phew what a week! i drove back from Bath yesterday afternoon after the Ttouch course finished and arrived home just after 10pm so was pretty knackered and it felt like i had been away from home for ages. I wasn't sure if i was actually going to be able to communicate with Mark on a normal human level as i had been with 26 horse daft women for 6 days!
What an amazing course and what an amazing way to learn - working with other Ttouch ladies all at different levels and everyone helping each other. I wonder if our schools had a system like this if we would learn more and integrate more rather than always sticking with our own age or group?
I am full of excitement about what i have learnt and how i can help horses so have already organised to work with Oliver and Solstice at the weekend so i will be practicing lots of Ttouches and wraps on both the horses and my friend FJ.
At the end of the course everyone had to share what they experienced from the course and then pick an animal shaped crystal out of a little american indian bag that Robyn our teacher passed round. It all got a bit emotional with Penny starting the sharing session with tears, so of course as i became emotional - not because she was crying but because she was sharing how she has struggled to cope after her dog died 6 months ago and how being with this group has helped her as no one is telling her to get over it which is what she is experiencing from the people around her at home.
I don't know how anyone can be unsympathetic to someone who has lost a dear friend whether they are human or animal. Grief is a process we will all experience in our lives so why not support and help the people we know and love through the process rather than being impatient and pushing people to hide their feelings and swallow their grief which will only make it worse.
So Penny received all our support and all of us shared some tears with her.
So when it came to my turn to share what i had experienced in the week i had to keep grounding myself as i had shed a few tears while penny talked about her experience and knew that i would start to blub like a big baby unless i grounded, grounded, grounded. So i kept imagining my feet growing big roots that were working their way through the centre of the earth to the earths core which was a beautiful huge piece of brown tourmaline and my roots wrapped themselves around the tournaline anchoring me to the centre of the earth. I also did a bit of EFT tapping and saying to myself 'even though i am emotional i accept my self, even though i am emotional i am ok' its amazing how it works. So when it came my turn to speak my voice wobbled at the start but as i got into my stride i was strong and grounded as i described my experience of the week of learning. Then i put my hand into the beautiful american indian style bag and i picked out a beautiful Amethyst Bison. Now anyone who knows me will tell you that Amethyst is a crystal that is a constant in my life - it chooses to be with me and i of course love to accept it in my life - i will share in another blog my experience of the amethyst crystals that appeared in my life from somewhere other than the earth!
So i am a Bison! i have just looked up the spiritual meaning of Bison and it says the following:
Bison teaches us:
To remain well Grounded
Provide abundantly for others
Find the strength to carry our path
Be in harmony with Mother Earth
To give selflessly from the heart with pure intent
The meaning of sacrifice
The sacredness of life
I think that is an amazing message for me and i try every minute of every day to live up to what the Bison is teaching.
If we were all Bisons in this life what a wonderful world it would be.
