4 Movement

Absolutely fantastic information from Shea Stewart- please read this slowly and take it in… think of what you can do when working over the horse’s face, around his ears and jawline - especially when using The Masterson Method, Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork Light to the Core techniques. I see changes in the position and softness in horse’s eyes often after working with them.
Shea is an absolute gift to all for sharing such incredible information.
🙏🐎💚

This is an incredibly beautiful post… please take your time in a quiet comfortable place to read through it. I am holding my breath in hopes of taking a CS course with Equine Balance by Shea Stewart when she comes to California thanks Jane Kameny Brown next year. Shea is a spiritual gift in human form. 🙏💖💫

Have you ever noticed what it is that influences your eyes to look one direction or the other, or what influences a new thought or idea? Or what caused us to shift our idea or perception? The mystery of what calls our attention to look on the ground at the very moment to avoid an accidental death of a caterpillar, or sensing a presence that causes us to glance up to a branch exactly to the place where a tiny bird sits, watching us walk by and navigating their escape. What causes us to watch the sun set on the ocean, this thing that pulls us all the way to the edge. Do you ever notice what pulls you back from the edge of the ocean, and back into your own body? We are all immersed within layers of sensations. Yet some people hold us within the constraints of a limit of how many sensory receptors we have. At first it was five with the mysterious 6th, then there was 12, oh wait, now we have 21 senses. In my training it is unlimited as being that we are molecularly 99% water, and water is a known transmitter and receiver of information and now believed to have it’s own consciousness. Our CSF is also 99% water close to the same ph as the sea. Invertebrates that live in the ocean share similar cells with us. The cells of the neural plate of a starfish perceive information from the sea…do I go here, or move away from there, where is the food, what is the fluctuation of the sea saying. These cells transmit information from the fluid it is making contact with. Our similar cells that make contact with our cerebral spinal fluid, live on the inside of our brain and in microscopic photos, resemble sea coral. This fluidic motion within us that is in constant communication with the inside and outside world, happens without synapses and can be totally synchronized. Outside of our body from our skin to 3 feet is considered our biosphere, also consist of our own mist that gathers information from the outside world to send to our inside world. We are surrounded by our own sensory bubble. Every molecule in our body can be considered a sensory receptor, in constant communication with every system inside and outside of our body, all in a rhythmic flow. When we experience an assault to the system, this rhythmic flow shifts and protects that specific area, safe guarding it. And we contract ever so slightly, tuning out some of the input we are receiving as our body focuses on protecting itself. Then another trauma, whether physical, emotional, spiritual, sets in and becomes like a little black hole, or an empty space between our cells. Then another, then another, and one day we are full of these disruptions all throughout our bodies and living in a completely contracted state. Unable to feel the underlying health in our own system. The slow rhythmic deep sea wave is drowned out by the storm happening at the surface of our internal ocean. And through our own culture’s conditioning, we then turn to an allopathic solution to a holistic problem. Our current medical society has removed mind and spirit and reduced our bodies to separated anatomical parts. We stop noticing and appreciating the subtleties, only looking at the grand gestures. We stop paying attention to what influenced our attention to shift, we stop noticing our breathing, we carry tension in our heart space, we stop noticing the small breeze that gently caressed our skin, we stop noticing how busy our mind has become, so much so that we seek constant noise and stimulus. We need noise when we are alone, noise to fall asleep in hopes that it is loud enough to drown out the noise inside our own minds. Once again turning to an allopathic solution to a holistic problem because quieting the internal chatter seems like an impossible feat. But our original matrix of health is always there, working behind the scenes, waiting to feel safe enough to let go of what no longer serves it. Waiting to open back up to our primitive capacities, our intuition, our communication with earth’s resources, the relationship to the natural world. We spend our entire lives on this earth but how often do we take time to understand what this means? To feel earth’s elements in our systems from our embryological development, feel the amniotic fluid from our mother living inside our own CSF that carries the stories of our ancestors. What we pay attention to grows. And with current studies of water, we can see that our intentions are reflected in the consciousness of water. We are mostly water, designed to sense and harmonize into the natural world all the way to the horizon. In a book called The Heart of The Hunter by Laurens Van Der Post, the author speaks about his time with the Kalahari Kung people of Africa, and that they could sense the rhythms of nature moving back and forth all the way from the horizon. This is our birthright. Below is a horse I was asked to work with from a training perspective who had “behavior issues”. After 5 minutes I stopped and decided she needed craniosacral.
