Hi all,
Delighted to see this conversation about horses. I am not very used to
horses. Last week, I held a very small constellation workshop in a yurt
in a field. The horses seemed very, very interested: See picture below.
In fact at one point, there was a horse looking in through each window and
one looking in at the door.

The 'gaze' at work in the way described can be seen at about the 3:55 mark

That's a great point Anni, this is how incredibly subtle our communication
is. As you say, and after establishing up the communication setting, I was
directing my gaze at the horse to first drive her, and then moved my gaze
to
her hind quarters, which brought her to a halt and no ropes or other
devices needed! Experiencing a large powerful animal responding to such an
effortless human action, and with such loyalty to the connection, has
provided me a wonderful and precious insight to the sensitivity needed also
in constellation work. Dean

Regarding horses, Yes, of course there are some of us who have both
observed
the patterns that are apparent in horse dynamics but also those of us who
have used horses as representatives in constellation work. I was just
thinking yesterday about the idea of eye energy and how we exert this
clearly when we work with horses. A horse responds immediately to the
location of a person's eye contact with parts of its body. If a person
simply looks at the hind quarters, the horse will move forward. If the
gaze, without any other external cue, simply shifts to the shoulder the
horse will stop or turn. We work so much with gaze in constellations that
it
has interested me to see this particular instinctive quality in a horse.
The power of the eye is great. I know the topic of horses in constellations
has been a topic before but it is always of interest to me. Thank you for
bringing up discussion of these most beautiful beings. With gratitude,
Anni

Dear All,
My family and I have just returned from a weekend Join-up clinic,
by one of Monty's qualified students here in Australia, Lynn Mitchell.moment in
This non violent approach to horse training is world renown and there are
plenty of Youtube clips demonstrating how well it works. I can assure you
firsthand that to see six very different people, some with no horse
experience and a few with a lot, work with eight horses also with varying
levels of training, and for them all to achieve the same 'join-up'
such gentle ways, is awe-inspiring.characteristics
Monty Roberts has articulated some fundamental communication
of the horse that, for me, resonate strongly with what Bert Hellinger hasOrders
articulated in the Orders of Love. I am not suggesting there is a direct
correlation between the two, but I am confident that to work with the
of Love in constellation work requires a very similar mindfulness andhorses
attitude that doing a 'Join-up' with a horse involves. In that way, I
consider it a very instructive tool for us as facilitators in our ongoing
training.
Aside from wanting to recommend any facilitator with an interest in
to try one of these clinics, I'm also interested to hear more about how
others have explored the relationship between working with horses and
constellation work.
Best wishes,
Dean
