mBraining With Horses

Horse Wisdom

Have no doubt that your emotions are contagious.

If you are always rushing around; busy, stressed, easily distracted, anxious… this is the energy that you are entraining those around you to also become, whether it’s other people, Horse, or other animals in your life.

It requires embodied self awareness to recognise when you have slipped into a mindless state.
With practice, you can mindfully ‘engage your awareness and come back to your senses’ quickly and easily.

This ensures that whenever life throws you off balance, you can easily return to a state of peace and balanced coherence. In fact, you need not experience stress ever again.

In every moment, you are either being entrained by those around you, resonating with their unchecked emotions, or you are the one doing the entraining.

Remember, your energy and resonance entrains others. Your mindful presence is a present to others. So you’re not doing this just for yourself, do it so that other people and animals around you are not caught up by unchecked and unresourceful emotional contagions.

Your mind field can be a mine field!

The 'energy of your agenda' impacts your level of nervous system arousal and has a huge impact on horses, along with affecting other people through a felt sense field effect.

Unintegrated trauma (PTSD) also impacts your nervous system functioning, whether you are aware of it or not (and in my experience, sadly yes, I would say rarely is there anyone who is not impacted by some sort of developmental trauma)

The human, and I propose also that the horse's body, emits low-level light, heat and acoustical energy;

It also has electrical and magnetic properties;
and may also transduce energy that (as yet) cannot be easily defined by physics and chemistry.

All of these emissions are part of the 'visually unseen' energy field that emanates from you and your horse.

Everything has an energetic field extending out from it – even your mind 🗣️ and especially your heart ♥️ (I talk about this in other posts)

When you are paying attention and have an intention toward something, your mind field is reaching out and without awareness of your impact, it can literally be a 'mine field' to other sensitive beings.

When you're looking at something, paying attention to something, you are in effect energetically touching it, as your mind is reaching out toward it.

For some sensitive receivers this could be perceived as too much, akin to the energy of being chased or pursued, even though you/they may not be physically moving.

The result may be the 'other being' (or yourself if you are sensitively receiving) having to move away, out of this possibly overwhelming energetic field, in order to maintain or regain a sense of safety.

This may result in labels such as being too much or too big from others.

So how do we attend to horse or others compassionately?

The word to 'attend' c. 1300, means "to direct one's mind or energies," from Old French atendre (12c., Modern French attendre) "to expect, wait for, pay attention," and directly from Latin attendere "give heed to," literally "to stretch toward," from ad- "to" (see ad-) + tendere "stretch" (see tenet).

The notion is of "stretching" one's mind toward something. Sense of "take care of, wait upon" is from early 14c. Meaning "to pay attention" is early 15c.; that of "to be in attendance" is mid-15c.

So when we pay attention – ad tendere = to stretch toward, your mind stretches out to what you're paying attention to.

Therefore we can affect things by the simple act of looking at them. Think about how you look at a loved one, a horse or other animal versus another that triggers or annoys you.
What feeling sensations and emotions arise in your body as you do so? Where is the energy located in your body and how calm or activated is it? Is it balanced and just right, or too much or too little given the situation?

This is real, not simply woo woo stuff. Just think about predator prey relationships and the energy of intention and purpose there when hunting or not.

So your intentions can have an affect on things at a distance – some may call this telepathy – It is a normal and natural animal ability, yet for most humans not so much yet it can learnt and this is core to our programs and training.

There has been much research with animals and there are many stories about how many different animals pick up on the humans intentions.
Anyone who has had a dog or cat with a vet appointment would know this, it is most common for them to disappear, or when you are planning to go away and leave the animal behind, they know, even before you begin packing a suitcase.

Dogs know when their owners are coming home and horses know when they are going to be sold :(

Did you know most survivors of abuse and related trauma hold their bellies tight?
Especially women can hold this in their pelvic brain and womb area.

This causes tension and brace in both horse and human, which doesn't just affect the lower body.

This is related to the mBIT gut brain prime competencies being identity, survival, safety and motility that we teach about in our programs.

It's all very well to have a heart based approach to all you do and in fact the heart should lead all that you do but the heart must be connected to, grounded in and fully supported by your gut intelligence, your core, your center.

If you have suffered trauma, you or your clients may not even notice this as a limiting factor in being your real true self, without any awareness that it exists, because, it feels 'normal' as it's all been there for so long, it's just "how it's always been".

Of course there's also the findings about the vagus nerve and how many people hold tension in the face, jaw and neck (which then impacts the vagus nerve and therefore results in the gut brain thinking you are unsafe).

This has implications for those of you who ride of course because this tension gets transferred directly to the horse, mostly without you even knowing this.

So the next time your horse holds it head up and gets 'that look' check in with your self, your inner experience, your nervous system and your gut center along with your face/jaw and notice what you notice.

Is your body tight or free flowing?
Are you tense and braced?
Or open and allowing?
