One of Joe Dispenza’s meditations names a number of states of being, and he asks: ‘What would that feel like?’.
He asks us to feel ‘appreciation’ in the body, to recognize the embodiment of giving thanks. He asks the same question about all sorts of fabulous ways of being in the world.
As he goes through these different states of being, a particular horse, or other animal, or bird, or plant pops into my mind.
What does ‘vitality’, limitless energy, feel like?
I see Buddy, the dog here on the property, running through a field, zigzaging this way, and then that way. Clearly thrilled with life.
Imagine how ‘freedom’ feels. I see a red-tailed hawk gliding through the sky.
What does ‘presence’, all attention and energy in the moment, feel like? And, ‘knowingness’?
I see the herd, present, working, all grounded, meditative, moving energy, supporting people from a place of knowing.
Joe Dispenza is asking us to imagine “the greatest expression of ourselves”, and to feel a joy for our existence.
By imagining various high frequency states of being, he is encouraging us to practice living like many four-leggeds, birds and plant life already live.
What does ‘abundance’ feel like?
The prolific poppies blooming in the garden are demonstrating abundance.
When I look at them, when I breathe them in, I feel the secure, grounding energy abundance offers.
Watching Oreo give an energy healing to someone on the massage table shows me ‘divinity’ in action. I see Oreo connected to Spirit, and I feel the awe of this experience.
Every horse who arrives here with emotional, and physical wounds demonstrates how ‘inspiration’ feels in the body.
The latest teacher is Blue, who is transforming into health before our very eyes. Truly inspiring.
I got to feel ‘miraculous’ when the herd held space for Ruben in his despondancy. An image I only have to remember to connect with the sensation of miraculous collaboration and love.
Oreo (like Chunky did too) continually connects me to feelings of ‘gratitude’, of appreciation, each time she lifts her front left leg up and bobs it up and down in thanks for her hay.
When I remember the many moments I experienced with Vienna, I get to feel the ‘unlimited mind’, to feel ‘genius’ at work.
I will never forget her parenting of the other horses, and her parenting of me, and others. So straight forward, and effective.
What does ‘invincibility’ feel like?, Joe asks.
I remember Fancy in her 30s. Like so many of the wise crones, there was a depth to her teaching.
She made death feel like just another doorway to matter of factly walk through.
And, of course, Landor embodied ‘nobility’. He held it in his stature.
He demanded noble handling of his injuries, in his blanketing (He asked for a blanket with crystals sewn into the spine to support his energy centres!), and how he departed his body – an elaborate affair.
Kaleb teaches ‘clarity’, a coherant way of being. A heart centredness.
Pie demands ‘honor’, and in so doing, helps us to feel the honoring of ourselves.
Aggie embodies ‘passion’ with her excitement for life.
Bandit shows us ‘originality’, to live to the beat of our own drum, however that looks.
There really is no end to the teachings of the herd, of all animals, and birds, and of the plants, and the trees.
Who helps you embody the best version of yourself?
