Mind Your Own Thoughts on Your Divine Path with Horse

January 22, 2024 By Kathy Pike Leave a Comment

As I have been roaming the snowy pastures with my herd and cross-country skiing under the magnificent ponderosa pine trees, I voice and repeat: “Let me continue to serve better than I ever have, empowering others with their horses to raise human consciousness. Open the way for those ready to come on this journey with me.” 

As I voice this mantra, my internal being is content that I am creating a means to be of service. I feel alive with the possibilities of meeting new people and helping them with their horses. And I am confident in my path and my choices.

Many changes and new experiences have come my way in the last three years. I am sure it is the same for you. The only constant is change. The questions are:

Are you making the changes YOU want, or is the external world making them for you?
What voices are in your head controlling your choices?

What you see before you is the result of what you have been thinking about (unconsciously and consciously).

When we are on the brink of discovery or learning, we can often go back to old patterns of thought. Sometimes, we run old mental tape loops based in fear, doubt, and worry without even realizing it.

We might think:

Oh, I will do that next year.
What if I invest, but then I am not happy?
I must do all these other things before I can do what I love.
I must be responsible first and take care of things I was taught to take care of.
Is this going to make a difference?
I am just not good enough.
I don’t want to fail, so I will do what I am currently doing.
What I have is good enough; who am I to shine?
It’s too expensive.
I am not worth the investment.

These are not the voices of your higher self. These are not the voices of your inner guidance or intuition. Your higher self, the part of you connected to the Divine, does not linger in limited thought. 

Instead, activate a voice that invites the next step of life with phrases such as:

Open the way to my next step on my divine path of life.
What would be fabulous about this that I am unaware of at this time?
 What new possibilities would open up if I trusted my desires?
My divine path is before me; it is my job to open the door and step through.
Partnership with horses and mother nature is my path; it is time.
I trust my gut.
The universe continues to give me the leads on my path; I now need to act.
Show me the way to my next level of learning with horses
I deserve to learn and expand.
This is my path.

I invite you to look closely at how you are designing your life and your choices through the internal thought patterns you allow. Are they from the old conditioned voices in your head that keep you small? Or are they from a deep connection to your soul’s path with horses?

If you are ready to claim your path and be with horses in this unique and expansive way, I would love to help you.

Spring is coming right up, and so is my Spring Super Savings for EFLC Level One!

“The Academy for Coaching With Horses’ EFLC program has been the single most transformative experience of my life, one that has continued well past program completion! I have gained an awareness into the power of the mind-body connection and have learned a variety of tools to use with clients to help them experience deep connection on many levels, all with the goal of creating authenticity of being and life experiences for the client. My EFLC sessions empower potential mothers and mothers to take control of their mental and emotional well-being by partnering with retired broodmares. Stress and anxiety decrease for women experiencing issues around infertility, miscarriage/the loss of a child, childbirth, and postpartum depression and/or anxiety. While working with the broodmares, my clients gain higher levels of emotional and mental well-being to support the transformation and wondrous experience of being a woman.” Johanne Gentlebread, Abiding Sunday, River Falls, Wisconsin

“This program changed the course of my life. As a certified NLP coach with 30 years of corporate background, I already saw the impact coaching can have on one’s life. When I discovered the world of coaching with horses and embarked on Kathy’s journey, I saw this impact multiply. A new world of possibilities opened up for my personal and professional growth.  Today, I am privileged to partner with my horses to help professionals and leaders unleash their natural and authentic leadership and accelerate their growth. A blessing I will be forever grateful for.”  Karine Roy,  Beyondwordz.ca, Montreal, Canada

What this program did for me is almost indescribable. Most importantly, it solidified why and how I want to work with horses and people. This program brought to life the whole picture of emotional intelligence, energy, communication, and healing. With this program, I have finally been able to apply my medical background and focus on trauma-informed care and integrative mental health, with the somatic portion of working with horses. The course was a massive step toward the whole picture of mind, body, and soul work with horses.
I am very grateful for my experience with the Academy for Coaching with Horses. The love, passion, and deep commitment Kathy has put into the program are incredibly powerful, unlike anything I have ever experienced. I am excited to offer this type of coaching to people in San Luis Obispo, CA, to honor horses and help others move forward through challenging life experiences.” Emerald McLeod, www.healingwithhorsesSLO.com, San Luis Obispo, CA USA
