Been a long year .... lots of Physio, Bowen, Acupuncture & No Hands Massage to help me recover from the accident that happened last yr. Spent some wonderful time living at Hame Farm http://www.cheshireliveries.co.uk/ getting to know Hannah who manages & teaches all wonderful things for Horses and Riders in what are peaceful, idyllic locations.
Business plan is almost completed, updated website progressing ....
In the meantime, this is wonderful periodical .......... Eleanor kindly interviewed me for the the most recent issue .. here's the link ...

Recently i moved into a new home, it really is feeling like home ! Able to unpack properly for the first time in 18mths, rediscovering a few things that were packed away 6yrs ago. Now organising work and living space at home and making plans for offices at Cheshire liveries and the reopening of my therapies work :)
Happy days ......

An Ass taking medicinal plant oils
The medical diagnosis is largely irrelevent, it helps to have knowledge of potential interactions between synthetic drugs and medicinal oils; however, in my own experience, Animals do not choose oils that are incompatible with any treatment drugs.
This Ass has selected the oil required by inhaling a number of different oils, his responses are clear Yes pleases ... trying to take the bottle, licking or mouthing the bottle or attempts to inhale the smell or No .. head turning away and refusal to proceed further.
One of the greatest challenges helping working Egyptian Donkeys, Asses, Mules and Horses using this approach, is their frequent inability to lick using the tongue; this may be because the tongue or it's muscles are actually broken from the use of wire bits or because they have no experience of using the tongue, they have no controlled use of it; they normally just grab solid food and suck up water.
Often in this case, as with the Ass above they will try to use their teeth to scrape the oil from the hand, suck the hand or rub the insides of their lips and gums onto the oil in the hand.
This Ass selected oils associated with clearing trauma and those with anti-viral properties.
The Ass is often white or many shades of brown and is considerable larger than the biblical small grey Donkey which also bears the black cross shaped marking over it's back.
The Ass also has a very loud bray.

conflict and love
It's a part of human interaction that we all have conflicting expectations and what we hear isn't always what has been said or meant. What i learned studying The Psychology of Vision and from A Course in Miracles has helped me greatly to realise that if someone is intent on having a conflict with me, they will go ahead !
Loving interactions are hallmarked by respectful, calm dialogues, where each person can say what is happening to them without brining into the talk any judgement or criticism or any negative speak.
Conflict resolution is based upon a wish to gain insights from a deeper level of mutual understanding, love and respect. Psychological research tells us, it is not possible to learn or listen when being shouted at, judged or criticised; in fact the bodys autonomic nervous systems flys into alarm mode and we are concerned with survival and no more.
If i remain in my grounded self, secure in my own self esteem, fully consciously aware of my whole true self, a peaceful soul always, remembering past listenings to the feedback of trusted friends and teachers, then i am ok. When i studied counselling at the University of Manchester, we had at least 2 modules which explored conflict resolution and the effects of conflict on the quality of our relationships and on our health. It was an amazing gift to every one of us who by virtue of our work, often found ourselves right in the middle of human conflict or on the end of it.
As Chuck Spezzano says " if another is more interested in right rather than peace, you know they are not coming from the heart but from the ego". Anger belongs to the person expressing it, their feelings are their own and their responsibility. Out of context anger is always about the past, unhealed emotional baggage and it belongs to the individual spewing it out.
When we are all committed to the power of love rather than the love of power ....... conflict ends forever.
In relationship, anger and rage and judgement breaks bond, repels the peaceful and attracts more conflicting negative energy to the person expressing it.
A peace-filled life, comes when we understand we are responsible for the quality of all our interactions, that we can walk away from others who do not share our wish for peace and that forming relationships with people who do not have that goal uppermost in their communications, is likely to lead us to grief.
Loving, living lovingly and peacefully is all about talking personal responsibility, not wildly blaming or judging another nor "thinking" that we are superior or right. If someone is shouting and in anger, it is always with themselves, you can do nothing to help that person. They have locked themselves into the blame game; they will veer from the role of persecutor, victim, rescuer, they cannot be heart centred until they clear out the baggage and the only person who can liberate them from a cycle of negativity and grief is themselves.
As Abraham Hicks points out we learn by contrast, let people go, thank them for gifting you a lesson, for showing you where you are not and for all you can learn from that experience :)
Peace xx
