Horses Help Heal Hearts 💖
No words needed.
Be still… and feel what is real.

With horses, emotions are welcome and encouraged to move
grief, loss, trauma, or anything heavy the heart has been holding.
When feelings have a safe outlet, the body can soften and begin to heal.

Are you longing for a safe, quiet place to let go?

The Power of Pause!
Just 7 seconds of focused breathing!
Horses are masters and great teachers of the Power of Pause!

Several seconds holds an incredible amount of potential. So it begs the question: what do we have the ability to change when we call in the power of pause? Much of our day-to-day life is based upon fast reactions, stored emotions, or bypassed experiences. Yet as we rest in the cocoon of the slower months, we have an opportunity to remember the power of 7 seconds. The emotions we are driven by hold a hormonal, neurochemical reaction that begins to dissipate around 6-7 seconds. From a physiological standpoint, we exist in a natural state of flow—but in our human experience, we begin to store rather than release, and prolong rather than transform. With this understanding in mind, how can we begin to harness the quick-shifting processes of our biology to cultivate more ease and less stagnation? Perhaps harnessing the power of pause can lay a foundation for how we exist in our bodies, in relationship, and in the world at large—not in suppression or reaction, but in proactivity. As our lives pick up pace again, despite nature’s rhythm encouraging us to slow down, let the power of pause be the guide. When the emotional experience unfolds, pause with the sensation. Be with the trigger. Breathe with the reaction. Count for 5-7 seconds and allow the neurochemical response to pass through. How does the body feel? Are your muscles still tense? Is the initial knee-jerk reaction still at its height or has it dissipated? We are wired to release rather than stagnate—and ultimately, the choice is ours in how we choose to engage. During a time where we are feeling so much as a species, intentional moments to pause, be, and breathe can significantly transform how we live—and even our body’s potential to thrive. Today, relish in the gift of pause. It doesn’t have to be an unobtainable amount of time for there is incredible potential in merely 7 seconds. All it takes is intentional awareness. . #zachbushmd #emotionalregulation #breatheinbreatheout #bodywisdom

“The holidays look joyful on TV… but in real life, they can hurt when someone you love isn’t here anymore.” Craig from Hallmark’s Finding Mr. Christmas took over my social media today to share something we don’t say out loud enough: 🎄 The holidays can be beautiful and heartbreaking. 🎄 Grief doesn’t take a season off. 🎄 Missing someone can make even moments of joy feel heavy. Craig spoke about the pain of celebrating without the people we wish were still here—and the courage it takes to face the holidays with an empty chair at the table. I’m grateful he shared what he’s learned about grief, healing, and finding peace. And if you’re struggling this season, you don’t have to do it alone. Grief expert, David Kessler is hosting a few free holiday grief events to support anyone who is hurting right now: 👉 www.holidaygrief.com You deserve care, comfort, and community—especially this time of year. 💬 What’s the hardest part of the holidays for you when you’re missing someone?

I'm looking for recommendations for a company to clear some of a forest quarter with pine, spruce and some popular and fence it : 1. for pasture for horses 2. brush hog some swamp land to bring it back to useable land. This property is SE of Rocky Mountain House. Would like do it this fall. TIA! Photo shows some of what the forest looks like.
