Stand InBalance Equine Interactive Programs:
At Stand InBalance, we inspire ourselves and others to connect with their inner wisdom and step into balance and authenticity each day. About Stand InBalance Equine Interactive Programs:

Stand InBalance offers a powerful, effective, and cutting -edge model of personal and professional development that combines the intuitive qualities of the horse with

the client's desire to learn and grow. Our Equine Interactive Programs offer an experiential, short-term approach that goes beyond the traditional to help restore balance in people’s lives. When we Stand InBalance, we are able to face life’s challenges from a place of calm, inner strength. Horses, due to their unique animal nature, act as mirrors for our inner selves. They provide opportunities for us to develop greater self-awareness, increased self-confidence, and improved relationships – both personally and professionally. Stand InBalance is not about riding or horsemanship. It’s about partnership, communication, and authenticity; and having fun along the way. Working with our professional staff and the horses can help you discover a solution-focused approach to current problems, practice resilience, and live your inner strength, personal power, and integrity. Our programs can help you:

-Stop saying yes when you really mean no
-Have more fulfilling and happier relationships
-Enhance team synergy and effectiveness
-Do the things you’ve been wanting to do instead of just talking about them
-Be the leader you’ve always wanted to be
-Boost your results
-Trust yourself and others
-Let go of frustration and resentment
-Build your confidence
-Get playfulness and joy back in your life

All of our programs include an interactive, on-the-ground Equine Experience at the beautiful and private InBalance Ranch, located in the Santa Monica Mountains. No prior horse experience is necessary. To Learn more about our programs visit our website at: www.StandInBalance.com

Why Horses? Unlike humans horses are prey animals. As such, they are constantly aware of others and their surroundings. Instinctively, as prey animals, their survival depends on their ability to sense any underlying emotional current in their environment. They use their animal wisdom - keen sense of smell, hearing, body awareness, and vigilance - to keep them safe. They are fully present in the moment and require us to get out of our heads and be fully present. Horses are powerful messengers that mirror back their direct experience of humans. They are completely congruent and authentic with what they experience – in other words, what they show on the outside matches what they feel on the inside. They don’t deny or mask their feelings and our masks/personas don’t fool them. Like humans, horses are herd animals and rely on each other for safety and survival. Whether clients are engaged in individual or group activities, interacting with horses provides an opportunity to work on dynamics related to relationships, isolation, asking for help, and one’s role in the human herd. Areas that are commonly addressed include boundaries, assertiveness, trust, powerlessness, and frustration tolerance. All Stand InBalance professionals are EAGALA certified.

This month we're sharing 7 steps to ! Here's #7:
TAKE ACTION - Get out of your head & into the present! Suffering often exists only in the mind. In our thoughts, worries or stories that we tell ourselves. Although brilliant, our minds can sometimes get us so caught up in endless thoughts that we forget to notice the joy that naturally exists in the present moment. One surefire way to connect with the present is to TAKE ACTION. Rather than spending all of your time & energy in your brain, take some type of action instead. This will bring you back into the present & back into your joy.

This Month we're sharing 7 Steps to ! Here's #6:
CONNECT - There is no feeling quite so joyful as LOVE with another. Even kindness, connection with another, brings us in touch with the underlying presence and power of LOVE. We humans long for connection – connection with each other, connection with nature, connection with our Selves, with the present moment. Connection brings joy. Connect with someone or with something that you love & joy will rise. Or perhaps, even just recognizing that we are, in fact, ALL connected is enough to bring joy forward. Stop and take a moment to realize this truth. We are all in this together. We are all made up of the same stuff, the same molecules, same energy. We are one. There’s a peace in realizing this and a sense of instant connection to everything around you – a joyful harmony.

This Month we're sharing 7 Steps to ! Here's #5:
BE GRATEFUL. There is so much to be grateful for, yet sometimes we still forget! We think about that which is missing, what we wish were different. We focus our attention on everything that’s “wrong” or needs “fixing”. Where’s the joy in that? There isn’t any. Look to what is GOOD, look to what is right, look to what you love. Be so grateful for it! When we connect with gratitude, Joy cannot help but rise!
“We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing & appreciating what we do have.” – Frederick Keonig

"Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place." ― Rumi www.standinbalance.com/joy
