Uncover the 'Grass Roots' of Stress
--without just concentrating on the symptoms!
For riders or non-rider.
Body tensions, emotional issues, or blocked energy (stress) must be dealt with before becoming a better horseman.
The more relaxed you are, the more relaxed and confident the horse, and vs. vs. Riding is more safe when communication is open, confident, direct, & honest.
Stressed riders send stressed messages to the horse.
A horse that likes you, will take care of you, and both will enjoy riding pleasures and journeys cross-country.
I have seen major improvements in individuals when just getting them to un-wind, releasing emotions, bound up inside of them. Many riders came to us on medications, and by de-stressing them, their prescriptions were either de-creased or eliminated all-together --by their physicians/ therapists, psychologists, etc...
Riders found they were more comfortable with themselves, while filling a void in their lives!
Riding a horse can be --a means to an end.
Wear a caution flag to the purpose of your riding instructors etc.. Are you really ready for that particular riding style or discipline at this time. What is it that you really want? Do you know?
A holistic Horse Holiday Coach is considerate of the entire person. The total being.
Are you ready to take on a 'show challenge' while participating against others? Or, not yet! Gauge where you are, what your needs are, when searching for a teacher/instructor/or 'Coach'.
The clients we worked with, within our program study, opened many doors of understanding.
DOCTORS, PSYCHOLOGISTS etc. primarily search and treat the 'symptoms of stress' and do not, or cannot -in an office environment, get to the real root causes or behaviors of client stress. You're too up, uncomfortable, or up-tight, in an office setting, after sitting in a waiting room, expecting to talk about your issues.
When working in a holistic atmosphere, without any outside interruptions, clients are free to allow those emotions to 'come-up and out', as they cannot continue or feel 'safely protected' in an office setting. Being in a 'stable environment allows what has been stuffed inside to 'naturally' come out.
It's like a 'child' locked in a room, behind a door. They will peep out, and cautiously take only one small step at a time, then quickly retreat, if there is any indication of fear, caution, or discomfort.
HEALING, takes time, trust, patience, tenderness and compassion. It helps tremendously, to be with someone who has 'been there --done that', being full of 'life experience'.
Book learned therapists, psychologists, etc only know 1/3 of the 'course in life', and we DO need each other to help clients fully. That is why Horse Holiday Coaches work in adjunct with the agencies.
Bad feelings and denied memories, often forgotten, really want and need to surface.
This is why we 'Search' for meaning, --purpose, guidance, comfort, and confidence!
We believe that 'inner emotions' are 'energy' that can synchronize with the same energy --in another. Words and facts are not necessary for discussion.
Privacy is a privilege, one you have the right to hold dear!
Personal 'issues' experience spontaneous recognition from an empathic individual, while attracting memories and feelings like magnets meeting, then fusing together. Then hopefully, blocking out negativities with newly acquired boundaries -when in compatible company.
Often, just being with the horse, is an energy exchange, from their own (the horse's) experiences. The life and memories of the horse may also have 'unspoken' body or cellular memories that need healing also.
