Odin

Yesterday when I went down to visit my friend, I found him in his barn. He’s been spending a lot of time in there; God bless him, after a year of no shelter at all, I’m so pleased to see him embrace being indoors sometimes. I think he actually loves it in there. When I went in, he was quietly watching Shadowfax who was nearby resting. They both were already pretty quiet and relaxed so I just jumped right in, pulled up a chair and joined them, delivering the Present Moment to both of them.

On this day, I noticed I had some thoughts at first and once the thoughts passed, I had this song that kept singing itself to me over and over. I like the song, it’s called Human by Christina Perri, it has meaning for me, particularly on days when I feel overwhelmed, it’s a good reminder if you know what I mean, that I am only Human. On this day however, it began to get annoying. I wanted to focus on the moment, not the song. That said, I embraced the song and the reminder. I closed my eyes for a moment and took my focus deeper within. I called on the angels for some Grace, took a few deep breaths and opened my eyes again. Before I knew it, I could feel the energy around me changing. There was a strong vibration all around, as if, Light had descended upon us. I actually closed my eyes again to make sure that I was feeling what I was feeling. I looked at Odin and Shadowfax to see what their experience was. They had been so still, I did not really have to bring my focus directly on to them at all, but when I checked in, I was sure they could feel it as well. They were getting so very sleepy and trancelike. It was a beautifully peaceful moment. Of course, yes, horses often nap during the day, this is not unusual, what is unusual is how with the Trust Technique, they learn that they can trust and let their guard down and sleep near their humans. On this particular day, I was about 18″ from Shadowfax and 6-8ft from Odin. We stayed together in this moment of trust for about an hour or so. The following videos are a snips of a few sweet moments.

When I walked out of the barn, it was my hope that Odin would get curious and come looking for me, but in the meantime, I found Koda who was just opposite the barn in the grass enjoying the present moment as well. Was it just coincidence that she decided to nap behind me, or was she feeling the Light that descended upon us as well?! You decide.
