Hippocrene Spring

Hippocrene Spring

Where Horses Inspire Us to Discover Our True Nature 

Throughout history horses have been associated with awakening humans to their true potential. Greek Mythology informs us that when the winged horse Pegasus struck the ground on Mount Helicon he released the waters known as Hippocrene Spring. This became a sacred place of reflection, inspiration, and creativity. Author, Angeles Arrien, writes that those who made the pilgrimage to Hippocrene Spring where they drank from the Source of Inspiration were endowed with extraordinary insight, heightened creativity, intellectual curiousity, inspiration, and joyful song. 

At Hippocrene Spring, horses inspire us and gently guide us to awaken our true Self. Only when we understand our true nature are we are able to live joyfully and more fully.  

Hippocrene Spring and the horses play an integral role in enabling us to discover our true nature. For when we gaze into a beautiful body of still waters we can see a reflection of our external Selves. But when we still our bodies and quiet our minds in the presence of horses they reveal a perfect reflection of our internal Selves. These magestic creatures have the innate ability to perceive and communicate that which is beneath the surface but still within each of us.

Horses have an uncanny ability to reflect a person's internal emotional state and reflect that back to them. Like the waters brought forth by Pegasus at Hippocrene Spring which became a source of inspiration, horses are wonderful conduits for inspiration and self reflection.

Our interactions with horses help us reestablish our connection  to our Self. Horses inspire us and awaken us to our potential so that we may experience ourselves, our relationships, and life more fully.
