Earth Medicine School - Horse Teacher Classes
Research studies conducted by the Institute of Heart-Math shows that the electromagnetic field of a horse’s heart is 5 times the size of a human heart. Their “coherent” (heart rate pattern), explains that we feel better when we are close to them because their heart rate pattern is consistent with emotional states of calm and joy. When are in the presence of horses, we learn to recover from stress, elevated states of emotions, grounding and introspection, all which helps us to manage our physical, emotional and mental symptoms. This program we approach the horses in a student mind set with humbleness and respect. This approach teaches us their wisdom, our equality with whom we are relating and an openness to learn without pressure and with freedom. This allows natural healing to occur.
We welcome you to explore our programs below.
