Had the big guns charging yesterday for a very special horse 😊
As an Equine Touch Practitioner I use a specific sequence of moves over the whole body in what we call a “Dynamic Body Balance”
This body balance is deeply relaxing for most horses and encourages a state of homeostasis in the body.
For this particular horse though, a body balance is NOT allowed! Her owner has done a wonderful job in allowing her to have a voice and boy does she use it! She has taught me to listen and be able to adapt where and when I need to. She directs me to where her pain is and I release it, pop the red light pads in for some regeneration and away I go until next time. This horse really challenged me to work outside of the way I wanted to! I always feel like I should do more but I have to listen to her telling me she doesn’t want more. As a bodyworker my way of working on horses over the years has evolved so much that it probably looks very different to when I first started. The one thing that has never changed though, is my commitment to the horse in front of me. Integrity and intent were two things taught to us learning The Equine Touch. Integrity of The Equine Touch move itself. It is unique and powerful! And intent, never approach a horse a horse with the intention of ‘doing’ something to them, only ever to work with them and their bodies for their benefit. If you got to the end of this post, thank you! Sometimes reflections need a share ☺️🐴🐴
