DO YOU KNOW HOW YOUR THOUGHTS ARE IMPACT YOUR EQUINE ATHLETE?

One of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal for shaping the working relationship you share with your equine athlete is your thoughts. Most of us go through the motions of training, relating, and working with our equine athletes without giving much thought to monitoring our thought patterns. This is a mistake because the thoughts you think during everyday interactions with your athlete is where achievement of relationship and performance goals is conceived.

The Facts:

All physical reality is made up of vibrations of energy. 

Every thought you think every word you say sends out its own energetic expression effecting physical reality. 

Your animal companion is highly sensitive to energy.





Because animals are highly sensitive to energy your equine athlete feels you before s/he sees or hears you. What I mean by this is that when you are communicating with your horse s/he receives the message you are sending energetically before s/he receives the information visually or audibly. Basically, no matter what you say or do, your thoughts dominate the communications your horse is receives from you.  So how can you harness your MindPower to impact the relationship and performance you want to experience with your teammate?

GET MINDFUL

Mindfulness is an integral part of  your MindPower and it takes some practice because most of the thoughts we think are re-active patterns or habits of our mind.  Mindfulness requires you to be in a place of high-noticing when it comes to your thoughts. When from a place of high-noticing you become aware an old thought pattern that does not support the type of relationship or performance you want to create with your equine athlete, you have an opportunity to shift that thought and align it with the experience you want to co-create with your equine athlete.

For example; When in a training session something goes wrong most peoples first reaction is. Why? This would be a pattern of thinking or habitual response that sparks the counterproductive search into the question, "Why is this happening" Please do not think that uncovering why your companion exhibits a particular behavior is unimportant, because it is. Helping people uncover the motivation behind their animal companion’s behavior is an essential part of my work as an Intuitive Animal Communicator, but in that moment its far more productive to get mindful. 

How you do that is allow your self to activate high-noticing, this means becoming acutely aware of your current thoughts. Are you feeling flustered, angry, embarrassed, disrespected, what is your current reactive thought pattern in the moment? (For those of you familiar with my in-the-moment message seining technique from my book Beyond Companionship this is process is a part of the acknowledgment step, getting clear about exactly whats happening in the present moment.) Once you be come aware of your current thought pattern you can shift those thoughts from reactive to co-acitve and that's mindfulness. By shifting your thoughts back into alignment with the experience you are trying to create for you and your equine athlete s/he is going to be receiving clear, unclouded information giving you greater ease and acceptance while working together. Once your thoughts are in alignment with the experience you want to have, combine verbal communication with positive reinforcement training techniques to support your equine athlete throughout the rest of your learning/working time together.

Bonus mindful tips for those of you committed to being a more conscious companion to your equine athlete.

Intention/Affirmation - Positive affirmations are a great energy shifting tool. What's your intention for the work you share with your equine athlete? How do you want the time you share with your equine athlete to feel? Answer these questions and develop an affirmation that can be recited in the moment to remind you of your purpose and help you shift from re-active to co-active.

Activate Heart-Space - You can activate your heart space by bringing your attention to your heart center, thinking of something you love a joyful memory, family member, or beloved pet can help you do this. Animal companions hold the space of unconditional love in our lives. Your pets true essence resonates with the vibration of love, so when you pause and drop into your heart-space in the presence of your animal companion you are literally tuning into his or her wave length. Once you have connected on this level any interaction that follows is going to feel more connected, communicative, and co-creative.

Conscious Companionship: Defined

Conscious companionship is lifestyle, a transformative way of being that comes from a more connected, compassionate and conscious way of interacting with the animals in your life. The term conscious championship came to me as I began working on my second book, the divinely inspired phrase is so in alignment with my my work as an intuitive animal communicator that I could feel the little hairs on the back of my neck standing up.  Even my soul began to hum.  As I continued writing the principles of conscious companionship moved through me and on to the page and my second book was birthed. 

It was not long after that inspired writing experience that I began cultivating the idea of a conscious companionship blog. A blog committed to sharing content that will enlighten, empower, and support you in cultivating habits, thoughts, attitudes, and interactions that constitute the mode of living in conscious companionship with the animals you share your life with. This is that blog. 

My name is Amy, you can think of me like an adorable blonde version of Dr. Doolittle.  I'm pretty sure I invented the #lovemydoolittelife one day while drive down the road chatting with a dogs who's ears are flapping the breeze.  I thank the pigs, the cows, the horses, the birds in the sky, and the squirrels in the trees for their presence here in this time and space.  I rarely walk by an animal with out a the a namaste nod. (More about that practice in a later blog.) I am a lover of life, seeker of truths, a fierce posssibiliatraian, and an intuitive animal communicator passionate about enriching the lives of all Beings who cross my path. Yes, I capitalized the B, for effect. I like to do things like that.
