The horsemanship world is an interesting place. People who believe that force, anger, these are just dumb animals, etc. will argue forever and write off anyone that practices compassion, empathy, partnership, leadership. This will go on as it has until the end of time. When you bring horses into a therapeutic environment all of the "take control over your horse" practices go right out the window. That will never work when it comes to utilizing horses with people that struggle with their mental health. Guess who struggles with their mental health at some point in their lives? EVERYONE. You'd think and, maybe, hope that all of the strides we see from working in partnership with these amazing animals would trickle into the world of horses outside the counseling realm. Tune to to this show, hold back that need to write off what our guest does successfully without anger, without treats, and without those tired old fashioned ways of managing horses. Listen. Be open. Have an experience of letting a horse choose. It

How do people in the healing profession work on their own healing? Are they the proverbial "worst patient" when it comes to their own healing? How hard is it for the shaman (known as the wounded healer) to receive their own healing?Let's start by acknowledging that most healers or shamans do not see themselves as "healers". They help facilitate healing - your healing. They are a skilled practitioner in the healing arts guiding their clients or patients towards their own healing powers. As an example, they do not run around telling everyone who will listen that they are Healed and a Healer nor would they state they have Healed anyone. This is called arrogance which is not the way of any shaman. Join Martha Juchnowski and Kristin Walker as they discuss what it means to be in the healing arts and their own journeys with receiving their own healing.Martha is a registered nurse, psychic medium, and spiritual healing facilitator.

Join author, channel, and medium Athena Demetrios for a discussion about healing and what it means to walk between two worlds. About Athena:In 1979, a strange series of events became an Initiation which swiftly opened doorways into other dimensions. Although I did not understand it at the time, I was being awakened by the Ascended Master Saint Germain to the Cosmic Laws of the Universe. Beginning the journey inward, connecting to my God Self, 37 years later I remain both a devoted student and Teacher of Light. Upon occasion, various Masters will bring forth messages both verbally and in the written word. In the early eighties, through another sequence of mysterious events, I crossed paths and encountered my “Mystical Muse” James Martin Peebles (1822-1922). Dr. Peebles informed me of a past life connection we shared as we lectured and worked together on several projects in the 1800’s during the Spiritualist movement. This information has been documented. I have come to understand my fascination and contact w
