Standing in the Mud - The Reiki Circle Sharing Healing with Horses

It's tough, isn't it? That feeling of being right in the thick of it, standing in the heart of a wound. You might catch a glimpse of a way out, a tiny spark of light beckoning in the distance. But something holds you back, a gentle but firm voice asking you to stay put, right here in the mud. It's like being asked to sit in the darkness, not in fear, but with a quiet knowing that clarity will come.

Our instincts are wired for quick fixes, aren't they? We're designed to flee discomfort, to immediately search for solutions. "How can I change this? How can I make it better? Whose fault is this anyway?" We toss the problem around like a hot potato, desperate to find a way to make the feeling go away. But what if, instead of running, we chose to simply be? To step into the centre of our own reality, owning our part with a sense of responsibility, not blame or shame.

It’s in that space of clean energy and clear boundaries, that we begin to see. It's a kind of steady calm that allows the darkness to reveal its secrets. Like trying to navigate sinking sand, the more we panic and thrash, the faster we go under. The more we question and doubt, the further we drift from our own center. The world around us is teeming with truths, patiently guiding us. Nature reminds us that it takes courage to give ourselves time to adjust to the darkness, to wait for our eyes to truly see.

And to see, we have to let go of knowing. To release our grip on the outcome, surrendering to the mystery of the journey, allowing the rollercoaster of emotions to carry us through. Every choice shapes us, every path we take changes us. The transformational magic lies in how we weave what we've seen and felt into our being, deciding who we choose to become. What happens next is crafted inside us.
