Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night around 3AM. Its always a time when I am at my most anxious. Cedric told me that there was some biological reason for this but Ive forgotten what that is.
When this happened last night I thought about the horses and I was instantly soothed.
Try this as a meditation.
Think of an animal you love. This of what its like to touch this animal and imagine their smell. Think of the velvety ears, the affection given freely, the spirit of adventure, the endless forgivness, their spntaneous exuberance, their sense of community and attachment, their enduring loyalty and the gooey face the do when they see you. Think of their innocence.
Imagine gently touching them on the nose and notice how they express pleasure and joy and how they touch the very world they live in with their unwavering presence.
Now think of something that distresses you.
Notice where that is in your body and what it feels like.
Now take your animal to that part of your body and hold it there. Let their energy silently heal that part of you and let your grief give way to softness, acceptance, and eventually... love. 🐐
