Books with Spirit – Joyfulness between horses and people

Some books have the capacity to change the world -  “A Path to Happiness” is one of them.  Imagine a world where happiness and peace of mind is normal.  “A Path to Happiness” is a book that makes that possible. 

Your vote and in turn, you passing this information on to as many other people as you can, for other votes and the ripple effect of that, will give me a chance to get ”A Path to Happiness” eventually to millions of people all over the world and help make peace of mind and happiness normal.

This is a competition where the prize is to have your book published by Hampton Roads Publishing, with $50,000 worth of marketing for the book.  One of the reasons that I am so excited about this is because this is the company who first published the classic, Conversations with God, amongst many others.  

For those who are already familiar with my first four books,  “A Path to Happiness” includes the stuff in Pathway to Heaven, but is a gigantic leap forwards from that.  It has new insights that are still awesomely transforming my life over the last few days even as I write this email.  The possibilities for supported change in this combination of book and audio is incredibly exciting. 

In the Next Top Spiritual Author competition, 75% of the score in the first round comes from votes from the public.  And it’s in the voting that I am asking for your help.  

So if you have the time (after you have listened to my book proposal and voted on the link below) please let people in your circles know about the competition and the book and ask them to let their people know, to let their people know, to in turn let their people know and see how far we can eventually take “a world where peace of mind and happiness is normal”.  If you can clean up the old addresses and stuff from each email to make it more readable as you forward the email, that would be a good deal too. 

There are some other great books that you might like to look at while you are looking at the competition – you can vote for all of us if you wish, to go through to the next round of the competition:  

1.  ”A Path to Happiness” by Jenny Pearce – a book and audio set so profound in its insights, that makes it possible for the world to be a place where peace of mind and happiness is normal.  http://www.nexttopauthor.com?aid=490

2.   Luis Fernando Ruegger Ribeiro and Eduardo  Watanabe Ribeiro with their book ”Letting go the little monkeys – a choice between love and fear” – for those who want to see our children learning about who we really are, Luis and Eduardo have a book telling a story for all ages, giving opportunity to children exploring their feelings and emotions, knowing about their fear and love, helping them to find a path to spirituality. Here is their link. http://www.nexttopauthor.com/?aid=1742

3.   Stephanie Gavin with “SHAZAM! I Am That I Am” - The Journey Towards Inner Peace.  Here is Stephanie’s link  http://www.nexttopauthor.com?aid=496 

Thanks everyone, I love you!

Hey everyone, if you have ever been confused about where to set the boundaries with your horse (either yours or theirs) you have just got to check out Carolyn Resnick’s blog  this morning – it shines a whole new understanding on the subject – brilliant!  Carolyn slips in the really big punch line without much emphasis, so read carefully.

If you are brand new to the concept of boundaries, it is about when you say “no” or “no thankyou” to your horse – and it is a completely personal thing. 

It might be about how close he or she is allowed to come to you while you are putting the feed in the feedbin.  It might be wanting your horse to stand in one place while you you tack up, as a manners thing.  (If they were moving away because they were afraid or uncomfortable in the tack, then that would not be a manners / boundary issue.)   It might be about how close that you are happy for them to be when they are jumping and rearing and playing about (which I love to watch and be part of, but not too close to me, thanks).

When your horse was young, someone set boundaries (hopefully!!) that said it was not OK to kick or bite the human. Also hopefully, they set these boundaries clearly and without traumatising or confusing the foal.  Click here for a great story about solving a problem with a really badly biting horse.

Our horse has boundaries too – which many of us humans go trampling all over in our size 9 boots, which doesn’t do much for our relationship with our horse (and there is the understatement of the year). 

Here is a REALLY big question for you to think about.  What do you think are boundary issues for a horse?  How does your horse tell you that you are trampling all over his or her boundaries?  How does your horse tell you when you are crossing or about to cross the line?

Think about that and then come back to the comments button below this article and tell me what you think.

You can probably tell that I much admire Carolyn Resnick’s work, you only have to look at the way horses move with her, to know that she is a brilliant horsewoman.  Our book “Zen Connection with Horses” fits with and adds to Carolyn’s work by teaching “feel” really well - by teaching you the following things:

• how to know when it’s time to do something,
• how to figure out what to do, which technique (if any) to use,
• how to know when it’s time to back away,
• how to know when it’s time to take a break,
• how to know when it’s time to stop,
• how to know when it’s time to start again,
• and much, much….  much more. 

Zen Connection with Horses, the book which comes with audio lessons, takes you step by step through developing a really close connection and communication with your horse – and then you add that “feel” and timing and philosophy to get great results from everything that you do.

Click here to go to the bookshop for Zen Connection with Horses  Or browse around People’s Stories and Readers Letters (see the buttons on the right hand side of this page) to see the wonderful results that people are getting from this book and this way of being with horses.

This isn’t a trick question and there is no right or wrong answer – although the answer, even just asking the question, could be incredibly important to your relationship with your horse.    We will all answer the question differently, firstly because we are individuals and then because of the different circumstances that we are feeding our horses in.  

So what was my personal answer to this question? 

• I need the whole herd to focus on me at feed time.
• I need the whole herd to be gentle with each other while I am amongst them.
• I need them to go into their individual yards, quietly and wait for me to bring their feeds.
• I need each horse to stand back politely while I put the feed in their buckets.
• I need them to move over when I ask politely with my stick or the piece of rope in my pocket.
• I need them to remember that I am there in the yard whenever I am in the yard.

What is it that is so special about the horse-human partnership/s that you most admire?  What is it that you Just Say YES! to?

This connection and communication course will give you and your horse a whopping boost in the things that count most for you and your horse in your own horse-human partnership. 

You already know how to read your horse, you already have a connection and you already communicate together. 

For most of you reading this though, the communication and the connection are in your sub-conscious mind where you only use it sometimes.  We help you bring the communication and connection to your conscious mind – where you can use it all the time.  

When you learn how to use that connection and communication consciously and deliberately, you can get to wherever it is that you want to be with your horse – oh so much more easily. 

In this short course, we cover the physical ways that your horse communicates – the body language that you can see with your eyes.  Then we cover the mental and emotional ways that your horse communicates with you that is such an eye opener.   

It doesn’t matter what you do with a horse or how you ride, to find this connection and communication useful.   You might just want to be a confident rider with a confident horse.  You might ride English, western or natural or pony club.  You might be an advanced rider or an absolute beginner.  

This communication and connection happens before you even put a halter on.  Bring your horse or use one of ours.  The first day is here at Tanjil South, Saturday 27^th March.  Cost $130.   Each person bring something for the group to share for a convivial lunch together.

Ring me on 03 5160 1481 or email jenny@bookswithspirit. com (take out the space when you email me!) for bookings or more information.

I Just Say YES! to this footage of Carolyn Resnick playing with the young stallion Panadero.  This is not the normal footage of Panadero that you see making the rounds. 

It fits my image of what I Just Say YES! to, because of the obviously beautiful relationship between Carolyn and the horse, because of the way Panadero goes from being playful and expressive, to instantly listening and doing what she asks, because his stride is soft and rhythmic most of the time, his back is elevated most of the time and he is carrying himself beautifully most of the time.  I can just see how this relationship on the ground is going to translate to stunningly beautiful saddle work. Sheer poetry…
