You can expand your awareness by expanding your body awareness. Body awareness goes much beyond the simple feeling of the muscles and how they move the
The more Calmness we have, the more NA we can have. Calmness is creating space for NA. It is very important and very practical knowledge. When we want to open for more NA with our horse (when we want more energy from our horse), we will go deeper and deeper into our Calmness. It is exactly the
NA is a new concept in your Life. Understanding of NA will be blocked by your thinking and imaginations. When new information comes to us, our brain is trying to interpret it. Ego starts to “protect” us from the new things and it labels this information as “good” or “bad”. We always have to know if we agree
Energy is the word that means something. Energy creates movement, power, mass, etc. Energy allows things to happen.

With this Module’s exercises I would love to invite you to experience how to sustain the Energy.
