This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of letting go old thought patterns (today and every day).
Comment from Marie: We are creatures pf habit, and unfortunately one of our habits is negative thinking patterns. We need to let those go. Sweep them out of our head and replace them with thoughts that are more in keeping with our true self.
InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
December 3, 2024
The focus for today is:
It is possible to live a healthier life
not driven by old thought patterns.
Today's inspiration was written by Suzanne E. Court:
The soul is what we were born with and what we will die with. It is the essence of our being, but we can become so caught up in the busy material world that we lose this awareness. Without access to that deeper part of ourselves we experience niggling feelings of being incomplete and dissatisfied with ourselves. But we don’t need to live like that.
If we are looking to reclaim the direct experience of that which underlies all of life; if we are looking to reclaim our soul identity (the unconditioned true self), we can ask a mammal such as a horse to show the way.
Horses model this for us in the way they accept what is. They show us that it is possible to live a healthier life not driven by old thought patterns.

RELATED BOOK: Soul Connection with Horses
Soul Connection with Horses: Healing the Mind and Awakening the Spirit through Equine Assisted Practices
by Suzanne E. Court.
Soul Connection with Horses introduces concepts of awakening and spaciousness as understood in many spiritual traditions and demonstrates that horses effectively model awakening for humans. Through this approach, horses help re-establish natural bonds and intuitive ways of knowing that have become obscured by conditioned thought and ineffective individual narratives.
Horses show us that we can trust our intuition and learn how to live from the soul while making meaningful connection with ourselves, other people, animals and the natural environment. By considering how horses experience the world through their senses, how they process emotion and how they express their needs, we see that they live through the same social, psychological and spiritual paradigms as humans. This book invites us to walk in the hooves of the horse, to experience the horses’ worldview and to access our own soulful wisdom.
