FEELING THE HORSE CONNECTION

Blog #16 Dec 5/15  

Well I do believe I missed Nov entirely! It was a very busy month from start to finish. The most exciting part was our “Roycan Fall Energy Healing Workshop”. This workshop is working with our horses in our Equine Personal Wellness Programs.

Most of us would agree that owing any type of animal does give you to some degree enjoyment, pride, comfort and love. From a very young child I had this connection with horses. We didn’t have fancy expensive horses. Two of them were work horses that dad used to clean out the barn with and move hay. But one summer he came home with a quarter horse gelding. Just my size and really trained well. He loved moving cattle and if I didn’t hang on while he herded then I was on the ground. I remember one time the bull wouldn’t get moving and the gelding decided it was his job to get him going. I’m not sure who was more determined the bull or the gelding. I was just there for the ride and hanging on. Needless to say the gelding won!

Through the years I have seen amazing connections between horse’s and their owners. Sometimes it’s like watching a dance.

Recently our grandkids have started to take an interest in our horses. They have no fear. But to stand back and watch the connection and bond they have with each horse tells a story all in itself.

Horses mirror the emotions of people. They feel your moods, your energy. They comfort when you need love and a hug. They are amazing listeners.

In the last 10 years we have worked hard to create our Equine Personal Wellness Programs. We’ve seen and experienced some amazing healing with our clients emotionally. The biggest thing we learned was to get rid of our “Ego” and allow the horses to be the therapist and healers.

In our fall workshop we witnessed that during the day. Those that could let their ego’s disappear had some incredible stories to tell afterwards. Their personal relationship with the horses will never be forgotten.

I invite you to visit our website www.roycan.ca we have numerous workshops planned for 2016 and limited spaces.   

Here's our 2015 Video 

Enjoy your Christmas Season.

FACING CHANGE

Blog #15    Oct 29/15 

Not sure where this month has gone! Each day is filled with schedules, creating memories, self-care and of course spending time outside.

In the last two weeks there’s been a lot of changes both with our government and our personal life.  Changes either makes you “Happy, Sad, Anxious or Fearful”. The key to change is that we are totally in control of how “Change” affects us.

We’ve all done it at sometime in our life and allowed the negative feelings to surface and control how we deal with change. I must admit I allowed “FEAR” to control a lot of my situations in the past.  But here’s what I learned.

First of all I needed to realize I wasn’t in control but I was in control of my feelings and actions. Life throws situations in our way. Good and Bad. I totally believe that there’s a High Power that is much smarter than me and has the bigger picture.

2^nd I needed to understand that when situations arise I needed to take care of myself first so I was healthy enough to help others. I needed to be aware of my energy levels and not stay in the extreme high mode for long.

3^rd I needed to always stay close to nature and take moments to just stop and appreciate what was right around me.

4^th I needed to listen to what my inner wisdom was trying to communicate to me. Sometimes that’s the hard one. But I’ve learned even in difficult situations to listen to what some people would call their gut feeling. It has never lead me down the wrong path.

5^th I also realized that even in bad situations there was always something positive that came out of it. Even if it was just a hug from someone.

6^th I also realized I will face “Fear” again,  again but I now know I have the tools to deal with the “Fear”  

So take a moment and look at the "Changes" you are facing in your life. Then see whether "Fear" is a part of that "Change".  Then visualize how it looks without that “Fear”.  Then see if you can move forward in more positive energy.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

"ARE YOU JUDGING??"

Blog #14 Oct 13/15

“To Judge meaning: To determine or declare after consideration or deliberation”

I was actually surprised with the defn on “To Judge”. How many times are we judging people or things? Do we actually “declare after consideration or deliberation”?

This past weekend after celebrating “Thanksgiving” I started looking at the various media reports on Facebook, Tweeter, newspaper etc... I think we’ve allowed “To Judge” as part of our normal life and don’t realize that “To Judge” in a negative way creates a major ripple effect on other people’s lives which can be very hurtful.

As a read some of the comments on various topics I asked myself did these people just make a comment so they could see it on a public forum or did they really intentionally want to hurt many people?

What if instead we had more comments on topics that were positive? What would happen with the energy and attitudes of people?

I’m just throwing out thoughts hoping to maybe get people to think before reacting.

This weekend as we sat around sharing and creating memories with our families a family from my hometown where I grew up lost their 20 yr old daughter in a car accident. As I read some of the comments from people posting on some of the newspapers which were “Judging”,  I wondered again whether they thought about the family and friends of the 20 yr old girl, or about the RCMP and EMT’s which were involved or how about the family and friends of the second driver who’s in hospital and has a long road ahead of him.

As I said before when we JUDGE others or things we create a ripple effect. Making comments publicly on media is pretty safe because it’s not in person but it does make a difference to others.

So for this week how about we all stop and think before we push the “POST” or “SEND” button and make sure we’re creating more “POSITIVE’ ripple effects in people’s lives.

For this week I wish for all of you good energy, time spent with family and friends creating amazing memories and for you to enjoy each moment of your day.

I'M THANKFUL FOR....

Blog #13 Oct 8/15  

We are just a few days away from the Canadian Thanksgiving Celebration.

I was thinking this morning aren’t we an interesting group of people that we have lots of holidays to celebration various events.

Can you imagine what would happen if every day we actually took time to be Thankful and Grateful for something in our lives. Let’s say you started each waking moment with that thought. Would your attitude throughout the day be better? Would you greet your family, friends, co-workers and strangers with a happier “Good Morning!”

Each moment when I walk into my office I have a sign that says “How Much Better Can it Get!”.  Just saying those words no matter how I’m feeling or what is happening in my life, it makes me take a moment to realize I’m very grateful.

What are you Thankful for this Thanksgiving?

I’m Thankful for:

-the journey I’m having in life

-the amazing husband that has been with me on our crazy journey of ups and downs (Celebrating 35 years this month!!)

-the children that we had, and their spouses and the wonderful grandkids they have giving me. (Proud Grandma!!)

-all the rough times, because it made me who I am today and it’s allowed me to share and help others in their journey

-all the individuals that I’ve met along the way. What a journey it’s been and will continue to be.

-the incredible learning and experiencing of my spirituality and healing energy

May you take the opportunity each day to be Thankful for all that is and will be.

Happy Thanksgiving.

GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!

Blog #11 Sept 16/15

Last night I listened to a webinar of “Gloria Mayfield Banks”. We met Gloria at “The Most Powerful Women in Network Marketing Conference” in Las Vegas in August/15. What an amazing speaker and business woman.

In the webinar she talked about “Getting out of your Comfort Zone!”.  I think there’s a lot of us out there that enjoy staying IN the Comfort Zone!. One of her statements was

“Once you are “Comfortable” you are experiencing NO GROWTH, NO PASSION.

Today as you start your day think about your routine. Is it the same thing every day? Is there ways you can change it up a bit?

We’re heading into a new season so here’s an opportunity to get out of your “Comfort Zone”.  Here’s some suggestions to change your routine:

-Get up earlier instead of sleeping in

-Start your day by thinking “How much better can it get!”

-Take time for breakfast

-Take a course or workshop that you’ve always wanted to do

-Change your thought process to “Positive”

-Give someone a positive compliment today

-Take time to read a bedtime story to your kids.

-Give yourself the time to “DREAM”

We all get stuck sometimes and a lot of times it’s due to “FEAR” or “Zero Creativity”. So today is your first step. Take it, move forward and create Growth and Passion in your life. 

You are so worth it!!

Have a GREAT WEEK. 

FINANCIAL STRESS

Blog #10  Sept 9/15

I’m not sure at some point in each of our lives that we haven’t worried about “Financial Stress”.

Recently I’ve been re-reading some of Dr. Wayne Dryer’s books. Sometimes you need to read a book a few times to really get all the messages that are directed to you.

He talks a lot about our “thoughts” and “Law of Attraction”. “Affirmations are wonderful, but we would make sure that we are feeling really good when we affirm, because the Universe does not hear what you say; the Universe hears what you mean.”

In other words instead of saying “I want to have NO Financial Stress.” Visualize yourself in the position where you have secure finances. Change your emotions so your stomach isn’t turning due to worry and imagine moving forward in life with financial security. Then take action. Dreaming creates positive thoughts and attracts positive outcomes.

So here’s an exercise we were told at one of the conferences. Take a notebook and write down how you would spend $10000. Then the next week $20000 and continue until you reach $500,000. It’s a very interesting exercise because it makes you stop and really think about your future and the direction you want to go.

My husband once said to me “You have BIG Dreams!” I said “Yes I do! What would be the point of having small dreams!”

Decide what you want to attract in your life. “Law of Attraction” Then enjoy the journey. . .

HERE’s MY DREAM. I see it, I feel it, It’s here.
