Grief In The Body

Body Theology13 hours ago8Views 0Likes 0Comments

Note: This will be the first of likely many blogs about dealing with the physical sensations of grief. This initial blog is an overview. It's a kind of tiredness that's experienced in body, mind, and soul. The weight of it presses onto your shoulders. Your body aches. Your heart aches. And it feels like it…

Somatic Work To Release Stress

Horse Wisdom, nervous system regulationJanuary 17, 202619Views 0Likes 0Comments

Horses instinctively know how to move stress and discomfort through their body. Of course this doesn't mean that we need to stop looking for discomfort or not treat them, but when they are in a stressful situation, such as dealing with a higher member of the herd pecking order, they will often use different movements…

Spiritual Care is Person-Centered Care

Body Theology, Spiritual CareJanuary 16, 202617Views 0Likes 0Comments

One of the main foundational points of body theology is that we are whole and complete as we are and that our bodies are divine. It's a way of thinking about the body and of the self that is rooted in radical acceptance and liberation theories. The medical field calls it person-centered care, though they…

What Do Systems of Spiritual Care Look Like?

Spiritual CareJanuary 9, 202631Views 0Likes 0Comments

Doing a web search on the term "systems of care" brings up articles and information related to health care. In fact, most of the articles are related to children's healthcare and mental health specifically. The focus is in services available within the community and given its position within the health care field, focuses on a…

Episode 19: Reiki, Energy Work, and Mental Health

UncategorizedJanuary 4, 202630Views 0Likes 0Comments

I'll be honest that I'm rather skeptical of a lot of psychology-related studies that are published. First off, there are those who believe psychology is pathology, when I believe that it connects to all aspects of our being, and a holistic approach is the best approach. But also, I've seen how studies can be drafted…

Horse Vices, Horse Stims

Horse WisdomJanuary 3, 202645Views 0Likes 0Comments

Horse vices are undesirable behavior in horses, and often are determined to be ways of coping with stress. In horses that are often stabled, cribbing (biting down on wood and sucking in air) and weaving are considered ways in which these bored or stressed horses cope with the stress. And studies have shown that horses…

Radical Body Acceptance

Body TheologyDecember 30, 202549Views 0Likes 0Comments

Potential CW: This post discusses body acceptance in light of gender and body dysphoria and includes discussions of body size in relation to myself. I want to preface this post by stating that this is simply my experience and my own thoughts. Each individual, especially those who are experiencing body or gender dysphoria, need to…

Incorporating Horse Wisdom into Holistic Spiritual Care

Horse WisdomDecember 27, 202533Views 0Likes 0Comments

Part of nurturing the human-animal bond is incorporating the wisdom that these creatures share with us into our systems of holistic spiritual care. Remembering that holistic spiritual care is care for the whole being, all aspects and on all levels, then we can begin to look around us at the natural world and see how…

Nervous System Regulation Comes Before Spiritual Care

For many people 2025 has been one wild and not so fun roller coaster of a year. Certainly it has been here. And as I review my year, given that hindsight is a lot clearer than foresight is, I really see what happened. You see in March there were tornadoes. A lot of them. Three…

Expanding Our Definition of Spiritual Care

Spiritual CareDecember 19, 202570Views 0Likes 0Comments

It's interesting how words become defined into narrow corridors of meaning when language is constantly evolving and shifting. Like a lot of things in our culture, spiritual has become cordoned off into it's own dichotomy of spiritual and secular or to use the religious studies phrasing, "sacred and profane". And yet, very few people actually…

How Animal Companions Help Us Connect To Our Bodies

Body TheologyDecember 16, 202575Views 0Likes 0Comments

Three times I day I bend at the waist, step through the gate, and enter the horse pasture because I don't want to open and deal with the heavy 16' long iron gate. (My kingdom for a walk-through gate!) My destination is each of the gates, and maybe depending on the time of day, the…

Episode 18: How Our Spiritual Story Impacts Mental Health

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)December 14, 202554Views 0Likes 0Comments

We tend to think of our mental health and physical health as separate. The same thing is true of our spiritual story and our mental health. Quite often modern therapy doesn't deal with our spiritual story, or does so in a purely religious sense. So in this episode I talk about how our spiritual story…

Why Horse Wisdom is Important

Horse WisdomDecember 13, 202556Views 0Likes 0Comments

There is wisdom to be found in the non-human world, and when we are looking to craft our own systems of spiritual care it is extremely helpful to look at those whose lives are not shaped by human-made systems and constructs, and whose lives can be harmed by those same systems and constructs. While many…

Body Awareness and Yoga Nidra

Body TheologyDecember 8, 202566Views 0Likes 0Comments

When our nervous system is unreglated, often we are disconnected from our body, even though we may experience physical symptoms. For those who are neurodivergent, something that often comes up is that we lack perioperception or the ability to notice where our body is in space. That's why, anecdotally, a lot of those of us…

Systems of Care According to Lived Experience

Horse WisdomDecember 6, 202579Views 0Likes 0Comments

We're about two weeks away from the winter solstice, but the horses' coats started getting longer back in October as the light began to quickly fade. Fortune always grows a coat like a teddy bear, long and fuzzy, perfect no doubt for those Iowa winters she spent before our move here about a dozen years…

The Horse’s Role in Spiritual Coaching

Horse WisdomNovember 22, 202561Views 0Likes 0Comments

I've long called my horses my physical and occupational therapy. Let's be honest, they are often my emotional/mental health therapy too because of how being around them can really calm and reset my nervous system. I get that. And there are many good professionals doing work with horses in their practices. That's just not something…
