Boundaries are an interesting topic… because we have verbal boundaries, then we have physical boundary-setting, and then we also have energetic boundaries.
If you say a verbal boundary to someone, like: “Do not speak to me like that.” But you are not holding the same conviction or reality of your self-worth in your energetic body… do you think they will listen and respond in the manner you wish?
So when we say to a friend, “You shouldn’t let them (partner, boss, child, etc) treat you like that!” Your friend may actually have no concept or ability to set and hold the appropriate boundary that then determines how people treat her.
Sometimes we actually choose not to set a boundary out of guilt, or people-pleasing, or we have exiled our anger long ago and so are not even aware that our body/soul is not okay with this treatment.
Those of you in the herd’s Apprenticeship program already know how much training the Singing Horse herd gives on how to set and hold healthy, calm boundaries. I’m not sure why this is SO difficult for us humans… but it’s at the root of almost every interpersonal issue we have.
Horses have a unique perspective on humans, and on sharing space and the earth with us humans – and Big Mama has some advice…

Jini Patel Thompson is a natural health writer and Lazer Tapping instructor. She began riding at age 2 in Kenya, and got her first horse at age 8 in Alberta, and so continues a life-long journey and love affair with these amazing creatures.
Ah… Audelina must have such a strong embodiment of self love and divine love… And she shows that they are related, the same really; she can give it to others, because she allows herself to receive it… Her demonstrations of boundary show it so well too, how her sense of self, her self love, is defined by herself, carried in her core, not by others. And… I think she really enjoys having that gigantic, gorgeous body ❤️ So lovely🦄
Oh, and I’ve been meaning to tell you, that in Finnish folktradition, ancient songs and poems in an oral and often female tradition, the horse is the one who takes away your sorrow.
Oh how beautiful – thank you so much for sharing that Sofia. I’m sure every single one of us has experienced that with our horses – crying into your horse’s mane and feeling cleansed.
And yes, she sure does LOVE her giant self, no question! Possibly as much as I do 😉
Our world is changing from one reality to another. I do not understand why in our collective self we must destroy other parts of ourselves. I am awe struck in the massive changes taking place. Audi moves another out of her space. I really don’t like being the person being moved. I liked where I was. She needs more space. Maybe it is more than her need though. It is the need of the collective. People are being forced to move out of what they knew and can take little of the things that were valuable just weeks ago. Many are being forced to move to death to rebirth. I watched another YouTube where this man had gone out for his run in the hills and a Cougar came out of the woods and was forcing him, pushing him down the path. When the man slowed down that cat charged and snarled and threatened with his/her massive clawed paws just enough to keep the man moving. Had he not moved, I’m sure the cat would have killed him. This was significant.
I don’t know the Spirit’s mind; but, if I have any smarts, which I think is questionable at times, I will accept even if I have no way to understand, trusting this movement. I think each of us individually and collectively are being pushed into the unknowable. But watch Seyone, is she disturbed in being moved? Both Audi and Seyone are telling us to stand in our vastness not only as individuals but as a whole organism. Stretch and trust where our feet are and pay attention and move when asked…..
Beautiful – love it Claudia! Also I think during times of Chaos – it is easier for the universe to move, guide, direct us if we are already in motion. There are no (few?) straight paths during times of chaos. So following your guidance is not such a simple, straightforward thing. You may need to zig-zag, double back, go around and THEN there you are. But you can’t just go straight there, because… CHAOS.
