Metaphor construction

My first trial at metaphore building was someone who had looked after her mom for many years, and now feels she could’v done more. She loves horses …

A horse is a wonderful creature, she is tall and strong and carries so many burdens on her broad back, on her broad shoulders.

She never complains but she feels so much more lighter without those burdens.

Horses seem resigned to their fate, but I’m sure you now they would rather roam free over the hillsides without a care. That’s their original state. So free.
So happy. Wonderfully relaxed, comfortable and without a care in the world.

She loved the metaphor and really did relax during the session, which is saying quite a lot, in this case.

P.S. As a Homeopath the use of Animal/Plant/Mineral metaphors should come naturally! We know so much about these substances from the Proving Data...

"A major theme in Lac Equinum (mares milk) is a feeling of having one's wild spirit or nature beaten out - of being tamed into submission. This was expressed in the proving as the frustration resulting from a large, wild animal having been subjugated, domesticated, selectively bred, and, too often, mistreated by humans. Think for a moment of the battles in which horses were sacrificed, of rodeos and racetracks, slaughter houses, and overburdened pack horses". (Herrick, 1999)
