BEING IN THE MOMENT


Horses are experts to teach people how to be in the moment,staying present and enjoying what's happening right now. They are prey animals,so they have to be alert and keep an eye on their surroundings,otherwise predators may eat them.
For lot of people it is a real chalange to stay in the moment,be calm,enjoy nature and stop their thoughts for a while. That's why horses can help us to learn to be present and enjoy every little thing that is around us. They could bring us back to that state where you connect with nature and your soul and reborn again.It helps people to understand what their life is all about,what choises they should make in life to become happy and satisfied.
I have experienced myself and lot of other people how horses can change you and your life.
They came here to bring peace and wisdom on this planet.Every day they show me the importance to be in the moment and listen to my inner voice.
This world now is so demanding and it seems that time slips through our fingers and we have so much things to do,but we never have enough time.
The most important thing for me was to understand that I will never have all the things in the world and actually I don't even want to.Being in the moment when sharing teritorry with horses made me realize what I want in my life and how to achieve it without rushing things but taking it slowly,believing that everything I want I will get and just enjoying everything I already have.

Here is one story I would like to share with you.It happened when I was sharing territory with three horses.

It was a sunny day, but the wind was cold.When I came all three horse ladys-Railija,Livonija and Rafaela came to greet me.That day my mind was full of different and chaotic thoughts.I was trying to figure out about my life and what I should do with it.I was trying to find some voluntier work abroad and got two letters saying they can't accept me.But that didn't stop me from trying to find some other people who would be willing to share their knowledge with me about horses. I knew deep in my heart that there is somebody out there who needs me as much as I need him.I went to sit down and quieten my mind. I started to breath deeply and became more and more relaxed.After some time Railija came up to me,she stood close to me and started napping. Rafaela and Railija joyned us later. I was so relaxed that I could feel energy runing through my body.My heart beats resounded in my head and with every heart beat I opened up more and more. And then came silence. Nothing was there except the sound of my heart beats playing the rhythm of the drums.They awakened the silence around me,nature was dancing with the same rhythm as my heart did.Then I felt I have made a deeper connection between me and horses and now everything is possible.And something happened,I call it miracle-Livonija,she is a lead mare in the herd,she just layed down next to me. That moment was so special for me,because I know that for horses to do that it means they trust you enough to lay in this vounerable pose and that you have bond you share togather. My heart beats opened up the doors between us to a deeper connection and bond we will never loose.

This is how important it is to take time and do nothing with horses.Once you experience that, than it will change the life of you and your horse forever.
