Great description of what happens at barn!

Spend an hour watching a herd and something uncomfortable becomes obvious.
They are not slow.
We are frantic.
We have normalised a pace of life that is biologically unsustainable.
Instant replies. Same-day delivery. Tescos ๐๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฉ. The obsession with immediacey.
The constant low-level vibration of whatโs next?
Our nervous systems are stuck in a permanent high-frequency buzz.
Then you walk into the stable.
A horse does not live in โClock Timeโ (Chronos).
They live in โDeep Timeโ (Kairos).
They do not know it is Tuesday.
They do not know you are late.
They only know Now.
When you enter their space, you hit a wall of stillness.
And if we are honest, at first itโs annoying.
You want to rush the process. Hurry up and catch. Hurry up and groom. Hurry up and get the job done.
You arrive carrying the momentum of your entire workday.
But the horse refuses to hurry.

This is where the science of entrainment kicks in.
Physics tells us that when two oscillating systems meet, they eventually sync.
The stronger rhythm pulls the weaker one into line.
A horseโs heart rate is slower.
Their breathing is deeper.
Their electromagnetic field is larger.
They are the stronger rhythm.
They drag you out of the speed of wifi and drop you back into the speed of blood.
The speed of breath.
The speed of the earth turning ๐
You think you are waiting for them to react.
But really, they are waiting for you to arrive.
Because until you slow down, you are not truly there.
You are just a body vibrating with tomorrowโs to-do list.
By the time you leave the yard, you havenโt completed a task.
You have stepped out of the rat race and remembered you are a mammal. ๐ด
Slow down.
The email will still be there tomorrow.
This breath wonโt. ๐ซ
