The truth is, healing is anything but nice and easy, or peaceful, calm and serene. It’s not just sitting in a meditation yoga pose, thinking positive thoughts or going for a massage.

In my experience and those of many others I walk alongside in my work, healing is often painful; damn painful in fact, as well as messy, hard work, lonely and frightening. Yes, there can be times when healing takes place more gently and something smoothly slots into place in our mind/body. But mostly it’s tough and it takes an enormous commitment to yourself to prioritise your own healing in this modern crazy world of ours.

It’s tough being the one in the family who says: No more, this stops with me. To break the silences. To uncover the ghosts and shadows and to take on the monumental task of tackling the shame and pain of our ancestors and patterns in our immediate family system.

It takes courage to be willing to grow and change and to risk losing old friends as we leave behind our many skins like a trail on the floor in our wake as we move on…

But mostly, it takes an enormous willingness to be humbled, to be willing to sink low, sometimes VERY low and to plumb the depths of our very being, time and time again. To dive for the pearls of insight and wisdom and to plant the seeds of new growth down there in the darkness.

Our body also faithfully holds on to what it knows and particularly its self-protective responses, doing what it does best in its own natural way. And it takes a lot of very gentle encouragement to release the holding, the tightness and to let go finally. We may have to undergo such somatic releasing many, many times before our body feels safe enough to take a different approach when we’re next triggered.

I’ve witnessed this also in my animals: how hard it can be to let go, to release an old pain and habit and to respond differently. So healing for all lifeforms is a big challenge and knowing this can allow us to cut ourselves, and others, some very much needed slack, and release the pressure to do it faster, bigger and better.

All of this is healing in its different forms and each tiny wee step you take each day is a herculean achievement my friend…

Horses are natural somatic healers, and as the coaching work progresses, they gently touch or move parts of their own energy centers in their bodies toward the client. This connection and energy are deeply felt by the client.

These experiences stay with the client for a lifetime because it is so different from merely “talking about” a challenge, an impending decision, or a traumatic event. It is in this full experience with both the human and equine coach that the magic unfolds, leaving clients with a lasting reminder that supports their continuing transformation. The work with horses often brings more clarity of thought, an expansion in awareness, and emotional healing.

Budweiser's Clydesdals we're used to are great. However, this advertisement with a famous horse as the main character is even more impressive. Cause? Well, cute little c**t who wants to help. He's almost a year old, but the little one thinks he's ready to pull the Budweiser wagon with the res

At the heart of working with horses in this sacred and powerful way is the journey the client undertakes to recover their true-self at the core of who they really are.

Beneath the layers of protection, defence and socialization lies the inner core of each person, silently waiting to be brought back to life in as fullest a way as possible.

In these kinds of interactions with horses, who sense the slightest incongruity in each person no matter their history, coping behaviours and false beliefs about themselves, the horses gently reawaken the authentic-self lying dormant within. Slowly reviving us and bringing us back into connection with who we really are; what the truth really is about ourselves and crucially, how we can take this new found part of ourselves back out into our daily lives.

In this process we start to cast-off the narratives we’ve adopted and held onto rigidly for so many years. And, we experience and thus embody a new felt-sense of power, alignment and strength. In these moments, a sense of inner-peace tends to fall gently around us, enveloping client, horse and facilitator in a blanket of truth; a feeling of “rightness”. Such precious moments are I think why so many of us continue to do this work and why so many are drawn to the silent power of the horse…
