1 ~ Increase Confidence, Self-esteem & Personal Responsibility
Are your fears and limitations leading you, or are your confidence and self-assurance directing your decisions? Learn to respond to circumstances from empowered choice instead of from fear, reaction or self-doubt. Horses accelerate your personal growth because they mirror changes in your thoughts and actions immediately, moment by moment. Facing fears, finding inner-strength and accepting responsibility for creating your life allows you to respond from a place of consciousness and empowered choice. Develop new tools and behaviors to support your intentions. Discover the critical difference between “being responsible to” versus “taking responsibility for” another person. Break through the barriers, fears and limitations that hold you back in your life leading to success and achievement of your goals, both personally and professionally.
2 ~ Respect and Honor Your Emotions
Learn to hold your space and create positive, empowered boundaries without closing down to the world around you. Through the subtle and non-judgmental guidance of the horse, you will learn to open to your emotional intelligence, honoring what your feelings have to offer. Explore and reveal your emotions and their shadows (fear, anger, worry, defensiveness). Learn to honor them, feel them fully and consciously, receiving what they have to offer, and then release them. Create a space for personal growth, self-awareness and forgiveness to enter, increasing your openness, trust and empowerment. This leads to a release of stress and pain, a more balanced life, improved health and an experience of your life as more expansive and fun!
3 ~ Develop True Leadership
Are you truly in charge of your life direction and where you are going? Working with the horse’s non-verbal expression we begin to understand that true leadership is less about what we say, and more about what we do. Develop your ability to fully trust your own decisions and lead others through your example by creating a clear connection to your leader within. Create an atmosphere of trust in which you are able to influence others, not because you hold a position of power over them but because they trust you fully to guide them. Profoundly change the choices you make in your own life. As you learn to trust your own leadership, you cultivate the keys to empower those around you through embracing collaboration, opportunity and change, rather than fear.
Enlighten
4 ~ Improve Communication and Honesty
Avoid misunderstandings and the lack of communication we so often experience with others by learning to interpret situations clearly and directly. Because horses communicate down to the most subtle levels, they offer you a profound opportunity to understand how your energy, body language and non-verbal forms of communication affect those around you. Become an active listener in your communications, truly receiving from another and being received fully yourself. Build the trust necessary to have honest and courageous conversations. These skills lead to deeper levels of understanding in all areas of your life including family, friends, professionally and in the world as a whole.
5 ~ Deepen Your Relationships and Create Connection
Are you open, connected and communicating fully in all your relationships? Opening to the horse as an innate spiritual teacher, you are guided to relax, release, become fully present and connect to your own deepest essence. From this space you can create true and profound connection with another. Develop closer, deeper and more loving bonds with the people most important to you. Create more fulfilling, effective and honest intimate relationships, by learning to build an atmosphere of mutual trust, connection and vulnerability.
6 ~ Develop Focus, Clarity and Intention
Increase your ability to stay calm and grounded in the midst of chaos by cultivating full presence in the moment. Guiding horses through an activity teaches you to focus your concentrated energy directly towards what you are doing and where you want to go, and to clarify a concise intention and plan for communicating what you truly want. Identify the unconscious obstacles and behaviors holding you back in your life, preventing you from being fully happy and opening to new possibilities. Accelerate your effectiveness when conveying your intentions. Learn to be focused and clear about what you truly want, leading to increased personal clarity and better results in all areas of your life.
7 ~ Create Internal Alignment
Develop embodied decision making by understanding the internal “Herd of Two™” created between your ego-self and your Higher-self. Learn to make harmonious decisions that align your head and your heart. Through the horse, you receive immediate and honest feedback about any incongruity between your inner and outer messages. Create emotional and physical alignment through relaxation, breath work and an ability to identify the state you are experiencing each moment so that awareness, learning and creativity can grow and flourish. Develop the alignment of what you want and intend, with what you are communicating and how your actions either support or defeat your goals. This leads to the powerful ability to manifest the people, places and circumstances you desire in every aspect of your life.
Evolve
8 ~ Trust your Intuition
Learn to hear your own true voice and allow its guidance to change and refocus your priorities. Working with the horse you develop the attentiveness to self that allows you to make decisions in your life more consciously. As you learn to hear and trust your internal guidance the right choices begin to reveal themselves more effortlessly. Experience your personal power and inner-knowing and create a clear sense of ownership for your life. Become proactive and emotionally resilient, rising above circumstances instead of being victimized by them.
9 ~ Develop Empathy and Compassion
Expand the essential human qualities that allow you to feel, understand, and respond to the suffering of others. Compassion means to be aware of and sympathetic to the distress of others. Being empathetic means to have a deep appreciation for what it is like to be in the other's situation from his or her perspective. Develop the openness required to understand another’s experience with tolerance through the non-judgmental expression of the horse. Deepening your empathy and compassion towards others helps you respect their life process, building trust with those around you, exposing you to new relationships and ultimately increasing your own sense of self. In addition, true understanding eliminates division and helps to build broader forms of commitment within your family, organizations and entire communities.
10 ~ Expand Awareness
What is your level of awareness as you move through the world? Learn from the horse how to first improve your awareness of self, then expand that awareness out to the world around you. Discover that you can maintain your focus on a specific goal or outcome, while still being aware of the whole picture. As your internal senses become more finely tuned you are able to stay clear and on purpose while noticing subtle input from the people and things around you. This allows you to stay focused on what’s most important while tuning out distractions and becoming more attuned to your full range of senses. Additionally, new tools and solutions become consciously available to you when you need them.
