Your Kidneys, Bladder, and Riding!
Orientation

Just in time for Winter, when the Water element comes into its own and the Kidney and Bladder meridians are at the fore, here is some information about how how you relate to your kidneys and bladder affects your riding.

Here's an artistic picture of a kidney!

In my Body-Mind-Centering classes, I am learning a deeper appreciation of the systems of the body.  In the most recent class I attended, we explored the kidneys and bladder.  Since then I have been playing with and observing how these organs assist me in my riding.  In the next few pages I hope to share some of what I'm finding out.

Some of the topics will be:
where the kidneys and bladder are, and how to connect with them
how the kidneys and bladder provide direction 
how the kidneys and bladder relate to straightness, steering and turning, 
how the kidneys and bladder relate transitions and self-carriage.

there may be more topics!

I am discovering the depth of this awareness more and more every day, while continuing to incorporate the processes from the other systems.

And if you find this interesting, there is more where this came from!

Are you looking for something more in your riding?  Something that really connects the inside and the outside? Sometimes a hands on experience can do a lot to clarify something written.
I've studied horse and human anatomy for twenty five years.  I started with Centered Riding and that is solidly based upon how bodies work and how brains process information.  I know Alexander, Feldenkrais, Trigger Point, myofascial, Ortho-bionomy, how to develop resistance training programs, and more recently I am incorporating concepts from Body-Mind-Centering.  I've done yoga for more than forty years, studied (and used) the chakra and meridian systems for over twenty.  Sometimes I don't go into theory because in the middle of a lesson it would detract from the practical learning of how to ride, but I do clinics where I share this information along with how to incorporate it into your training program.  And if you really don't mind listening to me yak forever, I can easily do that during a lesson, too.  It's just most folks want to ride!

"The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities."
