Healing for Horses: The Essential Guide to Using Hands-on Healing Energy with Horses
" by Margrit Coates is my favorite book about energy techniques for horses.
I have read other books about equine energy techniques and equine reiki, but this book by Margrit is the one that I find the most easy to read and apply the techniques from her instructions. And, it lines up with my belief system.
The following is taken from the back of the book:
Anyone can give healing to horses - to touch or send thoughts to sick or troubled animals. Try it for a variety of conditions and specific areas, such as a wound. It's the most natural therapy in the world and something the horse readily accepts. Find out how to give healing treatments, including the essential things to do in a session and when not to do anything. It will bring much comfort and a sense that your horse is connecting deep into your soul.
When I wanted to learn about equine energy techniques, I had to search around a little bit to find something that would line up with my beliefs as a Christian. I had a hard time with Reiki since it deals with being "attuned" by another person and also uses symbols. But, I soon found Healing Touch for Animals and called to speak to people who were using that type of energy therapy for horses. I learned from them that you can apply energy therapy by drawing from what ever "higher power" that you believed in. Mine being God and Jesus. I noticed this book on the recommended reading on their website and decided to purchase it and give it a try.
I was delighted to find that Margrit also believes in God and actually has a few quotes from the Bible at the top of some of her chapters. For those of you who have different beliefs, don't discard this book. She does not use the book to "preach". She mentions it in the story of her life and has a few quotes and that is about it. My point is, that for me, it made energy work available to me. It made me realize that energy work comes from the light side, not the dark side - which is what some people were leading me to believe.
I used this book to "experiment" with my own horse and then went on to take the Healing Touch for Animals training. I am so glad that I did. I have had some wonderful encounters with horses by using these techniques (one actually laid down and took a nap in the middle of the session!!!). I believe it does relieve them of pain, stress, and emotional problems which in turn affects the physical body. And, it does help to increase the bond you will have with that animal.
I would highly recommend this book. I like her writing style and her stories that she tells about horses she has worked with. She does a nice job of telling the reader how to learn to apply the techniques to horses in their own life. Writing this review is actually making me think I need to go back and reread this book as I enjoyed it so much.
