Horsemanship and Mindful Presence – Documentary Film

imagesThose of us that study or teach meditation or yoga may have a bias toward some eastern religion or methodology that flows from another culture.  I don’t fit that mold at all and have no doubt that the attentive presence sought in the arts of meditation, yoga, and other practice are is a basic element of being human.  Those modes of learning can be very helpful though we all learn in our unique way.  We are blessed by artists, musicians, ministers, teachers, friends, and others who share the realm of attentive presence (I refer to this a mindfulness, as you know).

A beautiful portrayal of a man who found his way to presence via horsemanship and shares it as a powerful and compassionate teacher is Buck Brannaman.  I can’t tell you how powerfully his documentary Buck portrays the heart of mindfulness.  You’ll have to see the award winning documentary.  I believe it is still on Netflix.  Here is a link to the trailer on YouTube:
