Wow, so much to catch up on. Many years I spent with my Monster. I am confident now that it has not been conquered but diminished to a more proper and healthy size. That Monster is Fear. Fear is a powerful thing. So is shame. Add the two together and they can wreak havoc in ones mind. I can now rely on my monster to be helpful when appropriate and to back off when not....

I was working on this very subject while negotiating the buggy outdoors on horseback today.Of course Amy has a put it far better than I.

Something my teacher Theresa Doherty talks about a lot is making use of evasions. I’ve been hearing her talk about this for years but it’s finally starting to sink in.

When a horse evades our request, most of us firm up, quicken, add more energy, lose our physical and emotional balance. We focus on getting what we want and turn the moment into a battle- horse vs us.

Theresa asks me to stay calm, not quicken and remain balanced. She asks me not to pull, and to follow the horse for a second- with a little give, I can get back in balance with the horse, and turn their evasion into a constructive movement. In essence, we use the energy the horse intended to evade with to teach a balanced and beautiful movement, thus bringing the horse and us back together.

Instead of fighting, if we give a little, we get a lot. But it requires an incredible amount of self awareness and control, and aquiring that is a lifelong endeavor for most of us.
