Reconnecting with a Memory Why This Exercise? The memories we carry are not just stories from the past—they hold emotions and insights that shape who we are today. By revisiting a meaningful memory, you can rediscover what truly inspires and fulfills you in your connection with horses. What to Do: In a calm moment, like a meditation, you will travel inside your memories and find that moment in the past that is connected with your emotional core. How to do this—you will find further down on this page. Why This Matters: This exercise helps you recognize what is most important to you. It’s not about choosing the most exciting memory but about finding the one that feels right—one that connects to your deepest motivation. Keep It Simple: Even the smallest moments—a glance, a breath, a quiet ride—can hold powerful meaning. These are often the most authentic, untouched by external expectations. Trust the Process: Let the memory guide you. It will reveal something valuable about what you truly seek in your journey with horses. There’s no right or wrong—just what is meaningful to you. Enjoy the process and allow your memory to inspire your path forward! 🌿✨
It does not have to be a "childhood memory," - any memory that shows up is what you are looking for.
