Reclaim Your Stolen Attention: The Secret to a Deeper Bond with Your Horse & Dog


Listen Later

Your attention is priceless — and often stolen by constant distractions. Learn how Feldenkrais® and Debono Moves help you reclaim focus, deepen your bond, and improve movement for both you and your horse or dog. 

Your horse or dog doesn’t care about fancy equipment or your bank balance. What they crave most is your attention — a resource constantly pulled away by modern distractions, yet it’s the foundation of trust, connection, and better movement. In this episode of Easier Movement, Happier Life, Mary shares how to reclaim it. 

Drawing on insights from Cal Newport and decades of teaching Feldenkrais® and Debono Moves, Mary offers practical steps to strengthen your “attention muscle.” You’ll discover subtle awareness practices, mindful hands-on work, and daily habits that enrich both your life and your animal’s comfort. Reclaiming your attention isn’t just good for your horse or dog — it’s life-changing for you, too.
