Today on "In the Aisleway" I took a deep dive with Dr. Pamela Maynard of Conscious Hoofbeat into our Inner Health journey.  Dr. Maynard facilitates Circle for Lifestyle Horsewoman.  Wouldn't it be great to know there is a place you could go to talk about all about the joys, challenges, heart lessons and heartaches that are part and parcel of being a horsewoman?  Well, Circle is that place!  I hope you will listen to our conversation and consider joining Circle.  Because life with horses is a neverending journey to ourselves!

Healing You Sanctuary with Gloria Lybecker: When Lifes Just Not Making Sense

There is plenty in our world today that does not seem to make sense.  What does "making sense" even me?  It reminded me that it is an active process, of engaging with what is around us and applying our experience and curiosity to make sense of it.  Gloria Lybecker shares her own journey to "making sense" of her human experience and invites us to explore our own process.

Hidden Promise: Wisdom Horses Shared THIS Week: Possibilities

Equine Inspired Life with Schelli Whitehouse: Acceptance of What Is

We don't like hearing "it is was it is".  And yet, at times, acceptance is the best pathway to peacefulness.  As Thich Naht Han says, "Relax, nothing in under control".  Acceptance sometimes shows us the path forward to real change.

Healing You Sanctuary with Gloria Lybecker: What Inspires YOU?

Lately, I have been thinking alot about breathing.  With the pandemic and then the fires engulfing the west coast, the gift of my breath has been front and center.  Inspiration and inhalation have alot in common.  The things that inspire me are like a deep breath, filling my body like the air fills my lungs.  I seek inspiration on a daily basis and find that, like the air, it is all around me and always ready for me.  Gloria Lybecker leads us today in a thought exercise to find what inspires us.  Let's connect today!

Hidden Promise: Wisdom Horses Shared THIS Week: Individuality

Horse World Connect podcasts seem to be following a theme this week!  Kim Cardeccia shares how her horse expresses her unique individual personality.  While we love those harmonious moments when our horse and we act as one, we also have a great opportunity to enjoy their individuality in those moments when we are on different paths.  Seeking togetherness while still appreciating our differences is a gift we can learn from our horses and take into all of our relationships!

Equine Inspired Life -Schelli Whitehouse: It's Not Personal

Coach Fancy reminds us that a horse's world is a busy place so not everything they respond to is directly related to us or our interactions with them.  Not only true for horses!  People can get wrapped up it taking everything that happens around them personally.  What a relief it can be to realize that often our horse's reactions have little or nothing to do with us and what a gift it is to be present and clear when they do!

Hidden Promise: Wisdom Horses Shared THIS Week: The Three R's

Kim Cardeccia's horses are spot on this week with what they chose to share.  In a world that encourages reaction, it takes a strong will and grounded heart to chose to respond thoughtfully instead.  Just like with our horses, we can encourage them to respond or we can cause them to react.  If we do enough of the latter long enough, we both end up in a rut!  Today's podcast reminded me of something I learned from the veterinary world:  animals RESPOND to good medicine and REACT to the wrong medicine!  Kim is serving up good medicine today!!
