Ooh-wee! The energies are crazy!

This morning I went to the barn as usual to feed James his big bucket of food. The only person out was the ranch hand. Everyone was hiding away from the high winds. James was at the gate waiting. He was eager to thrust his head into the halter, and asked if we could trot to the barn to get out of the wind. We certainly didn't dawdle!

“Ooh-wee!" James said. "The energies are crazy! And the winds, too! Think of it all as the winds of change. Change is coming! Can you feel it? But, we all have a good purge to do first. That’s why the energies feel so chaotic.”

“Try not to get caught up in the whirlwind or the tornado. We have to go with it, but we must remain grounded, too. Try to avoid speeding up your internal energy. Mirroring what’s on the outside will make us go crazy. As much as you can, keep your energies calm and slow in order to respond with things one at a time as things come up. It can feel as though many, many things are being thrown your way all at once. But, in reality we can only address things one at a time. Keep your energy slow and focused and you’ll be amazed at all that you can handle.”

Then James spoke directly to me:

“Remember when we were at a show and we needed to do a big course of jumps with speed and precision? Our trainer told you to imagine we were doing it in slow motion. It worked! It helped us not get ahead of ourselves. Do that now and you’ll be fine. What’s playing out now is actually really good. It’s taking you to the other side of things. You’ll see.”

Love, James
