This approach called facilitated by the horses, created and developed by Linda Kohanov in the United States, author of the books "The Tao of Equus", "Riding Between the Worlds", "The Way of the Horse" and "The power of the Herd" is very rich and complex.
It brings together what psychology, body techniques and spiritual practice we have made, enhanced by the knowledge of healing power and wisdom of horses
Why horses ?
Their natural power and beauty have always impressed and inspired. Mythology has often used their image to represent the strength, intuition, spirit, moving from one world to another ... But above all they are animals of great sensitivity who react to what happens around them. In the wild, in case of danger, they are ready to escape and notify members of the horde at the slightest rustling suspect.
A domesticated, their senses are as alert, they agree with us that if they feel that we have no hidden agenda, if our behavior is consistent with our intention.
Their brain registers the slightest change in the body (increased pulse rate, heart rate, muscle tension ... and our buried emotions).
If they detect any "incongruence," they know we are refusing to participate or his back to us. Their spontaneous reactions give us the opportunity to go deep in ourselves what is going on. They are mirror.
In contact with the horses we use our body and its signals as indicators to understand what they communicate to us: that our gestures, tone of our voice, our posture, betray when we are in relationship with him and someone.
For it must be remembered 90% of communication is non verbal! but not least!
The horses themselves are experts to help us become aware of what is happening inside ourselves and to make changes.
The approach facilitated by the horses gives us the opportunity to learn and new ways of being and doing while experimenting.
Connexion with the heart
Do you know that the heart has its own central nervous system?
The heart generates an electromagnetic field. This field is much stronger than the brain's electromagnetic field. This field extends outside the body and can be measured across a room.
Research from the Institute for HeartMath has shown that the heart generates and electromagnetic field that is the biggest field in the body. It is much stronger than the brain's field. Your field extends out across the room in which you may be sitting.
The organ in our head is NOT the only intelligence processing center in the body. The heart organ is also an intelligence processing center.
Heart intelligence, emotional intelligence, and brain intelligence are all part of our intelligence processing center.
When we interact with someone, and especially with the horses we come into relationship with the electromagnetic fields given off by heart. For the heart is an organ pump blood as well as a center of our intelligence. Research done at the Institute Heartmath United States show that the heart generates an electromagnetic field in the body that is stronger than that of our brain. It stretches across the room where you are.
This field contains the intelligence of the heart and spreads all around us.
We are constantly receiving waves of electromagnetic fields.
The spine may be a receiving channel. When we meditate, we can think of our column like a tube that emits the energy of the heart outside of ourselves and that can reach those around us.
The horses that emit a lot of energy there, they help us thus to contact us at our own and make a conscious feeling the benefits of an open and peaceful heart.
