Riding through fields of lupins!

Do you ever have one of those moments that feels completely surreal? Like there is no way that it could actually be happening? And yet somehow you are in it, and it is absolutely magical...
Today's ride felt a bit like that...we rode out behind the ranch into rolling hills that have been calling me since I arrived. Said hills, on closer examination were blanketed in fragrant blue lupin, setting everything, including the horses, in a purplish haze. The phrase "Where is my camera?" came to mind! What a thrill to gallop through these beautiful vast spaces filled with wildflowers on Diva. The sun was shining, the wind blowing and it was if my senses couldn't quite take it all in. I guess this is what it feels like to be blissed out!
Needless to say, tomorrow awaits as do those hills and so many adventures.

Opening the communication lines

Well, today marks the end of a great animal communication course with Marta Williams! The untapped potential of the human mind continues to baffle me...
It is as if we often completely neglect certain key functions, which, studies say, were in use up until about 8,000 years ago. These include our 6th sense (knowing), as well as the subtle senses, which allow us to intuitively gather accurate information from each other as well as plants, trees, animals and other beings. It seems now like not having this information at my fingertips would be akin to missing a limb, they are that crucial to my understanding of my inner and outer worlds.
And yes, we all have these subtle senses, even though they might be covered with generations of conditioning. It's all a matter of letting them rise to the surface. Often, the first step is moving out of our own way. Our beliefs, mostly negative, might hinder our progress. As Marta explains, you've just got to move right through, and if you don't feel like you're getting anything from an animal or a person, start by making it up...just guess what might be happening. It may not be accurate, but its a great way to move yourself of the bench and onto the playing field.
I would strongly encourage every animal owner to look closer at their animal with the help of your subtle senses. Also, know that everything you think or say they understand! Talk with them about what you are doing, where you are going or what you would like them to do.
And as always have fun!
