True Relaxation
In True Relaxation, we will come to the horse on his terms.
Relaxation is to “cease to act”. When we wish to relax, we first have to be with ourselves in a state of ceasing to act, ceasing to expect, ceasing to want and ceasing to do. From there we will begin to be able to scan ourselves for tensions. Tensions are important and fine until they aren’t. To have tension is to have an action, an expectation, a want or a need to be doing. We release tensions by ceasing to cling to, physically, mentally and emotionally. Our ability to release tensions, not only has super benefits for us, but directly affects our critters.
Come experience your own relaxation, as the horse responds in kind, by showing subtle expressions of release of tensions and resulting relaxation. When we are relaxing, we are not ‘doing’, we are ceasing.

WHY DOES BEHAVIOR HAPPEN?
Generally speaking, we and our animals behave because, either there is something in it for us/them, or we/they want to avoid an icky consequence.
We/they are usually moving toward something desirable or away from something undesirable.
