24.01.2022 With many of you that have done either an individual or group session with me, I have shared various meditations or practices from the Kundalini Yoga Tradition (as most of you know my other way of being of service in the world at this time is a Kundalini Yoga Teacher). Some of my older child/teen clients may like to participate as well, as they have been learning so many of the mantras and meditations during their sessions with the horses. I am doing an online pop-up class a...t 7.30pm tonight and the class I have chosen is designed to give us a little more space around our being. Cleansing and Creating your Circle and Boundaries is the class title - just creating a little more distance between ourselves and the outer world. These practices have been my medicine throughout the intensity of this time and I look forward to sharing this one with you. See you on the mat at 7.30pm if you are inclined. You will find it via fb page @kundaliniyogawithrachael as a new post using Fb live. The cost is $10 via Paypal to [email protected] Maybe see you on the mat later

23.01.2022 Sometimes you just gotta inhale horse and share a moment. #feelthelove #iseeyourbeauty #love

22.01.2022 Prime time Saturday slot just became available tomorrow if you fancy some quality time out with the herd There will be a fire, hot chai, 3 horses, a dog and me (Rachael). DM to book

22.01.2022 This competition is open until the 10th of July!! Who will be the lucky 3 winners? You or your besties? See below for details.

22.01.2022 If you would like to do some Kundalini Yoga with me, I have recorded a 30 minute morning practice to help set you up for your day. It is time for so much self-care right now, to allow the stresses and intensities of this time to move through our bodies. See below for the details. Much love Rachael.

21.01.2022 I have so many special photos of my child clients having beautiful experiences with the herd. However, those images are for them and their families. These beautiful words arrived by text on the weekend and I have permission to share as no names are present. This is from a young girl I have not seen for about 4 months. This way of turning up and being of service in the world lights me up. My heart is full receiving these words. The highlight for me last week was when a lov...ely regular client was in deep connection with a particular horse and I could tell significant and intense energy work was happening. Another herd member from the opposite side of the paddock walked over and briefly nuzzled the client on the cheek. She took it as confirmation of a job well done. She was being brave, she was releasing old and outdated blocks and she was rewarded with a horse kiss on her cheek - DIVINE #stayelevated #bethelight #birthright #horsemagic #healingwithhorses #natureheals #thrive #iseeyou #iamenough #iamheretothrive #iam #macedonranges #Woodend #thistowillpass #newapproach #newearth

21.01.2022 Here is the full video hopefully as my Insta one cut off after 1 min. Need to get with the whole igtv program some rainy day. I wanted to share the whole video as the ending is so cool

21.01.2022 For regional friends the Meditation, Mindfulness and Chai session is proceeding this Sunday 1pm-3pm. How's your nervous system travelling? Need a reset? Is your heart feeling heavy or congested? Are you struggling to hold the light amongst the negativity? This is always a beautiful gathering to experience the healing power of horses and even more potent at this time with such intensity around us. Please book via the events section on this page. To our Melbourne friends in lo...ckdown, we will hold you in our hearts until we can all connect soon. We are sending so much love your way EVERY DAY. WE are ONE and this is only a very temporary division between us all. The division this pandemic is trying to create between a mentality of us & them will not work if we all hold each other on planet earth in our hearts. There is no separation. It is our discernment to keep fear at bay and our hearts open. Image courtesy of the beautiful book The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse by Charlie Mackesy. A must read for everyone about this thing called LIFE I brought a copy to share with clients after someone leant me a copy. So I can borrow to you if you would like

19.01.2022 Vitality in Nature one day retreat in Woodend. Such a beautiful opportunity to collaborate with Kiran Jot from Sadhana Studios in St Kilda.

14.01.2022 This photo was just shared by The Goddess and Horse. Words not needed, it took my breath away. She captured the essence of what horses gift me/us so beautifully. Thank you again Donna Todd Photography

14.01.2022 Come and join us for our first Meditation, Mindfulness & Chai on a SUNDAY, they have previously always been held on Saturdays. Tomorrow we will meet at 1pm for 2 hours. The weather looks as magic as it has been today. This month is a session for regional residents only. Melbourne friends I promise I will add more dates in if needed once this all passes. We will of course social distance out in the paddock and by the campfire ...

14.01.2022 Glorious weather means the massage table is back out in the paddock. It is quite divine under the shade of the trees with the horses grazing around and whilst I am massaging your feet (reflexology). Amazing for anxiety, depression or treating the effects of stress in your body.... The herd and I are ready and waiting to soothe any nervous systems that 2020 has blown a fuse on. #macedonranges #daylesford #healingwithhorses #healing #anxietyrelief #stressrelief #mentalhealth #countryair #reset #timeout

13.01.2022 We are squeezing in another Vitality in Nature One Day Retreat in Woodend before the cooler weather comes. Our first one last month was such a beautiful offering and we are excited for this next one on 18th April. This arrived in my inbox a couple of days after the retreat from one of our participants. "I really want to thank you and Kiran for the Vitality in Nature retreat on Saturday. I knew it would be wonderful, and it was way more than I could have expected. I came wit...h a heavy and tired heart, and left with a deep and renewed connection to myself, and my role in the world. We were met where we were at, held and acknowledged by you both, each other and your magnificent horses. The yoga was perfect to move some of those heavy emotions and energy as well as ground me. The lunch together was divine fellowship and then the horses on top of all that - I have no words! I feel truly blessed to have been part of the day, and am deeply grateful.

12.01.2022 Our new herd member Willy who we hang out with for half of the week at our other part time home

11.01.2022 One of my favourite passages to share (or read) when it all gets too much. The full passage (this a very short version) is the most beautiful gift to read to someone when they are in encompassed in the dark abyss. "If you are in a Dark Night of the Soul right now: So, if you, my friend, are mid-spiral right now, on your way down or all the way down, know that the dark place you are in where it seems God Herself has forsaken you, I have been there. I may be there again. And I... am listening. "Even if I never get to meet you, I will meet you here, because the dark is a place where I made my home and I found my home. I can go there with you now anytime. I can sit with you, and you will feel the metronome of my heart beating with yours. We can burn together. I know how to burn with you, yet not go down in flames. I am educated in the ways of the dark. I made it out alive, and you will too. And not just alive, but alive. Rebirthed. The parts of you dying in there, you don't need them anymore. Not where you're going. "If you're there right now, I know you can barely hear me. I know the sound is muffled, and anything that tastes remotely of platitude you will spit out at once. But hear this: where you are is not a mistake. You are in the forge. The goddess of holy blacksmithery knows what the hell she is doing. "I myself have no map or script or blueprint to give to you, but you will still make your way through. But don't worry about that now. It might sound like bullshit. Just put one foot in front of the other. Breathe in, and breathe out, again and again. Don't even try to imagine the sacred yet. I will not try to convince you that there's any sacred left in your life. Just give me your hand and take one more step with me, and then one more. I know that where we are going is worth all of it. But you have to believe me. All you have to do is trust and all will reveal.

11.01.2022 Working with the horses at liberty allows them to turn up as they want to. How beautiful is the energy of this image. Thank you to my client for allowing me to share this pic. It is hard to articulate what happens in these sessions but magic is in the air ... #healingjourney #healing #horsesofinstagram #selfcare #bethebestversionofyourself #chooselove #equinetherapy #natureheals #meditation #mindfulness

11.01.2022 I am deeply disturbed by a pattern that is occurring with my young clients. A large part of my client base is children on various spectrums. The majority of these children are high functioning, they attend schools and are actively part of their families and communities. I see parents so worried about the behaviours of their child/children and volatility is one of the main concerns. Over the last year of my work, this seems to have escalated to very young children (under 1...Continue reading

10.01.2022 To celebrate the loosening of restrictions and being able to work in groups again I am giving away one ticket a month to the Meditation, Mindfulness and Chai sessions. A total of 3 tickets will be gifted and the winners notified on the 10th July, To enter: If you share this post your name goes in the draw as well as the person or people you tag. There is a session on the last Sunday of each month and the dates are set until September. If you know of some...one who would like some time out, would like to experience the healing power of horses or who would love to know you are thinking of them, please share. Good luck!! How these sessions run: Once a month I will be offering group sessions in mindfulness and meditation accompanied by a lovely home-made hot chai. We will sit by the campfire, ground our energy, tune into our bodies and immerse ourselves in horse wisdom, to help us navigate our modern lives. You will love these sessions if you are curious about how healing with horses works. Perhaps you have been looking for new tools or resources to support yourself in your day to day life. Maybe just the idea of being out in nature in the presence of these magnificent sentient beings is attractive to you. What a beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon - bring a friend, perhaps a teen or come alone and meet some like-minded people. If you think anyone in your network may be interested I would love you to share this event. If the weather is cold, rug up.

09.01.2022 This is Kiran Jot, who will be running the Kundalini component of our Vitality retreat next Saturday in Woodend. Morning of Kundalini Yoga in the garden and the afternoon with the herd to experience the healing power of horses.

08.01.2022 Need a new perspective on your life? Have you experienced the healing power of horses? Horse wisdom is timeless, subtle and amazingly powerful for us overstimulated humans. Does your nervous system need some regulating?... Private sessions available and group ones commencing again from July. #macedonranges #woodend #healing #horsemedicine #natureheals #heartmedicine #bethebestversionofyourself

08.01.2022 Help please? I am writing an article to submit to the organisation Animal Therapies Ltd. They are creating an e-magazine which will be available for download on their website and they also hope to distribute it to doctors and other allied health professionals with the aim of advancing the understanding, acceptance and accessibility of animal-assisted services for those in need. The organisation has an Australia wide directory of how people can get access healing modalities wh...ich include animals. BRILLIANT!! https://animaltherapies.org.au/ To add to my article I would love 2 or 3 first hand accounts of how this therapeutic approached worked for you, your child or your loved one? The ongoing benefits? The breakthroughs? The gold nuggets you/they took away? I don't want it to sound like a testimonial, more like a journal entry of your experience. I will submit my article next Monday so anything before then on email or messenger would be wonderful. Can be as long as you want or as short as a paragraph. So many people do not know to consider this type of therapeutic and healing approach to assist with what is causing them disturbance in their life. So the more exposure to the mainstream community we have as a profession and as well to the decision makers in healthcare the better outcomes for all. I will let you know if my article is chosen for publication. Much love Rachael

08.01.2022 Vitality in Nature retreat this Saturday and the weather is a perfect 21 degrees - woohoo!!

06.01.2022 This Saturday Im teaching at a retreat in Woodend. kundalini yoga in the morning, lunch, then horse therapy. Lots of meditating, connecting with community and nature, food, fun, relaxation, and healing with the horses so excited. Happy heart xxx

06.01.2022 Yay, let us gather together again! The next meditation, mindfulness and chai is on Sunday 22nd November 1pm -3pm. That will be the last one for 2020. Here are the dates for the first quarter of 2021. You can secure your spot here for any upcoming session - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/rachael-gibson-owner-heart-... I am so looking forward to gather as a group again.

05.01.2022 A great article on the stress we can create for our horses (or animals) or choose to help them release it. I love Jenny Pearce's work as she was the gateway for me learning to be with horses that led me towards the work I do. Her programs are ace

05.01.2022 I'm doing a course at the moment and this week we need to meditate outside for 11minutes every day. My horse friends think this is a very good idea

04.01.2022 For parents of youngish children I thought you may be interested in this resource. One of my clients has been diving into this workbook and approach - it sounds fantastic. If you are looking for a resource to help navigate your child's emotional health, you may also enjoy it. The author is based in Geelong, so is reasonably local. She talks a lot about the soul of the child and as parents how we need to give the child space to be who they are. https://www.childosophy.com/

03.01.2022 Horses consistently light people up and help connect them back to themselves. LOVE is their norm and they show us the way back into our own hearts. Imagery from the beautiful book The boy, the Mole, the Fox and the horse by Charlie Mackesy.... Enjoy your weekend #loveheals #selflove #loveyourself #earthangels #healingwithhorses #simplepleasures #iseeyou #macedonranges #woodend

02.01.2022 Expressions of interest. I have had an idea drop in over the last few days and it keeps persisting so I am taking some action. I have felt so concerned for new mothers at this time of isolation when they are already quite isolated from their previous lives and vulnerability is profound. Add into this the massive added complication of limiting their networks even further. So coming out on the other side of lockdown, I feel this offering could assist on so many levels.... I am thinking of running a 6 week course for mums and bubs to offer assistance at one of life's most transformative and challenging times. We would use aspects of Kundalini yoga, meditation & mindfulness along with my 10-year history as a doula and bathe ourselves within the healing power of horses. The horses would be in a yard next to us giving us some separation with the babies in arms and prams away from the horses. There will be an opportunity during each session for the mums to spend time with the horses. Mothers of toddlers are most welcome but it is not appropriate to bring them along. Pregnant mums to be would also gain so much from this I am sure, as would any mother needing some new skills to navigate their lives. My passion is resourcing people well, so there would be so many resources shared to assist women to thrive at this time of transformation and connect in with their personal power. I am thinking Thursday afternoons 1pm-3pm commencing Thursday 16th July. We will have a fire and warm chai and of course, it would be weather dependent. The cost for the 6-week course is $300. Please share your thoughts, send it to anyone it could be relevant for and we will see if there is a need for such an offering. Much love Rachael

02.01.2022 Your breath tells me so much. I feel safe with you. You know what I am feeling, even those parts that I find hard to love in myself. I am enough, I really am and you make me understand this in myself. You help me uncover the parts of myself that is my true essence. For that, all of us, thank you for your gifts....

02.01.2022 First online POP UP Kundalini Yoga Class - On Sunday morning (tomorrow) I will be offering my first Facebook live class at 9.30am. The fb page is Kundalini Yoga with Rachael. It will be a class directed towards cleansing the lymph glands which as we know are the guardians of health. Set yourself up at home, you may like to invite your kids or other family members to join in. Or perhaps you are able to carve an hour for yourself. ... As both my equine business and yoga classes have paused, I am asking for a contribution of what feels right for you, maybe $5-$10. However, if you have lost income, please please come along for free. Also, if you are struggling mentally and you are not in a positive headspace at this time, now is the perfect time to practice, to just let your body move and get out of your head. Let the practice support you in whatever way it turns up for you. Full permission as always to just come and cry on your mat if that is what you need to do right now. Just allow yourself to feel the effects and magic that practicing Kundalini Yoga can bring. At this time of immense challenge, coming to practice is a gift we can give ourselves. A donation can be paid into my paypal account:[email protected] or msg me for my bank details. Or if anyone has any better suggestions regarding online payments I would love to hear. See you on the online mat soon!

01.01.2022 If you know of anyone needing help and assistance with regulating their nervous system? Send them our way, the herd and I are ready and waiting One last spot just opened up 3pm Saturday if anyone is inclined
