Nervous System Regulation Comes Before Spiritual Care

nervous system regulation, Spiritual CareDecember 26, 202593Views 0Likes 0Comments

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, 2025120Views 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, 2025128Views 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, 202595Views 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, 202598Views 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, 2025109Views 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, 2025127Views 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, 2025115Views 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…

Personal Gnosis In Our Bodies

Body TheologyNovember 12, 2025118Views 0Likes 0Comments

I'm getting ready to defend my thesis on Friday and one of the core aspects of it is personal gnosis, commonly called unverified personal gnosis or UPG. Gnosis comes from a Greek noun which means knowledge, and if you search the definition the Oxford dictionary (as listed by Google) gives an even more detailed definition…

Episode 17: An Attempt To Define Spiritual Story

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)November 2, 2025112Views 0Likes 0Comments

What is a spiritual story? What the heck am I talking about? Spiritual story is something I've been thinking about a lot to try and define into something I can share with others who will understand that I'm not talking about religion, and I'm talking about something that intersects with all areas of our lives.…

Visible Spirituality

Horse WisdomOctober 25, 2025159Views 0Likes 0Comments

I spent some time with the senior mare this afternoon working on grooming her and replacing her regular fly mask for one that is in high vis orange. And as I was working with her, I thought about how this translates into horse wisdom, and how it is important to be visible. Here in the…

Why I Prefer The Term AutiSpiritual

Autispiritual, neurodivergentOctober 24, 2025182Views 1Like 0Comments

In an earlier podcast (Episode 4: What Does It Mean to be AutiSpiritual) I talk about the meaning of the term AutiSpiritual, which has its roots in such related terms as NeuroQueer and AutiGender. However, since publishing that blog post, I've been doing a lot of thinking about the term, it's inclusiveness, and just what…

Serving Yourself from the Spiritual Buffet Table (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)October 20, 2025134Views 0Likes 0Comments

I shamelessly have borrowed the phrase "spiritual buffet table" for this podcast because I don't know about you, but I love buffets. You can choose what you want depending on your mood, there are a lot of choices, and lets be honest, in the spiritual and religious realms, especially when it comes to our mental…

Horses and Spiritual Storytelling: Expectations

Horse WisdomOctober 18, 2025135Views 0Likes 0Comments

Horses are ingrained in our myths and legends. Whether it's Buchephalus, the horse ridden by Alexander the Great, the great racehorses Ruffian, Secretariat, Man o' War, and Seabiscuit, or even those from television like Mr. Ed or Trigger. Or Buck, the horse ridden by Ben Cartwright and after whom my mom named one of our…

Religion is Broken: Distant God vs. Embodied God (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)October 13, 2025120Views 0Likes 0Comments

Allow me to geek out just a bit with my religious scholar hat on, but I've been thinking about something for a while now and finally, thanks to reading a lot of Sallie McFague for my thesis, am able to do a show on it. And that is the concept of a distant god compared…

What is spiritual bypassing? How is it embedded in most modern religions and how can understanding it help you bring more accessibility and disability liberation into your religious practice? This episode looks at spiritual bypassing, what it is, how it affects disabled people, and why it needs to be unmasked if we're going to root…
