The Kindness Project

The Kindness Project An invitation to rediscover your own essence and answer that quiet calling home. My offering is not about healing in the traditional sense.

A gentle walk of remembrance, to return to who you've always been, underneath it all. Are you experiencing tiredness from life, overwhelm, or disconnection from self, do you feel and sense there is something deeper waiting to be remembered within. Maybe you already feel the pull of home calling, a ripple or spark somewhere deep within reminding you off all that already divinely exists. Through sacred practice, I gently help dissolve the structures from life holding women away from their core. It is about dissolving what no longer serves you, so you can reconnect to who you truly are beneath the pain, the patterns, loops and stories. When you visit with me, we don’t add more, we are releasing all that no longer serves or works for you. My own journey began in a place of seeking, searching for something outside myself to fix what felt broken. What I discovered was that true restoration happens when we reconnect to our own sacred field of stillness. This is now the space I hold in others. If you are truly ready to shed the bounds your life has created, let’s work together. You may choose to work in partnership with the herd to discover a profound invitation to your field of stillness. Or we can work one-on-one in person or through video call. Allow me to walk beside you, an offering of sacred practices and presence to support you when life feels heavy, when you're unsure how to move forward, or when you simply feel the quiet pull to return home to yourself. I will meet where you are, and walk guide you as you realign your body, mind, energy and consciousness. Let me help welcome you back home.

As you rebuild your foundations; recalibrating the function of your nervous system, you discover that joy is found in everyday moments. That lightness, softness and gentleness are accessed through function. As you disassemble all of the holding within you that came through storing life experiences, you find a place where you are finally able to process through the entire system as you are designed.

Life takes on a new look: a contentedness that allows you to fully live each moment through a beautiful and maybe even boring (to others) new lens. It isn't what we are being sold, but it seems to me that it is definitely more of how we were designed to be.

A full day in my little office today. Including helping 2 beautiful horses. 😍

Sometimes I stop and look around my space, and feel pretty chuffed, and very blessed to have a space of safety to offer others.

We need nurture, co-regulation, and we need people in the world who are so committed to themselves and what they do that we trust them implicitly to help guide us too.

It is my hope that this little room I've built is just that space to those who need to redefine nurture, safety, self care, validation and transformation.

I built this room: I laid the floor, I painted the walls, I installed those blinds, I put together the furniture, I hung each picture, some I even created. Each thing was chosen to bring this space together, not for me, but as an offering to others. A place you can come and be taken care of while you also rediscover yourself.

I only ever do my transformation work in here, it isn't spoilt by other energies, or outside things. To me it is a sacred space, a bit more special than just any old room to work in. I am proud that is a safe haven for others to receive in, to let their guard down and be held in nurture and safety.

It may be a little room, with a pink door 💞....but today it feels a little magical 🪄✨️

Last week I had some beautiful appointments that included some gentle touch bodywork.

I really wish I'd taken before and after photos as the changes in flexibility were huge, for just a few minutes of work. So below is my artistic rendition of what we achieved. 😆😆

Ok, so it wasn't quite that good. But, it was pretty wow-ish!!!

Most notably was a huge improvement to the range of movement in a chronically painful and restricted shoulder. That continued to increased as we worked on the lower body.

Ever go and get a massage and they only work on the sore body part??? Well, that likely isn't the start point, and other areas require attention to help the ache find release. The gentle bodywork I offer helps address the body as a whole picture.

I also had some feedback from someone I'd work on several weeks ago, who has suffered with chronic back, neck and shoulder pain. Who realised they hadn't been complaining for a couple of weeks about the constant daily agony. It had "just" dissapeared. 😳👌

We don't need to dig into muscles and fascia, and break things up. The deep tissue work can disrupt a senstive or overwhelmed system too. And, we also worked fully clothed, I know this can a challenge for a lot of people with traumatised systems, safety is a big part of helping the body unwind.

It is definately different to anything you've tried before, Im sure. I also believe the results will be different to. To me it feels more like a conversation, finally a space the body can be heard.

Showing up to an appointment isn't always knowing exactly what you want to work on or through. This work is about letting expectation go, and coming to a place of realisation that sometimes it is a small holding within that is the key to big shifts.

We have been told it's our big traumas that make us stuck, sad, grief ridden, full of pain, riddled with illness. Yet sometimes, and often times it is something smaller and quieter that has become interwoven to those "big T" events.

I love sessions that lead down a garden path. Instead of an intellectual conversation it is an exploration. A client can gently extend an invitation to all parts of themselves and ask what would like to be revealed, seen, heard, felt and understood. A conversation with self that is often overlooked.

Our body may speak through pain, energy movements, offer us sensations and temperature changes, colours, memories, parts of us that have long sought attention, yet we've ignored or packed away. Often times it's a lack of awareness and not having ever been shown how to converse with our whole self, that prevents these things revealing themselves alone.

It isn't about finding the bad or difficult memories that allow for deep transformation. Sometimes it's sitting and giving patience, support, awareness and gentleness to the softest spark within, that just needed you to stop and speak with it.

Sitting with someone skilled at guiding the conversation and "seeing" the shifts allowing you to remain safe is a powerful experience. It can be hard to lean into what has been hidden or dismissed for so long. It makes sense that having assistance helps you maintain safety.

Then the gentle moment they begin to help you release, dissolve what has been held across the totality of self. This can be a transformation session with me, you do not need to know, we don't dig into what you've been through, we listen and say hey "I've got you".

This past week I have been getting my pool ready for summer. Yesterday as I was working away, I thought about how much more capacity I have for things like this nowadays.

When I first moved in, I knew nothing about maintaining a pool and had to hire someone to come and take care of it. I simply had no available space within my head or life to do what was needed. Over the past few years, I have found out it was nowhere near as difficult as I had believed. Yesterday was a lovely reminder of how much I have changed, from overwhelmed to ease.

I regularly see this in clients; over time they gently make a transition from overwhelmed to capable too. I love their surprise when they suddenly realise, they are doing so much more than before. Achieving things, they didn’t think possible, without having to make allowances, space or sacrifices elsewhere in life.

When you work with me, we work to dissolve a stored content of your life experiences, not removing the core memories we shift the way you are holding the experiences you’ve had. Allowing you to process the bandwidth of your experiences; the emotions, the physical toll, the constant triggers. A gentle shift of the stored energy within consciousness. This all creates space, a softening within. Allowing the nervous system to regain function and begin to gently work as it was designed. Have you ever felt like you were riding on the waves of chaos?

I liken that feeling of chaos that can underlie our life to a home built on quicksand. The house above is never safe. You would always be fixing cracks in the wall, feeling like you are sinking, and waiting for the day the roof falls in. It becomes an immense amount of work to hold everything together and up. Always in fear of what will go wrong next. If, for a time we focus on rebuilding the foundations instead, the house itself would become a safer and sturdier place to live.

My own foundations once needed the work. It included my nervous system, my inner stillness, alignment between my consciousness, physical body, emotions, they were validation of my experiences and meeting those experiences through me being seen, heard, felt and understood. It was dissolving what my physical vessel was holding. It was the work I do now that allowed me to find an inner freedom and gave me the capacity to live and do life. So now, I can maintain my own pool, care for my garden, work, cook dinner, and walk my dogs. For someone who has never been completely overwhelmed they may sound like small things, but for someone who has lived in a place of limited capacity they may sound like a dream.

Rebuilding my foundations and expanding my capacity was not something I could do alone. If you are feeling ready to rediscover this freedom let me meet you where you are and help guide you back home.

Horses hear "no" so often. Often we don't even hear them ask a question. We see a behaviour and we say stop. No conversation, just a person that uses defensive language or reaction to what could have been conversive because they forget the sentience of the horse.

I was working on some of the herd the other day and Diamond kept expressing he wanted the gate opened. He wasn't being rude, it was a question. After the third ask, I had acknowledge each one but I was working on another horse, I stopped what I was doing and actually moved over and addressed him. Considering what he may have wanted, he wanted to go through it. I said ok let's see what you want to see, your safe on the other side of it. Which was inside the feed shed.

He moved slowly and gently, and explored the area with curiosity. To keep him safe I stood nearby and allowed him to continue. After a little while he wandered off and had a little graze on the gass along the driveway. It was so interesting to see him soften when he got a yes, why not. He got an "I trust you, its ok" instead of a no, and even better than that he wasnt told off for asking.

It made me think about childhood, and how many people I work with that just had a rigid no at every point in childhood. Eventually they shut off their curiosity, they stop asking for anything and eventually they no longer know how to ask for help.

The flow on is huge, for horses and people alike.

It is something that flows through into adulthood. Most of my clients are above 40 and they speak to these things regularly, and can recognise how they were "trained behaviours" from childhood that were meant to keep them inline and make life easier for the parent. They weren't meant to be how they behaved for ever. Yet shutting someone down is so impactful. There is a way to through it though. New conversations just like I had with Diamond, where he asked and got a yes and he got connection because we went together.

There is great power in being seen, heard, felt and understood. I love how horses are always showing, teaching and reminding me. 🥰

Through transformation and release you begin to remember who you are. How would things appear if you get to view them through the purity of who you are without life's baggage.

There is a beauty and richness that begins to seep in as you explore life from a place of stillness, balance, gentleness and wholeness. This isn't healing, it is remembering.

If you arent looking after yourself, at what point do you stop being able to participate in the life you are creating without that immediate self care.

We are the centre of our own existence ✨️ if we dont exist then the world that surrounds us, well, it simply goes on. We just wont be here to experience it. Tending to ourselves is not a selfish thing, it is our purpose. Our life's purpose is to exist in wholeness, what you do with that purposeful existence is what makes up the experience of life.

So, take care of yourself first, then flow out into the rest of your day. 🙏🏻

Happy Sunday!!! Wishing you all a beautiful day. 🥰🙏🏻

I say nup to cup!!!!

I actually say it with a bit more flare and usually a few more swear words, but that short sentence will do today.

🤑 Today the prize pool for this "race" (abuse) is $10,000,000.00
🤑 In 2024 the economic generation contributed over $1 billion to the Australian economy. {Victoria Racing Commission}

My heart finds it difficult to comprehend the financial gain made from humans removing the freedom of choice and autonomy from a sentient animal, regardless of the money generated. Just because something is financially viable, does not excuse the violence.

⚠️ Approximately 13,000 horses are bred in the racing industry each year in Australia, approximately 30% make it to the racetrack.
⚠️ Only 2% of retired horses make it into rehoming or retraining.
⚠️ 2 Horses everyday die on Australian Racetracks.
{Australian Alliance for Animals}

Horses for me offer us so much more than money, than what we can earn off them, than the rush of a win, or thrill and payout of a winning bet. There is something that lies much deeper within the beauty of who they truly are when allowed to live in their purity of self.

Underneath what we've trained them to be, how we require them to respond to us. What we have hidden within them to meet our own needs, desires and wants.

For someone willing to take a moment of shared space and connection it does not take long to experience what feels like magic. My understanding is we share purpose with horses, to live with a state of stillness and to have that as expanded as possible, and to experience all of life through this state.

When horses have access to their own deep state of presence and stillness and we share their space that presence allows us to shift, to move things within our body, emotions and consciousness that allow us to expand our own state of stillness. Which our physical vessels experience as a place/state it can heal itself. They may also at times use their own energy to help move or shift density within us, again helping us find the space for our own self to heal.

I believe we need to do better, in all areas of our connection to Equus. We have for too long taken what was not ours. We have used and abused what should have been friendship, relationship, connection. Maybe today is a reminder to ask how we can do better and what can I learn from Equus as masters of the state of stillness.

Please do not bet on the cup today. Consider a donation instead to a welfare organisation that works to support and care for the used and abused of the industry instead. 🙏

I would also like to take a moment to acknowledge that the herd I caretake for connect with people because I create the space and invite the herd and people into these spaces. Therefore, I feel they do so because of reciprocity, as much as I can I create safety for all, and I allow them choice to leave or not participate. I strive for a shared space of reverence, stillness, kindness, gentleness and respect, a place of no harm. Given that nature, and all the animals that live in our home have freely joined us on many occasions, I feel there is something meaningful that takes place when we join together.

Please say "nup to the cup".

Our Story

The Kindness Project is the creation and passion of Jennifer Cumins, who during her teens spent many hours in the company of a herd of horses. She came to understand the power of connection and all the lessons horses have to teach us. From developing communication, sharing space, respectful boundaries and the power of living in the now. Jennifer saw how horses are able to share energy between themselves, create a safe and regulated environment, support each other and how they discharge the energy from perceived life-threatening events. These experiences have created a life long passion for horses and for learning how to join the wisdom of horses with people who need them.

A curiosity about trauma and the impact on the physical and energetic components of oneself has led Jennifer down an interesting path of education, from equine bodywork, Reiki II, Quantum Touch, Essential Oils, Equine Experiential Learning, Equine Facilitated Learning, Somatic Experiencing and peiec ® energy healing. It is with this expertise she has created a supportive space that now allows humans to go through their own deep healing and release process. Whether you have been through a specific trauma or you just have a feeling of being stuck and held bound by past experiences. Jennifer and her beautiful herd of horses can hold space and help you to reawaken to your passions and purpose and welcome yourself home to a deeper and healthier connection to self.

Jennifer takes clients on a Transformation Journey explored over three powerful sessions. This allows for the greatest amount of life moments to be released from within the Five layers of self. A gentle process that allows a person to restore peace, free themselves from limiting beliefs and behaviours and to release life moments that have held you bound.
