Soul Connection with Horses : Healing the Mind and Awakening the Spirit through Equine Assisted Practices – Suzanne E. Court, PhD

Detailní popis produktu

Soul Connection with Horses explores what can happen when our relationship with horses moves beyond training and riding and becomes an opportunity for reflection, emotional awareness and personal growth.

Suzanne E. Court draws on her experience in equine-assisted therapy to examine the unique role horses can play in helping people reconnect with themselves, other living beings and the natural world. Central to the book is the idea of approaching horses as partners rather than tools, while paying close attention to their own perceptions, emotions and ways of communicating.

The book brings together ideas from equine-assisted practices, psychology and spiritual traditions. It considers concepts such as presence, intuition, awareness and connection, and explores how time spent with horses can challenge habitual patterns of thought and encourage a different way of experiencing ourselves and our surroundings.

Court also invites readers to consider the horse’s perspective. By looking at how horses experience their environment through their senses, process emotions and express their needs, she encourages a relationship based on observation, respect and genuine two-way connection.

This is not a horse-training manual, nor a conventional book on equine behaviour. Instead, it uses the horse–human relationship as a starting point for exploring emotional wellbeing, self-awareness and questions of personal and spiritual growth.

A thoughtful choice for equestrians, equine-assisted practitioners and readers interested in the emotional and more reflective dimensions of our relationships with horses.
