In this episode of speaking the worst language, we discuss energy, and how our energy influences our horse. Now I'm going to talk a little bit about why that's related to horses. So you guys all have experience with horses, so I don't have to explain too much. But horses, the biggest thing, I think the theme of today will be energy. And if you've ever worked with horses on the ground, or riding them, or you know, whatever it is, that's how they communicate with each other. And that's how they communicate with you.

Everything is body language, everything is their energy and the vibes. So yoga, especially when you're meditating, and you're getting yourself ready for that. It's all about energy, actually. So you're going to notice when you start doing yoga, and when you start meditating and you become a little bit more mindful. You'll realize what vibe Are you giving because the horses already know what five you're giving, and they give you a lot of feedback every day. Yeah, but you might not be mindful of what kind of vibe you're giving.

And if you have a bad day, or if you have a bad ride or you know, whatever it is, you're like, Oh, I don't know why, but it was just a bad day. But actually, maybe that was the vibe that you're giving and the horse reciprocated. So this is how yoga and horses are sort of connected. And that's why they can benefit. And then also, there's the physical benefits as well. And again, that's something that when you're with horses, horses are great.

Because horses know, you're inside. They know. The second that means they know what kind of person you are. They know the vibes you're giving they know if you had a shitty day, you know? Yeah, they rat you out too. It's great for me as a coach, because when I'm teaching a student and it's really great, you know, and I, if I'm teaching a student, I have a lesson plan and I'm like, Okay, today we're gonna work on whatever it is.

And then my student gets on their horse and the first 30 seconds I'm like, Did you have a fight with your husband or what's going on like, you know, because the horse just rats them out. And I know They had a bad day or something's going on. And so the first I don't know, 15 minutes of lesson is like a therapy class. Because I need to figure out what's bothering my student, which is affecting the horse. Because I'm not going to be able to actually have a successful lesson, whatever it is that I had on the agenda for that day, if they're not actually giving the horse the correct vibes and making the horse confident and trusting and believing it. So it really does make a difference.

And you know, as soon as they get it all out, and then they feel better. And then they go and have a fun ride. So yeah, any other questions? Just energy work, kind of like Reiki a little bit of work. That's really um, yeah. So Reiki has it does anyone know what Reiki is?

Or have any Have you ever met a person that when they just walk in the room, you can feel their energy? Have you ever met a person I've spoken to a person that how they presented themselves sort of mirrored into you and you felt whether it was sad or whether it was happy or whether it was Strike. Have you ever met somebody like that? Yeah. So this is energy. So the Reiki so I've had a Reiki I don't know what you call it a Reiki thing done before.

And basically what this person did for those of you who haven't done Reiki before they are went into a room. They had a little table, not like massage table, but kind of, and I lay down and it was I was in Bali, so it was a little local, like Balinese man, very traditional with his little skirt. And here's like, okay, and you know, I don't even I was really nervous. I was like, I don't know what's gonna happen here. And he basically he told me, you know, close your eyes, and I'm not going to touch you. I promise.

I'm just going to, like, feel my energy with yours. And I'm going to try and clean, clean your vibes clean your energy. And so I was laying on the table, and I was really nervous. I was like, I'm sure you were gonna touch me. I don't know. It was a little bit weird.

I don't know what's gonna happen here. I don't even know why I'm here. I'm totally fine. You know, whatever. But I really wanted to see what it was. And so you know, it's laying on the table and he starts, and it was really weird.

So my eyes were closed. And I swear, I could feel he was touching me. I was like, I'm sure he's touching me. So I opened Mars, but in a sneaky way, like. And, you know, I open mind he wasn't in, but he was kind of here and he was doing, like student surgery, you know, it's really, like, very focused, and I'm kind of like peeking out of my mind. I thought he was touching me.

He's not touching. But he feels like he's touching me. I'm sure he's gonna touch me anymore. And so I was kind of, you know, letting him do his stuff. But then I was, you know, I was I could feel you know, he was kind of stuck in this area of my heart area. Yeah.

So like, you mentioned the chakras. There's different chakras in your body. Okay, different areas. You have your heart and your stomach and they all mean different things. Yeah. And so he's doing surgery with my heart.

And, and, you know, I felt all these like, emotions come in and I was angry, and then I was kind of like trying to justify it like, no crystal. Come down, you're being paranoid, nothing's happening. And I was having this just, you know, up and down and up and down and down. And eventually I actually fell asleep. And I always looked out, and he woke me up. It was like an hour long thing.

And it was dark outside by the time I was done. And so he wakes me up, and he's like, okay, I did a lot of stuff. And he's like, did you know that you have a lot of anger in your heart chakra? And I was like, No. He was like, yeah, you have a lot of tension there. Do you feel like you have troubles breathing?

Sometimes? I was like, yeah. And he's like, yeah, that's because you have so much tension and anger built up there. And you know, so I was really working to clean the energy and move it around and leave some space so that now your your energy can kind of flow a little bit better because he said that because the energy so it kind of starts up here and kind of there's different ones. Yeah. So it says because your heart was sort of blocked.

It was I was having some stuff Nike shoes at the time. That's actually kind of why I went to the raking. And, you know, so that's why I was really like, why is he there? what my problem is here. And he was like, you know, it's, it's keeping the rest of your energy from reaching your stomach. And and he didn't know that I had stomach problems by the way.

So he was kind of like, you know, so do you have any issues with stomach hopefully, you know, I cleared it up enough and it should be okay. But you need to keep meditating, you need to keep, you know, focusing your energy there and try to clean it up and get the anger away. And, you know, when he said that it really, really hit me, you know, because I knew what he was saying was right. And and I could definitely I actually I did feel, you know, when he was dealing with stuff, and it was bringing up all of these emotions and I could really feel you know, it coming up because I was so good at squashing it and hiding it and, you know, so he really brought it out and I was just really furious for a moment and I sort of settled down.

So when you're asking about brand experience, did you Okay, yeah. I was watching Might you know exactly what you just said? Did you feel like it was touching? Yeah. I felt like she was Yeah. It was like, why am I here?

Yeah, I can't hear well, can we got yours? For some good reason? You know, but so but when you were talking on the energy part, I wondered if that was kind of. Yes. So the Reiki is nice. I mean it, like you said, so that's sort of the theme today is energy because that's, that's what horses communicate with.

And that's the biggest thing that they understand. And there's so many times and I can give you a story that's horse related. So, you know, when I was working in Belgium with this Olympic courses, I was a better writer than the other groups that were there. So I always had to write the really naughty ones. And I thought it was fun, but they were not. And I had to, because my, the lady I was working for She was also coaching me and tried to groom me to be sort of like her.

And so she had me on the naughty ones, and He tried to give the less naughty ones to the other ones. But they still all needed to be worked because she just couldn't write all of them. Now she had things to do. And so we had to go out on walks. And basically, when you're going on a walk in Belgium, the roads not big like this, there's small little roads, people are racing around like idiots. And you're on this horse, that's like 100,000 euros, like, I don't want it to get a scratch.

And these cars are just zipping around. So you know, you're already a little bit nervous, this tractors going and then you know, because it's Europe, in Belgium, it rains quite a lot. So there's a lot of these really big ditches on the side of the road. And then they have these little barbed wire fences for the cows. So I'm writing this pure, expensive horse that's not mine. And I have to go with another girl who's also kind of young ish, babyish horse, also very expensive.

And I have to sort of make sure that we can do this hour long walk or you know, we're running around and stuff too, but we called it locks, sort of exposing the horse to noises and different things, and that we all come home. So we're out and we were Writing, and because, you know, I do a lot of this stuff and energy and breathing a lot, especially with the younger horses you know, so I don't feel like I'm holding something in. Yeah, so I was kind of doing that with all my horses and we were I was with this girl and we were riding around and as we started our little walk, she her horse was sort of speaking at the tractors or the cars or you know, whatever it was, and every time her horse would spook, my horse would also speak, but we both me and this other girl handled differently.

So when her horse would spook, she would get tense and she would stop doing that oh my god, you freaking out you know, like, oh god stop horse behave. And now sort of her reaction. me whenever my horse food I'm on like future Olympic horse. So when he's food, I would just put him in this beautiful like gorgeous canter and make him really work. And so he did like two or three strides in Here's like, that sucks. I'm not gonna speak anymore.

And you know, I was nice and calm. So I would actually sort of laugh at my baby when he spoke like a silly thing. And you know, so I'm more relaxed. And so as the walk sort of continued, and the more that they saw spiffy things, the more her horse was getting super tense. And the more my horse was kind of like, oh, whatever. Yeah.

And we were, so we were out for like an hour. And it was just getting worse and worse and worse, and that girl was getting really wound up. And then we were literally around the corner from the staples. There was just one little road and there's ditches on either side, or wherever you decide. And we round the corner knowing that stables is just there. And it just so happens that there's this huge semi truck trying to make its way down this little tiny European road.

And there's really nowhere around it, because there's sorts of ditches on the side, but we can't go back because it's like an hour ride. So luckily, the semi truck guy He kind of really slows down and he's kind of trying to give us a little bit of space. So I leave my horse first and we try and pass this, you know, semi truck. And just as we are next to him, the air brakes cool. And of course, so both horses spook mine, who was kind of chill, he takes off does his little beautiful Canvas steps. Go, I sort of lead him to the side of the road.

So he goes past. So he kind of spooks forward, let's say, goes past the little thing, and then I'm able to stop him and turn around and look at what's happening. Meanwhile, I see the other girl on the other horse had a very different experience. She was so tense and so terrified when the air brakes went off that the horse because she was holding doors really had nowhere forward to go. So the horse ended up jumping the ditch into the barn. It was a small barbed wire fence but it was still low barbed wire.

Jump into the barbed wire. She fell off luckily not on the barbed wire. And the horse took off. Yeah, it knew it knew where home was. But it kind of got a little bit realized that it didn't want to go alone. And it came back to me anyways.

And so luckily, the house actually was fine. It had some scratches, but it was all it was fine. The girl ended up just walking us back. And, you know, I tell that story because like I said, the whole energy thing, because I could stay home. And I could, you know, the horse had been feeding off the other horse a little bit. I mean, they both did an air brakes went off.

What do I expect a little baby horse? Yeah. But because I was able to react in a way to let it speak in the direction I wanted to. Yeah, and I was calm and relaxed. And because I was calm and relaxed, as soon as the horse wasn't next to the big scary thing, his brain switched on. Here's kind of like, Oh, actually, it's not that bad.

So I could stop him. You know, see what happened. So really, from my side, nothing would happen. But because, you know, like I said with her, she had been so tense and she was kind of her. The fetal position, you know, the reflex reaction of when we get scared as humans kind of kicks in. And of course, when you go into fetal position, what happens?

Well, personally, we squeezed with her legs, which we all know means go. So she's squeezing with her legs, she's now tip forward, which means she doesn't have any balance. So she can't stay on even if she wants to. So she fell off. Yeah. And of course, when you're leaning forward, you're also kind of chasing the horse to go so you're squeezing chasing the horse to go.

I mean, what else most of us going to do? Jump the direction. It went. Yeah. So yes, the energy thing. Like I said, we can practice it and learn it from from yoga and meditation.

But also, how do we retrain our ourselves, especially when we're with horses and they're so unpredictable. Sometimes we don't always know what they're going to do. But when you do this kind of thing, and this sort of exercises, it does carry over
