What do you mean Medicine Horse?

I get asked that plenty of times and I find myself trailing off into a different direction often trying to explain. All I can cite is what I witness happening here at VHF having known a few Nokota® horses over the years. The horses that have found their way and stayed here at Valhalla are healthy, willing and harmoniously impart their calm energy, wisdom and support to those that come to understand… It is about trust, this medicine, in our bodies, instincts, intuitions, relationships and more so, trust in ourselves to live a life of safety, joyful play and contentment. As one famous horse trainer (Pat Parelli) teaches about the needs of the horse…It is about safety, comfort and play, in that order.

Shamans from around the world believe that the horse can travel the path and reach the Great Spirit. The medicine here teaches us that nothing in life may match the strength we have within us to meet challenges head on. That is the strength of the war horses that have known us humans since when… they have carried us to war and victory, across lands and country; they have helped build great structures and also carried us to and from home and heart. The horse represents nobility, courage, triumph, freedom, endurance. So, where’s the medicine?

The heart of the horse is approximately 10 times larger than the human heart. This means that their heart generates a significantly larger electromagnetic field. Both horse and human emits energy from their heart which is measurable and plays an important role in their behaviors. (we’ll get into to more of this later)

As we connect with the horse develop, they have the abilities to have an impact on your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and read your thoughts before they hit your tongue, your energy and emotions. They want to keep, if not create this “calm” that they feel because they know they are safe. It is important for them to have you try and feel the same.

Good medicine is wisdom, trusting in the natural evolution of things. Our bodies, minds, spirit, souls are all unique, designed and created for health, efficiency and healing of thineself. We get caught in a conundrum or patterns that make us sick. They change our vibration, frequency, our energy. Horses respond to this because it is not healthy…for them to be around. It is about their safety too.

So again, where is the medicine in that?
