Intuitive communication
We all dream to be able to communicate with our horses by intuition.
It is possible to know exactly what a horse thinks, how he feels, and his emotions.
Everyone will learn by their own personal experiences, but there are still a few basic steps for everyone to try.
To start, I will choose the right environment, where the horse is relaxed and comfortable. The stable is often a very good place to begin.
I will avoid any sources of distractions, wear comfortable closing, and switch my mobile phone off.
Enter the stable and stand in the corner away from the horse. I will not try to get in contact if I feel stressed, tired or if I have any negative feelings. In the same time, choose a moment when the horse feels calm and disposed. Avoid feeding time or when it is his normal exercise time.
It is important to stay Zen, only think of the here and now, not how it was or the end result. Breathe slowly and deeply, locate muscular tensions and relax them one by one. I like to close my eyes, others may keep them open, and everyone will find the best way to empty their mind.
I Stay positive, it is impossible to communicate if you do not believe it, you must be confident and believe in yourself (yes I will communicate, yes he has things to say, yes I will understand ). A good technique to achieve this is to have a phrase, a positive affirmation that corresponds to your needs with a constant notion of evolution. For example: I want to communicate with my horse, and I achieve it better and better. Repeat this phrase few times a day, in the evening before going to bed, in the morning when you wake up, do this for a week, a month or more, this will help getting a patient, open, respectful state of mind.
When it is time to enter into contact, I will start by observing the horse, to let the first impressions come in. If I dont know the horse, I will present myself, maybe just by saying Hello; I will ask him permission to communicate. I will wait for him to accept. He will come to meet me, I will not try to touch him, let him check me over. When he is ready he will tell me. I will ask him questions specific to his problem. For example: Why are you difficult to catch, or why do you feel stressed. You can repeat the question a few times with the same words, talk to him like he understand everything you say, tell him how you feel about his attitude.
Now it is vital to listen, be like a sponge, let the emotions, the words, the smells come to you, even if it is only an impression. Do not judge; do not try to come to conclusions. You must let go of the tendency that consist of following a logical reasoning or trying to get a correct response, try not to project your own ideas. The horse is not a human, therefore he will not see things exactly like us, but you must have a lot of empathy.
During the session try to write everything down, date, place, also anything that goes through your mind, do not leave anything out, and do so without thinking or correcting anything. At the end of the session take note of your impressions, your success and also the defeats. If nothing has happened write it down. When you will read it at a later time, something that had no meaning at the time will do the next day. It will also help you when you re-start a conversation.
Finally after 15-20 minutes, it is very important that you thank your horse, show some gratitude, some acknowledgement for giving his attention.
Observe his attitude; has he changed? If you havent succeeded, dont give up, do not get frustrated, try again later.
Be happy for just being there with your horse, next to him, here and now without asking anything.
These are only basic steps that will help you to understand and communicate with your horse. Remember your attitude will play a vital role in the well being of your favourite companion.
