I have done a lot of things throughout my life both for pleasure and for my work.  But nothing has captivated me as much as horses.  I have always loved nature and all animals but  I am fascinated with horses.  I know many people are.  People have asked me what is it?  I’m going to try to put feelings, sensations, experiences-magical and otherwise into words.

I know from the onset I will fall short because if you allow yourself to be still and silent enough when you meet a horse, the horse will impart to you the nonverbal and indescribable sensations that can be felt in your body.  It goes beyond your conscious thoughts and familiar ground.  It can be powerful, scary, comforting, magical, healing and a Oneness.  It is no wonder many equestrians have gotten into horse therapy.

When I stand next to Buck and look into his eyes there is a sense of other worldliness.  And I if am still enough I meet him in another dimension, where there is no time, the in between space.  I am in between the past and the future, just in the Now.  A feeling of something greater than myself flows in.   It could be called Love, or Mother Nature,  Energy or Spirit.  None of the words describe it fully.  It just is an experience that flows from him to me and me to him through our hearts.

Next thing is being on the back of a horse.  I have often wondered why a 1000 pound animal would allow a rider on their back and  do it’s bidding.  If I was a horse I certainly wouldn’t.  But then I am not a horse.  I know when  the horse is treated as a partner and with respect they will do almost anything for the rider.

As I sit astride Buck, I am focused  and feel myself getting in sync with the rhythm of his body.  His mane is flying in the wind.  He enjoys stretching out and does an easy canter.  I think about going to the left and before I give him the cue he is already going to left.  Rider and horse are one enjoying the breeze of the summer day.  I breathe easy and think trot, Buck slows to a trot.  I exhale and stop riding and Buck stops.   I live for those times.  It brings me home to myself, my Soul and Spirit.  It doesn’t get any better.

Buck was brought in from the Steen Mtn. in SE Oregon and is about 11 yrs. old.

Training Buck

Today was one of the coldest days since 1990, with the wind chill making it about 0 degrees.

Dogs like to ride ATV!

It is really cold out here.

I became a Quantum Touch Practitioner in August 2007 and Instructor in July 2008. QT is an easy to learn method of hands-on healing that combines very specific breathing techniques and simple body awareness exercises-to create a powerful, yet natural, field of healing energy. QT has been tested in clinical settings and used in hospitals and operating rooms. It has received numerous endorsements from doctors, surgeons, nurses, chiropractors, massage therapists and many others in a wide range of fields; acupressure, Reiki, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, sports trainers and more. This healing method is simple, easy and complements my healing practice.

Testimonial

========================

I have been a health care professional since 1970 when I graduated from Tacoma General Hospital as a registered nurse.  After working many years in the hospitals, nursing homes, clinics and chiropractic offices, I went on to get a Bachelors in Health Arts and a Masters in Counseling from University of New Mexico.  I had a psychotherapy practice for 15 years.   

I became a Quantum Touch Practitioner in August 2007 and July 2008 a Certified Instructor.  

I believe we should do what gives us joy, feeds our soul and live in our passion.   Horses are my great passion, training and communicating with horses has given me a deeper understanding of using Natures’ energy.  Oddly enough through training horses I was led to Quantum Touch and from there to working with a State agency in pain and disease management, training the client to do Quantum Touch and breathing exercises to decrease their pain.  I have seen many kinds of ailments respond to QT including; rheumatoid arthritis, brain injuries, migraines, scoliosis, sprains and depression. 

I also see private clients who are having physical and/or mental emotional and spiritual challenges.   This healing method is simple, easy and complements my healing practice.
