The Mind/Body Connection-(MBC)

 The program effecting lives.

During our work with clients, we work toward a particular objective, and find that the client/student pay closer attention to what they are expected to do.  They’re usually surprised that we care they get the details.  And, we make sure they understand them.  We do not rush you through the program, we take the necessary time to explain.  Clients then exhibit deeper interest, at the puzzles we present.

We slow them down, one more peg, to pay mind to what their hands are doing, while the mind, hands, eyes, body language, and our feelings --are all performing what seems to be ---their own tasks.

Many humans function like wound-tight steel, springing back to its familiar --nest of confusion.

Slow the client a third peg, and they look at their own complexities, one at a time.

The real work now begins, by taking control over un-wanted or un-desirable behavior, in fractions.

Untangling a web of emotional turmoil (steel-wool) without doing damage --is a very delicate process.  We must be careful to not snap or break anything, especially the very fragile memory.  There could be volumes of stored hurts and pain.

As we go along, we aim to encourage a more direct search for details, and maybe not.

We work at asking the right questions, to gently guide a client through the maze of memories, being careful to stop them, or give a detour, when they approach a too delicate place or dead end, that could be terribly frightening for them.  Distraction can now become your strategy.

As the client walks through and to a place you know will stop them, we gently prepare them for what might be ahead, giving continued support, as they near the questionable area.

Reading people, is an art learned from the ‘Soft Touch’ horsemanship portion of the program.  The horse represents a personality or a challenge that must be met or conquered.

The MBC Program, is not for inexperienced persons to coach, however, knowing pain, and getting through the forest, learning your own life lessons well (by experience) may be more valuable, to someone who can feel that you understand.  

Been there -done that, is worth many degrees.  Often --what has been book learned, must be disregarded, and we learn to listen to our gut feelings, and our heart.

Simply close the book, and learn to feel and listen.

MBC looks at a page in one’s life as they open it to us.  Knowing what is at hand, as discussed with the client, will gain their trust, with a shared direction, while giving the client the power, to make small decisions, and setting new goals.

It is very important that clients are informed that the STH/MBC are strategy oriented programs.  This will give the coach a wider range for experimentation, without telling the client, exactly what you are trying to do for them.  This is again, a delicate line to walk, to keep client trust & faith.

 The experienced coach see more than a client want known.

 MBC forms a very powerful team, and can work in adjunct with Mental Health or Delinquency agencies.

 Clients love that you are not a professional in their eyes. 

After ALL, we just teach riding!

When they catch on to our strategy and what they are really gaining from the program, you just share a smile. 

Painful situations do not need to be discussed.  We simply mention body language, and guide them towards wanting to know –why they do that, or where does the behavior come from?  Perhaps it reminds you of someone else's issues..

Seeds are sown early on, and can take time to germinate. There is usually a waiting time.

There is a time to be concerned about the outcomes, and, there is a time for the client to see their accomplishments, like new grass, growing beneath the clients feet.

Hope must be realized, felt, and then it starts growing!

As the colors turn from gray to green, joy is experienced, faith builds, and the fields are no longer too big to cross.

PROGRESS can also become addictive.

  It's good to CONTINUE supporting your clients, to keep them on fertile ground.
