Wondering how horses can help us with developing our emotional intelligence ?

Its not new information that horses are a highly sensitive and intelligent species, interestingly however they also have a magnificent ability to tune into their surroundings . It goes without saying as a prey animal , this instinct is imperative for their survival in the wild. The ability to read and analyse stimuli for danger quickly and accurately has served this species well for thousands of years. 

The fact horses can read the facial expressions of another species is a pretty big deal.

It is because of this very unique ability that humans are still drawn to horses, and a big part why these animals continue to play an extremely beneficial role. In a fast paced world that has long outdated the need for the horses more traditional role where they were harnessed for speed and power, we are discovering a deeper more sophisticated role for horses where we not only embrace their presence but can learn and grow with them. 

Wondering how horses can help us with developing our emotional intelligence..... A new study talks about the fascinating way a horse reacts when it knows you’re angry.study It shares some amazing insights into understanding how horses can read our emotions much better we think. Its all about understanding how the right and left brain works 

The research isn't just cool — it uncovered a big "first." And it says a lot about how emotionally intelligent horses actually are.

Self-abandonment does it affect your ability to receive love

If you love with all your heart, you put unconditional pure love and intention out there with the hope of it reaching a soul mate, but they are not open and willing to accepting that love, can love still exist? 

It seems that any chance of a connection appears limited or blocked in someway by the unacceptance of love , not matter how much is offered. Weather this be a conscious or subconscious choice, one cannot create love if one does not first accept it.  If this is true can we then suggest that love must come first from the self? 

Take the following extract on self-abandonment written by  Dr. Margaret Paul

When we are disconnected from ourselves — from who we really are and from our feelings — and when we are not filling ourselves with love through our spiritual connection, we create a black hole within. The black hole we’ve created through our self-abandonment becomes like a vacuum, trying to pull love from others. This neediness tends to push people away, so we end up feeling even more unloved.

If you feel alone, empty, anxious, depressed, hurt, angry, jealous, sad, fearful, guilty or shamed, you are likely abandoning yourself.

What can someone feeling like this or experiencing this do to gain new insights, to remind yourself of the things you had forgotten how do you reclaim yourself?  Perhaps revisit old places and discover something you hadn’t previously noticed, take a fresh look on everything that you have in your life, find new ways to experience joy, spend time to discover who you are through self-reflection. Whatever it is, I believe this process of discovery is one that requires you to open not just your mind but your heart.

What is love .......

The following explanation from psychology today talks about what love is and what it isn't.

Love is bigger than you are. You can invite love, but you cannot dictate how, when, and where love expresses itself. You can choose to surrender to love, or not, but in the end love strikes like lightening, unpredictable and irrefutable. You can even find yourself loving people you don't like at all. Love does not come with conditions, stipulations, agenda, or codes. Like the sun, love radiates independently of our fears and desires.

Is this why we can still love someone who has caused us pain, or someone who behaves in ways that are contrary to our personal morals and beliefs? Perhaps this is why we might find solace in telling ourselves “don’t hate the person, hate the behavior”. Is it because love is actually separate to behaviour….. and has an existence of its own. Perhaps this is why sometimes it doesn’t matter what happens to us, when we have a connection that love knows under its own law, maybe we bound by it....maybe love doesn’t happen to us …but for us.
