Herding: Real Life Energy Work

Recently Lilly and I went to a herding trial to watch a few runs. Have you ever seen a herding trial? It’s a dance of human, dog, and sheep. And guess what, it’s all about energy! The human has to be aware of and able to read the interplay of energies between herself and the dog, the dog and the sheep, and herself and the sheep. It’s quite complex. It’s a variation on the theme of the illusion of separation. When it looks easy, it’s because the human and the dog have such an energetic connection that they are able to move as one, and thus move the sheep with ease. Just another example of our 4-leggeds showing us the way to be—all are one. Lilly and I hope to be moving some sheep soon! #lovemyherdingdogs
