Nahshon Cook

Recently I had someone share a Facebook post with me from someone I had never heard of and was amazed at how profound the words were. I had to find out who this person was, so did some research, and ended up several days later recording this podcast with Nahshon Cook. Following is an excerpt from the post I read.“As you're going around, more and more of the shield is falling off you like shed skin. I can see it because your horse is calming down. You don’t need a crystal ball if you can read body language. And so, whatever you feel like you have to protect yourself from, leave it out of the saddle. Because then, your horse feels like she has to protect herself from you. Don’t bring the rest of world to this work, it’s not allowed. Wherever else in life that you’re brilliant, and you are, it doesn’t matter right now. Just. Ride. Your. Horse. Don’t think about riding your horse, ride your horse. Listen to the sound of her hooves touching the ground. Train your mind to quiet down. Is the footfall even? That’s what I want you to listen for. Is your body moving in synch with the sound of her steps? I don’t want you to force it. I want you to feel it. I want you to observe it. Give yourself to her. This is what I meant when I said, “You don’t train horses to change for people. You teach people how to change.” I don’t want her to be anything other than herself. But, what I do want is for you to be completely hers. “This interview with Nahshon just blew my mind, I’m sure you will have a similar reaction.Become a Patreon Member today!
