Holistequine

Quantum Knowledge, June 2004

Holistequine (hol-ist-equine) is a totally unique approach to personal growth, self empowerment, health and fitness whereby the horse acts as the mentor and personal coach.

By interacting with the horse we can see and understand areas in our lives that are not working for us. The horse mirrors back to us our short comings (energy blocks) enabling us to address these issues in a fun, non-threatening environment.

The method was developed over 20 years by a Holistic Practitioner after observing the interaction within her own horse herd and subsequently working with horses and people. Their self level of self-worth was determined by how they had been treated and handled in the past by humans. Each person that came to us was drawn to a horse that “mirrored” similar issues to themselves thereby enabling us to work through the particular problem.

Holistequine is a Holistic discipline that focuses not only on the Spiritual, Mental and Emotional health of the participant but also requires a physical regime worthy if our partnership with these strong animals.

The understandings gained from these sessions include seeing issues like anger, frustration, low self-esteem etc. be resolved with the help of the horse. People’s lives actually change, because they change.

Holistequine helps anyone who has trouble with their personal power. People who substitute aggression for power or people who are “too giving” and are than resentful because they feel they have “been used.”.

“The Horse is a window to our Spirit.
He mirrors back to us our true worth.
We cannot fool him”

Animal Therapy as Preventative Medicine

Unlocking the Healing Potential of the Horse

Mission Statement:

The aim of "Holistequine" Practitioner Course is to help bridge the gap between esoteric teachings, metaphysical concepts and the practical application of alternative therapies.

We aim to bring vibrational medicine (equine) to the grass roots level in an attempt to not only heal ourselves and our horse but to help correct inappropriate social behaviour and dis-ease in others. Holistequine establishes a greater understanding of the healing role of animals, and demonstrates that the finer characteristics of animal behaviour can be incorporated into, and be of benefit to our own lives.

"Holistequine" as a healing discipline

Our Philosophy:

Holistequine is a method of natural healing, that is, in it’s purest sense, healing through nature. We take the philosophies of traditional Naturopathy and work with animals and nature and specifically the horse to connect body, mind & spirit.

The horse, throughout history has been part of our evolutionary journey connected to our ego. Holistequine sees the future relationship with these animals as part of our spiritual journey to help us connect to our higher selves, while giving back to the horse the respect and consideration he deserves.

The Holistequine practitioner will:

• Heal their horse while healing themselves
• Understand the concept: Physician Heal Thyself
• Learn to work with the horse as the medium
• Help establish in themselves and their patients the belief of "ONENESS"
• Give no medicine
• Interest the patient in taking responsibility for his/her own wellbeing
• Help the patient balance in his/her lives physically, emotionally and spiritually
• Through the horse, the practitioner will heal their own shadow side so as to reflect back to the patient their pure spirit potential.
• Understand the hierarchy of healing and the relationship of disease from the subtle energy bodies down to the physical body.
• Do no harm
