I have been helping a friend of mine who's horse has White Line Disease which is an infection in the hoof. The vet gave her some bactokil and some hibiscrub to treat it but I knew there had to be a more homeopathic remedy that could help and did some research on the internet and found that Manuka Honey is very good for this type of infection so I suggested to my friend that she use this along with the vet prescribed stuff. So she started to do this and I gave her horse some healing on Sunday and left some grounding crystals in a safe place away from an inquisitive horse mouth! I am not saying that if she was a well grounded horse that she wouldn't have this problem with her hoof but I think bringing her energy back to earth may help greatly.
So on Monday morning when my friend had brought her horse out to wash down her hoof and put on her treatment she was using a knife to cut away the gaffer tape that was sealing the infected hoof and had to use a bit of pressure to cut the gaffer tape and as she did the knife slipped away from the gaffer tape and she stabbed her horse in the leg. She was understandably inconsolable that she could possibly have hurt the horse she loves and only wanted to help so she called me out and I immediately put pressure onto the wound for 10 minutes but also healing as I was adding pressure. This beautiful big horse just stood calmly while I held her leg with one hand and cuddled her owner with the other.
After 10 minutes we then dressed the wound and i comforted my friend who was berating herself for being so stupid as to use a knife when she had safety scissors. She just couldn't accept that accidents happen and felt the need to aportion blame. I tried to tell her the story of when I cut into the skin my lovely old cat Ansha who could barely walk never mind clean her back end so i was gently cutting away matted fur when i went just a bit to close to the skin and cut it. I was horrified that I had done such a thing just the same as my friend was absolutely horrified that she had stabbed her horse and hurt her. When i cut my cat it was an accident, my gorgeous old cat knew i hadn't done it deliberately just as my friends horse knew that what had happened was not intentional.
We can blame ourselves for accidents and mishaps but holding that burden of guilt is not good for our souls. We should accept that accidents happen and learn from them - i am sure i will never see my friend with a knife in her hand near her horse again. Just as i never took scissors to my beautiful cat again instead i put the time aside to gently brush her every day so that she never got matted so never needed the scissor treatment again.
We need to start unburdening ourselves of all the guilt and blame that builds up through a life time, we need to start letting things go. I plan on working on my guilt and blame by using EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique. Imagine having Emotional Freedom - can any of us say we have this? I doubt it! I am going to give it a good try though!! Will keep you posted!
