Books with Spirit – Joyfulness between horses and people

I am passionate about happiness, horses and healing - in no particular order there. 

I am passionate about our ability to find happiness, about ways of healing and being with horses that empower people who want and who are ready to do and find it themselves.  That passion is reflected in the varied subject matter in this newsletter – with yet another wonderful advance in people’s ability to heal themselves and feel REALLY good!

I am always looking for and finding “new” approaches to old problems.  (Some of them aren’t really new, but just new to me.) After all, if we do what we have always done, we will get what we have always got.  And I don’t know about you, but new ways of looking at things have been very good for me. 

Prepare to be blown away by my newest discovery!  Enjoy!

• To ride or not to ride?   There is a movement gathering some momentum around the world, where people are doing brilliant and beautiful work on the ground with horses and choosing to not ride at all.  Some of these people are working on the ground because of research that says we damage the horse’s back by riding and shouldn’t do it.   This article is my reply to the question “Where do you stand on riding the horse?”
• Causes of rashes in dogs and ways to reduce or eliminate them.   I am an alternative therapist and specialise in animal work (although I have a large people practice too) and the other day I had yet another poor dog with a very painful rash come into my clinic.  I see this so often, it is such a common problem.  Over the many years that I have been working, the same causes come up as problems in healing sessions time after time after time.   So here is an article about some of those simple causes of rashes and ways to reduce or eliminate them.  
• Making an effective homeopathic medicine for any virus for people and animals.  I have done a separate heading here because it is such a big deal, but the information is in the article above, where there is a link to my website for making a homeopathic medicine for horse flu and swine flu that you can adapt to make an effective medicine for any kind of a virus – for animals or humans.

• The healing power of effortlessly powerful posture.  Here are some step by step instructions for horse riders and non horse riders alike for an effortlessly powerful posture that will blow you away at the positive effect on your body.  This posture actually protects your body while it allows inflammation, even arthritis, to heal.  Practice this effortlessly powerful posture while you walk and blow your mind about how much it will help your riding!
