We had our first breathwork session, in the field, with the horses today. Facilitated by https://ivanbroadcounselling.co.uk/
It was as powerful, energising and releasing as ever. Great to share it with a wonderful group. We will definitely be repeating it. Thanks very much Ivan and all attendees 🙏💙

An afternoon pulling ragwort. Not my favourite past time but good to have two fields done. Unfortunately the field behind me doesn't manage theirs at all, so it's a losing battle every year 🙄. The fields the horses are in are clear, the big winter field will have to be tackled after my break. Found a new bug at the field though. Black body and red wings, never seen it before, picture below for any enthusiasts 🪳😊

FULLY BOOKED.
Hello!, I'm organising a breathwork circle on Sunday 18th August. It will run for approx 3 hours and the cost is £50. Ivan Broad will be running it and is an experienced counsellor, equine practitioner, EMDR practitioner and of course, breathwork practitioner. He is passionate about the benefits of breathwork and I have been lucky enough to have been on a retreat he ran and can vouch for the power and benefits of breathwork. If you'd like to book up please let me know, spaces will be limited. I'll add the link to his breathwork page in the comments below ❤️

I find this video really helpful at explaining ACE's (Adverse Childhood Experiences) for people who may not realise that their 'normal' growing up wasn't great, and the long lasting effects that it can have on a person. Especially because it shows that you can turn it around with a bit of help and support 🐴❤️

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that affect children while growing up, such as suffering child maltreatment or living in a househol...

I took my friends elderly dog to the field for the first time today (I'd already checked she was safe around the horses on lead). She was loving life and had good run around. I think she might want to be part of the team occasionally and I know my clients would love to meet her 😍

Ted is always about a month behind other horses with his shedding. Basil is pretty much shedded now and Ted is in full swing. A simple reminder that we're all on different timescales and neither one is right or wrong, they just are. Also, lovely to see the birds wasting no time gathering the hair to line their nests, so they're nice and soft for their offspring. Mother nature working perfectly in sync 😍👌🐴🐦

One of the yp I work with said this was her favourite song. Interesting lyrics, "I like that your broken, broken like me. I like that you're lonely, lonely like me, I could be lonely with you"
That sums up our (EFL/P) job I think, allowing people to be just as they are and feel exactly how they're feeling without any judgement. I work with a lot of LAC and it's sad that most of them, deep down, think it's them that's broken.
Rebuilding the foundations of self esteem, self confidence and self love with the animal team 🐴🙏❤️

Stavros and Pedro did a great job working with the Psychiatric patients who came to visit us today (As did Basil and Ted of course 🐴😍). They're really enjoying their cuddles and their characters are really starting to come through aswell 👏❤️

This is important to remember. Especially when media/ news is constantly trying to put us against each other. See the good in people 😍

Most people are good. Most people kiss their pets goodbye and read ‘just one more’ bedtime story to their children. Most people visit their grandparents even when they have no time and stop by to check on quiet friends, after a day too long and draining. Most people return their shopping trolleys, despite being already late and let someone with only one item, jump to the front of a queue. Most people give money when money is scarce and most people worry about people they don’t even know, day in and day out. When the world seems bad, remember, most people are good.

Good, from ‘Wild Hope’🩶

A lovely reminder for us all ❤️

Patience visited me
And it reminded me
That good things take time to come to fruition
And grow slowly with stability

Peace visited me
And it reminded me
That I may remain calm through the storms of life
Regardless of the chaos surrounding me

Hope visited me
And it reminded me
That better times lay ahead
And it would always be there to guide and uplift me

Humility visited me
And it reminded me
That I may achieve it
Not by trying to shrink myself and make myself less
But by focusing on serving the world and uplifting those around me

Kindness visited me
And it reminded me
To be more gentle, forgiving and compassionate toward myself
And those surrounding me

Confidence visited me
And it reminded me
To not conceal or suppress my gifts and talents
In order to make others feel more comfortable
But to embrace what makes me me

Focus visited me
And it reminded me
That other people’s insecurities and judgements about me
Are not my problem
And I should redirect my attention
From others back to me

Freedom visited me
And it reminded me
That no one has control over my mindset, thoughts and wellbeing
But me

And love visited me
And it reminded me
That I need not search for it in others
As it lies within me.

A post from a colleague who didn't get the A level results she wished for but is smashing life 🫶

I'm thinking of all of you who are receiving exam results today. I did not get the A Level exam results that I hoped for due to mental health issues - I still got into Uni and now have a masters degree and PhD and run my own business.

Your exam results do not define you. They can be an important key to next stages in academia, but they are only a snapshot in time of your capacity to regurgitate knowledge under pressure. There are other ways.

Basil helped facilitate some powerful symbology work yesterday with a client. Working on learning to let go and to trust.
Basil represents step 1 in this journey, acknowledging and working through grief. Ted is ready and waiting for whenever the client is ready for step 2, reconnecting with joy and bringing out their playful side. Great work from the boys and the special and brave client 🐴❤️
