Frankinsence and Peppermint

G. Mann

Description

Crisis, self-discovery and pure magic
During a profound healing, spiritual gifts began to open. I began a very serious practice of meditation, breathing and increasing my personal energy. Certified in equine massage therapy, I was called to work on a horse, only problem was he would not let me touch him. I had to find another way. Through meditation I connected with him and his herd, a whole new world opened. I found myself being mentored by horses, seeing, and experiencing them in a completely different way. I began to question everything and meditate for extended periods of time over the next few years.
Surrendering to Source, to the best of my ability, it opened me up to an entirely new world of possibilities and adventures. Leading me down a path of self-discovery and truth. Realizing that I had been living a life of lies, completely upside down. Love wasn’t what I thought it was and I had to learn how to love myself like never before, for the first time. It came with a price, having to face my demons, experiencing the dark nights of the soul which lasted weeks.
I had to start again after losing everything, including my mind, to find me. I had to take my power back. I am now driven with purpose to create a new life for myself, not settling for anything less that love, respect, and honor.

Description
During a profound healing, my spiritual gifts began to open such as psychic abilities to smell, know, hear spirits, mediumship and what seems to be prophetic impressions. As a result of all these gifts opening, I began a very serious practice of meditation, breathing and increasing my personal energy vibration so I could fine tune these gifts and be more purposeful by using them for the greater good.
Certified in equine sports massage therapy, and energy work, I found myself volunteering at horse rescues in my free time. While everyone else would do chores so they could ride, I unknowingly was there to heal. It brought me great comfort just to be in the presence of the horses. I saw things in the horses’ eyes and behavior that others didn’t. It made me want to nurture them. While everyone was out riding, I would groom the horses that were left behind. Some because they were old, others because they were hard to control. I would put a lead rope on trying to lead them to the crossties and they would become out of control, throwing their heads around, stomping their feet or just bracing themselves. It was upsetting for me. I only wanted them to feel good. There had to be another way around upsetting them so much. Better not force them to the crossties.
I decided that I would go out in the woods to meditate to see if I could receive guidance. During meditation I was inspired to leave the lead rope out of the equation and just take the grooming supplies to them where they were eating hay. There were many horses that lived on the multiacre property. They were allowed to roam freely most of the time. They would come in for feeding quite willingly, not so much for anything else. Being able to eat hay and not being tied to anything, they seemed a little more open to me attempting to groom them. They seemed to only tolerate it for short periods of time, but as time passed they started to trust that I didn’t want anything more from them and stood for longer. Some of them even stopped eating as if it was more enjoyable to be groomed at that moment. That made me happy.
There was one horse I was very curious about. His name was Geronimo, a gorgeous tan paint quarter horse with white patches and white socks topped with a black outline on all four legs up to his knees, a multicolored mane and tail. He was only seven years old, a big boy and labeled a troublemaker. His tail was a mess, it was the talk of the farm, no one could touch it. It was so tangled that it could be used as a club to knock someone out if you weren’t careful. Of course, I made it my mission to untangle that tail. He had such an innocence in his eyes, frustration too. One day I approached him at the hay rack with my bag of supplies. I looked him in the eye and asked him to please keep me safe, I didn’t know what happened to him before I got there but I don’t want to hurt him, only help. I had bought all new stuff just for him in purple, my favorite color. I let him smell each grooming tool before I planned on using it. Some days he would let me groom only for ten minutes, other days longer, some days not at all and that’s okay, we were building a relationship. On the days he didn’t want to be groomed, I would go into the woods and meditate. He kept his promise of keeping me safe. If the horses started to maneuver in an unsafe way, he would step away from the rack or put himself in between any potential danger. I was amazed but couldn’t believe that a horse had that much intelligence, he must have been doing it for another reason I wasn’t aware of. It took me about three weeks for him to trust me enough to work those tangles out. It was a beautiful exchange of patience, boundaries and respect between us. I would work on his tail until he stepped away, then I would wait until he would come back, putting it right in front of me so I can get to work again. It didn’t take me long to figure out when he had enough, he would pick up his back leg purposefully. If I didn’t catch it that time, he would do it again. Once, I was so close to finishing I wasn’t paying attention and he stomped his foot twice and then threw it back. I got it that time. I knew on some level that he wouldn’t hurt me unless I really overstepped my boundaries in a really big way. There were many times that I would overstep, he would walk away and not come back. Occasionally I would get so frustrated I would sit on a piece of wood and cry. He would come over to console me. Once he even put is head right on my chest and nudged me over the other side, my feet flew up in the air. Boy did I get mad, I cried like a little girl and turned my back to him. He came up behind me and placed his nose on my back. I didn’t know it at the time but according to the other people at the farm, he was joining up with me. I really didn’t care so much about that, I wanted to know why I was crying like a baby all the time. Turns out he was healing me. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Then COVID-19 pandemic came with self-quarantine. Some states you had to have papers showing you are an “Essential Worker” to even be allowed on the roads. The national guard were at airports and borders of many states. The hospitals were full, and people were scared. I had nothing but time to meditate, breathe and do my energy practice. I would meditate for hours every day for weeks and weeks. I was on the fast track to healing. My meditations became more interesting every day. They were revealing the spiritual significance to the pandemic. The main message of the virus was the old ways of doing are over. Non-conformity. Non-conformity, non-conformity. I heard it over and over every day. No more running to the medicine cabinet for pills to make it go away. It was time to take responsibility for the condition of ourselves and our planet. More importantly, it is time to take care of our animals with love and respect. All life is sacred, the most important rule many humans have forgotten. Who would have guessed that one of the many we have enslaved for centuries and beyond, would be the very souls to help us heal. Starting from this very moment, forgetting all that has been done to them. All that is required is an open heart and mind. Requiring no apologies, no sacrificial redemption, no need to even the score. Simply be acknowledged as our equals. I can’t think of a more spiritual being than the horse. They are teaching me the same principles that people, (the so-called superior species), are paying big bucks to gurus to learn. Reading book after book, seeking understanding and enlightenment. Enlightenment is nothing more than a better level of understanding the truth of who we are than we had before that moment. Enlightenment is ongoing, it’s not a level, it is an ongoing journey.
More guidance and guides came about my healing, where I’m going and what my life’s purpose is. I missed the horses so much. Then one day they started showing up in my meditations as an energetic eye of bluish-purple smoke. I could almost immediately identify which ones they were from the impression of the eye. Something really miraculous began to happen, I was connecting to horse consci
