As a Eponaquest Instructor, if you are interested in experiencing this work, reach out to me to schedule an Equine Coaching session!
Studies show that a horse's heart can generate a magnetic field up to five times stronger than ours, and it actually synchronizes with a human's heart rate when we are calm and grounded nearby. But thereās much more to it than that. In 1999, Linda Kohanov began studying and mapping aspects of the horseās electromagnetic field due to her work with a dangerous stallion who could not be touched. Over the years, she noticed that the energy field had a multi-layered effect and that humans could either dysregulate or coregulate a horseās nervous system through predictable interactions at distances of 20 feet or more. Over time, she developed protocols that helped people gain the trust of fearful or aggressive horses through conscious interactions with the equine energy field.
During her workshops in Europe, Australia, Canada and North America, she used these same protocols with hundreds of horses and taught their owners to do the same. She also learned that the same protocols could be used with fearful or aggressive people, and with other animals.
āIn the beginning, I taught these protocols only to advanced equestrian students,ā she says. āBut this form of sentient communication was so useful, even in purely human contexts, that I began to teach these skills during my introductory workshops and in my sessions with people who either work with trauma survivors or are trauma survivors themselves.ā
Linda was particularly surprised to find that the engineers she worked with at Raytheon Missile Systems not only embraced the protocols, they were unusually comfortable with the idea of learning to communicate through interactions with the energy fields of living beings: āAfter all, they told me, not only do they have to calculate for the influence of the earthās magnetic field to manage satellite functions in space, these rocket scientists have learned how use energy fields as nonviolent weapons to surround a sensitive military installation with an invisible force that literally makes trespassers feel nauseated, unable to function under its influence.ā
Linda says she has written about the equine energy field in limited ways in her books, but because of the nonverbal nature of the protocols, she and the Eponaquest instructors she has trained must teach most of this knowledge in person, with the horses.
