While I was offering Reiki to Sadie, something beautiful was happening nearby…her son, Halen, was calming down too. 🐴💙🐴
Sadie was the intended recipient of the session, but Halen remained close enough to experience the peaceful environment surrounding his mother. As the session continued, I watched him begin to soften and settle alongside her.
Horses are incredibly sensitive to one another. They communicate through body language, emotional cues and the subtle shifts occurring within their herd. HeartMath Institute has also documented changes in a horse’s heart-rhythm pattern when a nearby person entered a calm, coherent state—offering a fascinating glimpse into how deeply horses may respond to the energy and emotional state around them.
Was Halen responding to his mother’s growing relaxation, the Reiki energy present in the space, or the shared sense of calm surrounding us?
Perhaps it was a little of everything. ✨
What I do know is that while Sadie received her Reiki session, Halen appeared to find a peaceful moment of his own.
Healing energy has a beautiful way of touching more than the one standing directly in front of us. 💙
