Episode 5: (Title) - Cat and Rain EpisodeWelcome back to Horses, Mountains, and Dogs. Today we have Rain Elizabeth Stickney as our guest in a LIVE, raw episode that was recorded on a Facebook LIVE launch event, along with special guests sharing comments as we go.  This is one of my favorite episodes yet and was designed to serve everyone in getting through the holidays with as much zen as possible, as Rain oozes serenity! Rain is "A life long meditator, an expressive artist, and a bodyworker, she has an integral approach using body, mind, heart, and spirit to gently guide clients and support community into their own natural wisdom.  Rain lives and works in Charlotte, Vermont with her life partner and their school aged son. She is an avid gardener, enjoys maintaining and making new trails on their 52 acres of conserved and forested land, as well as envisioning how in person sessions and retreats might happen again for her existing clients, fellow meditators, and perhaps even you... one day soon!" (as described on her website -- see link below:)Please join us as we talk about why we have chosen our respective paths, what lights us up, and finish our time together with a 15 minute meditation (starting around the 18 minute mark).  We share our love for horses, and how Rain learned to ride a horse as a child with her sister.  Lastly, find out why water, that moment of connection, and love are what bring magic to our conversation, even and especially in the midst of seasons of grief.  We also touch on forgiveness at the very deepest level, and a book called "The Cow in the Parking Lot."Takeaways:Even in the presence of grief, we can still give love, not just to others but most importantly to ourselves.Remember, emotions are in motion.You will also hear in this episode, which was part of my podcast launch party 12/22, about 5 amazing giveaways available to listeners.  All you have to do is write a review of this podcast, take a screenshot and send it to me before 12/30 - we will draw the winners before the end of the year!!You can connect with me through my website or on social media:www.catcaldwellmyers.com@catcaldwellmyersHorses, Mountains & Dogs Facebook PageHere is more information about Rain, from her website, and ways to connect with her - including her virtual Stillwaters Meditation Group:https://rainelizabeth.org/about-rain/https://rainelizabeth.org/stillwater-meditation/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/every-moment-is-sacred/id1653325273?i=1000589805207(and remember, the "Forgiveness Essay" is available on the 4th episode - trust me, you want to read this - it is a beautiful piece!)And in case you have not read it today, I LOVE YOU, and so does a horse, mountain and dog near you.  May you seek what you love and know to be true for you in love!
