Working with Rosie and the horses is a truly life-changing experience. I have been able to take sensitivity of myself to deeper levels, which means interactions and interacting with others with as much sensitivity. I have been able to respect myself and my needs. Respecting oneself gives you the ability to respect and acknowledge others. It opens up a different way of communication which feels authentic, reflexive and dynamic, in the moment. On a base of acknowledgement of who you are, where you are and the story you have lived. Engaging with the ever-present emergence of now.
It has given me deep time to reflect. Time, I have gifted myself. Presence in its raw form and beauty. An opportunity to feel, however uncomfortable or wondrous. A space and a place to be me. A place to explore this with others. Somehow this has given me hope for the future. That it can be different. Life doesn’t just have to ‘crank on’ it can be emerging, a keeping on coming into myself and others with presence. I feel equipped now to face this emergence with all facets of myself to choose the next path and not be shuffled along.
The power of the horses to really ‘be’ with you. The deep trust and reflection they bring is a gift as is Rosie’s guidance and insights and presence. Trust the process, there are many rewards. I have found the ‘awe’ in my being again. Even with the challenging and hard false selves, I am curious. I had forgotten about all the good in life. That childlike curiosity, the joy, the fun, the creativity. I am just as much these things as the ‘drag of life’. Ha! In acknowledging this suddenly much less drag! Instead, an interested, curious, bouncing presence authentic self. Also, a solemn, respectful, bold authentic self.
I can be with and navigate others in a whole new light. Things are more ‘ok’. I understand and feel empathy for myself and others. There is something about being present that is truly humbling and beautiful. Even in the dark times, it’s soothing because it is real. In the light times it has let me feel such true delight, wonder, and awe. The now has become a place of solace, an emergence, expansive no matter what my mood or circumstance. Presence.
