The soul of the horse

"It is the mind that builds the body."- Goethe

It was the horses that have always accompanied me on my journey through life. They were the ones who gave me hope and courage in many sad moments of my life and saved me from ruin.

It was completely normal for me to perceive my counterpart intensely. By intense, I mean that I felt everything that my counterpart radiated. I felt every thought, every tension so intensely that I hardly knew whether it belonged to me or not. I felt some symptoms physically and some thoughts were so present as if they were my own thoughts. It was therefore completely normal for me to communicate with the animals around me. I could tell at a glance whether they were sad or wanted to tell me something. Just like this one bay gelding that I met with my family. I found the presence and knowledge of horses magical. In my childhood and youth, they were the horses that made me feel good and through which I could see myself. This bay gelding was beautiful and I couldn't help but watch him graze and feel him. He noticed me immediately and ran up to the fence. It was - as so often - a magical moment. Many of the people present didn't understand what I was doing. I communicated with him and I sensed that he was not well. He was very lonely and alone and he was happy that someone was finally listening to him and taking notice of him. I stroked his fur very gently and carefully, as he was very sensitive to touch. The moment was very intense and left a lasting impression on me, as the gelding showered me with love and gratitude.

I asked my family if we could help him as he was unhappy and would rather be somewhere else. But they didn't understand how I came up with such thoughts and why I even said such a thing, because it was just a horse.

This moment and many other moments were very painful for me because, again, I didn't understand why my family didn't perceive what I perceived. And why they didn't feel what I felt.

There are many people on this earth who have the same abilities as I do. Many are clairvoyant, some are clairaudient and hear the calls and pleas of those around them. Others are sensitive and can sense what is going on in the other person. The terms clairaudient, clairsentient and claircognizant describe special forms of intuitive perception that go beyond the ordinary senses. Clairaudience is the gift of perceiving messages, sounds or vibrations that remain hidden from others. It is as if you have an antenna for the quiet voices of the universe. Clairsentience is the ability to sense emotions, energies or moods on a deep, intuitive level. You feel not only your own world, but also that of others - sometimes like a warm ray of sunshine, sometimes like a cool tremor. Clairvoyance is a sudden, clear insight that appears as if out of nowhere, but carries deep trust. It is as if you receive information directly from the source of life without knowing how. This knowledge is immediate and precise - a kind of inner GPS that guides you through decisions. I am convinced that each of us has one of these special abilities. A new mother knows what I'm talking about because she immediately recognizes what her baby needs to feel better. It is only through our system, through the fast-paced lives we lead, that we have stopped accepting and training these senses In our history, we have been warned for thousands of yearsagainst openly living out the abilities of intuition, clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience. Simply talking about them could be enough to be punished with death. Even today, this is the reason why we do not allow ourselves to talk about such situations or gifts. The fear of being rejected or cast out is still present.

Even as a child, I was intensely aware of my surroundings. When I touched someone, I could feel exactly how energy flowed and my hands began to tingle. This was a sign for me that my counterpart had physical or emotional imbalances. As I was often labeled as crazy or excluded because of my gift, I quickly learned to suppress these impulses, which came naturally to me, because no one wanted to see or hear what I had seen or heard. People were uncomfortable when I exposed their tall tales or spoke to them about certain issues in their lives. As best I could, I suppressed what I had felt, seen or heard, cleared it up for myself in silence and sent healing energies to my counterparts, especially the horses.

The horses at my side

When I was eleven years old, my parents made my dream come true: I was allowed to learn to ride! I was finally able to realize my dream and be close to the horses that meant so much to me. I started riding in my home town. At first I just took riding lessons and looked after the school horse. I learned everything about horses - what to do before and after riding, how to groom them properly and, above all, howto handle a horse. I remember that day like it was yesterday. When I was more involved with the school horse called Garfield, I felt these impulses more strongly again. I could no longer suppress these impulses - Garfield's calls. I felt strongly again whether this horse was doing well or not and said things like: "What's wrong with the mare because she's so unwell?", "Why does your horse feel so lonely?" or "Your horse doesn't like it when you talk badly about him." Many owners couldn't relate to these statements at all and didn't know what I was talking about, because their horse was fine; it had everything it needed.

More and more people distanced themselves from me. Many didn't like me for who I was and what I saw. They excluded me - and I no longer understood the world. In riding lessons, things got tougher and tougher. I was supposed to use my feet more, drive the horse and ride more dominantly, but I felt that this wasn't right. I sensed that the horse "Garfield" was in pain and no longer wanted or was able to cope emotionally and physically. And yet he would do anything for people, because he would never forgive himself if he failed or if his rider was disappointed in him. It was terrible for me to see how he seemed a little sadder to me every day. I kept suppressing these impulses, even though I felt so strongly that he needed love and affection. That he needed an energy exchange - or healing energy.

One day, I couldn't take the situation any longer. I could no longer ride Garfield and I told the owner that Garfield was suffering from all the stress and had back pain. But I was met with a lack of understanding; after all, he had to teach many children how to ride and Garfield was doing a good job. Garfield was super well-behaved with the children and if he really didn't want to, he would show it. After all, she had been around horses a lot longer thanme and she would see that straight away. It hurt my heart not to be able to do anything for Garfield.

Such statements were not unknown to me. I doubted myself and my perception. Even today, I sometimes feel sad that I didn't do more for some horses. I believed that I was wrong and that what I perceived was not right. I felt like an "alien" who couldn't find a connection in this world.

I promised myself a long time ago - especially when I was doing a lot of training to better understand the horse and be able to help it holistically - that one day many riders would see their horses in a completely different way and that the horses would have a much more harmonious, loving home as a result. I knew that this was also my spiritual path that I had to follow in order to make a contribution to the horses. To show the world how wonderful horses actually are and that they deserve to be treated the same way we humans are - with reverence, humility and love.

The horses were the ones that made me feel alive again. For a long time in my life I felt rejected and not good enough. What I felt was too much for me. I closed myself off completely. I hid my heart behind a wall so that no one could get too close to me. I could no longer let life into me. I cut myself off from my surroundings so that no one would see that I wasn't good enough. I only wanted people to see what I wanted to show them, my good sides. I was lost and hid behind a façade. On the outside I looked like the cheerful, funny Nina, but on the inside I was fighting for my survival.

Through evolution and the idea of constantly going faster, higher and further, we have completely distanced ourselves fromour inner wisdom - from our intuition. There is no more time for feelings and empathy. Away from spirituality towards more selfish behavior. Material possessions were more desirable than someone who looked at you with everything you were. But that is exactly the direction we are now more often taking again. Many are hearing the call of their soul, which is asking them to embark on new paths and leave old dogmas and beliefs behind. Many things that have been suppressed time and time again want to have a place in our lives. The call of inner growth, because this is the path we should all take.

"Only the completely free creative experience of our being allows the deep essence of our being to be expressed in all its manifold forms. If we succeed in connecting to the creative primal force that is present in all of us, not only can healing processes become part of a natural process, but a new naturalness will also awaken to the experience of our own self. The emptiness of the spirit will give birth to the fullness of life. A birth in the here and now."- Vishwamitra

Awareness

Our physical system is governed by our inner, conscious beliefs and imprints, not the other way around. Our beliefs and ideas determine the experiences we have in life. This means that we are often responsible for what we experience because of our conscious or unconscious thoughts. It may sound harsh, but no one from the outside can implant our thoughts in us. It is we ourselves who confirm what we see on the outside insideand tell ourselves: "Nobody sees me" or "I am nothing." The pressure on our shoulders or the anger we feel are constructs that we ourselves acknowledge and allow - and this is how they manifest themselves in our lives. Only when we accept and acknowledge that we are partly responsible for this ourselves can a change take place and we take responsibility for what is.

If we are aware that we can change our experiences, (pre)judgments, attitudes, impressions and behaviours, we will also realize that we are very often restricted in our lives by what we believe and lock ourselves in a prison. This prison often takes away our ability to breathe. You probably know those situations in your life where you feel all over your body that something is wrong. At that moment, you question what you are doing and realize that your inner truth is completely different from the reality you are currently living.

I had some imprints in my life that prevented me from realizing the life I really wanted to have. My parents had a complicated relationship. My father spent most of his time working abroad, almost from the beginning, when my mother was pregnant with me. My mother was at home with us children for as long as she could. There were many ups and downs in my parents' relationship. We all suffered from the fact that our father was rarely at home and we hardly knew him, just as he hardly knew us. This had a huge impact on me as a child and I swore to myself at the time that I would never want a man by my side who was away at work and rarely at home. I would always have liked to have had a father by my side who was my rock.

I was in a happy relationship and my partner and I completed our relationship with a child together. I became pregnant at the age of 22. This was the same age as my mom had her first child. I was five months pregnant when my boyfriend and soon-to-be dad left for work; it was the same time as my mom. Everything was going smoothly until one day I realized that I was living the same life as my mom. The scales fell from my eyes. Due to the imprinting I experienced as a child, I could only create the life, these experiences, this reality that I knew. I hadn't questioned my actions and thoughts at the time - and thus deprived myself of the freedom to choose something else. Not only did I deprive myself of the freedom to choose something else, but also my family and my boyfriend. Up until that point, I was trapped in an endless circle. It was only when I realized what kind of life I was living and that I was following old imprints and patterns that did not correspond to my truth that I was able to muster the courage to change my life. Within a few weeks, my boyfriend had another job.

You're probably wondering why I'm telling you about this here. I want to remind you that you are the creator in your life. You are allowed to question what you do, see or feel and be completely honest with yourself and ask yourself if this is really your truth about life. Many people who have a "bad" life can do nothing but constantly talk about the lack - the "bad" in their life. This hardens their condition, because the power of thoughts and the mind can not only heal, but also destroy.

This also applies to our beloved horses. Many riders have the following thoughts about their horses: "Oh, the stallion is just taking the piss!" or "The mare is being bitchy again." Thesethoughts don't help our horses either. On the contrary, these prejudices also prevent them from showing their fullpotential. Behind every behavior of our horses is a sign - a cry for help from their souls. If something is not working or the animals are behaving stubbornly, we as riders should ask ourselves what we can improve or change ourselves so that the horse feels more comfortable in this situation and can develop its full potential. Only then will the horses feel seen and heard.

What can you change as a rider to turn the situation around?

What do I need to do to be calmer and clearer in my communication?

It is not the horse's fault that the horse refuses to get under the saddle or breaks away, but the human being who is unmistakable in his communication - in his body language. Regroup, take a deep breath and change your attitude towards this situation and your horse.

Exploitation

With the awakening of our ego consciousness, a world of separation began. This new perspective made us experience the feeling of lack - the feeling that something is missing. It was the origin of a way of thinking that led us to exploit ourselves, our fellow human beings and nature. Everything we perceived seemed to exist only as a resource that we could use to our advantage.

Why did we feel this way? Through the awareness of separation, we saw ourselves as isolated beings, detached from the greater whole. This isolation created anxiety, a deep sense of neediness and often greed. Instead of feeling embedded and connected, we saw ourselves and our environment as objects to be controlled and manipulated to fulfill our perceived needs.

This pattern is still reflected in our social systems today. Whether in the education system or in the world of work - those who do not meet the prescribed requirements are replaced, substituted or downgraded. This attitude inevitably conveys the feeling of not being valuable enough and leaves many of us in emotional crisis.

Social structures and our upbringing have taught us to live from the outside in and not to take our inner truth seriously. We treat ourselves and our environment as our property. This object perspective has alienated us from ourselves and we feel separate - a meritocracy has emerged.

You're probably wondering why I'm writing this in this book. We also treat animals as if they were our objects. If they don't work the way we want them to, we use medieval methods. We look for external solutions to make the horse work the way we want it to. We use ropes, cords or reflex points to bring the horse into a certain position. We exploit the horses to the full. We feel superior, give them no food or water and lock them in stalls without any contact with others. If the animal is mentally or physically broken, it is simply exchanged and "sold off". A cruel way of dealing with a living being, but we don't know any other way, do we? Because we don't know any different ourselves, we have no problem exploiting others and exploiting ourselves in order to keep the wheels of meritocracy turning. After all, it is important to be socially respected - at any price.

In which areas of your life do you feel exploited? Or are you exploiting yourself?

To what extent do you feel exploited by others?

In what situation do you turn your horse out?

Our job as humans is to take a step back and give them the space to find their own way.

By learning to intervene less and instead develop trust in the horse's abilities, we enable a natural and harmonious cooperation based on mutual respect.

Touching

I have met many horses in my life. Horses that were ridden in different disciplines and had a lot to say. They all loved to be touched by the simple laying on of hands and the flow of energy. Through my training in Cranio Sacral Balancing, conducted by a wonderful, inspiring teacher, I learned to completely switch off my mind, place my hand on certain points and just feel where the energy under my hands takes me. From the very beginning, I was inspired by the statement:"Become still and wait until your dust has settled and your air has become clear. Then you will be able to feel the other person and sense what they need to create more clarity, peace and balance."

This is exactly what the horses have taught me: to become still, to listen to what the "wind" wants to tell me and then to follow the energy under my hands.

Through this transfer of energy, the horse has the opportunity to experience peace, balance and harmony in an unnatural environment and a world full of stress. This enables it to release pent-up energy, stress and emotions and bring itself back into balance. I myself always tell my clients and students that I only act as a source of inspiration and only show them the possibility of change, letting go and transformation. They are the ones who transform the energy and bring their body back into harmony with their inner nature. We can't force anything, we can only be a catalyst for new possibilities. What is meant to happen always happens - trust the process.

I continued my education, especially in the field of alternative medicine.

Just Heal

"Real healing comes from within, from the soul itself, which radiates its harmony to the whole personality through the benevolent power of the Creator, if only it is allowed to do so."- Edward Bach

Even in ancient times, it was common practice to use the hands as a transmitter of healing energy, which was sent to the soul of an animal or person. Even Hippocrates spoke of the healing power of our hands. According to Hippocrates, healing is a result of the action of natural forces and can be achieved by strengthening a person's life forces. This form of healing is even older than herbal treatments, which are considered the forerunners of our modern medicine.

Indian texts from the Vedas, which are more than 2,000 years old, describe universal energy. They describe how to channel it through the energy centers or chakras deep into the cells of the human body. To this day, touching with the hands is used in a wide variety of cultures. Healing was and is therefore a process to achieve wholeness, the healing relationship of the human being.

Many cultures are convinced that there is such a thing as "life energy". It flows within us and can show us in which parts of our body there may be imbalances. In Japanese medicine, this energy is called Ki, in traditional Chinese medicine Chi, in Ayurveda it is called Prana and the Greeks call it Pneuma. They all believe that life energy flows in every living being on this earth. It is the essence of the body, the spirit. It could also be described as a vibrating, flowing energy field. By stimulating this energy flow, the body can heal itself. The aim is to direct positive energy towards this life force and thereby dissolve negative energies.

What are positive or negative energies?

Science has proven thatour thoughts also have a vibration. This means that we also vibrate negatively when we think negatively. Our energy then has its own way of vibrating. Both the universe and each individual body cell has a vibration, pulsates rhythmically and is constantly changing.

Modern science has extensively researched energetic phenomena and discovered that everything on earth - living or not - is part of a comprehensive energy system that includes the cosmos. These forces influence us and every other living being every second of every day on this earth. You can think of this system as a river: It is constantly in motion and can always change. However, if there is an obstruction in this river, a stone so to speak, less energy can flow there. When a problem arises in our body, the energy system is disturbed or impaired and the chakras - our energy centers - are thrown out of their natural vibration. Even the smallest obstacle can then redirect the flow of energy and change its direction. It is the same with our energy system: disturbances can arise not only from physical imbalances, but can also be caused by emotional imbalances.

By laying on hands, we can influence and dissolve these blockages, emotional traumas or similar. When I touch someone, I act as a radio transmitter. I perceive the frequency of my counterpart and feel where it has been interrupted. I recognize where the song or melody has changed, so to speak. For me, these are energetic imbalances that can also have physical effects, such as illness, tension or blockages. I follow this energy and bring the frequency back into harmony. I tune it back to the harmonious song it should be. By releasing these imbalances, the physical system can regenerate and healing occurs.
