Energy Healing with Horses:

A Holistic Approach to Mental Well-Being

Horses have long been our companions in life and healing. From ancient to modern times, these majestic creatures have played a vital role in supporting physical, emotional, and mental health. 

When it comes to horses, we often use the term, connection. People generally use it to describe the emotional bond between a horse and human. Whether it be riding or training, there is an invisible bond between the human and horse. However, there is something else happening that is actually quite extraordinary, and much more involved than just a horse "hooking on" to follow us around.

There is a link that can be generated between horse and human, that's best described as an energetic connection. We can create energetic ties with them that feel as if we are bound by an invisible tether. Horses primary need is for safety. More than food, water, comfort, and companionship, safety is number one to a horse.

When we interact with them they want to know who we are. Can we be trusted? Will we hurt them? Where we fit in the natural pecking order? Consequently, they focus on us very intently. They tune into our energetic vibration to get a reading.

 

 

 

Everything is energy

"The energetic space you are holding emits a frequency based upon the emotion you choose to express in every moment. Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. This is not philosophy, this is physics." Albert Enstein

The ability to read, engage, and move energy within themselves and others comes second nature to a horse. We are all made up of energy. Our bodies are surrounded by this invisible field of energy that radiates out of us and dissipates gradually as it moves off into the space around us. It is well researched by the leading heart institutes, that the rhythm of our heartbeat corresponds directly to how we are feeling emotionally. Our heart beat pattern is more rhythmical when we are in a pleasant state of mind, and more erratic when we are stressed out. Go figure right?! A physically and emotionally healthy horse lives predominantly in a state of being relaxed and aware - similar to what we experience in meditation. When we become present and spend time in proximity to these horses, we experience a heightened sense of well-being.  This is because their electromagnetic field is stronger and more powerful than ours, and our body’s biorhythms synchronize with the horses. As the horse connects with us they move our energy into a more present state.

Both humans and horses emit electromagnetic energy from their heart which is measurable and plays a crucial role in our interactions. A horses heart is five times bigger than a human heart  and generates an electromagnetic field that is significantly larger. This expanded electromagnetic range can have a soothing effect on people, contributing therapeutic benefits of equine - assisted programs. It has been proven that working in close proximity to a horse can reduce our heart rate, it can reduce blood pressure, it can reduce the amount of cortisol (stress hormone) and it can also cause the feel - good endorphins to increase. All while helping us become mindful.

Most people struggle with being in their "heads" thinking, analyzing, and judging ourselves and our environment. Horses help us become present in our body and let go of all the chatter in our mind. 

Come join us on a mind/body experience with one of our beautiful horse ambassadors. We will guide you on a mindful journey helping to facilitate a safe space to let go.
