Trusting Relationships ONE WITH Horse,
Follow Closely By GaWani Pony Boy

• Life was lived in the understanding that the
  people were one with their environment. They were
  one with Mother Earth. They were one with the
  elements, and above all, one with Creator. So
  basic was this way of being in the world that
  certain words such as trust, integrity, belief,
  faith, and promise simply did not exist. The
  concepts behind them were meaningless. As every
  action reflected the Native American's total
  trust in the environment, a breech in that trust
  was regarded as unthinkable. Trust and integrity
  were not the exception but the rule.
• Unfortunately, the experience of being "one with"
  has been lost by the majority of people living in
  the twentieth century. Far from feeling at one
  with our environment, one with Mother Earth, or
  even one with Creator, we learn from a very young
  age to trust nothing that has not first earned
  our trust. Most animals, on the other hand, are
  born with the understanding to trust everything
  until there is a reason not to trust. Native
  Americans learned to trust in the "animal" way.
  Once they were given very good reasons not to
  trust, it was too late.
• In May of 1966, an expedition to the Galapagos
  Islands revealed evidence that animals trust
  humans until they were given a reason not to.
  Scientist were amazed at how the animals of the
  islands showed no intimidation to their presence.
  Birds landed on their shoulders, and the
  scientists could sunbathe alongside the sea
  lions. Any species, even those with young, could
  be approached without difficulty. It was not
  until the scientists began collecting, tagging
  and trapping the animals that their behavior
  changed dramatically. After the animals were
  given a reason not to trust, they began treating
  humans as predators rather than cohabitants.
• To understand what it means to be "one with,"
  reflect for a moment on an eagle soaring with the
  currents. The eagle does not glide on top of or
  below or alongside those currents, but is
  actually enveloped within them. Every shift in
  the wind affects the eagle and every beat of the
  eagle's wings moves the currents around him.
  Every move that one makes affects the other. The
  eagle becomes a small part of the winds. His
  movements reflect the movements of the ever
  shifting winds of which he has become a part. The
  soaring eagle knows what it means to be one with
  the wind.

hear them. This is called Language of the

Cesar Millan Dog WhispererAchieving Balance
Between People and Dogs

• Never strike a dog. Never let an animal push your
  buttons. Never, ever correct an animal out of
  anger or frustration. When you try to correct
  your dog out of anger, you are usually more out
  of control than your dog is. You are fulfilling
  your own needs, not the animals. The dog will
  sense your unstable energy and often escalate the
  unwanted behavior.
• Animals respond to ENERGY. An animal can tell if
  you are coming from your heart. They sense this
  about you.

Animals Need Your Help!

• Be a voice, let the animals know you are their
  partner. They need your love and care.
• If you see an animal being neglected or abused
  SPEAK OUT, in that moment you are responsible.
• If an animal is without water or shelter please
  contact your local Animal Control Officer.
  Animals need a lot of water when it is very hot.
