Equine Energy Therapy

The aim of this course is to give you a firm foundation in your understanding of not only how to give healing to horses and understanding their energy systems but also, for you to learn about other influences in the horse's life and living environment that can have an effect not only on the healing but also their personalities and physical body.

By the end of this course you will have gained enough knowledge to enable you to give healing to horses in a straight, forward, intuitive and professional manner.

What is Equine Energy Therapy?

Energy Healing aims to help restore and rebalance, the bodies own naturally existing energies. These energies are well documented in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and are known as:

• Jing – A lower physical energy found in parts of the body such as the blood.
• Chi – An overall energy that flows through the Aura, Chakras and Meridian systems and throughout the whole of the physical body.
• Shen - The higher spiritual energy.

There are many ways in which we can help these energies to come into balance. In this course we will be studying the practices of hands on healing, flower remedies and also looking at other widely available holistic therapies that are in common use with horses in the UK today.
