Karen and Raballi

We are working horses this morning on the ground. That means that we are not riding. Raballi is a weanling and learning to lead. Karen is walking and Raballi is following when she wants to stop he is not listen.

Karen let me see if I can help you. I want to push on you so you can feel how your roots are working this morning.

OK, Karen says.

I don’t like this pushing stuff. Karen says.

It’s not about liking it Karen it is about having ground. See if you can hold your feet to the ground and handle the pressure from the hand on your chest, your going to be able to have the amount of ground needed to show Raballi who is the leader. Right now he thinks he is.

I can’t! Your being to aggressive…. Do you have to push so hard? She says.

Karen I am not being aggressive but your wanting to be aggressive to deal with the pressure. That is even OK but go down to your feet with that energy.

Don't feed your mind that you want to have a fight of some sort.. That is just your ego and your very week from that point. A horse could not give a wing on a fly about your ego.

You are wanting to be aggressive Gary, Karen says.

Look into my eyes and tell me if I am wanting to be aggressive.

I am here to help you but I can’t help you unless you let me.

OK, I am here Karen says.(this was a beautiful moment of humbling)

That is it Honey! Yes that is it. Now go try that with Raballi.

The horse stops. Yea!

It is all about getting the energy to your feet. What does that mean? From the top of your head where the energy comes in to the heart and then down to the tummy. The next big step is to get through the pelvic floor.

Here lie some of the most powerful muscles in your body and even though energy can go through anything it takes awareness to be able to make it happen. Pass through the floor and your 90% there.

All that is left is to hang out and let the energy go all the way to the feet and into the electrical invisible root system. Your grounded now... It really is easy it might take some practice but it is not hard.

Thank you for reading, Gary
