THOUGHTS EFFECTING --LEARNING TO RIDE

First,--HUMOR HEALS!  I used it all the time working clients with horses. The horse also has a bit of humor.  They play trickery, and I know them for it.  It is amazing that the horse appreciates, my appreciation of 'their' humor, --and they will continue to 'act out'---just for a response from me. A good laugh.

            Our program introduces you to the true and complete relationship that can be developed with the horse.   

         The horse helped my 'search' for 'inner' knowing, and fulfillment.  This need or 'search' was easier, because I could use humor to release the mind, body, and 'soul' of negativity, intimidation, fears, and STRESS!

BODY LANGUAGE --To conquer, -simply learn the 'natural' body language of both horse & human, the instincts, and impulses. Frankly, if THIS doesn't lead to humor, --nothing will. Our minds, and bodies sometimes do flip-flops, -expressing opposites that can complicate our appearance & learning process.

The complexities of our own behavior can either frustrate or amuse the horse, with all their 'learned patience'.

MIND or BRAIN --Let's not forget the human brain, -our God Given, that over-sees our immediate needs, making us respond in ways that complicate the communications with the horse.  This can happen against our wills --to do otherwise.

The HUMAN MIND (in theory), -houses our choices, learning, and memories.

We humans do not think in terms to separate the mind & brain, and perhaps we should, (theory) -for (layered) learning techniques or `strategies'.  ‘Soft Touch’ uses strategic 'Levels'!  Learn one level, and fully understood, before going to the next.

Knowing the horse keeps me grounded.  Not on my butt, flat out, -but with eternal 'knowing' to experience completion!  Humor lightens the load, chases the burdens, and gives a 'fresh look' to a situation, or 'feeling.

FEELINGS & EMOTIONS --It's fine to express your true 'feelings'.  They are real!

            E-motions can slow us down, even stop us, make us quit!  E-motions 'haunt us! Emotions are negative, --degrading.  -Enough!  Take the 'E' out of Emotion, and what do you have?  Motion!  Forward motion!  ---If that's the case, what does the 'E' stand for?

            How do we get rid if the `E'?  By Laughter!  At what?  The outrageous attempt from who puts the 'E' in our way (to block our progress) in the first place. After all, it is funny, isn't it, --after you discover, the plan?  We have been  'gifted' with laughter, and deception, is the greatest joke!  Get smart!

           There is a wonderful book and study about humor called 'Lighten up'.  Read it!  It will lighten you up another 'level', and you will have added security, knowing that humor opens us to the 'healing POWER' of God's Love.
           When with people without humor, we feel limited, -even burdened. To help people heal, burdens must be lifted, or temporarily shifted!  We tickle 're-call' with childlike play. Perhaps that is a great place to start ones healing,  in a sandbox, -or manure pit!
           Our inner child can be 'shocked' out (like a clap of the hand).

           I have taken great joy in hearing a manic-depressive (OVERWHELM, layered many times) chuckle for the first time.  From 'fear-to surprise', finding something to laugh at. 

            Yes, Humor is 'healing'.
  

 If raised with teasing, or bullying, humor may be very subtle!
