WHY FEEL??
Horses, unique gifts from heaven, play a crucial role in our growth and learning.
Their ability to see into our inner being and enhance our consciousness is a perspective we can't miss. They have much to teach if we humans have the humility to listen.
We see, hear, smell and feel everything around us. Adding to all this is the constant chase of the clock, which often leaves us overwhelmed and unintuitive because we do not know how to switch off or protect ourselves.
Self-awareness is the key to unlocking the techniques for self-healing.
FEEL is designed to help you achieve this through knowledge and awareness.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND FEEL
Recent studies conducted by the Institute of Heart-Math provide a clue to explain the two-way ′′healing′′ that occurs when we're close to horses.
According to researchers, the heart has an electromagnetic field larger than the brain: a magnetometer can measure the energy field of the heart that radiates from 2.4 meters to 3 meters around the human body.
While this is certainly significant, perhaps more impressive than the electromagnetic field projected by the heart of a horse is five times larger than that of a human being (imagine an electromagnetic sphere around the horse) and it can influence straight into our own heart rate.
Horses are also likely to have what science has identified as a "coherent′′ heart rate (heart rate pattern) that explains why we can feel better when we're close to them. Studies have found a coherent heart pattern or HRV to be a solid measure of well-being and consistent with emotional states of calm and joy-that is, we exhibit such patterns when we feel positive emotions.
A coherent heart pattern is indicative of a system that can recover and adapt to stressful situations very efficiently. Many times, we just need to be in the presence of horses to feel a sense of well-being and peace.
In fact, research shows that people experience many physiological benefits by interacting with horses, including lower blood pressure and heart rate, higher beta-endorphins (neurotransmitters acting as pain suppressors), decreased stress levels, decreased feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, better social working; and greater feelings of empowerment, confidence, patience and self-efficacy.

FEEL SESSION #2 – CONNECTIONS (part 2)
OPEN YOUR HEART AND FEEL
“Recent studies conducted by the Institute of HeartMath provide a clue to explain the bidirectional “healing” that happens when we are near horses. According to researchers, the heart has a larger electromagnetic field and higher level of intelligence than the brain: A magnetometer can measure the heart’s energy field radiating up to 8 to 10 feet around the human body. While this is certainly significant it is perhaps more impressive that the electromagnetic field projected by the horse’s heart is five times larger than the human one (imagine a sphere-shaped field that completely surrounds you). The horse’s electromagnetic field is also stronger than ours and can actually directly influence our own heart rhythm!
A coherent heart pattern is indicative of a system that can recover and adjust to stressful situations very efficiently. Often times, we only need to be in a horse’s presence to feel a sense of wellness and peace. In fact, research shows that people experience many physiological benefits while interacting with horses, including lowered blood pressure and heart rate, increased levels of beta-endorphins (neurotransmitters that serve as pain suppressors), decreased stress levels, reduced feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, improved social functioning; and increased feelings of empowerment, trust, patience and self-efficacy.”
Scientific findings as done by The Heart Math Institute (HMI) , have confirmed that the heart serves as a powerful energy center capable of radiating love, appreciation, and care. By choosing to embrace life with open hearts, we open ourselves to the potential of creating a kinder, more compassionate world. When we open our hearts to one another, the warmth of care and compassion can move through our system while lifting our spirit and the energetic environment around us.
Come and Experience an “open heart “ connection with a FEEL horse at Rensburghoek guest farm, the ONLY certified FEEL facility in Africa .
Learn to apply “ open heart” connections in every day life and reap the benefits of the heart-brain coherent state.

FEEL SESSON #2 : “CONNECTIONS “
According to research done by “The Heart Math Institute “ in California , it shows that the heart’s electromagnetic field is the most powerful rhythmic field produced by the human body.
It not only envelops every cell of the body but also extends out in all directions into the space around us.
This field affects each other’s moods, attitudes and feelings – whether we are conscious of it or not. It is real and influential yet invisible.
When we come into alignment with this field ( heart- coherence) , there is a deeper understanding of our connection with others , with life and with that source of collective wisdom.

In this session heart-coherence is introduced with given tools to put to practice
This session creates awareness of the energy field , layers and effect.
It Creates “openness” to subtle energy changes in the body
It creates the opportunity to “connect” heart to heart with a horse and experience the very individual , unique energy exchange .

It is during this session while in the state of coherence and heart resonance that the horse can take the opportunity to perform healing work.

We gain a better understanding of our relation to one another. Can we truly connect with another heart-heart . Have we built walls around the heart? Are we trying to connect via a carefully crafted surface to another carefully crafted surface” not knowing your True self?
