equine therapy.

Today we spent the afternoon at a local neurosurgeon's home/ranch learning about equine therapy. It was so wonderful to spend time outside learning in the sun with the view of the mountains as a backdrop. I had forgotten how beautiful horses are and how their simple presence is so calming. Equine therapy is not about riding horses or horse care for that matter, it's a process through which individuals learn about themselves, others, and their environment. It is used most often in children with autism, ADD and adults with anxiety, PTSD to give you an idea. We observed how horses responded to our different energetic fields in various circumstances, it was really interesting and a great reminder of our energetic power. The horse simply mirrors the person that is with them. For instance, a horse may become fearful if someone is aggressive. A lot of this is due to the fact that horses are prey animal and are always on the lookout for predators. Horses can really teach us the practice of 'letting go'. I think animals in general can teach us so much if we're willing...
