    I Dissent: A Letting Go Of Old Patterns

    I Dissent: A Letting Go Of Old Patterns

    "When the old patterns arise, I will dissent. When life convinces me, it is something to be endured rather than enjoyed, I will dissent.
    And I will show up here, and I will write about it, as a reminder to those wanting to hold hands and do the same."

    Birds Coast When They Can

    Birds Coast When They Can

    There’s a beautiful phrase that I hold gently in my hands, that I’ve adopted as one of my mottos for living.

    "Birds coast when they can".

    Every time I say it out loud to myself, I’m met with the glorious vision of a bird in flight, that proves these words to be true.
    Birds coast where they can is a reminder to let yourself be supported.

    A reminder to look for opportunities for ease, and where you, yourself, may be complicating things in a way that isn’t necessary. Doing too much for what is required.

    Where are the opportunities for you to coast?

    How can you allow yourself to be carried?

    And what are all the ways you argue against allowing this to be the case?

    Discussing Movement Patterns & Pathways (and why they should interest you)

    Discussing Movement Patterns & Pathways (and why they should interest you)

    The possibilities for your horse to move functionally and in a way that promotes health and wellness exist only within the range that he is balanced; our job as riders, then, is not only to facilitate balance in them in order that they can carry us without compromising themselves, and to ensure that our balance point matches theirs.
    The area of study that I’ve involved myself in is really interested in the movement of the fascial trains and the path of movement that the body follows when it is in the parasympathetic, or not in fight flight. The key element that we pay attention to is the movement of the centreline and the arc that the centreline follows to produce healthy movement patterns.
    In this episode, we discuss movement patterns and their relationship to the nervous system: how your nervous system manifests in movement, why understanding movement pathways is important and how we can use that knowledge to create ways of moving and riding that optimise harmony and health.
    I hope you enjoy it! If you want to learn and explore more, we expand on these understandings in my membership program JoyRide. You can learn more by visiting www.confidentrider.online/joyride.
    Enjoy!

So very helpful — mind, body and soul.

Worth the time, every time!

I’ve started listening in the last six months. I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression foe YEARS. I realized that my internal space/head space was negatively affecting the relationship with my mare. She’s a sensitive soul; a former rescue who lived alone for years. Jane’s insight into how my anxiety could be managed and her tips for balancing my energy have just blown me away. She gets me. I’m not a riding competitor; just an average person wanting to learn techniques to manage my day to day life. Jane, you are a goddess-send!
