👩‍🔬🥼 I love the Science 🔬💫

The Science ❤️‍🔥

The electromagnetic field of a horses heart is 5 times stronger than a human heart.

Seeing our "SELF" through the heart of the horse ♥️

According to HeartMath Institute:

"....the heart is the most powerful generator of electromagnetic energy in the human body, producing the largest rhythmic electromagnetic field of any of the body's organs. The heart's electric field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain. This field, measured in the form of electrocardiogram (ECG), can be detected anywhere on the surface of the body. Furthermore, the magneticfield produced by the heart is 5,000 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain and can be detected a number of feet away from the body in all directions."

The electromagnetic field of the horse's heart is 5 times greater than ours, making their sensitivity to energies around them more acute, thus picking up the energy we are putting out. For example, our emotions carry different energies. The horses will feel these energies and respond to them, showing us what we are feeling, even when we are unaware ourself.

Interestingly, the horse's heart beats three times slower than ours. When our heart and body connect to this energy, we feel relief, a sense of well-being, and our bodies begin to heal, inviting us to slow down and experience what's going on inside of us.

Lovely words and a reminder to take time out.

Summer solstice is upon us
we are halfway through this year
take a beat, retreat, reflect and pause
to see your journey clear

you have toiled enough to warrant
some time out from the race
feel the tension on your shoulders
breathe it out, relax your face

let the light infuse your soul
let the warmth into your bones
let the easy months take hold
let the winter weight be gone

fill your stores with joy and being
capture snapshots for your heart
they will fuel your winter fires
they will permeate the dark

It is now the living’s easy
so let this truth be true
you are worn and you are weary
let the busy melt from view

Summer solstice is upon us
give it up to boundless days
let the summer breeze drift through
and carry you away.

We have another offering coming up soon. This time we have Therese Cousens joining myself and Gill Leach for a relaxing wellbeing day. We will be offering a gentle outdoor Yoga session, meditations in nature listening to the sounds of wildlife and connecting with the Elements.

Experience a Shamanic drumming session to shake up and loosen stuck energy. Then sitting in circle your hosts will direct healing Reiki energy for the group to recieve, some gentle sounds tuned to 432hz the Earth frequency will then begin to resonate in the space to bring further relaxation.

Throughout there will be flower essences for people to sample around the themes of the day and we will conclude with a fire ceremony to release anything that no longer serves us and set intentions for attracting the new.

Lunch and refreshments included.
Stunning location, surrounded by nature. 🌿🌲🪷

Last week I had the privilege of hosting a solo retreat for a lovely lady from Australia. Over the days that she was here we explored some themes that were applicable to her. We had spent some lovely time connecting with the horses during her EFI sessions. Some loose in the field sensing their energy field and where it felt comfortable to be, finding her place in the herd and how that may act as a metaphor for other situations in life. We had a lovely mindful walk with the horses too. I also introduced her to flower essences and in particular the Australian Bush Essences. The energy so unique to the Australian diverse environment and I felt an ideal tool for her to explore that would help her through life’s challenges.

Catchy song and thought provoking from Healing Forest. Are we all animals in a zoo. Our cars, our tech, our Cities. What keeps us caged?

A song to set you free We are all prisoners of our own device. Our cities imprison us in cages disguised as cubicles, cars, and cozy rooms. The web was meant to open the world for us, but even our …

Finding stillness in Nature, we return to the rhythm of the earth, where nothing is rushed and everything belongs. Like a forest clearing untouched by footsteps, it offers space for breath, reflection, and renewal.

In the quiet stillness of Nature we remember that peace grows from patience, deep roots, and the gentle unfolding of time. Amid the hush, we realize that presence is a gentle awareness, grounding us in what truly matters.

As we emerge from this stillness, may we carry its quiet wisdom into the noise of our days, walking gently, breathing deeply, and remembering that peace is not a place we reach, but a way we move through the world.

"I Waited in the Stillness”
I waited in the stillness, where the meadow meets the mist,
Where morning light would linger, and your hands had once been kissed.
You left me there with promises, though none were ever said,
Just quiet in your footsteps, and warmth where you had tread.

I heard you in the silence, in the sighing of the trees,
In stories shaped from starlight, and carried on the breeze.
You called me without calling, you knew I’d understand,
That bonds aren't made with bridles, but the softness of your hand.

You never said goodbye to me, but neither did you stay,
Just turned your face toward duty, and slowly rode away.
And I, too proud to follow, stood still with aching grace—
My loyalty unbroken, though time may dull my trace.

Now years have drawn like winter’s breath, your hair is touched with snow,
But here I am, a shadow still, where only you would know.
You kneel and touch the earth for me, the grave where I now lie,
But I am not beneath you — I’m the wind that’s drifting by.

So if you hear me one last time, in rustling grass or rain,
Know I would carry you once more, through fire, fear, and pain.
And though my hooves no longer strike the ground beneath the blue,
I waited in the stillness — I was always waiting for you.
