unsure:

Savvy Learner, you got the same thing from Casper that I do.

One thing anyone who strikes out to try to open this sort of door has to remember is sometimes you 'get' more than you asked for. That can be a blessing & it can be a curse that you have to figure out how to deal with.

For most who've been here long, you've heard me yammer on about dogs & a little about the work I do. Occassionally one of the guys will hand me an item. Or once I had a friend write a person's name down on paper & pass it to me. I got a flash of picture. The person whose name it was... was dead, murdered. Those are NOT good moments. So you do have to be prepared to deal with the fact that you may get WAY more than you asked for.

4theloveofjake

Thanks to everyone for your insightful and thoughtful posts and sharing your experiences. This is wonderful to read. On the Chinese horoscope Nancy posted it struck me how much accuracy it told about how I really am inside. Not the side I show the world, but deep inside. One thing about this 'monkey' is I am easily distracted and always moving on to the next thing so I am going to go back and read everyone's posts again because I don't want to miss any detail of this conversation.
Someone mentioned 'letting go'.God bless my trainer, she told me this a few years ago. I would ask , "well why do people do this to horses ? Why did horse XXXX do that ? " Or maybe our session was horrible all because I had an arguement before it started with an un-named person. The point is she taught me to 'let go'. She taught me to take a deep breath, close my eyes, exhale thru my mouth slowly and wiggle my fingers and toes to get rid of the junk in my head" All the while she would keep saying to 'let it go'. A huge weight would lifte off of me and I would feel lighter and free of all the worry. I would be ready to learn. My horse always let out a big sigh when I did this. Probably thought, 'thanks for helping her come back to the present'. Now when I mount I sit still for a minute and breath deep and blow out all that junk in my head. As I blow out my horse will blow out too or sigh. Then we are ready.
I have tried to teach others who are going nuts with stress to let it go. It's interesting how many hold onto it and don't try to release it. Almost like they are guarding it.Maybe it makes them feel alive or they are hiding behind it like an alcoholic hides behind liquor. I think in this method of listening to horses/animals and even people, letting go should be considered an important part of the process so that those burdens don't weigh down the communicator.
Going to re-read now.

bit

I have always chosen to live as far away from the city as I possibly can, because I can't stand the feeling I get there. Shielding, yep I need to do alot more of that.
I used to paint angels for the seriously and terminally ill out of U.C. Davis med center. Long story. Everyone that I presented a painting to would show up for the next persone when they got their painting. At the last presentation, I think there were cloxe to 200 people there, friends, family, and some pretty desparate folks who wanted me to paint for someone they knew. I ended up in the hospital when I got home. After that, I walked away except for the occasional painting that I would send off via the p.o.
I'm curious about the psoas muscle. I have a real tough time getting my heel under my shoulder, and yes that hip pain thing. I assumed it was from my back, and at the same time, I know it is an injury of the soul. Well shoot, I asked. I knew my horses had healed what they could, and now it was time for the next step.

sarah

Jules,

Thank you for what you said. Again, I probably haven't explained it very well. So much for clear and concise writing!

Don't worry about me taking on anything from anyone. I don't. Very quickly after we began, Tony taught us how to let it go. We are only a conduit for the energy. What goes in flows right back out, if that is our intention.

It's interesting that you talk about a shield. Perhaps that is a form of what I did to cope at the supermarket?

Tony was very careful to ensure we all knew about letting go and how to do it. He was also careful to show us that we need to recognise if we have inadvertently held onto something, and we can let it go later when we realise it.

When I have a bit more time, I'll explain how Tony explained the way the energy works to me. Right now I have another kid with a tummy bug who has spent the early morning turning himself inside out.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Nashama

Sarah, shielding is actually blocking the negative energy. It doesn;t pass through you at all. Also, bringing in light from outside does not use your energy, which means you are using a pure, bright energy and you don't get quite so tired treating horses professionally. Where I can I use the sun as my light focus. You can then go from there to a colour focus to do specific healing for major organs. Interestingly, with the use of photonics in health, the use of colour focussed chi seems to parallel the science based photonics.

4theloveofjake

I read a little section on the power of being positive in a book called 'Connecting with horses' by author Margaret Coates recently and thought it would help prepare all of us newbies to open up and be ready for the connection.

Stand with your feet slightly apart, hands by your side with palms against your thighs. With eyes closed, breath slowly and deeply.

Visualize white light pouring down over your head, surrounding your whole body and onto the ground around your feet.

Now absorb the light so that a limitless stream circulates within your whole body.

Take a deep breath, open your eyes and invite the feeling of the warmth and love for all life to flow through you and outwards.

Now go and see your horse and let him or her share your positive energy.

So I thought I would try it tonight at feeding time. For anyone else who would like to try it as Erin said , I dare you !

whudson

Nashama

As often as you want but best to do it only when you need to or are using the chi. It takes more work to learn to direct it, but once you have the knack of that it's not hard.

Don't have a clue about this stuff ( brand new really but very interested) ...What is a chi? I have heard it referenced before but don't really know much about it.

I have also heard people reference "energy" work. Would somebody give an explaination of that as well.

Nashama

Chi is life force, energy. When you just use it a little with one animal, it's OK to use your energy, but if you are going it a lot or you want to feel good too, you bring in chi from elsewhere, most often light. There are a few ways to bring it in, but to actually use it you must direct it. You usually flow it out of your hands and belly button. I did some Tai CHi to learn how to use it as one of my Masters is a Tai Chi Master. I am ususally more a Yogi, but I needed to bring my chi up and learn how to use it. Not liking Tai CHi much I went through a few DVD's before I bought the a Chi Ball method DVD, and that one I like - really clear, well explained and well paced. YThe first time I felt my chi pulsing through me so strongly was a bit unnerving, particularly my hands getting quite hot, but after that I was fine.

One small word of advice, feeding time is not a good time to start this, ugh !
Will try again another time....

Nashama

Ni, best is after dinner or when you have a bit of time to do undemanding time. They don't want to be bothered by you at meal times.

What a great thread. I've been open and curious about these things but have not as yet actually read much how to. I've loved 'What Horses Say' by Julie Dicker and Anna Clements Mews (if I recall correctly) and LOVED LOVED LOVED the one by Straight From the Horse's Mouth by Amelia Kinkade, and Your Sixth Sense by Naparstek. I bought Frequency by Penney Peirce but haven't read it yet. I instinctively have been doing some of the energy (blocking, channeling, directing and color/light work) that you guys have mentioned and am surprised to hear others talk about what I've been doing.

I've also 'gotten' the exact same impressions about Casper that you guys have. Maybe there's hope for me yet! :D

I could read stories all day about messages, intuitions, etc, so please continue to keep sharing them! this thread finally encouraged me to have an AC appointment. My curiosity is piqued now!

Sunny

I wish I'd have known what Jules and sarah and Marty and the others all know and can use at will, back when I actually had "hands on" with Casper. I felt the closed-offness when standing with him and was really taken aback when he would literally stand ground tied with his eyes CLOSED when I was hosing him off.

Perhaps I could have helped him. But we can all send good energy and help him heal now!

new2thejourney

Sarah, I know where you are coming from! I get you!

It is NEVER nice when your child turns themselves inside out, I am with you there too!

SavvyLearner, I am keen, but we need to be careful we don't interfere with any work Casper is doing with himself....if we send him energy, we must present it in a way where he has the choice whether or not to use it! I think your beautiful Remmer may be interested in hearing from you again too.

I get the distinct impression that the generation we are living in is the turning point.....the snowball is gaining momentum. We are about as disconnected as we can get from Source at this era in history....now things are beginning to screech to a halt and turn the other way, towards awakening.

You guys might like the Gerald O' Connor interviews. I started a thread about them in alternative a while back, they are profound and deep, not for the faint of heart, but fascinating if you are open minded! Check them out and I'd love to hear what y'all thought if you want to share.

ElaineW

Bit!
You mentioned Yoga awhile back in the thread..
Do try it! I just love it.. You can gain alot more strength from it than you would think!
I know i was surprised at how much it helped my riding too! Mounting was even easier..

I have been wanting to learn how to use my energy for along time now,,, since reading Cesar Millan's books.. If you watch his show you will hear him saying some of the same things..
This has been a progression for me,, started with horses, moved to dogs, my kids even!
My last strong hold was ME.. It's getting better, managing these thoughts.. What I am finding eye opening is how mean I was to myself. OMG,, I would NEVER talk to hardly anyone like that

And the things I was allowing my 'thinking' mind to say was crushing..
I am so thankful Nancy recommend Eckhart Tolle's books..

Oh, and when I got his books I also picked up Bill Dorrance's book "True Horsemanship Through Feel"..
I feel a bit overwhelmed by its size!!! I am going to enjoy it..

Okay, enough rambling for the day! hehehe
Thanks to you all...

I feel like I have been introduced to many things over the last 5-6-7 years (maybe longer) that are all starting to come together. It's rather overwhelming.

I was awake all night ....working...reading....and slept only 4 hours today, I am wired..and am not sure why...well maybe I am

Universe and Source...these words keeping popping up a little at a time. Is there something I need to be aware of, some lesson, I'm not quite getting or maybe I just have to accept....

Would love to hear of experiences in this regard...

I did Iyengar for years for my back and shoulder and still enjoy that, but my favourites would be the Nirvair Singh Khalsa Kundalini set

Hmmm, I wish I could recommend some dvds, but for most of the past six years, I've had a teacher and a community to practice with. Now that I have neither, I do it on my own and know enough to not need dvds. But I started with DVDs, though, and they were good to have. I gave mine away a while back, though, and don't use them any more so I don't really remember what they were.

The practice I'm involved with is called Shadow Yoga (Chaya Yoga), and there are DVDs on the site. But they aren't really beginner practices. The site is at http://shadowyoga.com if you want to check it out. It is a practice that is in some ways very traditional and tantric in origin, but also integrates some energetic work, like Qigong, and martial arts.

Sorry! Wish I could be of more help.

Nashama

Unfortunately, there are no classes out here, I started with a book when I was 17. I know enough to do it without the DVD's but they are company of sorts, plus, of course, a check on any sloppy habits I might be getting in to.

I've read other books, not that one, that have said the same thing. Since we temporarily forget our purely spirit life when we are incarnated (otherwise, what would be the point of playing the game to learn?), it is even possible for some of 'us' to be 'those beings with that purpose,' and those spirits/souls/beings, whatever you want to call it/us/them (ha ha!) are also, just by nature of the human experience, endangered to forgetting that goal. So if you have a call to help others or to heal, don't ignore that call....it's why you're here. Journey of Souls goes into that a little bit, and Destiny of Souls even more.

savvyliberty

I have been enjoying reading this thread.

I was just wondering if any of you have heard of David Wilcock? I loved listening to a seminar he gave.

Moonmare

Hi- I'm jumping into this thread a bit late, but I just found this. For a little bit of background, I did not consider myself to be an energy worker or intuitive communicator a few years ago. Apparently the Universe thought I needed a wake-up call because friends started asking me to do readings on their horses. I thought, "I can't do this; I'm not an AC." Fortunately I decided to try just to "see what happens."

In my journey right now, I feel like I am in an internship program. More horses and people are showing an interest in what I am doing and the accelerated contact is stretching my capacity. I am discovering how critical it is to be true to my own unique style rather than trying to imitate others or be intimidated by how others get their information. It is a challenge to not doubt oneself, especially as a "beginner." But the more I trust in my own path being right for me, the clearer it all becomes.

Thanks for sharing your stories and dreams here.

Hey Meegan, better late than never! I also find it hard to trust myself sometimes but who knows YOU better than yourself? If you feel that you have a calling or a gift use it and dont' worry about how people will take it. Jump in with both feet and see how it goes, if it's right boy will it expand!

Meegan,
I have heard time and time again that we all possess the capability to communicate with animals. 1st you have to believe and then let it in, sounds like you are discovering how to do that now. Like someone posted earlier ....... believing is seeing

I am reading Kinship with all life, I think it was Nancy that recommended it. It is amazing...

Thank-you Nancy

Glad it's you Wanda, please share your insights. I threw away my Taro ant killer after I finished and definately have been changed for the better!
Funny little book with a powerful life changing message.

I can no longer swat a fly. It's a heavy burden....I have to follow them around the house with a cup, talking to them.

Hmmm...insights

Well, I will have to control myself the next time I move something on my kitchen counter and find an earwig scurrying

I will definetly be having a conversation with myself not sure about the earwig though

I really like the book other than from here on in, I will feel very guilty if I lift my boot to intentionally step on a spider or such. Thankfully, we have no snakes or skunks so I don't have to use my emotional control on them

I do believe though that the book can really get you closer to the purpose of being well with all life like it was intended to be. I feel I have grown in a weird way...

There goes that woo woo sound again

Erin...Your comment made me laugh.

Yup I can see myself being the same way. Maybe there are those that would be better off not reading it

...including myself...too late now

Erin, you crack me up! I've found the best tool for communtication is learning to be a good listener. Some animals are just a bit more chatty than others. Some are very quiet, with profound moments. How will you know if all that chatter is going on in your head? Getting quiet, body, mind and spirit seems to open the door to the horse.

Moonmare

I don't feel enough kinship with ants right now to want to converse with them.

Hats off to those of you who do.

Larry, direct contact is not necessary for me to connect with another horse. I have worked with several horses now that I have never met in person. I just got to meet a horse I worked with last weekend. I did energy work with him from a distance about 3 weeks ago. He had some major, major issues. We were able to address those issues together, and now people do not recognize him. It was great to meet him in person and say hello.

Nancy, as I have opened up to this the opportunities to work with horses and the demand have exploded. I'm taking this as a good thing.

Peeperpuppy

I've been on QUITE a roller coaster the last few weeks in my own journey. The horse that I'd begun to wonder if I was just going to have to give up on turns into the most amazing teacher.

Connect with a horse in this way & it's amazing what they'll over come because you asked. Even more it's amazing to see her conquer demons. Beautiful & amazing.

The chapter that really made a difference to me, was 16, Mental Bridges. Somehow it clicked and I began to get rid of some of the subconscious "birthright superiority" nonsense. Interestingly enough that is about the same time my old gelding started to see me in a different light, seemed to want to hang out (never did before)
