The tone of Animal Presence continues to take my breath away.
As we get clearer in our fields and there is less space taken up in the trappings of traumas demanding release, the dropping in becomes much richer, much deeper...
Back in January, I enquired with a friend’s herd of horses for their guidance on moving forwards, moving on and essentially disengaging from interacting with the past as a current event that we tend to still carry with us like baggage we use periodically to poke, or guilt-trip, ourselves with.
They responded with an experience that it has taken me some time to integrate:
The teaching was less about how to entangle ourselves from the past, or how to remove these stale images from our fields - and more about the cultivation of exquisite presence:
Animal Presence.
A presence that sees,
Not a presence that puts the earworms to sleep.
A presence that is at peace with all it sees,
Yet makes no changes in response.
Not popping out into the astral,
Not a gobbling it down and a solidification in the memory bank;
An ease of energy flow through-put:
In; a tasting
Out; a blessing;
True non-attachment.
Gently allowing the grace of that experience to move through us and to move us in the way that it was divinely intended in that moment, we can fully take in, “see” everything in each Now moment; a threat, a breeze, the surrounding flora and fauna – and in this “seeing” there is an allowing.
To fully see, is to be vulnerable enough for there to be an opening to receive.
When there is a space to receive, through this state of stillness, there is an open exchange of information, of energy, of spirit.
Not stillness as in a forced restraint;
But stillness as in emptiness,
- or, to name it by another; omnipotence.
