Something really amazing happened yesterday. When I had sent out an email to my friends that I was coming to Wyoming and if they could recommend any places, my friend Ed from upstate New York emailed me that he was in
Jackson. I told him that I longed to be on a horse ranch and if he knew of any. He asked his friends but they didn’t know of any but Ed gave me the phone number of his friend Trace and said that I could call him when I was in
Jackson. So when I arrived two days ago, I called him and ask if he knew of anyone with horses as I still had that longing to be with horses and hopefully to do some riding in this amazing area. I did wonder why I still had this strong longing as I haven’t had that for years. Trace told me he only knew of the
Therapeutic
Riding
Center and that they always are in need of volunteers. I felt I needed to go there so in the afternoon I drove to the center.
When I arrived, I told them that I was in town for a few days and that I had been told that they need volunteers. They cheered and asked if I could help now as they were putting invitations for their fundraiser in envelopes. So I joint the group and smiled to myself. Here I was, in a new town, preparing invitations and meeting new people. Most people go sightseeing when they haven’t been somewhere before. What I love about this is that it is a great way of meeting new people quickly.
They told me about the special programs that they do and recommended that I go and watch a session so I sat down outside of the arena watching Donna, the therapist, work with Laura. Laura is a woman of 34 who had been in a terrible accident seven years ago. She was paralyzed and the doctors had told her that she would not be able to walk again. Two years ago, she came out of her wheelchair and is now walking with a cane.
While watching her, I felt that I might be able to help her so I thought I would approach her after her session and offer to do some healing on her. Donna suddenly asked Laura what kind of music she likes as she works with music in her sessions. Laura said classical as well as Jazz. I knew that this was the perfect time for me to speak up so I said; how about live music? I am a singer and a sound healer. Donna invited me in the arena. While I walked into the arena, I felt tingling throughout my entire body. Laura sat on Smokey the horse; two women held her legs and one was leading the horse. While the walked around the arena, I did my toning. After about 5 minutes I stopped and Donna came up to me with tears in her eyes. She said; that was amazing. Laura told me that she had felt her entire body relax which she has not been able to do at all for the last seven years. Donna asked if I wanted to do some more so we did another five minutes. In the meantime, Donna has asked for Kelly the executive director to come and watch and some other people who were there watch too.
After I was done, the three of us looked at each other and we all knew that this had been a very special moment. Even the trainers who were working with the horse had felt it. Laura said that she had felt the horse totally relax and that this was better then any massage that she had ever had.She said that since the last seven years she had constantly felt pain but in the last ten minutes she had not felt any. She is writing a book about Chronicle pain and all the things she has discovered that can help and said; I want to add another chapter to my book about this. Can I interview you? I want to know all about this. I was really excited about this whole experience as in the morning I had asked the Universe if I could get a testimonial that my tones really help people. Well, I couldn’t get a better testimonial then this. I told them that I had a CD out with my toning and that I would give one to each. Donna said; do you have two? I will be going to a congress on Hypo therapy this weekend and would like to tell them about this.We all felt so blessed by this very special moment and knew that this had been very important for all of us. This would open many new doors and we are all very excited about the possibilities.
Every morning when I wake up, I say; please show me where I need to go, what I need to do, who I need to meet and let me be of service. This has brought me many unforgettable moments but what had happened today had truly been a God’s gift.
