Horse
Authors Note
I have contemplated the concept of "Power"
over the last year and came to that realisation of how
much outside influences can affect how we "Embrace"
or "Relinquish" our "Power". This would not be a
new concept of "Power"...it is an "Understanding"
of yet one more "Dynamic" or "Pattern" we use
within our own "Personal Survival"
I have observed, not only Myself, but those I care for
do the "Dance of Power"
I have witnessed how it either " Dis-Empowers" or
"Empowers" the "Spirit"...
depending on where "They Move" within
"Their Power"
Consider this...
"HOW DO YOU MOVE WITHIN YOUR
DANCE OF THE POWER?"
Bringing The Vision
Mighty Horse
Power to run across the open plains
Or the bring the Vision
Of the Shields
Dancing in Purple Dream Rain...
(Quote Sams & Carson)
The Vision of Me
You come to me with eyes that behold that which I can not see
If I look deeply....I may see the Vision of Me...
That which I seek, sometimes elusive...
Horse, you do not question the Power you Carry
It is Who you Are
You are your Vision
(Ravenmyth)
Horse Vision
Horse, you Dream your own Vision
Will I Dream Mine?
Do You Ask
When did I stop Dreaming?
When did I stop Believing in Me?
When did I let others have dominion over my Life?
When did I stop listening to the Cry of My Own Spirit?
Who Am I?
I Do Not Know Anymore?
When did I get lost?
Power
Horse is a Physical and Unearthly Power.
In Shamanic Practises,
he allows Shamans to fly through the air and reach Heaven.
Before Horse humanity was Earthbound, Heavy Laden
and slow.
This could Metaphorically represent how we tend to be
...Stuck...
...Feel Powerless...
...Fearful of Change...
...Laden with the weight of Life Challenges that we do not
seem to be able to Rise Above...
...Slow to Change...
Alignment
However, upon aligning ourselves with Horse
humans altered their self concept.
Have we forgotten?
How Do I Perceive Myself?
Do I Even Know or Understand When I am Empowered?
Do I Know What Events Led Me To Feeling Empowered?
When Was The Last Time I Felt Empowered?
What Does Feeling Empowered Feel Like For Me?
Where Am I Within My Dance of Power?
Horse Cave Drawings
Horse was the first Animal Medicine of Civilisation.
We have seen their drawings depicted in caves and upon
the earth since the beginning of time.
(Quote Sams & Carson)
When man aligned with Horse, he began to feel Empowered
Black Stallion
Do You Seek?
Black Stallion asked...."Are you seeking an answer on your Journey?"
...I am from the Void where Answers Live....
Ask yourself
Have I been questioning lately?
I know we do at different stages of our life, depending on what
we are facing or experiencing at the time. Whether that be a life
change in career, a move, a change within our relationships,
the death of a loved one, an illness of a loved one...something has changed,
things just do not seem to flow anymore....
What answers do you seek now...in the Moment?
Yellow Stallion
Will You Trust
Yellow Stallion asked...."I can take you to the East where
"Illumination" lives...will you follow?
For here lies within..."The Wisdom of Owl"
Illumination
As the Medicine Wheel is the Silent Teacher...as you Embrace
your Own Illumination and become a Teacher from Experience you
then go forth and Teach others by Example....
Here you begin to Wield
"The Power of Horse"
You Trust and Understand your own Power, going back to when you came to this world and knew who you were. Here is where we begin that journey of remembering.
As Owl is the Night Eagle and Silent Hunter
Horse is the Power earned from the Guidance of Owl towards
"Illumination"
Red Stallion
Joy and Balance
Red Stallion appeared...foretelling of the joys of balance within work
and play. In humour the lesson is remembered within
the laughter.
Do you remember how to Laugh?
How many times have you laughed so hard with another and came away
remembering every nuance of that experience...only to tell the story
again and again.
Not only reliving the Joy, but Teaching the Joy to Others.
When was the last time you Laughed in Joy?
White Stallion
Wisdom & Power
I am White Stallion and I am the Message Carrier for all the Others.
I am Wisdom and Power.
( Quote Sams and Carson)
To carry the Power I must know the answer to that which I seek.
I must not only Own, but also Understand, the Light of my Own Illumination.
I must understand when I am in Balance and Know that I am Joyful
to be able to Deliver the Message from that place of Knowing and
Understanding.
I come from my own Truth of the Heart.
When was the last time you were able to Deliver a Message to Others
from your Own Truth and Understanding?
Did you ask the Question for that which you Seek?
Did you receive your Answer?
Did you recognise Truth when it spoke to you?
Did you step into the Wisdom and Power of White Stallion
and Know It?
Or did you make it OK to be dis-empowered by Others to be Loved
and Accepted...or to get your Needs met?
Were you Untrue to Self because you were afraid of Change?
White Stallion asks...when do You Count...when do you Stand up
and Speak your Own Truth...unafraid!
These are just some of the hard questions we need to ask ourselves
before we can begin to Understand the Wisdom and Power that is
brought by White Stallion and most of all, already resides within us.
...Remember...
The Beginning of My Vision
Power comes to those who are willing to carry the responsibility
of their own rhythm in the Web of Life
"True Power is Wisdom found in Remembering Your Total Journey"
Personal responsibility is a tough one...so often we make excuses as to why we chose and did what we did...trying to make it right...make it OK. Just the process of making a choice can be so stressful...is it the right one, how will others react, will I still be loved, will I get the outcome I am expecting or need.
Will I be OK?
If I choose, no matter what, will I stand up for my Choice and be Responsible, no matter what the outcome?
4 Horses of Power
Medicine Shield
THE GATEWAYS TO PERSONAL POWER
Do you strive for a Balanced Medicine Shield?
Do you Wield your Power of Compassion, Caring, Teaching and Loving?
Do you Share the Truth of Who You Are?
If you can begin to remember those aspects of the Gateways to Power, that natural flow of Power which was a part of you when you came to this world, you can begin that journey back to reclaiming what you already own.
Remember
It does not always have to be an uphill climb....you do not always
have to be alone....even if it feels like you are.
Horse Rhythm
Horse asks, May I Carry You?
Will you melt into the Gentle Rhythm of my gait as I follow Owl?
Will you Ride on the Wind and Free Your Spirit...to then ...
See the Vision of Your Shield?
Here we begin to trust and let go...making that course correction from Dis-Empowerment to remembering that we are a Powerful Sentient Being. The voice within has been quietly whispering in your ear...for days, months or years...hear me, for I will not let you down...are you listening?
I Have A Vision
A Vision of Me
Greek Mythology
of the Gods. These divine steeds were the offspring of the Four Wind Gods
who were said to draw the chariot of Zeus in the Shape of Horses.
In Native American Totems the Horse is Freedom, Stamina, Mobility,
The Land and Power.
( Quote Legends of American Totems)
Here, in different Modalities we see the correlation between The Horse, The Four Corners of the Medicine Wheel and the Four Wind Gods and Power.
Black Stallion in the Mist
Do You Seek?
As we wander through the Mist...we may ask...
...When Did I Give Up My Power...
...Who Did I Give My Power To...
...Am I Afraid of My Own Power...
...Do I Even Know My Power...
Move Beyond Limitations
There are many forms of Power....but Horse gave Humanity
it's first definition of Power...giving Wings to Fly...the Power
To Move Beyond His Own Limitations.
Man could now go farther than ever before...in many directions...and make course corrections if he needed to.
Could we not consider formulating this concept into our own Journey
to Personal Power.
Elusive
Make no Mistake
You Will Step In and Out of Your Power
It is Elusive
...an Oscillating Energy we Strive to Master and Hold...
...A Place and Feeling we are always trying to get back to...
I ASK YOU?
...How Do You Hold Your Power...
...What Does That Feel Like To You...
...When it is Gone from your Own Awareness...Do You Know It...
Lets Consider What That May Look Like To You!
Giving Away Your Power
...I can't do anything right...
...I am a failure...
...I'll never publish this book...
...I am the one that never gets that job...
...I am feeling out of control...
...I am out of step with my world..things just do not feel right...
...Why am I angry and unhappy...
...Why do I keep making excuses to make things right...right for who...
...Why am I always fearful...
Who Do You Give Your Power To?
...A Parent...
...A Friend...
...A Partner...
...A Person of Perceived Authority in Your Life...
...Your Own Needs...
...Your Own Fears...
Owning Your Power
...I feel like I can do anything...
...I feel successful...
...I published that book because I knew I could...
...I got that Job because I Believed in Myself...and then they Believed in Me...
...I am in Control...
...I no longer need...
...I am not Fearful...
...I Decide what is Right for Me because I am the only one who Knows...
Remember
Looking Deeper
What is Power?
Is It Real?
or
Is it a Concept?
I think it is Both.
When we are Wielding our Power it Feels very Real.
When we are not in our Power we may unconsciously conceptualise
the need for a feeling of being back in control of our lives...and living
without fear.
Coming Into The World
We come into this World as a Powerful Spirit
and spend the rest of our Life trying to Come Back To It.
(Quote Ravenmyth)
The Power Time of Horse
Lets Look at Horse in the Medicine Wheel Concept
The Yellow Stallion
The East within the Medicine Wheel Direction...a Place of Illumination...where we begin to Know and Understand our own Power and the beginning of Taking Back our Power.
The Power Time is Morning
The Red Stallion
The South within the Medicine Wheel Direction...a place of Innocence
and Trust...the beginning of the Journey when we were in our Power...when we first came to the world...the child within...when we Knew we were Powerful.
The Power Time is Mid-Day
The Black Stallion
The West within the Medicine Wheel Direction...the time for Introspection...caring enough about You...to go into the Void...to Seek...to Learn...to Understand...to Face Fear...to Allow those Answers In...to then Know the Truth of the Answers you Receive...To Then Be Your Own Truth...
The Power Time is Evening
The White Stallion
The North within the Medicine Wheel Direction...the Place of Wisdom...Leading to Power...Here I Wield my Recaptured Power through the Wisdom of all that
came before me.
Now I Know...Now I Live My True Voice...
Because I am Worth It!
I am now the Balanced Medicine Shield...I have done the Work...
I am Humility, an Instrument of ...
The Great Spirit
Of My Spirit
The Journey
I need to say this again...
True Power is the Wisdom found in Remembering your Total Journey
Horse is Understanding, bringing New Journey's of Discovery to your own
Awareness
Horse Medicine helps you to ride in the New Directions. Here you will
Discover your Own Freedom and Power
Here you will come full circle, from the Powerful Spirit you
came into this world as...through the experiences of Life...leading you in many
Directions...some good, some not so good...
With a Knowledge and Understanding of Self you will be able to do those
Course Corrections along the way...gathering Wisdom as you go...
The Key
Listen to Your Own Spirit
It Guides you with the Power of Horse from the Wisdom of Owl
To All That Is You
No Longer a Fragment of Self
"DREAM YOUR VISION"
"I NO LONGER HESITATE TO DREAM MINE"
