The weather here became decidedly autumnal this weekend. Heavy rains and wind from a tropical storm, and nighttime temperatures that convinced the barn to swap horses from night turnout back to day turnout. It feels like book writing weather.
I have plans for my next book vaguely in an outline, but am a little nervous about this book being decidedly more “woo” than my previous one. It will be covering the internal energetics of working with horses. It may be that it’s really about controlling your body movement, tension, and breathing to convey certain concepts to horses. Signals transmitted at a level below conscious awareness. Still, doesn’t our perception shape our reality? Does it really matter in the end whether you pushed a bubble of energy outward or simply stood straighter, squared your shoulders, and held your breath? If the end result is the same, and I speak of energy bubbles, doesn’t the imagination become an action regardless? Sometimes the imagining is far easier than “put this body part here, expand this part there, lift this.” I’m an engineer by trade. I enjoy making things easier. Our brains prefer making things easier. And so, my next book is on the energetics of working with horses, and perhaps a little bit on how this type of energy work can be put to use in other, less horsey areas of life. We’ll see. As the dark half of the year sends me into indoor dreaming and typing mode, thoughts become actions and the magic of words on paper occurs once again. I’m looking forward to it.
