Greetings!
I don't know about where you live, but if it is like here... the weather seems to be very confused! We had snow two weeks ago and these last few days we have seen temperatures in the 80's. The hair is just flying off the horses from their winter coats!
We are looking forward to a very special time this weekend sharing a workshop that focuses on alignment with Getting in Sync with Who-We-Really -Are! We have two spaces left so we are offering an opportunity two $250
scholarships if you can make the last minute plans!
(email me right away at Barbara@Eponaridge.com)
You may have noticed a thread in our themes of Listening Within, Finding Alignment, Getting in Sync... It is all about living a life that brings you joy and makes your heart sing!
This fall we will be stepping it up to 'Raising our Vibration through the Way of the Horse', and it promises to be a deeply spiritual journey with the horses as our guide.
This week's article is all about the life we are living and where we have 'set the bar'...
I am deeply appreciative that you are joining me in this wonderful journey! Please remember to send this on to anyone you feel might enjoy and benefit from our sacred work with the horses.
Thank you so much for your support. As always, I love hearing from you!
With Warmest Regards,
Barbara Alexander

Reiki Certification:
The Heart of Healing Workshop
May 20-23, 2010 A Four Day Retreat
Reiki
is a powerful healing process
that is more about a way of Being than it is about doing... True
healing comes from a clear intention, uncluttered by resistance.
For
a student to master the true Sacred Art of Reiki, takes a unique
kind of dedication: one where the healer/teacher learns to open to their
Universal Connection and allow the loving, Reiki energy to come
streaming through them as a clear channel, without attachment to the
outcome.
This workshop is not just about the methodology and
certification. It
offers a way of Being that includes the Wisdom of the Horse as you
walk the path of the Healer.
It
is a lifetime of expansion.

'Thank
you so much for providing a space for us to "be" Reiki, because
learning to "do" Reiki is just a small part of the process.' 
'I
was in the Reiki Level 1 workshop and what a profound experience it
was. I came just to learn Reiki, but I gained so much more.
I
experienced many amazing shifts within and around me during this
workshop.
Incorporating reflection with the horses, time for
introspection, the labyrinth, the video and too many other tools &
experiences to mention brought this learning to a deep, spiritual
level... which I assume you could not get in one of those quick weekend
workshops.
How wonderful it is to be able to share this gift
with myself, family, animals & nature and to live in harmony with my
Reiki intention ...'

Feature Article:
How High Have You Set Your Bar?
Life can be a conscious choice...
"Setting the bar" is a phrase that refers to the goal we are trying to achieve.
Years ago, I learned something I didn't really allow myself to admit - or even tell others about - until now.
It defied what I had been told about working hard to be smart and striving to get ahead.
Ultimately it became a lesson in how I was "setting the bar", and not selling myself short...
Rising to the Top
In my first job, I absentmindedly 'set my bar' at the top level that management had set. I aligned myself with those that were reaching the goal.
Once I attended a national conference, I quickly found that there were several that were doing multiple times what I had done, going far beyond the standard goals and 'going where no man (or woman) had gone before'!
Raising the Bar
And then I did something you won't find in any positive mental attitude books.
No, I didn't put my written goals all over my home or in my car. I didn't meditate on success and do just 1% more every day. I just set my intention for a new level of expectation.
I spent each day not unlike the year before, but the results were drastically changing. My expectation was the only conscious thing I did to shift my experience. The rest came from the inspiration that aligned with that intention.
To my surprise, I had actually shifted my experience and by the end of the year, I had made it to the levels of the top people in the company.
Could it really be that simple?
Are our lives truly affected by our intention and where each of us sets our bar?
If I told anyone about this when I was that young, I would have crumbled at the criticism! So many people argue to stay in the status quo and projected limitations.
Where does it say that life is meant to be hard?
A Visit with My Friend
I recently visited a friend and we spent the afternoon relaxing in her beautiful and magical garden. It was one of those special moments when you stop what you are doing and just enjoy the fresh breeze and warm spring air.
Baby flowers were just beginning to bloom and the flower beds had all been cleaned to allow the sun to nurture the budding plants.
She talked to me about how utterly content she was looking back on her life, how she had grown up with a loving family who played games and had fun together. She spoke of her wonderful children and the partners in her life that were so very special and loving to her.
She had experienced grief, sadness, joys and laughter like most of us, but something was different.
Creating a Magical Garden, Inside and Out
I saw the loving glow of a blessed life in her eyes and felt such a sense of peace and appreciation for all that she had shared with me that day.
It occurred to me that long ago, possibly even before she was born, she had set her bar for a life well lived... and once again I wondered if it could be that simple. Could all of life, even our personal life be affected by our intentions?
So I ask you, where have you set your personal bar?
If you could reset your personal bar, how high would you set it now?
If you could go beyond your current standard, to a new frontier where no man or woman had gone before, what would that be?
I am resetting mine again as I am writing this to you!
Life is never dull when you feel for inspiration!
