Guided Voice

Amber and I took a little trip through the Grand Canyon this week and it was definitely one for the books.

The canyon holds so much wisdom, our guides were incredible (and their animals who came forward were too.🩷 keep an eye on the podcast for a little ear snack coming up in the future).

Even in “rough” conditions, nature is the queen at bringing people together, putting on a show, grounding and recalibrating and bringing laughter and joy.

10/10 recommend doing a guided tour through the canyon which starts by you being flown in by plane and helicopter. So fun!

I’ll share more photos and moments with you all in my stories on IG (guidedvoice) 😁 if you care to see them.

As a reminder - the 21 day vision quest is still open for registration until Saturday night! $147 investment, online, 21 days, live and recorded activities. If you get behind it’s okay, the course is made to be self-paced friendly! Link in comments.

Time to tap into the essence of who he is rather than the conditions that are manifesting in front of you.

This is something I said in a session the other day based on the energy I was receiving.

Sometimes we (myself included, obvi) get so caught up in what’s in front of us that we forget to look at the vital and very well essence of who we and our horses are.

There’s an inner nurturance in all of us, and our wounding can mask it and cause us to give our power away in so many ways.

Come with us on a 21 Day Vision Quest to dig deep into rediscovering that inner essence within you and your horses!!

Info in comments 🩷 for this little online adventure.

- daily channeled messages from your horses
- Live somatic journey
- Live mirror session with your own horse
- Journaling, meditation, movement practices
All the things!! This is on of my favorite offerings that Amber and I do together with you all!

See you there!

You will receive bite-sized activities, including guided meditations and engaging exercises to do with or without your horse. These activities are designed to harmonize your mind, body, and spirit elements, paving the way for a deeper connection and clearer communication

❤ Today's Note from the Universe ❤
What if loneliness was simply a feeling of impatience, telepathically sent to you by friends you've yet to meet, urging you to go out more, do more, and get involved, so that life's serendipities could bring you together... Would you still feel alone?

What if illness was just the signal a healthy body sent to urge clarification of your thoughts, feelings, and dreams... Would you still, at times, think of yours as unwell?

What if feelings of uncertainty and confusion were only reminders that you have options, that there's no hurry, and that everything is as it should be... Would you still feel disadvantaged?

What if so-called mistakes and failures only ever happened when your life was about to get better than it's ever been before... Would you still call them mistakes and failures?

And what if poverty and lack were simply demonstrations of your manifesting prowess, as "difficult" to acquire as wealth and abundance... Would they still cause you to feel powerless?

Well, whatever you feel, I still consider you my only begotten, my champion, and my equal.

Are we close, or what?
The Universe

P.S. What if this was a forever dance, and you and I were forever partners?

Amazing Message written by Mike Dooley - had to share!

If this feels aligned with someone you want to listen to (I'm a talker so ya betta' be sure), I'll be saying a few words around awareness, manifestation, and creating magic in each moment with our horses at Amber Lydic and my Inner Vision Workshop Online, this Thursday!

I had a psychic reading three years ago and she told me that for the next several years I was going to be preparing to present in front of an audience and I needed to start training my nervous system, and visualizing the experience. At the time I was wondering if it was going to be in front of a vet board or board of health care professionals because I was deeply invested in understanding the body and as much information as I could intuitively gather around it. She said no, different energy, bigger audience.

Fast forward to meeting Amber, Celeste, Tara, and Katherine and collaborating at Elements of Connection for the first time, I was like OMG this is it! I had to wear a mic for the first time (I was awkward, obvi), I had to stand in front of people and speak for the horses in public (scary, but amazing), and it was such a healing and fun experience for me!

THEN Amber tells me this year she wants to create Art of Equine Alchemy, her largest event yet, and she wants me to co-host. I immediately got Deja Vu back to my psychic reading, immediately became excited, and immediately knew this is what I’ve been preparing for energetically haha… Lets get real I’m *just the cohost, if I was presenting I’d be sh****ng my pants hahaha, I’ll watch the boss ladies at work on that.

As Amber started planning the event I have gotten more and more excited. Not only are there going to be six powerful presenters as well as some featured guests, but the energy at the ranch is amazing, there are going to be some awesome vendors, a VIP experience and sooo many amazing people to connect with… the part I love the most is that the auditors are going to get to be fully involved in the process. We want this event to be an all immersive experience where you WILL NOT leave the same person as you came.. I know I won’t..

In the meantime I’ll be continuing to seek out what I have to offer one hundred eager and connected souls… and I can’t wait to see you there!

October 17 - VIP Experience | October 18-20 - Main Event | Carmel Valley Trail & Saddle Club, Carmel California

If you want to learn more, Amber’s page about the event is totally gorgeous and packed full of information! Link in comments!

I’m curious - what (and where) chronic pain do you hold in your body? How about your horse in theirs? Can you give it an emotion? When did it first start?
More thoughts to come 😍

Update: Catalyst > Cattikins is learning to be BFFS with Sage, and this is her first full day in the house. I've offered for her to come in the house before but she has declined, she now understands the AC life and will be returning. I love their matchy legs.

I’m reflecting on a journey that Amber held for many of us this afternoon, and without giving too much away for those who will watch the recording, I feel called to share a part of my experience.

At the end of the journey my soulmate Kipling walked into my circle unexpectedly and stood in front of me. I smiled when I saw him because he always shows up for me, and I love seeing his soft eyes and his baby face. When I see him energetically he’s perfect, and warm, and he feels like home.

At the beginning of the journey I set my own intention to look into what causes me pain. Kip is my greatest mirror beyond even the meaning of the word, and he said: “You are enough for me.”

I felt my resistance and disbelief in that sentiment. I realized that I don’t really understand what ‘being enough’ is. If I am ‘enough’ just being me without doing anything to be better for my horses or in general… what do I even have to offer?

He always knows how to guide me through my resistance, I mean, after all he’s the reason I am a communicator. So he started talking about flowers…

He said: Think of a flower. You appreciate it for what it is, it’s beautiful just because it is.

You love planting them, watching them grow, seeing them transform. You have excitement when they bloom, and you don’t ask them to bloom faster or differently because you understand there is internal transformation that is turning into something beautiful. There’s an idea of what it might look like, but excitement knowing that no one will ever really know until it’s fully bloomed.
You get joy out of nurturing them and seeing their beauty while it lasts, and when they wilt and die you do not grieve or judge that transformation either. You understand that their season is over and there will be another opportunity to see them again in new form when the time is right. They don’t have to be anything they’re not, they just have to be planted and watered so they can grow, bloom, and die, and that is enough. There is no loss, just transformation. Do you understand?

Time to give him a gratitude carrot, don’t you think?

Thanks as always, Amber Lydic, for an awesome journey. Love you!

Your horse owes you nothing.

You want to jump? Do dressage? Practice cattle work? Go on trails?

Your horse does not owe you this simply because you wish it so and cover the expenses.

Imagine this dynamic reversed in human terms. It would epitomize an abusive, controlling relationship—hardly something anyone would support or invest in.

Do you realize how fortunate you are to even have a horse? As a child, I dreamed of owning a horse. Owning a horse is a tremendous privilege, yet somewhere along the way, the gratitude for this incredible opportunity has been lost. Where has the thankfulness and love gone? Why do we continuously take and demand from them to satisfy our own desires? Why do we take what we haven't earned?

If you want your horse to engage in the activities you desire, you must set them up for success. At the most basic level these areas must be satisfied.

1. Species specific nutrition
2. Species specific living environment
3. Hoof balance
4. Well-fitting tack
5. Relationship building - from the ground

It is distressing to see so many horses lacking in all five of these essential areas, confined to isolated stalls, fed sporadically, and subjected to demands beyond what most humans could tolerate for even an hour. They're often ridiculed for showing stress behaviours, reprimanded for expressing pain, and confined for failing to meet predetermined expectations—all in the pursuit of medals, ribbons, acclaim, and ego.

All of this happens at the expense of a non-verbal prey animal.

It is truly appalling.

I frequently experience extreme discomfort with the horsemanship practices and living conditions I encounter both online and locally. There are times when I contemplate leaving this so-called horse world to retreat to a private sanctuary for myself. But then I remember why I created this business and pursued the education to support its mission.

And so, I press on.

She watched me open my energy to channel the messages for the group, and she created the bridge between. She stayed for the duration because she’s a protector and a guide, and because she could.. It has nothing to do with me, yet here we are together. A series of small and big events conspiring around us to bring this moment together.

Time and time again I’m reminded of the path our horses have chosen to guide humanity. I see the pain and the sickness they take on as a shared experience with others on a daily basis, and when you are connected to their source there is no sadness only an ebb and flow of energy. A sense of being. A way of moving to and through energy and life.

The equestrian world is the worst it’s ever been, but it’s also the best it’s ever been and you get to decide which side of it you want to live in.

Clover has taken on sickness for others before, she’s seen things that have disturbed her nervous system, she’s grieved and she’s been at peace - all of it the same, she says, just moments passing through me. It’s the moments we don’t let pass through that cause suffering, and it’s our choice whether or not we want to hold onto them.

Clover asks: What moments are you ready to release? How is your suffering serving you?

This week is the week of our event, Remember. It’s events like these that remind me just how similar we all are, how connected we all are, and how powerful each and every one of us is.

Tonight as the sun was setting at the beach and we sat around the fire, we asked: Who inspires you?

The beautiful stories that poured out of each persons heart reminded me of how much each and every one of us has to offer just by being who we are.

The path to connection is different for everyone, but we are all making our way down our path to find that deeper connection in some way. We were born to connect with others.

So who inspires me? The women in my circle who lift each other up, who work to show up in the world without masks, the women who love deeply and are brutally honest about their journey to get there.

What a blessing… to be able to turn to my left and right and be wildy inspired by the women sitting next to me.

My heart is full 🩷 Tag someone who inspires you and might not even know it!

If you’re looking to remember, to be reinspired, or to connect with people who just get you… you won’t want to miss the offerings of the Art of Equine Alchemy facilitated by Amber Lydic & me, hosting six amazing trainers and medicine women with many many other gifts and offerings as well. It’s going to be our biggest and most inspiring event yet. Link in comments

Several days ago I held a level two animal communication class with some amazing ladies. Before my classes I always connect with the collective and call in the animals who are meant to be teaching for the day. Much to my surprise, my Grandparents horse of 24 years stepped forward. Id never used her in class before, but I was going to see her in a week and I trusted that she was showing up for a reason.

As always I didn’t tell my students anything but her name. Maggie went on to describe my grandpa and grandma perfectly to all the ladies, plus a “little girl” who used to ride her and spend time with her. She showed one of the students “18” which really got me 😭 because I moved away when I was 18 and that’s when my grandpa started doing less with them as well. There was so much more that happened that my wonderful students picked up - but this “hello” from Maggie this week really hit differently knowing she told our story to four perfect strangers about “her life” and how it truly began when I met her 17 years ago.

They always remember, and my heart will too 🩷

Animal communication is such a gift, our horses are such gifts. And, of course, my students totally rock.

Just in case anyone wants to know how Catatoullie is doing… here’s some hilarious footage from my farm sitter 🤣

13/07/2024

Why meditation and practicing certain brainwaves can help you. Think about this in context to yourself, then in context to your horse, then how your horse mirrors you.

Why do we allow our environment to control our state of being?
Why do we use our environment as an excuse to be happy but more often…unhappy?
We do it all the time, myself included, why is that?
If only X will change THEN I can be happy… so we are always searching for the next ‘thing’ to make us happy rather than choosing to be happy right *now regardless of if we have the thing or not.
Recently I was having a conversation with my friend Michelle, and the topic of self suppression came up. We are often suppressing how we feel, suppressing joy, as a result of our environment. Esther Hicks calls it ‘holding your cork under the water’ if you let go of it, it will bob back up to the surface, the path of least resistance.
Wouldn’t it be cool if we didn’t do that? If we didn’t care whether someone said ‘I love you’ or ‘I hate you’ it’s all the same because you know you and you love you and you CHOOSE joy over everything else…
Crazy thing is, we CAN do that, we just actively choose not to on a regular basis.
I’ve been hooked on the teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza lately (I know many of you reading this most likely also love him) so I wanted to share something that hit home this week from his book: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself.

I’ll leave my power of meditation soap box for another day.

Getting used to the dogs, and feeling the grass between her toes 😻

Taking your pet to the vet can be stressful for everyone involved, but it doesn’t have to be as stressful as you think.

If you’ve been following my posts for the last few days you are aware I found a kitten at a trash center near my house, and now have a new family member. She is clearly showing signs of a respiratory infection, so yesterday she went to the vet.

Here’s what I do to make vet trips less stressful for all of my animals, even for those I just met:

1. Become aware of how I’m feeling the morning of the vet visit. Am I anxious, worried, anticipating? What am I feeling and how can I surrender and release those emotions. This process is an ebb and flow and will be different for everyone, but knowing how you feel, and softening through the resistance is the special sauce!

2. I don’t use my phone to distract myself from being in the moment. Often times we mindlessly scroll our phones to keep us from feeling what we are feeling. Being present allows me to notice what’s coming up for me in each moment, and allows me to release resistance wherever it shows up so I can hold the highest energy for my pet.

3. I take 5-10 minutes before the appointment (before I even put my pet in the car/trailer) to visualize and feel how I want the appointment to go, as well as cultivating the feeling of safety. One of the most potent tools we have is visualization paired with a feeling. You can truly create your experience through this process. By fully embodying this process the chemicals in your body will begin to change, and your animal will sense this and be able to relax more with you. The chemical imprint of your body will match your emotions, actions, energy (transparency/congruency) and this is the safest you can feel for your pet. (This takes practice).

4. Remember why you are going and why you believe this appointment will help your pet, this helps release emotions like fear and guilt. Remembering that you are going because you believe this appointment will help your animal is essential.

5. When you receive feedback from the vet about medications and the vet describes what the procedure will be, while you are waiting, imagine pure positive energy and health and well-being being injected/syringed/stitched… whatever the procedure is for the highest and best good of your pet.

Catalyst was a perfect patient for her vet visit. There were more cats in that office during this appointment than I’ve seen in the last six years I’ve been going there. It really was a perfect storm for stress and discomfort for a little kitty who has had a whirlwind of change in the last 48 hours. She sat in her crate snoozing and eating little treats. Veterinarians do what they can to make your experience as stress free as possible, but it’s truly up to us as owners to energetically prepare ourselves and our pets so that they are not blindsided by the experience.

Hope this helps!

At 650 am this morning I checked my cat cam 👀 we set up a bigger/different enclosure for her last night and I forgot to move the camera so when I saw it I was like “Dang, I’m gonna have to move this, can’t see sh*t”
One minute later… HELLO human… seen enough? 🤣😻 the camera does not make noise so, she was just responding to my energy send out

Reminder to check your trailer for wasp nests before hauling! Got a reminder from a client horse today, it’s so easy to forget to check for nests this time of year, but you don’t want your equine friend getting stung! Check tubing, lights, corners, behind doors, and wheel wells 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Update for those following my cat saga - Got her! Meet CATalyst 🩷🤣

08/07/2024

Connections… they’re everywhere if you are looking for them, it’s insane how many gifts life brings us every single moment we are here.

Lately I have been wanting to call a cat into my life. I am a master manifestor of things that I want (not saying this in a conceited way, I just understand the energetics behind manifestation and the energetic momentum it requires). I know that when I set my mind to something, and I can see myself doing or being or having it, it will come.

I had a wonderful connection with my nonphysical cat, Merida, facilitated by Devon Page the other day and it brought so many healing messages that allowed me to set forth my manifestation momentum. I needed to find some healing and closure around her before I can call in a new cat. (The session was amazing by the way, huge shout out to Devon Page - give her a follow… I love you even though you made my eyes leak).

About 20 minutes after our connection, I got a text from my husband that said: “Do with this information what you will but there’s a kitten at the dump near our house and it’s really cute.”

*Obviously* I wen’t down there haha… No, she did not magically jump into my arms, proclaim her love for me, and tell me she’s been waiting for me forever! She was elusive… and when I saw her on day 2 she ran away as fast as she could.

My brain works like this: Ok this is not meant to be, when animals are meant to be in my life they come very easily to me. She is obviously alive and well and meant for something else, and I will trust that when the time is right I’ll get a cat (aka, release the resistance and attachment around this one).

So, this morning in meditation I decided to add on a quick little cat manifestation.. I saw myself petting a cat, loving her, feeding her. I saw her interacting with my animals, roaming the farm, I felt how happy I was, I felt…connection!

After that mediation I connected with this little dumpster cat, to thank her for showing me the connection I had hoped to find in a cat… AND I didn’t even have to own her, relocate her, or even touch her…

You see, I wanted a cat because of the connection… isn’t that why we all love our animals? I realized this morning, I had already manifested that through this little kitten in many ways. My husband and I connected through her by sitting at the dump waiting to spot her as we laughed and talked about how odd it was we were there. My friend Donna came over and sat with me out there while we talked about how cute she was and where she might be hiding. I went to a party last night and connected with many strangers over the idea and story of her…

The very essence of this little dumpster kitten was enough to show me how much connection I have in my life already, and how easy it is to find it. Turns out I don’t need a cat after all, and that’s precisely why one will show up for me 🙂 Aren’t animals cool?

Life is fun.

We always gain something from every interaction we have, whether we perceive the experience good or bad, helpful or not.

If you sought out help from someone whether it be a veterinarian, body worker, dentist, therapist, trimmer, communicator, nutritionist…whoever… and you didn’t receive the experience you *thought* you were going to have… trust that your animal is just leading you down another path of learning for the highest and best good, there is no need to blame, shame, or project your experience onto others.

Recently I was having a conversation with a few people and one person had a negative experience with a hoof practitioner and her horse… the horse’s condition declined as a result of the trimming, and the person decided to take a different path. Another person uses that same trimmer and has had nothing but positive experiences, her horses have improved in their time together and their experiences are aligned.

Does the experience really have anything to do with the practitioner? This is where my curious mind goes.. disagree, or agree, this is just my thought process.

The first person with the negative experience chose to tell many people about her negative experience with the practitioner, how the horse didn’t improve, how the horse needed X and was getting Y (which was true for this horse) and how this person is not to be trusted. Is the practitioner really the problem?

The first person *thought* they were meeting with a practitioner to have their horse’s feet taken care of, but what they were really experiencing was the catalyst of many changes that would lead to what’s healthier for the horse altogether. You see, our horses (I believe) see what is highest and best for the entire picture rather than just a snapshot in time. The horse had to meet with this trimmer who couldn’t help him, so the experience would be a catalyst to a move, an environment change, a feed change, a herd change, and an introduction to a different trimmer who has brought a wealth of knowledge and different perspective to this horse’s care team. And… odds are, this horse is teaching this person so much more than I can explain here in this post.

The second person chooses to remain aligned with the practitioner. Same skills, same method, different person, different lessons, different experience. The horses are happy and healthy.

Our experience is a reflection of what we are putting out there, what we are learning, and where we are headed. If you look for the connections you will find them! Next time you have a bad/negative/unwanted/unexpected experience with someone you are seeking help from… see if you can release the blame and projection and find the lessons in the experience instead!

The next time you hear something negative about someone, call your power back and make your own assessment! Your journey is your own.

Highest and Best!

When Rehabbing an Injury: Think Bigger Than the Prognosis

After a conversation with a wise gray gelding yesterday, I felt compelled to share some of his messages with you.

“Think bigger than the prognosis” he urged her. “How can I make a full recovery if all of your energy is going toward five minutes of tack walking and an ended career? You are not giving me enough (energetic) room to expand my capacity for recovery!”

We know that thoughts emit measurable frequencies. Did you know there are several studies out there that have tested the minds ability to produce physical results without doing the physical thing? In one study a group of people were instructed to perform a movement with their finger for one hour a day for four weeks, the strength of the muscle was tested before and after. Another group was instructed to imagine and feel what it would be like to do this exercise without actually physically performing the exercise. At the end of the experiment, the group who exercised their finger had 30% improved strength, while the people who simply thought and felt about the experience had improved strength of 22% without ever physically performing the act! The mind is SO powerful!

If we think about our horses (animals) being made of the same cells, the same nervous system, the same “stuff” as us, it really puts into perspective why we call them our mirrors… it also puts into perspective why we (and they) become products of our environment… the environment includes stress, stressful thoughts, and limiting beliefs!

Stress is such a big inhibitor in rehabbing injuries, and many times we contribute highly to that stress (as loving and well intentioned as we are) by worrying, expecting the worst, expecting the minimum, fearing re-injury, and all the things that are not the highest and best outcome.

The next time you are helping your four legged through an injury (or are healing an injury yourself) think bigger than the prognosis! Feel what it feels like to be on the other side of the injury in your *best*case*scenario! Expand the minds capacity for amazing things to happen, and watch how the body so beautifully follows! We’ve all heard of miraculous recoveries… the mind holds the power, and we have the ability to harness that power for free my dudes! Don’t waste a moment of your time thinking about anything other than your best case scenario!

How can you live your highest and best outcome if you don’t know what that looks and FEELS like? Create it so you and your animals can expand into it!
