Motivation
Where can I get some of that?
This morning as I fed I happily thought "It's
warmer! I can ride!"
And then came this internal groan "lunging"
followed by "MUD"
Now look -- I'm in here doing this, not out there doing
that.
Sigh.
So, what to do when the turkeys are winning?
This had me thinking to explain: Motivation is not a one
and done thing. With horses, there is a continual
getting back up. Just like brushing our teeth, this
is something we may just need to keep doing.
I remember when I was starting out, a fellow came to do
some chiropractic for the horses and I asked him how long
he'd been doing it and I was like, 'wow, you're so lucky!'
and his response was more like a growled, 'uh, I'm totally
over it. My wife and I haven't had a break in <I
forget but you get the idea>' Here I am 30 years
later and I totally commiserate.
So, what do I do?
You may have seen on the website I do a bunch of
coaching type techniques. I say 'coaching-type' for
lack of something better. They work to release
the fabric of the pattern. There's no 'convincing'/'teaching'/'explaining'/'rationalizing.'
Think more along the lines of 'flipping
switches'/'awareness leads to action.' You simply
change. Some of these are good for
in the moment and some are good for long-standing patterns.
The easiest one for me when I remember it is to ask for a
flower essence and Reiki it in. (Today
this seems to require like three or four essences, tbh, but
I'm totally ready to head out and start the day now.)
The next time I hit MUD who knows? Maybe I'll need
some more flower essences.
If you know muscle checking and/or a pendulum, you could
easily do this at home. IE use the muscle
checking/pendulum to find the essence and then take the
essence. (Oh, and yes, I can pass the Reiki
Attunements and teach muscle checking.)
Another really cool approach is Wholeness
Process (WP). I would personally describe
this as Reiki and/or Orhto-Bionomy via guided
'meditation.' Once you learn this, it is in your hip
pocket! You can do it in the moment and it often
works rather well. If you have a longer standing
pattern, it might take a few sessions to clear all of it
with this approach. It's available through an online
course ~or~ yours truly! I have heard it said it
takes a year or so to get this under your belt. That
was not my experience but perhaps it has to do with your
background.
Speaking of Ortho-bionomy (OB),
there is an OB approach that is also insanely easy.
Move into the pattern and it releases in about a
minute. And, this works on physical structures,
too. (yes, I do mini-workshops if you're
interested.)
Also in the line up we have Core
Transformation (CT). This is a little bit
of a slow burn in that it's hard to put a finger on exactly
how good something gets or how quickly some thing gets
good. It does lead to a profound sense of well-being.
There's kind of a tipping point where all the sudden it's
FABULOUS! Like WP, this process can be learned and
kept in your hip pocket or you can be guided. Also,
like WP, this develops your own skill set to eventually
develop self-reliance. Once you learn it you can do
it yourself.
And of course there is Resonance
Repatterning (RR). If you simply want to
get the problem taken care of or get the goal alluring, RR
is the way to go. This is a really comprehensive
process tailored to you. It is still possible to take
the classes AND if you just want to 'get it done' this is
the one to pick. You don't need to learn it at
all. Sensitive folks feel the shifts in their field
and clients (of course!) notice the changes in themselves
and their horses.
In any event, if you want to give the processes I offer
a shot, I would suggest to expect four to eight sessions
for a given thing. Something that is long-standing is
most likely mutil-faceted. Resonance Repatterning often takes
care of things in one session, and there is always
improvement with any session, but I've not got a crystal
ball. Sometimes it can take longer.
And now, tbh, I'm getting impatient sitting here typing
this! I want to go ride my horses!

ps -- with all of these techniques you can pick a topic. ie I'm sick and
tired of mucking out stalls. I want to eat healthy. I sit the trot
well. I'm at ease in the canter. I'm calm at shows. I
spend money wisely.
pps -- so are you wondering, why is she still doing something
around this? well, it just keeps raining and getting cold and
yeah, I haven't hit that place where the turkeys don't sometimes
win. What's the saying? Into every life a little rain
must fall. It keeps it interesting.
