It is continually amazing to us as we use
our 'gifted' program with clients -who seek riding lessons and
understanding. While applying their gained knowledge of those gifts,
we see how we parallel so many therapeutic methods or techniques, like
'emotional freedom therapy' (EFT). This is the newly acclaimed
therapy that is getting so much attention for healing the emotions and
relieving negative emotions --within such a short time.
We see many similarities in
our overall approach to healing and teaching to 'get the junk
out'.
We are also familiar with accu-pressure
and accu-puncture -as the founder herself was in need of that service in
1994 when circumstance was overwhelming. She was introduced to
Giovanni Pescetto from Columbia Maryland who offered his services freely,
as he heard of how many people the founder had helped personally.
Actually, he saved her life. When you are on the forefront, where
does one go for help? Thank God for his help.
FROM THE FOUNDER---
"What I experienced was a 'peeling away'
of many layers of 'bound-up' stagnant energy that was a prison to
me. I could not free myself. Giovanni helped me to 'loosen,
one layer at a time, until that day that I felt my back just pour out onto
the table -like 'warm fudge' as it is poured into a pan.
Giovanni I felt my body relax as I felt my body 'spread' over
the table.
This took two sessions a week for 10-12
weeks. Then once weekly every other week.
The layers were like 'crusted events'
that stuck to me, as I ignorantly tried to hold on to them, trying to
resolve what had passed in time. Rose M. Foreman

In our continuing study, we recognize the
energies within the body (both horse and human), outside the body, and the
'blocked energy causing stressed areas, therefore blockage. We have
been naturally applying this information to our clients --for many
years.
FOUNDER, --"I too have learned that it isn't
those past memories that we constantly draw to us. It is the
'excuse' we use and give, for not knowing the correct answer (so we think)
to our own issues. We want to do it over, to do it right, but it
isn't there any longer in actuality, which only adds to our stress. We
have difficulty in finding how-to 'release' those memories or burdens that
we have 'chosen to carry' with us that build the wall we place
around ourselves. This is a cop-out, another reason to hide that
'other reason' to not face the true hidden -underlying issues.
The Program --The peeling
away of 'issues' has been a wonderful help. It is absolutely
painless, and you do not have to go 'into that memory, other than to
simply 'recognize' that it is there. Once we work on that awareness and
continue with the program, as it is structured, that negative energy is
simply 'released'. --Dropped! --Defused!
There is no real need for any exercise
other than to work at your riding, relaxation, and continued awareness of
your body, mind, and spirit, and your new found 'energy flow' that we
encourage by our introduction to the natural horse, natural riding, and
natural rhythm.
LEARNING TO MOVE in natural cooperation
with such a magnificent animal (the horse), helps us to 'loosen the
shells' we carry around us, to jiggle them loose, so they can actually
fall away. You will simply accept that those shells or 'tree bark'
have been holding you back. You will make the conscious decision to
'drop them'. It's like dropping the towel, and we are not ashamed in
doing so. We are only exposing ourselves to the 'self'.
ONCE WE GET YOU --TO THAT SPECIAL 'PLACE'
--where you are aware and you can make those decisions, the layers
drop, one at a time. With each dropping we disrobe our past
emotional baggage. We feel an immediate release as if the weight has
come off our shoulders. We even feel lighter, happier, and often --pain
just leaves.
WE HAVE ALSO NOTICED, as Dr Salvo states,
that pain can be psychosomatic, with no real cause other than painful
memories.
WE BELIEVE --the brain is trying to
protect us. We sub-consciously plant that wish to the brain, to be
mind-ful to not have anymore bad memories, to not have any memory of those
bad issues, so they are hidden deeply within. That is why they are
still there. We program ourselves, and it is God's will that the
brain protect us.
It is those 'issues' that we still carry
deeply, and we continue to pile them up with more
'don't-wanna-remembers'. Therefore --layers, just like the old oak
tree.
FOUNDER, --"I felt like that
OLD
OAK TREE --with about 8" of tree back around me, and that was
what held me together. Those layers were getting 'brittle' with
piled up emotion. The tree was about to fall. That tree was
ME!
