Breathe Love & Magic

Curious about the Faerie Realm? My guest reveals her real-life stories of the Fae, opening the Fae Portal and connecting with your heart and mind. Fae Folk in America Contrary to popular belief, the Fae Folk can be seen across the globe. Even here in America, you might encounter faeries and elementals while taking a walk in the woods or in any wild place in nature. I’ve seen them in my own backyard! My guest this week, Barb Gallagher, visits a special wooded area with a babbling brook that was once part of amusement park that is like an open door to the Faerie Realm. She thinks the residual joyful energy from that park of the past attracts all sorts of Fae Folk to the spot. Who Are the Sidhe? I asked Barb about all the kinds of faerie folk she’s seen which are quite a few. First, we talked about the Sidhe, which are descendants of Tuatha de Danann who were children of the Goddess Danu. This is from Celtic mythology. Other common names for the Sidhe are the Shining Ones and the Good People. They are Fae royalty, tall with long blonde hair in earth colored clothing. Think of Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings – so handsome with those pointed ears! Then she revealed that she has a Sidhe guide, a male who she has spent many lifetimes with. Today, he encourages her when it comes to learning about the faerie realm and offers guidance about communicating. Sepia-Toned Creatures One time she was walking in the woods and had just put down an organic apple as an offering, when she was suddenly surrounded by hundreds of sepia-toned beings about 2.5 – 3 feet tall. Barb freaked and ran out of the woods. She explained how this was a great honor, but she never expected to see so many at once and felt unsafe alone in the woods. It was frightening and she shut down. Later, she went again and just one of the gnome-like creatures came forward. Barb apologized for running off and expressed her fear. He told her that she’s never alone in the woods and pointed to her Sidhe guide. Brian Froud has captured what many of the faeries look like, but he focused on the not so pretty type. This reminds me of my own experience when I told Pan, king of the elemental world, that I was ready to see them. Suddenly hundreds of unattractive beings stepped forward through the tall grasses at the edge of my property which shocked me completely. Sending them away, saying I wasn’t ready, I felt shame and terribly sorry. I didn’t mean to be insulting but I should have asked to see a few at first to get used to them. Tree Spirits, Sylphs, & Undines Next, we talked about dryads which are tree spirits. Every tree has its own dryad and they facilitate communication between trees. I once stood on a massive stump and discovered how vibrant it still was, even after being chopped down! My husband felt this too although he’s not into the woo. Trees, even when chopped down, broken, or rotting, still communicate with and nourish other trees. Stone beings have spoken to Barb in those same woods. When you see a tree with roots that seem to grow out of the rocks or down over them, this is a sign that faeries are in the area. She learned this from Celtic Shaman Jane Burns and I took a class with her myself on this same topic! So, keep your eye out for that when walking in the woods if you’re looking for the faerie realm. How do the elementals differ from the fae? The elementals are about the earth, so beings like sylph which are air beings and undines which are water beings. The sylph help the dandelion seeds spread through the air. And I’ve seen the Undines at the Westport, CT library which sits near the river. They jumped, flipped, and splash like dolphins. Barb thinks of the faerie realm as including both the Sidhe, little faeries with the wings like pixies, and the elementals. A bit more Celtic lore, the Sidhe had a battle eons ago with the Malaysians living in what is now Ireland and they lost. So, they agreed to live underground in the other world. Sidhe actually means from the mound. Why Talk to the Faerie Realm? This is all a lot of fun, but I asked Barb what she gets out of communicating with the Fae or what she learns. Barb says her heart gets full and sometimes she hears beautiful messages. One time she had hurt her back and she heard intuitively to go outside and lay of the grass in front of her garden. She laid down on her back in the sun and a blue being swam through the ground taking stuff out of her back and when it was done, she got up and her back felt good again. She’s also been guided to make flower essences for other people and she follows the advice. Later, looking up what she made, Barb discovered it was perfect for the emotional healing a neighbor needed. Going back to how her heart gets full, I asked what that was about. She said she felt a part of her that was missing was returned. I suggested that she might have felt connected to everything. It’s only through our human lens that we feel separated, but that is not true. Opening a Fae Portal What about Fae Portals? Barb took a class with a woman who taught about the Faerie Realm. She received an email saying that the Fae requested portals be opened on a certain day in the United States, so they could interact more easily with people. The Fae wanted to start bridging the gap. One day she was at a friend’s cabin in the woods with her husband, and she followed the instructions to open a Fae Portal. Fast forward a year, she and her husband were walking through the woods near the cabin again. Suddenly, her husband stopped and pointed out a strange occurrence. Leaves were floating 3 feet above ground moving in a circular pattern that was parallel to the earth! This was a bit shocking to him since he wasn’t familiar with faerie magic. Then Barb recognized where she was and remembered she had opened the Fae Portal a year earlier. This was their faeries’ way of letting her know her efforts had worked and they appreciated what she did on their behalf! Amazing. Yet, when she went to Ireland, hoping to meetup with the Fae there, she was instructed not to even try it. The human- Fae relationship there is more contentious. Over time, humans started blaming the Fae for things that happened. For example, if a cow died or the milk was sour, they accused the faeries. How to See the Fae Start by connecting with nature. Set the intention to see and talk to the Faeries. Come from an honest place in your heart with love. And do your best to trust what happens. You might see them first or hear them – everyone is different and this is dependent on how your own intuition works. For me, I read a lot about the faeries and elementals. I read several books about the Findhorn Garden in Scotland – they grew amazing vegetables with the help of the elementals, plant devas and more. In addition I read several Tanis Helliwell’s books including My Summer with the Leprechauns and The Elves of Lily Hill Farm by Penny Kelly, among many others. I hope Barb and I inspired you to go outside and commune with nature and the faeries because they’re real! The post Listen To Real Life Stories of The Faerie Realm appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Manifestation Coach, Danielle Marggraf, shares her journey from poverty to prosperity by using her body, not her brain, to attract wealth. She explains the Law of Polarity and choosing what to focus on to manifest abundance. The podcast discusses the challenges of shifting from a lack mindset to embracing abundance and the importance of somatic healing. It also explores the power of making firm decisions, aligning with one's purpose, and embodying success to attract wealth.

Stuck in a thought loop that makes you unhappy? It’s time to focus on what you DO want, vs. allowing your brain to dive into negativity. I’ve been giving that advice out lately to friends, family and clients. This stems from the Law of Attraction which states “Like attracts like”. What that means is if you keep thinking about what you don’t want and feeling badly about it, unfortunately, you could get more of the same! Here’s a tenant from Hawaiian Shamanism: “Energy flows where attention goes” It sure does. That’s why you want to catch yourself in that negative and unproductive thought loop and shift your thinking to what you DO WANT! Makes sense doesn’t it? Not so easy but it can become a new habit when you set that intention. Plus, it offers not only relief but also helps you create what you DO WANT! That’s a much better way to go, right? So, that got me thinking. Does this message apply to my life? It sure does and this links back to my last podcast snack about How to recover from a big fight fast. Turns out, I’m not totally over it – LOL. Although I’m so much better now. Listen to this very short podcast snack and find out what it’s all about and how you can apply this helpful method to your life as well. You know, in case you do any unwanted, repetitive thinking… The post Focus On What You DO Want – Podcast Snack appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

In this special Halloween podcast with my guest Marla Martenson, you’ll hear how I see dead people, about her witchy visit to Salem, MA, stories of dream paralysis and visitation, and so much more! A super fun and spooky episode to celebrate the thinning of the veil. Marla’s Salem, MA Adventures Marla went to Salem on a sacred retreat with her Shaman, Rizz, a full body trans-channel who allows Red Eagle, a Native American spirit to speak through him. With his wife, they lead sacred trips all over the world including Japan and Ireland. But this time they went to Salem. Rizz walked through the 10 bedroom Italian style villa in Manchester by the Sea that they rented for the group to feel the energy of the place. He chose the most haunted room for Marla! But she talked with the spirits before going to sleep, asking them to be kind and allow her the rest she needed. Thankfully they respected her wishes! Current Salem Witches She took a tour with the Mushroom Witch, pointing out local plants. Then another tour with Venus, a Witch dedicated to Love and the Goddess Venus. She always wears pink and red told a tale about sailors who would dock and go to the pubs to hear local stories and learned about the witches. That’s how Salem was dubbed the Witch City. Marla visited where the witches were hung in Salem and the group said a few prayers over the land. At this point the Massachusetts government has exonerated all the witches from the 1600s that were killed. There’s also a story how one of the two young girls who started this whole witch hunt by accusing women, went to the court after to admit they made it up! Now there’s some tough karma to work through. Why Is Salem Witch Rich? The reason Salem has so many witches is that they filmed an episode of the TV show Bewitched there. There’s a huge, life-size bronze statue on the green of Samantha Stevens the show’s main character. When I was in Salem with my husband a few years ago, I got my picture taken with it! Then in the 1970s, Laurie Cabot, one of the most famous US witches, had called the fire department to have them help her get her cat out of a tree. They wouldn’t come. But Laurie needed help, so she called again saying she was a witch and her familiar was stuck in a tree. That made the fire department curious and come running. The news reporting of this story gave witches everywhere the inspiration to let people know who they are. And over time, many gravitated to Salem, MA. What a great story! Marla’s Paranormal Story Marla did do some ghost hunting while there, on a tour with the group. They were in the basement of where the original courthouse building had been with ghost hunting equipment that picks up voices. The groups split up and she held the voice box, but little was heard. When it was time to go, Marla spoke to spirit saying, “I wish you  would have come through but we have to go, so good night.” Then from the voice box, they heard a male spirit respond saying, “Good night.” They all jumped and laughed. House Hunting & Ghost Hunting When I was looking for a house years ago, a realtor took me to see this adorable two bedroom home. The minute I climbed the stairs to the bedroom I turned right around and went back down. Someone had died in that house and was still hanging around! I just wanted out. Marla pointed out that billions of people have died anywhere you go and there’s nothing to fear. People die and move on. She spoke a bit about the recent passing of her mother and how there’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s just the soul leaving the body and returning home. While that’s true, ghosts are souls that have gotten stuck on earth and didn’t move on. Even still, Marla asked, “What’s the likelihood of one of those ghosts actually hurting you?” Pretty much slim to none really, so that’s something positive to keep in mind. Clearing Ghosts from Properties I had a podcast guest in the past who specialized in clearing houses, buildings and land of ghosts who were hanging around. In that episode, Tina Erwin shared a prayer you can say three times to chase away lost spirits and help them move on. Learn more about Tina sending ghosts to the light here.  Tina mentioned that someone had walked through the battlefield at Gettysburg, PA, a famous site from the civil war, saying this prayer and hearing spirits say, “Thank you!” Family Ghost Stories Next we moved on to talk about some of my own family ghost stories. At my aunt’s gravesite funeral, while we were all standing around saying prayers and watching her be put into the ground, she appeared to me sitting on the neighboring headstone. We didn’t speak but I knew it was her. However, she looked so much younger and I didn’t know her at that time in her life – I hadn’t been born yet. After we went to my cousin’s home for a meal, and there on the table was a photo of her mom, looking exactly as I had seen her! I had never seen the picture and was completely taken by surprise about how she looked. That’s who I saw at the cemetery, so that was beautiful confirmation for me. Driving in My Car After my uncle died, as I was driving home from a gathering, all of a sudden I felt more than one presence in the car with me. I was alone so this was a bit of a shocker. I could tell it was my uncle who had just passed, and his mother and father which were my grandparents. My grandfather had died just before I was born, so I never knew him, but had seen photos. None of them said a word, they just saw quietly while I drove. This was so long ago that if it happened now, perhaps I would get a message or have a conversation. Who knows? Visitations from Mom & Dad I did see my dad at a distance at his funeral. But my mom took center stage! Here’s what happened. I was the last one to say my part of the eulogy, and then the service concluded. For some reason I turned to look behind me as people were mulling about and leaving the room. Behind me was a stage and sitting at the edge with her legs dangling was my mother! I was shocked to see her there and said, “Mom, you’re sitting on the stage?” Like questioning what she was doing. She replied, “Why not it’s my funeral!” Good point mom. Certainly couldn’t argue with that logic. I’m sure if I’d been in a better state of mind, I could of thought of something better to say. But unfortunately, we didn’t talk any further. She does visit in my dreams from time to time, on occasion with my dad too. They’ve given me hugs, often when I needed them most in real life. Sweet, right? Marla & Dream Paralysis Then Marla talked about dream paralysis. She asked if I’d had any experience with this and I answered yes. it’s a bit scary for me. Anyway, Marla told two amazing stories on this subject. The first was about being held down to the bed at her wrists and how she called about Archangel Michael and Jesus to help her. The other was about a visit from her East Indian husband who held her hand and spooned her – you’ve got to listen to the podcast to get those details Enjoy! Halloween Mini-Readings – $25!

Have you been through a bad fight or breakup and want to get over it fast? Check out these tips to reclaim your power and bounce back from emotional devastation. Let me tell you my story. To Hell and Back I feel like I’ve been through hell and back after an unexpected fight with a family member. Out of the blue this person just started screaming at me. OK, I admit I did mention something minor that had bothered me, but the reaction was so over the top, it was shocking. Nasty things were said to me. Cold, lacking in compassion or any empathy. I was mostly quiet due to the shock factor. At first I tried to defend myself but then I tried to just get off the phone. It was awful and honestly I was devastated. I just couldn’t understand where this outburst came from. You’ve been there too, right? So, what comes next? Tears. Lots of tears. A virtual flood. Mostly at night when I was trying to sleep. I also cried as I told the story to friends who were as shocked as I was. Many tried to come up with reasons. I don’t really care why. There’s no reason to speak to me this way. So, I suffered for several days in my tiny pity party. How Can I Move On? Then I slowly started to think of what could help me start to move on. Sharing the story with empathetic friends certainly helped. Journaling about the situation and my feelings was good too. But I still needed more. I smudged myself. I used a smudge stick with sage and sweetgrass and swept over my entire body. Then I saged the entire house to clear it of this emotional tumult. I listened to a lot of meditation and yoga-like music. This was soothing for my soul. I also made hot chocolate one morning. Doesn’t that cure any problem, for a little while? But I was still hurting and didn’t feel like telling the story to another soul. What else could I do? Energy Work & Visualization I had a session with my chiropractor who does a lot of energy-based work. He said my energy field was burning red and so he poured green light through my crown chakra down through my body to the root to balance my energy. Green is not only the opposite of red on the color wheel, but it’s the color of heart healing. You KNOW I needed this. In addition, I took a couple of Epsom salt baths which are wonderful to draw out toxins and sooth sore muscles. A hot bath is relaxing anyway so this was an excellent choice to help me recover. I visualized healing my heart. Seeing it as a clear quartz crystal that had been cleaved in half and allowing it to heal and come back together into one whole heart. I did another visualization that I was riding a river and allowing the water to wash over me, clearing my energy field of all this muck. I had a hollow reed pointing up from my mouth so I could breathe easily and let the waters pour over me to cleanse my spirit and soul. Chanting Shifts Your Energy Chanting had always been a go-to method for shifting my energy. So I started with Ra Ma Da Sa and moved on the a devotional chant to Ganesh – the Hindu God of problems solving. They say that when you call out to Ganesh, he is honor bound to come and help you. Over the summer I spent an entire month chanting to Ganesh every morning and doing this again also helped me sooth myself and find a bit of peace. Working with Ganesh lead to my breakthrough. I realized that all this negative thinking was not helping. Yet, my brain was drawn back to rehashing the conversation over and over. I thought about what was said, thought about what I said, thought about what I wanted to say and still plan to say. Ridiculous! All this negative thinking is the very antithesis of manifesting. If I continue on this path, I can expect more of the same – disharmony, emotional pain, unhappiness. That’s not what I want! Empowering Replacement Thoughts Then it came to me. When I catch myself thinking about how hurt I am, I need to shift the dialog to something positive! What I heard to say was, “I am at peace with this person, whether we speak or not.” Now I have no plans to call and make up because I feel like the wounded party. I want an apology. I’m not going to ask if we can talk about this and open myself to more potential yelling. I just have to leave it in the hands of the Universe. For me, I have NO idea how this can be resolved and I see a much quieter holiday season on the horizon. But working with Ganesh, I realized I don’t need to have the solution. The Universe can provide one. My job is to let this go. Stop thinking all the negative stuff. Stop rehearsing my speeches and rehashing what happened. Drop it! This is NOT easy, but I am making a good stab at it. I am calming down by catching myself going in circles in my head and stopping that freight train to say, “I’m a peace with this person whether we speak or not.” Ahhhh. That feels much better. Take Back Your Power This new direction allows me to take my power back. I can be who I am regardless of what was said to me. I am in charge of me. How I feel, what I think and what I do next. So, if you find yourself in a similar situation, this is why it’s good to work with an intuitive coach like me. I can see what’s happening with you more clearly because I’m not emotionally involved. With lots of training and 20+ years of experience, I have access to many simple tools that can help you turn your situation around quickly. Whether you want to try intuitive coaching or get a quick intuitive reading or past life reading, you’ll get the insights that can help you shift your energy and feel better. I look forward to helping you for whatever reason you choose! The post How to Recover From A Big Fight Fast – Podcast Snack appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Experts discuss the concept of 5D consciousness and the idea of a new earth split into 3D and 5D realms. The conversation explores the evolution of Earth and humans, blending dimensions, and the possibility of different tribes coexisting. It questions practical implications of ascension, the blurry lines between 3D and 5D, and the idea of evolving into a higher vibrational energy. Are you ready to embrace the ascension rollercoaster?

Ready to improve your odds of finding love after 40? Two long-time dating coaches share their essential secrets in this revealing episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast! Dating Trends Today, I’m speaking with my favorite Dating Coach, Debbie Rivers, and we started this episode talking about dating trends. The first one was “Infladating” which is an awkward and ridiculous combination of inflation and dating. I asked Debbie if she thought this was a new idea. We both laughed – No! However, in the post COVID world, things do cost more. The idea is to have inexpensive first dates, since you will be having several if you’re serious about finding love. However, both Debbie and I always recommend a short, low budget first date vs. a fancy dinner. You don’t know if you’ll even like each other, so don’t get roped into a long, expensive meal. Who wants to sit there silently munching when you wish you could dash out the door to go home and watch Netflix? Other suggestions are not surprising like going for a walk in a well-populated park or boardwalk, getting a cup of tea/coffee, a drink, ice cream, or appetizers. You can get creative and find cheap, fun things to do. Maybe go to a farmer’s market which would give you lots to talk about. Often there’s coffee or pastry to enjoy as well. Another suggestion is called “Fating” which is Fitness-Dating. Both of us agreed this isn’t something we’d enjoy. If you’re both into fitness, that’s cool, but do you want to get sweaty with a man you just met? I guess that’s up to you. Sharing an activity is a really good idea and improves your odds of finding love after too. Why? Because it takes the pressure off if you’re doing something together that can reduce judgement and get you beyond the grilling conversations people frequently engage in. Sex on the First Date? Interview With Debbie Rivers The Downside of Labeling Today it seems everyone has dated a narcissist, yet they only represent 5% of the population. That means you may have met someone selfish or dated a guy who was not into you, but not necessarily a true narcissist. Let’s keep things real. The same goes for gaslighting. This is a situation in which a person spent time strategizing how to lower your self-esteem and make you feel crazy. That doesn’t happen overnight and you usually know someone a while before this takes hold of your relationship. While it’s possible you met someone who was unkind, thoughtless, self-centered or an all out liar, they probably weren’t actually gaslighting you. It happens, but it’s not common. The other place that labeling has become popular is with attachment styles. Many people have identified their attachment style and use this as their reasoning for why they can or can’t do something. But in truth, this becomes a crutch or even a handy excuse for not taking responsibility for yourself. If you haven’t heard about this concept, it’s from the book, Attached by Amir Levine. Labeling Creates Barriers to Love Labeling can definitely become a barrier to dating and decrease your odds of finding love after 40. Another way this happens is through judgement about people, especially snap judgement. Whenever you meet someone and can hold back on judgement, you dramatically increase the number of people you get to know and the possibility of finding a good match. It’s essential to give more people a chance and get to know them. This takes time, but the results show it’s a very worthwhile investment. It can take up to three months to really get to know a person. Go into your dating as if you are on an open-minded adventure. Otherwise, when you put up barriers to lots of people to stay safe and avoid heartbreak, you’re actually creating walls that prevent you from finding love. Falling in love requires a level of vulnerability. Not stupidity or being a doormat, but a willingness to take a calculated risk about who you’ll spend time getting to know. Yes, you need boundaries and it’s important to know the qualities of the person you’re seeking. But you also have to take some risk and go down the road a bit with a few people to get to know them better. Everything can’t be decided during a single cup of coffee if you want to improve your odds of finding love after 40. Learn about Conscious Dating in this podcast. Camping Was a Deal Breaker Debbie admitted if she had she met her partner at a speed dating event she would have said no. One thing that turned her off about him was that he wanted to take a camper and travel around Australia. After her divorce, Debbie traveled to 35 countries, so camping held no interest at all. However, she started dating the man she’s been with now for three years during COVID. You couldn’t do foreign travel and so she agreed to the camper and drove around. Debbie was shocked to discover she loved it! They had a great time and was so glad she hadn’t let camping be a deal breaker. Even though she has all this knowledge about dating, she might have made a wrong turn. How did she get past this deal breaker? Debbie said he was quite persistent and asked her to, “Give us a chance and go on a date.” Debbie says women think they are going to know the right man immediately once they meet. But that is not true and she’ll admit it readily about herself. She would have missed out on this great guy if she stuck to her barrier of “no camping”. We both shared how our clients often end up with a wonderful man who is not the guy they expected or imagined. But they get their needs met with a good man who they wouldn’t normally have considered. Gender: Equal But Different Yes, men and women may be equal in intelligence, ability, and more. But in no way are we the same. We communicate and think differently and often come at situations from very different viewpoints. When you judge a man based on what you expect from a girlfriend, you could be dooming yourself to failure. That won’t help improve your odds of finding love after 40. Go on Three Dates I always encouraged my clients to go on three dates with a man who has potential. If you aren’t sure the spark is there, but he seems like a good guy, go out with him again. This is part of the Ball Park Theory of Dating. You need to spend more than an hour with someone and give a guy a chance so he can show you who he really is versus making a snap judgement. That’s how you miss out on a good match. Yes! A 3-Letter Word That Opens Your World I had two single girlfriends who realized they better do something different if they wanted to have more fun and meet more men. Social opportunities would crop up, but they were tired, didn’t feel like it, or wanted to stay home and watch TV. However, they recognized this would not help them find love! These two women over 40 decided to try something truly revolutionary – which was to say “YES!” to whatever came their way. So, they said yes to barbecues, free concerts, summer beach rentals, and more. They bought fun props to help them meet men like crazy sunglasses with margaritas or martini glasses on the frames. This made it easier to talk to men, as they were being flirty and friendly. These two women had the summer of their lives, and today they still reminisce about the fun they had together. Learn to make saying “Yes” a new habit and see how your world opens and expands. You’ll be amazed and happy with the results. There is so much more to discuss but this post is already too long, so you’ll have to listen to the podcast to get the rest. Debbie is full of brilliant insights and suggestions!

What do horses have to do with finding your truth and healing? I learned about healing with horses in this week’s episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. Discovering Equus Coaching My guest this week explains how she became an Equus Coach and shares remarkable stories of transformation for her clients. Horses can do a lot more than take you for a ride! I started by asking Jenn how she went from being an award-winning ad executive to becoming an Equine Coach. When this journey began, she’d just had a baby who had some developmental struggles, so there was a lot to juggle. Before having a baby, Jenn had worked with a life coach who helped her quickly figure out whether to have a baby naturally or adopt. Reviewing that pivotal time, the idea came that coaching might be a good career change for her. She had a longing to help people. Her own life coach had studied with Dr. Martha Beck who had a spiritual life coaching school. On this fateful day, Jenn opened her lap top to discover the details. Then she shut the cover within minutes because she didn’t have that money and wasn’t free on Tuesday afternoon for an entire year. 5 Minutes to Manifest Just 5 minutes later, her phone rang and it was HR, letting her know she’d been downsized! They gave her a year severance, plus a check coincidently, for the exact amount of the program. Now she had the money and was free every Tuesday! Jenn felt full of joy at this news! In that moment it became obvious something bigger was at play in her life. Everything had lined up literally in minutes to make her new direction possible. Once she started the program, Jenn did a Shamanic journey with Dr. Martha Beck and saw a horse who gifted her a brass ring. Her life coach partner suggested she start working with horses to see if she liked it. The idea came that perhaps Equus Coaching was Jenn’s new path. Next, Jenn found a horse farm for an internship that was willing to teach her everything about horses if she helped them move and she worked with them for 6 years soaking it all in. She never dreamed they’d accept her within one hour of sending her application! Healing with Horses As it turns out, there are many benefits of equine therapy and Jenn’s foray into this arena also helped her daughter. When her daughter was 4, she started riding horses in a therapeutic program. Within two years, her language disorder was completely gone and her recovery was confirmed with a neuropsychological evaluation. Nothing else worked including speech therapy. Amazing! Healing with horses works in many ways. Jenn says the horses gait is actually a big part of the healing in equine therapy. Apparently, therapists find the exact horse with the right gait to do the type of healing required. How Jenn Works Clients don’t actually ride horses when working with Jenn. Instead, Jenn and her clients talk about the situations they want to change outside the horse’s paddock. The next step is to notice the horse’s behavior after talking for a while, to get clues about what is underneath preventing clients from having what they want. The horses actually reveal the truth about what the clients feel, since often their words and feelings are often not in alignment. In other words, you might think one thing, but the horses will reflect what’s going on in your subconscious mind. Yes, they are highly intuitive! They provide non-verbal, non-judgmental biofeedback. So when you are “lying” to yourself, the horses will show you exactly that. Horses excel at providing clarity on what needs to heal AND on showing clients their own magnificence. Healing with horses helps you unwind cultural biases or from family and more. They cut to the truth quickly. Case Study #1 – Finding Love One client, let’s call her Samantha, had an abusive father, which as it often does, lead to having an abusive husband. Samantha told Jenn that she’s a brilliant woman who is rocking her career, so why can’t she figure out how to find a healthy relationship? Jenn invited her to come to the farm. As Samantha shared her story and wasn’t being totally truthful with herself, the horses were standing on the other side of the paddock. But, when she started to get at the real truth, the horses came closer and connected with her heart. Basically, Samantha believed she couldn’t hold a firm boundary with a narcissistic, abusive man which is why she couldn’t break up with one guy and he ended up stalking her. After a cord cutting and healing with horses, everything seemed to clear up. From then on, Samantha became more present and clear-minded about her beliefs and within two months the wonderful man she’s with now came into her life. Samantha admitted she never would have given this guy a second thought in the past because he was too good. But after the benefits of Equus Coaching, she could see how he was a far better match for her. Case Study #2 – Conversation with Her Husband Jenn loves to lean into the mysteries and the magic of the Universe. Me too! What blew her mind was that she could do this work over zoom! The horses still respond even though they cannot see the client. As with most things it’s all about the energy. In session with her client, Barbara, they talked about a conversation she wanted to have with her husband. As Barb laid it out for Jenn, the horses showed her through their body language what could work or cause more fighting. For example, when Barbara said something that would escalate the situation, the horses ears would pin back and appear less cooperative. This alerted her to the parts of the conversation that needed a better tone of voice or word choice, so she would be heard all the way through. Barbara learned how to approach this type of conversation with love which changed her communication with her husband dramatically. Horse Dynamics Give You Clues Ultimately, healing with horses reflects back to you exactly what you most need to know for any situation you present. The horses play out the dynamic and heighten your awareness when you know what to look for. Of course, Jenn is a huge part of this magical process. On any given day you might try this yourself if you had access to horses, but Jenn is the facilitator, helping this process unfold. That’s the horse whisperer part, right? Jenn is also a Shamanic Reiki Master Teacher and she does Shamanic Equuus Coaching if her client has something she wants to create or manifest. Listen to more on Shamanism Are Horses More Intuitive Than Other Animals? Jenn’s perspective is that horses have a higher level of consciousness and are more intuitive. She’s seen more of this type of exchange with horses, but she doesn’t discount other animals at all. However, if you’re not a believer, you aren’t likely to have a powerful experience. You need to be spiritually open and curious to get the benefits of Equus Coaching. There are a string of other fun and fascinating stories Jenn shares including transformative client examples, shaman tales, and animal communication. I shared a video about the most amazing story about a black panther named Diablo in an ethical animal conservatory in South Africa, but you’ll have to listen to the podcast to get the rest. (Makes me cry every time I watch it!) Ultimately, this is another episode that shows us we are all more connected that you might think on the surface. Knowing this can spread peace and unity, cooperation, respect and love.
