Hon satte sig tillrätta vid sidan om den Herrelösa hunden och blundade för att försätta sig i sin dagliga meditation. En dag hade han plötsligt dykt upp på hennes favoritplats där hon brukade sitta och meditera. Första gången de träffades hade han ”bara” stått där och tittat på henne när hon öppnade sina ögon. Där fanns ingen rädsla emellan dem, utan en vibration av vänlighet och ett behagligt lugn.

Plötsligen kom en massa tankar inuti hennes huvud med känslor som kändes i hela kroppen. Men hon visste att det inte var hennes egna tankar. Hon tittade sig förvånat omkring.
Din rädsla gör det till en förvirring. Var inte rädd, följ endast med likt floden som strömmar nedåt. Se det som om du sitter i en kanot, låt åran vila i ditt knä. Ta bort dina tankar och känslor för då kan du höra mina tankar klarare.
Försök inte att paddla uppför ett vattenfall. Det som händer är att du blir rädd att du inte klarar av det och förlorar kraft.
Min vän, ingen har klarat av att paddla uppför ett vattenfall.
Hon stirrade på den hemlösa hunden. Han satt lugnt bredvid henne stirrandes ut över horisonten.
Var det en dröm
Försök att inte analysera allting under tiden det händer. Följ med i flödet (flow)
När du vågar vara öppen utan dina egna tankar, det är då jag kan kommunicera med dig.
Vilken kväll igår som gäst hos Carina Lidbom, alltså tiden flög iväg. Det var första gången jag gjorde livestream.
Carina verkligen fick en att känna sig hemma och trygg. Hon lyssnade och guidade mig genom olika djurberättelser. Ibland glömmer jag hur mycket jag gjort och varit med om.
Man hinner med mycket även om det känns som om livet far förbi.
Tack alla lyssnare och tittare, det var så underbart att känna er närvaro igen. Jag har saknat Er jättemycket känner jag.
Till alla er som arbetar med och för djuren, andra djurorganisationer, till er som adopterat, fortsätt med er kärlek. Där finns plats för oss alla.
Frågor som skickades han jag inte läsa — så ni får gärna skicka dem igen till mig.
Many of us carry around some kind of grief from different experiences in life. Maybe from childhood, loosing a friend, family-member, or a pet. Grieving can also give us a feeling of not being seen or heard, a deep inner sadness. At school or working-places being bullied, verbally or physically. But it can also be in a sport-club were you are supposed to be included as a team-player but are not being accepten.
Grieving can damage our confidence.
Grieving is ‘normal’ and it’s good to feel the emotion, however, it is important to recognise it, identify and slowly work it through. The importance is to find your inner sparkle again. Maybe your lost motivation.
Working with Animals for the last 25 years has shown me an amazing results of helping humans out of their sadness. Dogs and Cats have during a long time been fantastic companions–many of us knows that. We talk to them, they make us go out (also up from bed) and when we hug and pet them, our body reacts with love.
Horses has been an amazing journey to work together with. They do not judge us, or say things that can make us feel worse. (no eye-rolling there!)
Julia is one of our rescue horses. She can be extremely calm, and got a great amount of patience (if food is not near by) She herself recovered from a depression two years ago.
A ‘Mother’ was going through a bitter divorce, not only with emotionally battles, but also with financially difficulties. The only thing ‘Mother’ wanted to do after a long time of abuse was to have a quiet ‘normal’ life. But she was surprise to find out she was carrying around with a lot of grief, under all the layers of other emotions. Grief was one of the emotions she never thought she would feel–in her mind she should feel happy to be “free” not sad. When we looked a little closer inside of her mind, we found out she didn’t grieve the marriage, she was grieving the lost of her ‘dream’ from having a family. When she mentioned this to some of her friends, they looked at her saying, “Thats not normal! “
But it is ‘normal’ to grieve a dream which you invested hard work in, love and maybe children. When ‘Mother’ heard that, she wrote her grief down in a Journal to put words on what she felt. She had heard about Julia, therapy horse via her psychologist (and contacted me). ‘Mother’ couldn’t afford her own horse, and her daughter was madly in love with horses.
Thanks to sponsors can we give others a ‘stress relive emotional day’ together with the horses. The first thing ‘Mother’ said when she arrived, “I noticed I am breathing slower right now!” ‘Mother’ and her Daughter got Julias cleaning box and started to brush her. Small giggles could be heard from them while brushing her. They took a walk through the forrest in silence, only accepting the moment they had together. Nothing else could be done right then.
Twice a week, on their special days, are ‘Mother’ and ‘Daughter’ coming to the stable to have a couple of hours together with Julia. ‘Mother’ feels more relaxed and have accepted that her former dream she actually can re-change into a new dream.A new beginning for both her and her daughter.
I call it, mentally detoxing.
This happened a couple of months ago, and ‘Mother’ is slowly getting her emotions under ‘control and acceptance’. With different contacts were we able to get a horse for free for them–there are many ‘older’ horses out there that needs/wants a new home. And they are all for free.
They are not sick–many times are they former professional horses that goes into retirement. We call it– ‘Thank You for Your Service Retirement Stable’
The new horse stood and ate in the corner in his new box. I could sense he was very relaxed when I peaked in to him. He looked at me with his curious eyes.
The horses brought my anxiety level down very quickly. I could breath slower, and it was like I felt my thoughts became clearer. Could that really be possible?
I had been sent to the farm by my psychologist. She told me I needed to surround myself with animals in my recovery program, not only talking and eating medication. Animals, and especially horses and dogs, had shown amazing results in clients recovery. And what was even better, the clients continued with animals long after they had been healed. It was like an enormous thankfulness, and the feeling of being accepted, not judged, covered in thick unconditional love, and patiences. The therapy horses were indeed perfect therapists.
I longed to get to the stable and brush them and even talk to them. Today there was a new horse. When I walked into ‘his’ home I made sure I felt respectfulness and gratitude towards him. I had learned from the owner, that I shouldn’t worry about anything else, only to be aware of my thoughts. The translation into energy would work itself and the horses would pick it up. The horses would react on what I did, and felt inside. The horses would also teach me boundaries, a good lesson I could bring back to the outside life.
The owner told me she could communicate with animals. Something I wasn’t sure was possible.
She shared what her first horse hade taught her. Yes, she was a strong believer the horses were her teachers, not opposite.
“I am not only listening to your words. I listen to your use of words, the tone, and even your body language. Your eyes, your face expressions. I can even hear everything you don’t say.”
💚 Marriage, engagement, pregnancy, a new child, are all amazing things to celebrate, but they are not the only things. Don’t forget to celebrate your friend who ran a marathon, who left a toxic relationship, who went back to school, rescued/adopted animal(s), who is taking steps to heal from trauma (I can go on and on 😅)
Since 1999 have I been in the Animal Rescue Life of Living.
Oregon I rescued thanks to Tracey Kleber big support. We got four other Rescue Horses that we brought back to feeling alive again. Feeling appreciated and loved.
At the same time they are giving me back so much more. They also not only appreciates me, loves me, making me feel alive again, they teach me to be in the moment.
