When we let go of what we think is best for us, we can receive what we truly need.
~Ā Anthon St. Maarten

Sometimes I feel like things are out of my control. Itā€™s a very uncomfortable feeling for me. I want to control everything.

Today when I was having a massage this came up several times. I was told to surrender control of my head to her. Then my legs. Today I often found my hands and jaw clenched. I often find myself clenching when the massage gets deep instead of breathing into the relief I know it will bring.

This is where horses help. They live in the moment. They donā€™t worry about how things happen. When we get into our heads around them, they will bring us back to the present. This might be by stepping on a foot ā€“ that gets our attention.

Horses can also help us gain confidence. If we are not confident about what we are doing with the horse, they wonā€™t work with us. As Iā€™ve helped women at the Hope Held by a Horse breast cancer programs, Iā€™ve felt the horses stop when the women are not speaking their truth. You canā€™t fool them. Horses know what you are feeling even when you donā€™t.

Iā€™ve seen the horses help with making decisions. They can feel the energy in what you are saying and help you see the right direction.
