Energy is more than woowoo...

Electromagnetic Energy Field
Have you ever felt someone walk into a room? You didn't see them but something just felt different. 
Or, maybe you've felt when someone was having a bad day. They hadn't spoken a word yet but you could sense that something was off.
What is it that you’re feeling? It is their Electromagnetic Energy Field. 
​
Your electromagnetic field, or energy field, is the energy that flows through and around your body … this can also be thought of as an aura.
Our heart is the source of this electromagnetic energy field that radiates in concentric circles several feet around our physical bodies. Horses also have this same electromagnetic field.

Amazingly, the energy field of a horse is 5 times stronger than that of a human. This means they can detect shifts in energy much earlier than we can … but you already knew that! 
This is why horses are such amazing healers. They are very in tune with their own bodies, but they are also very aware of the energy fields that are being projected at them. 

This is also why horses are involved in so many types of therapy and recovery programs. They respond to you based on the energy you are projecting…whether or not you realize it. They will mirror your energy.

Ok, I know what you left brain thinkings are processing right now. Is this some woo-woo kind of stuff she is talking about? 
Nope! There is actual science behind it!
In fact, the Heartmath Institute is dedicated to understanding just that. In one study, they set-out to answer those very questions:
Can the electromagnetic field generated by the heart of one individual be detected in physiologically relevant ways in another person, and if so, does it have any discernible biological effects?

The results of these experiments have led us to conclude that the nervous system acts as an antenna, which is tuned to and responds to the magnetic fields produced by the hearts of other individuals. My colleagues and I call this energetic information exchange energetic communication and believe it to be an innate ability that heightens awareness and mediates important aspects of true empathy and sensitivity to others. Furthermore, we have observed that this energetic communication ability can be enhanced, resulting in a much deeper level of nonverbal communication, understanding and connection between people. We also propose that this type of energetic communication between individuals may play a role in therapeutic interactions between clinicians and patients that has the potential to promote the healing process [1]

While teaching a workshop recently, we were discussing Body Evaluation and learning to identify types of dysfunction in one of the demo horses. The horse could feel us evaluating and judging him. He became anxious and would not stand still. I have experienced this several times with other horses, and I instantly knew what was causing his discomfort. He could feel our judgmental energy and it made him uncomfortable. I asked the class and myself to assure him that he was safe and loved. Immediately, his demeanor changed and he was once again able to stand calmly. 
What you may not realize is that we can send the energy generated at the heart anywhere inside OR outside our body. This energy creation and utilization is the foundation of the LISTEN Approach. 

I am working on an online course called Introduction to Christ-centered, Energy-based Equine Healing as well as an Equine Craniosacral Course called LISTEN Approach Pillar 1: Using Equine Craniosacral Therapy to Unlock Mystery Soundness, Movement, or Behavior Issues.
