One of the services I offer to my clients is coaching with horses. I am going to be doing a three-part series to tell you more about what coaching with horses is and what it can do for you.
Horses are masters of emotional intelligence.
Have you ever had an experience with a horse (or any animal) where you feel like they read you and understand your feelings? Maybe you had a really bad day and your dog comes up and snuggles with you unexpectedly? That’s emotional intelligence! If you have interacted with a horse and felt a bond, it’s often because horses read our energy and mirror back to us what they’re observing.
Horses have an innate ability to read and process emotions as information. They live and operate in the state of presence and complete awareness all the time and utilize the information that they receive from everything all at once, instantly. Horses can see details simultaneously with the whole picture, because they are aware of physical presence and the non-physical sphere of energy. They are constantly in sync with themselves as well as every other creature on the earth, all at once.
Horses are brilliant coaches for us.
When we are able to step into their world and understand their emotional intelligence, we can start using it ourselves. This helps us create tremendous change and growth opportunities.
Where does this come from? How can horses do this?
As a species that has been on the planet for over 50 million years, horses are masters at successfully navigating their environment and adapting to change. These are things that we’re able to tap into.
As an animal that is preyed upon in nature, the horse has a highly developed ability to sense changes in the environment and arousal level of other herd members. Horses intuitively sense the emotions and energies around them, and in turn mirror and reflect those emotions and energies when interacting with us.
They respond to what we are actually communicating, often knowing our intentions before we do and providing honest and instant feedback. The horse becomes the mirror in which we see ourselves and how we can measure our energy, effectiveness and non-verbal communication. Horses operate on pure authenticity and congruence which gives us a genuine interpretation of our reality and helps to confirm our own truths. Through their connection to our authentic self, horses transport us beyond our limitations into the boundless.
