Horse Healing
What makes Horse Healing so special?
Chantal has a long held love for animals, especially horses. When they bought the Maunga Valley farm her lifelong dream of owning horses became a reality. Being a horse lover and practitioner of mindfulness meditation (she is also an author on this topic) it was only a matter of time before the two loves blended and she started practicing meditation together with her four horses. Inspired by the powerful experiences of healing, peace and heightened awareness this has brought to her personally, it is now time to share this with others.
A horse healing session combines Flinchlock release treatment methods, mindfulness meditation and intuitive energy work guided by the horses.
Nature and animals have so much to give and when we orient ourselves to them properly we can experience a peace and healing that is profound. Horses can play a special and active role in the healing process. The dynamics behind this are not fully understood but some theorize it has something to do with the size of their heart.
"....the heart is the most powerful generator of electromagnetic energy in the human body, producing the largest rhythmic electromagnetic field of any of the body's organs. The heart's electric field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain. This field, measured in the form of electrocardiogram (ECG) can be detected anywhere on the surface of the body. Furthermore, the magneticfield produced by the heart is 5,000 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain and can be detected a number of feet away from the body in all directions."
The electromagnetic field of the horse's heart is 5 times greater than ours, making their sensitivity to energies around them more acute, thus picking up the energy we are putting out. For example, our emotions carry different energies. The horses will feel these energies and respond to them showing us what we are feeling, even when we are unaware of this ourselves.
Interestingly the horse's heart beats three times slower than ours. When our heart and body connect to this energy we feel relief, a sense of well-being and our bodies begin to heal inviting us to slow down and experience what's going on inside of us. - Kindered Spirits
They are able to assist on many levels and layers in deep healing, fine tuning, removing blockages and negative energies. And naturally they help regulate our nervous systems just by BEING with them.
One of the greatest gifts that I have found in working with horses, is that they are able to pierce through the busyness of one's mind and ego, and mirror back the true compass of one's heart.
They can do this because they have this deep embodied contact with the present moment. When I work with them, we are able to collaborate in this beautiful dance, to assist people in coming home to their true North. It's just utterly exquisite!
