vishuddha: Find your inner voice How important is your inner voice to you? Do you listen to it? Do you honor your feelings, needs, concerns and emotions? How aware are you of what you are experiencing emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually in your work- and personal life? We have all been blessed with a voice, a beautiful and unique sound that defines our inner person. We use that sound when we are angry, happy, sad and it's been like that since the day that we were born. During our developing years we learn more words and more ways to communicate and express ourself, but at the same time we forget how important it is to honor what is happening inside of us. We talk more, but communicate less. So what is the difference? True and authentic communication goes deeper than light conversations such as small talk; it happens on a different, deeper level where we not just express words but also link them to certain emotions and beliefs. It's how we express ourself in a very authentic and powerful way. But when your feelings aren't empowering or uplifting but heavy, sad and overwhelming it can become more and more difficult to express what you're feeling and what you want to do about it. Even asking for help (from someone close to you or a professional) can feel like too big of a deal. Eventually we build up all these unspoken issues, which causes tensions in our body and energetic field. Eventually (a) physical discomfort(s) will become a reality, ranging from simple pains to severe complaints like ulcers, lung infections or even tumors. Your body is telling you to listen.  The 5th chakra is our throat chakra and is located in between our collar bones. It is related to everything that's connected to communication and expressing ourself through words and creating. Imbalances in the 5th chakra therefore directly affect our hands, throat, tongue, arms, lungs, spine, mouth, ears, voice and respiratory system. If you experience (common or severe) colds multiple times through the year, then you might benefit from strengthening your throat chakra before serious imbalances like swollen glands or viruses happen. The latter is what happened to me; during my lifetime I experienced weird, violent colds that would take away my ability to speak for days, gave me a sore throat and eventually it escalated from colds to viruses. I sometimes could barely breathe which made me feel even more anxious, which made me hyperventilate and almost pass out numerous times. My throat, mouth ànd tongue have had been under attack from about age 7 to 27 and doctors had no idea where it came from or what to do. After dedicating my time and energy to myself and my healing, I experienced wonderful things related to my health. After 27 years I no longer have a cold every January (I rarely get colds now!) and I haven't had any weird viruses attacking my throat chakra since 5 years. I also noticed a big shift when I eventually healed my throat chakra, but decided to also strengthen and empower it; I just kept going with my exercises and beliefs because it worked and felt good. I now feel the difference between 'not feeling sick' and 'actually feeling good'. It's a huge deal!  Other frequently occurring issues related to imbalances in the 5th chakra are clogged ears, irritated ears, concentration problems and panic attacks. In the Throat Chakra files at the top of this blog you'll find tips and exercises to try while strengthening your 5th chakra. These are all easy to try, just remember to take it step by step and feel what works for you. When there's an imbalance it might take time and dedication to truly heal and restore the authentic energy. Here's a Golden Rule: whatever you invest, comes back to you threefold. The more time, energy and love you put into your own healing, the more Life will reward you, in many unexpected ways. These are all gifts, which you have absolutely earned after putting in the work and sitting with your inner voice. Listen to what it wants, what you want or your inner child needs. Maybe there are some unresolved issues you'd like to revisit, so you can heal them. Sit with your discomfort for as long as it takes for you to figure out where it comes from and where it's trying to guide you. It's never too late to start listening to yourself Love, Zoë If you are interested in booking a Shamanic or Energy Healing, please contact me to schedule an appointment (you can receive healing sessions in my practice or in your home).

 ℹWist je dat luchtzuigen, slokdarmverstoppingen en zelfs bokken niet altijd een fysieke oorzaak hoeft te hebben? Deze en andere (gedrags)problemen kunnen het resultaat zijn van blokkades in niet de fysieke, maar emotionele laag. Een paard dat bijvoorbeeld bijna altijd op stal staat en gaat kribbebijten of luchtzuigen, doet dit niet alleen uit verveling maar ook uit pure frustratie. Uiteindelijk wordt de stal geassocieerd met deze negatieve emoties en wordt de kans om bijvoorbeeld goed uit te rusten (REM slaap) steeds kleiner. Ze raken steeds prikkelbaarder en zelfs onvoorspelbaar. Geheel misplaatst worden dit soort paarden vervolgens gelabeld als "vals" of "dominant".  Net als mensen zijn paarden gewoontedieren, en geven ze voorkeur aan een levensstijl die voor hen bevorderlijk is. Als wij als mens leren ons bewust te zijn van wat wij positief kunnen bijdragen en wat we beter niet kunnen doen, verbeteren we niet alleen de fysieke en emotionele gezondheid van het paard maar versterken we ook onze band en daarmee onze prestaties. Leven in een voor het paard positieve omgeving waar het al zijn instincten en zintuigen ten volle kan benutten, zal het paard helpen uiteindelijk in staat te zijn om negatieve of stressvolle emoties af te laten vloeiien en terug te keren naar hun "pure" staat. Paarden die getraumatiseerd zijn hebben vaak zo veel opgeslagen stress dat een Integrated Energy Therapy behandeling ze kan helpen los te laten. Paarden die bijvoorbeeld veel en vaak bokken hebben veelal overvolle stress-adrenals (op hun kroep), opgeslagen stress die ze emotioneel niet kwijt kunnen en het fysiek proberen van zich af te schudden.  🌟Wil je meer weten over Energy Therapy?

Their way of not "working" - but connecting with their horses felt so pure and true, I could feel it in my bones. I thought; 'This is what I want to learn, this is what I will pursue.' Now, over 10 years later, I have a passion. To help those who otherwise cannot be heard, to give them a voice and give them their lives back. Setting yourself up for succes or failure Horses are too spiritual and too pure to just grab them, hop on their backs and ask for something without ever giving anything in return, like partnership, comfort, respect and an appropriate environment to live in. Somehow, along the way, we've lost our ability to emphatize, to put someone else's needs before our own. We do this when we have children, we make the best choices possible and put our own lives on hold, just to support them. So why not with horses? When you're setting goals, or having dreams for your horse, how long does it take you to get to the things that really matter? It's not about the lessons, your tack, your fancy outfit and brand new trailer. It's about making sure your horse is willing and able to do the things you ask from him. Not afraid of the consequences when he fails, but asking for guidance when things get tough. Like true partners. Working & living with horses: More than our eyes can see Over the years, while working with all kinds of horses in The Netherlands and USA, I have tested my theories (yes, I have many!) about partnership as the main ingredient during my rehabilitation program. These horses all had different backgrounds, like racehorses, cutting horses, hunter jumpers, reining horses, warmbloods, coldbloods, thoroughbreds. All with often one thing in common: a complicated and heart-breaking past, which has made them either angry at - or afraid of - people. Just physical training and care aren't the right tools for these horses. They'll need much more support and guidance on an emotional and spiritual level. Like humans and other animals, horses have several energy fields. Humans have four (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual), horses have three: physical, emotional and spiritual. Each layer has a cellular memory, in which all kinds of impressions are being stored during their lives. The physical layer is their body, with the cellular memory of wounds, trauma and disease. The emotional layer exists a little outside the body, and carries feelings, emotions and emotional trauma. The spiritual layer is the most distant, with humans this is the layer that carries our karmic lessons and trauma we're carrying from a life we've lived before. Since horses don't carry anything with them from past lives, this layer represents the Spirit itself, the horse's gift to the world. It's the horse in his highest, purest form. As you can see, horses do not have a mental layer. So why is that? Horses are not able to have negative thoughts or feelings about themselves, or limitative thoughts. They don't hold grudges, they just forgive and let go. However. Horses àre able to carry guilt, fear, all empathetically taken on from the humans it serves. Which means that when you're buying a new horse, they might have some energy blockages due to taking over the emotions from their previous owner(s). Since horses, like most animals, are more grounded than us humans, they are masters in empathetically taking on a humans emotion and then release and clear it very quickly. But if the horse's own needs aren't met, like lack of interaction with other horses, the wrong diet or even neglect/abuse, it gets harder and harder to channel all that (negative) energy. At this point, you'll have a horse that is (either) physically, emotionally or spiritually out of balance. These horses always show typical behavior like cribbing, biting, bolting, shoving, not cooperating, low energy, rearing, bucking or sometimes even attacking. Integrated Energy Therapy A great tool (for me) while working with these types of horses, is Integrated Energy Therapy (IET). This is a beautiful and safe way (since I don't necessarily need to be near the horse)to get the energy in their cellular memories flowing again. For example, a little insight in IET from one of my study books: "The cellular memory in the area of the throat and lungs is where feelings of shame about self-expression are suppressed. There is a great deal of strength in the throat center of a horse. This is conveyed by the archetypal image of the horse standing very proud and regal, with no sense of pride or boastfulness. Horses have a tremendous ability to be expressive and spontaneous. They have a very large range of expression."  "Energy can be suppressed into the horse's throat center, when a horse chooses to become "domesticated" so that it can enter into the path of service to humans. Some of the energy of a horse's wild spirit is suppressed into the throat center. When the horse is not serving humans and is allowed to be free, this spirit can flow through the cellular memory of the throat center and the horse's true spirited nature will be expressed. By Energizing and Integrating the horse's cellular memories, we are able to imprint and restore the right energy that allows the horse to remain strong and true. To me, an essential part of working with horses.
"The Human possesses the one thing that means more to the horse than anything in the world, and that is peace and comfort." - Buck Brannaman WORKING IN COMPLETE HARMONY |

Aren't you just a teeny, tiny bit curious about how this horse changed from photo 1 to photo 2, in just three short sessions?
I thought you would be!
The horse in the photos is a big, young Quarter Horse mare with a history of abuse, including bad trailer experiences, with some ending in serious injuries.
Her response to too much pressure/feeling pressured or fear/fear of pain, is to start a physical "challenge" by pulling, rearing or even charging - if we have to believe previous owners.
It took me three short sessions, lots of breathing work ànd the use of some little helpers that I'm about to share with you:
They're called Linden blossom, Hop, Rue and Valerian and they all party in the same bottle:
Relax Compositum

How does it work?
  | Relax compositum supports the horse during stressful events, like a visit from the farrier or vet or moving to a new location. It's an herbal tincture, made with plants that have soothing abilities that help the horse to relax during inner turmoil. It's not recommended for long-term use, since the Compositum will only help fight symptoms of the problem It is however, a great tool to use while safely figuring out the roots of the problem. Start by giving your horse or pony a dosage of 20 - 30 drops, two to three times daily. You can easily cover some treats with the tincture, or drop the oil over their feed. *It is not suitable for lactating horses or during pregnancy. |
The "Relax Compositum" in action:
🌟Stress-free trailer loading for Lucky in three sessions 🐴🌴
She's had some bad experiences so I'm working with her to get her to load safely and without stress.
🌿I'm using the Relax Compositum from De Groene Os to help the horses "calm down" more quickly. It allows their mind to breathe, open up and actually learn, process AND apply what we are doing.
Lucky is infamous for her ability to shut down mentally and emotionally - due to people abusing her - and just physical work alone, will not help break these bad habits.
For a horse like Lucky, there has to be room for emotional, mental and spiritual support, by creating a low energy/high frequency bubble for us to work in, supported by the powerful, all-natural Relax Compositum tincture 🙏🏽

Day one was all about focusing on being calm and in the present around the trailer.
20 minutes before we started this session, I gave her some treats with drops from the Relax Compositum tincture.
I definitely witnessed her emotional state becoming softer after a correction, instead of harder. This offered her more time to take a few breaks and process what we just did.
During this session, she loaded safely with two legs in the trailer.
We actually worked these sessions with three people (me, my horse-savvy husband and the owner of the mare/ranch) to make sure she has support outside and inside the trailer.
It took some practice but after just a few minutes we were perfectly in tune and ready to team up.
As soon as two legs inside wasn't that much of a problem anymore, I started asking for a calm back-up. First by lowering her head, then by gently but firmly adding pressure against her chest and releasing as soon as she moved away.
I watched closely to see if and when her head moved up even a few inches, to respond by stopping her, petting her and talking to her. Then I asked her to drop her head again and after a few times she backed up nicely.
Enough for session one.
Day two was a very interesting day. I never focus on getting the horse in the trailer, I rather focus on creating and maintaining a positive flow for the both of us to work in. Where there is room to safely explore and communicate.
Again, this is exactly the spectrum where the Relax Compositum offers support. Just like the day before, I sprinkled the drops over some treats and after 15-20 minutes we headed towards the trailer.
We worked a lot on backing out (with still just two legs in). She panicked as soon as her ears hit the roof/walls, so in hindsight it was definitely a good call to not load her with all four legs already.
We worked on this, the same way we did during the first session and ended when she started to walk into the trailer herself!
Day three was the day where she finally - and safely! - loaded with all four legs.
We picked up where we'd left off the day before, and so did the mare. She again offered to walk into the trailer herself. We praised and cheered her on and built from that.
It didn't take long for her to - one time, literally - run inside and happily eat her hay and apples. Since we had lots of time left, we turned on the engine of the truck, closed the doors/window and ALL was fine.

So, as you probably can tell I am a HUGE fan of this supplement. I am a true "plant-power hippie" and always looking for the best way to support the wellbeing of the horses that are under my care.
The Relax Compositum is available online!!!! Although, since it's a Dutch company with a Dutch website, I understand if you're having difficulties.
That's why I'm making this EASY by letting you know that you can simply send me an email with your order and I will take care of the rest.

I've worked with several horses who were showing typical signs of stomach problems, or cribbing although they were in good physical condition which was very confusing for the owners.
They tried everything, from changing the feed to monitoring possible ulcers but nothing worked.
After just one session of Energy Therapy, the horses were ALL calming down, processing everything we just went through together, with room to move on and leave this hurtful behavioral patterns behind 🙏🏽👋🏽 How?
When horses are domesticated they no longer have the same freedom a wild horse still has. They trade this freedom for safety and peace with us. But when we take away too much of that (physical of emotional) freedom, they can experience feelings of suppression. This effects our throat, or 3rd chakra, our ability to speak our own truth. In people and animals alike.

I've been fighting nasty throat infections and other throat related illnesses since the day I was born. I tried so many things with so many different doctors, but nothing ever worked until I started to work on my emotional and mental health. I created boundaries, a healthy lifestyle and learned to speak my truth and a lot of physical stress finally went (and stayed) away.
So with horses it works the same way. The body is showing what is going on from the inside, but we need to learn not how to look but how to observe. Horses do not become agressive, dominant or crazy for no reason and it is most definitely possible to help heal them.
I'm always grateful for being asked to work with these horses, the ones that need a voice the most. A voice of their own.
If you'd like to know more about the use of various types of Energy Healing, feel free to send me a message with your questions .

Adaptonicum - De Groene Os 🌟
Gemaakt van het kruid Ashwagandha: "The King of Ayurverdic herbs" 🌿
Deze plant bevat sterke anti-oxidanten en biedt een ondersteunende werking bij angst, stress, slapeloosheid, etc. Ashwagandha heeft sterke adaptogene effecten, maar wat houdt dat nou precies in? 🤔
🌿Adaptogenen zijn kruiden die hun functies binnen ons lichaam kunnen aanpassen naar onze persoonlijke, specifieke behoefte. Verstoringen worden direct opgemerkt, tevens bieden adaptogenen vergelijkbare, positieve effecten op onze gemoedstoestand (zoals het in balans brengen van ons hormoonstelsel).
🙋🏻♀️Ik ben al geruime tijd fan van Adaptogenen. In poedervorm mix ik ze door mijn thee, sap of smoothies, waardoor het oplost en een soort tonic wordt 🍹Mijn huidige Tonic is gemaakt van Cacao, Maca, Cayenne, Kaneel en Pink Salt (allen biologisch). Een combinatie ter ondersteuning van de algehele vitaliteit van Lichaam en Geest en om deze laatste in het Hier en Nu te kunnen laten zijn ☯️
ℹDe tinctuur van De Groene Os is verkrijgbaar in vloeibare vorm (100ml), makkelijk over het voer te druppelen en kan worden gebruikt bij langdurige verschijnselen zoals stress of ter verbetering van het prestatievermogen. Deze tinctuur ga ik gebruiken bij mijn eigen paard, een rescue merrie met nog altijd wat opborrelend oud zeer en alle bijbehorende emoties.

Dus... wàt zat er nou in die doos, die gisteren in onze brievenbus zat..? 🤔😁
In samenwerking met De Groene Os mag ik drie producten gaan gebruiken, ter ondersteuning bij mijn rehabilitatie werk met de paarden, hier in Amerika 👏🏽😍
💘Ik ben helemaal happy met deze samenwerking, De Groene Os is al jaren actief op het gebied van ondersteunende middelen voor (huis)dieren op natuurlijke basis. Niet alleen kunnen hun producten ondersteuning bieden bij fysieke stress, maar ook bij emotionele, mentale of spirituele onbalans. Helemaal mijn ding dus!
1️⃣Het eerste product waar ik mee aan de slag mag gaan, is Groene Leem.
"Een kruidenpasta met verkoelende, verzachtende en herstellende werking van de gevoelige huid." Het wordt veel gebruikt bij wondverzorging, maar ook wij mensen kunnen er iets heel leuks èn nuttigs mee.. 😁

Door paarden hun basisbehoeften zoals ruimte en gezelschap te gunnen zullen ook zij minder stress ervaren
Als je overlevingsmechanisme en de daarbij horende stress - bedoeld om je te waarschuwen voor mogelijk gevaar - je dagelijkse bestaan overneemt, ervaar je uiteindelijk serieuze blokkades, o.a. fysiek.
Ervaren we veel (emotionele) stress, dan slaan sommigen van ons uiteindelijk door in een staat van "Bevriezen" - een overlevingsmechanisme waarmee we ons mentaal en emotioneel kunnen afsluiten tegen onverwachte, enorme golven van stress, angst of andere negatieve prikkels, ervaringen en situaties.
De lagere hersenfuncties in ons Limbisch Systeem nemen het automatisch over. Dat betekent ook lagere vibraties in energie - en de lange termijn gevolgen die dit met zich meebrengt.
❄Bevriezen/Freeze bij zowel Mensen als Paarden: gevoelens van machteloosheid, mentaal afsluiten, gevangen voelen en een opkropping/opborrelen van energie die vroeg of laat ZAL exploderen. Het is een compleet onvrijwillige reactie.
🐴Paarden die dezelfde reactie hebben 'leren ontwikkelen' - door toedoen van de mens - hebben bijna altijd typische, bijkomende 'gedragsproblemen' zoals buddy sourness (niet meer bij hun maatje(s) weg willen) en barn sourness (niet meer van huis weg willen).
Dit soort paarden maken fysiek een 'breekbare', tengere of slungelige - zelfs lompe - indruk. Emotioneel gezien zijn ze ook erg fragiel, maar dan meer als een bom. ⚗

Stress reacties worden in o.a. ons fysieke lijf opgeslagen. Als wij als Mens bijvoorbeeld te veel hooi op onze vork nemen/ te veel op ons bordje krijgen, maar toch doorgaan en onszelf over onze grenzen pushen, ervaren we bijna allemaal hoofdpijn, nek pijn, last van schouderpijn/opgetrokken schouders door spanning/spierknopen.
We kunnen elke maand naar de chiropractor gaan, of een betere bureaustoel aanschaffen, maar als de oorzaak (stress) van deze fysieke pijnen niet wordt aangepakt, zullen dezelfde symptomen altijd weer opduiken.
Hetzelfde geldt voor Paarden 🐴
Hoe veel Paarden ik wel niet tegenkom met rugproblemen, spanning in de poll of kaak, amper bewegingsvrijheid in de schouder...
Deze paarden waren allemaal - fysiek - meerdere malen door verschillende professionals nagekeken en eventueel behandeld. Er was geen oorzaak te vinden.
Terug naar de Mens:
Toen ik klein was, was ik een 'Freeze Person'. Ik klapte dicht, het voelde alsof ik me door een enorme, onzichtbare druk niet meer kon bewegen. Ik hoorde niets meer, er kwamen in ieder geval geen zinnige woorden binnen.
Inmiddels ben ik een "Flight or Fight Person", maar ervaar nog regelmatig het gevoel van Bevriezen, niet meer zo heftig, maar genoeg om me de hele dag op de bank gelijmd te houden.

ℹHet is meerdere malen bewezen dat bewegen de mentale gezondheid van de Mens ondersteund. Maar zo werkt het ook bij Paarden! Paarden met bovengenoemde "typische gedragsproblemen horende bij een extreem "Freeze" instinct als overlevingsmechanisme", verbeteren enorm na wat gymnastiserend werk aan de hand, verruimen van passen, werken aan coördinatie en balans op verschillende ondergronden, etc.
Door fysiek en doelgericht met ze aan het werk te gaan, krijgen dit soort paarden Mentaal en Emotioneel hun gevoel van vrijheid weer - een beetje - terug. Ze leren kunnen vertrouwen op hun eigen 4 benen, onder begeleiding van de mens en langzaam maar zeker vloeit ook de opgeslagen stress in het fysieke lijf helemaal weg. Hoe mooi is dat?
Hoewel het bij Mensen en Paarden dus - een beetje - anders werkt, feit blijft dat gezonde porties van fysieke uitdaging, onze hersenfuncties verbeteren. Vanuit daar vindt het zijn eigen, unieke weg in ons fysieke, emotionele en spirituele lijf.
