Moving Meditations

by Janice Terra

We are all wounded children.  All of us. We seem to reside in a state of subconscious desperation, wanting to recapture the bliss and the joy, the oneness with God and the Universe, that we experienced in the space before we were born.  We have a yearning, an empty feeling within us, that we have carried within us for most of our life.

We have tried desperately to fill this void in many different ways. Surely if we just found "Mr. Right" our life would be perfect, and he would fill the hole in our soul.  Or perhaps if we just got that raise or promotion that we justly deserved, then we would feel complete.  Our emptiness would be no more. 

If nothing else works, perhaps the hole can be filled with food!  Yes! That will work!The inner-dialogue may sound something like this:  "When I am eating I feel much more connected to myself. I feel at peace.  One with myself and the Universe.  But wait! Even though I just ate, I feel hungry again! I can't bear this feeling! I feel isolated and alone. Separate from the entire world, including God. If I just eat (drink alcohol, find a soul mate, make more money, do drugs...), then I can fill up this hole inside of me, and once again I will be at peace." We are all children of illusion.

We have had moments of joy and peace laced throughout our lives, yet for most this is not the universal thread of our existence. We feel the void and want to fill it. That void is our longing to reconnect with God. We long to capture that feeling of being complete. The feeling that we are one with God and all of creation: totally supported, totally protected, in total harmony, and surrounded by love. This is what we experienced before we were born. This we can experience again.

God, being the benevolent and loving God that He is, did not abandon His children on this earth without giving us vehicles with which to recapture those feelings of bliss and oneness. One of those vehicles is meditation. God spoke, and the horse volunteered to be another of the vehicles by which mankind could reunite heaven and earth. Combining two produces a most powerful meditation which returns us to a state of bliss.

When we meditate on horseback, we are additionally receiving the gift of learning spiritual principles experientially. When you do your "moving meditation", you totally relax and turn yourself over to a power greater than yourself. You can experience floating in that trust. You can embrace the freedom that greets you when you no longer feel the need to control. Ahhh-bliss! A bliss much like what you experienced before you were born, when you were as close to the heartbeat of God as you have ever been. The movement of the horse helps to remind your soul and your body of their divine heritage of universal love and oneness with god. You feel totally safe. Totally protected. Totally at peace with yourself and the entire universe. What a gift. What a grand, glorious gift from God.

There is an ancient tombstone in France which is enshrouded in some kind of special mystery. On the tombstone, the soul is referred to as the "horse of God". And so it is.
