The Windhorse (Tib. Lung-ta), a mythical Tibetan creature from pre-Buddhist times, combines the speed of the wind and the strength of the horse to carry prayers from earth to the heavens.
Wind Horse Choctaw Legend, a horse who had no enemies and left this world because of his love of a warrior and who sends a reminder to the Indian People of the friendship that he and the Indian People had shared.
Windhorse – life force, vitality, good fortune, and connection with unlimited energy of goodness. To have connection to Windhorse, you have the capacity to live and to develop the vital force of your life and spirit. As our life moves forward, we want it to move in ways that make us happy, content and in balance with ourselves and with our world. I’ve chosen Windhorse as the symbol of my practice because of its power to give us a positive life force in the face of adversity. The power to be a warrior, to feel at home in our minds and bodies and to bring the goodness, happiness and contentment that is our birth right forward in our life journey.
At Silver Fiddle Ranch, the Windhorse comes to us through nature and through finding connection with the world around us. The programs offered encourage you to expand your awareness towards your own personal healing process, emotionally, physically, relationally and spiritually. Our programs will allow you to open your deeper consciousness and awaken yourself to your mind and heart.
The horses are our guides in this journey. They help us learn how to find our mental balance and our felt selves. They help us build authenticity within ourselves and within our community. The awakening of our deeper consciousness through our time with our horse guides allows us to create relationships based on trust and responsiveness. This allows the possibility to transform our fears into respect, and respect into more compassionate responses. Connecting with the horses spirit allows for transformation and reconnection to intuition and feelings, through learning to trust, learning to lead, and learning to communicate authentically.
The natural world that surrounds us at Silver Fiddle Ranch provides an opportunity for you to reconnect with the wonders and spirit of nature. Through meditation and contemplative nature walks, you can find an open awareness that expands to include not only your own internal space but also the entire world around you. The Windhorse programs include artistic expression through drawing, painting, music and movement, all within the embrace of nature’s habitat; all to encourage you to inhabit your body, your mind and your spirit.
The Silver Fiddle Ranch Windhorse program respects and honors where you are in your healing journey and hopes to facilitate the evolution of this process. The horse guides and the natural environment that you will explore while attending our programs are integral to this process.
Everyone needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.
