The present & the future

The line goes forward

Another generation is never too far away — on a horse or in the feed truck.

Nowadays, Lenn spends his time feeding and working with the cattle at the Ranch in Yale as well as his time with the horses since his Father's passing in '20. Along with that he's spent the past few years teaching his grandson Suede and his children — which would be Lenn's great-grandchildren. Usually there's a 3rd generation hanging around on a horse or in the feed truck. Never too far away from their "Boppa"!

We are all born with gifts, abilities, and talents; some are learned skills; all take discipline, time, education and practice. The gifts of Spirit are many, mine happens to be the gift of healing.

I am a spiritual healer, an instrument for Spirit, and a great friend to the four legged ones. I work with the chakra system, auras, and the emotional, physical, spiritual and energy body. When I do healing work, spiritual energy flows down into my chest, and then from my heart chakra it continues to flow out through my hand to wherever it is directed. If one could see this energy flow, it would be seen as pure white divine healing light.

"A great friend to the four legged ones."
The purpose of a healing is to reconnect broken energy patterns and remove blocked energy. The goal of a healing is to bring the body, mind and soul back into a state of balance and harmony. During a healing, sensations may be felt, ranging from warmth to hot heat, a possible coolness, or a tingling sensation.

Through These Your
Hands With Mine

by Karen Hamel‑Noble
Her book on the gift of healing — the chakra system, auras, and the energy body, in her own words and her own hands.

Each healing is unique, and it depends upon the openness of the soul as to how much healing each individual accepts or receives. The four legged ones, being open and sensitive, crave balance and harmony in their lives; these wonderful animals receive healings on every level; mentally, physically, and spiritually - consistently, and sometimes instantaneously. I love working especially with the animals, and feel so blessed to be a part of the many miraculous healings that take place.

I have a large clientele all over the United States and Canada, as well as clients from Panama and Ireland, all requesting metaphysical readings; metaphysical in my work meaning, not physically present. To set up a reading on an animal, a description would be needed such as: registered name, registration number, birth date, sex, color. With that information the energy of the animal is then present to do the reading. A reading will give you the information you need to do your part, and then a spiritual healing will be sent to the animal.

If you are a lover of the equine, count yourself blessed to have a good horseshoer and veterinarian. But first of all for the equine a good farrier is a must, it all begins with a good foundation.

I have done numerous lectures through out the United States and Canada. I call myself an Equine Parapsychologist and have been in the field of healing for over 25 years. The story of my walk into the healing is in a book I wrote for my clients called, Through These Your Hands with Mine. I was inspired to write this book in hopes that you would be lifted and enlightened. Perhaps you will find in yourself, the desire to fly with the eagles, knowing with God, we lift the limits of ordinary thought. I have been featured in numerous newspaper articles and many different magazines, as well as being on TV and radio. I was also featured in a book called The Top 100 Psychics in America by Paulette Cooper and in the book called The Directory of Northwest Intuitive Arts Practitioners. My credentials include a Metaphysical Practitioner’s diploma from the International Metaphysical Ministry University Seminary in Los Angeles California, and also a Bachelor of Metaphysical Science B. Msc. from the Parent Body of the University.

I offer my services to serious minded horses and animal owners who know their beloved pets and want to take a responsible part in the healing process of bringing them back into balance and harmony. We all have intuition; if we use it, we know when something is not quite right with our beloved pets, large and small.

Year of the Horse

A Poem by Karen Hamel-Noble
The horses are dancing to the call of the drum,
they are running, yes running to the midnight sun.
The colors, spectacular!, in the night as in day,
they're free, manes are flowing . . . Run as they may.
Some were war ponies that the great ones rode on,
showing their stations in life, the line was so long.
Some appeared to wear paint, dimmed with the time,
I tried to peer closer, but it was almost all gone.
The feelings evoked, stirred deep in my soul,
if I could capture a bit, and share with the whole.
I felt deep pain for the messages brought,
it is missed by so many, and totally lost.
The horses have died, so many in vain,
but so proudly they marched through my mind once again.
I now hear their hoof beats, feel their breath on my cheek,
as slowly again now, I drift back to sleep.
Here comes a proud one so beautiful, so bold,
he comes as buckskin, under the sun he looks gold.
He said, "Yes, I'm the Proud One, or so I've been told,
I've returned to the earth many times, many times . . .
not one could claim me, for I own my own soul.
I've taught many a lessons to the young and the old.
I only return now, just in your dreams,
and in visions to souls to share what life means.
I shall send many others, with messages they'll bring,
the song of their lives to you they shall sing.
I urge you to paint them in the hours of late night,
when you listen you'll hear them, they whisper so light.
Some may cause souls memories once again to return.
Some may release bindings of chains when your owned.
Some will touch joy to the heart of the young.
The lessons my dear will go on and on.
Now I shall leave you," said the buckskin of gold,
"remember the lessons and stories of old.
Tell the people, the two-leggeds, they have to be free,
to expand and to grow like the giant oak tree.
"Wait!" I called out as he started to fade,
"I might not do them justice, I'm just a little afraid. . ."
