The Transformational Power of Sadness

For anyone who has experienced loss, for anyone who has shied away from tears, for anyone who has ever been tempted to shield their heart from life’s ever shifting streams of beauty and pathos, this video will change how you look at sadness and grief.
In this moving segment from Linda Kohanov’s online course Connections: Life Wisdom from the Herd, you will discover how to tap the transformational power of these emotions. Linda shows how horses experience grief and are sometimes purposefully attracted to people who are on the verge of a good cry. As she learned from her equine companion Noche, it’s possible to help horses and other animals release the residue of trauma and the pain of transitions through embracing the wisdom of sadness. In telling the story of this sage-like mustang, Linda also shows how many horses experience “attachment disorder” early in life through standard equestrian practices. She explores parallels in human relationships that reveal how we can better navigate sadness and grief in our own lives. Noche helped Linda understand that “tears are power,” whether they arise through loss, or through being touched deeply and authentically by the mysteries of life, love and relationship. In taking Noche’s surprising wisdom to heart, you will learn to ride the healing waves of these challenging emotions, finding renewal, deep appreciation, and inspiration in their wake.
The author of five books on the healing potential of the human-equine bond, Linda is known worldwide for revealing how horses help people become more emotionally balanced, socially intelligent, and empowered in ways that lead to greater success and fulfillment in life and work.
You don’t need previous interest in or experience with horses to benefit from these powerful lessons. Yet if you do work with horses and other animals, you’ll gain unexpected, highly original tools and perspectives that forge stronger bonds and greater cooperation.
