Description

Equine Communication Training will put you on the fast track to communicating clearly with horses and other animals from a place of mindfulness and compassion. Better communication builds trust, improves the quality of life, encourages innovation, increases engagement, and reduces conflict.Learn effective exercises to quickly quiet mind-chatter so you can hear what horses are saying. Approach your animal in a certain way and they can help you find an expanded awareness. Learn how to open doorways to peace, harmony, compassion, and understanding.When we are in this realm of expanded awareness, we understand animals and humans expressing their own innate beauty without needing to manipulate them to make them different from what they are. In this state of present self-acceptance, we are able to accept ourselves and others as the unique creations we are in this moment. This is where true communication lives, in harmony with our authentic selves as we exist as an essential part of nature.This course will get you on the path to creating a relationship based on authenticity, empathy, trust, and love with your horse, dog, cat, or any loved one. The course includes nearly 6 hours of video and audio exercises contained within 77 lectures. Give yourself and your animals the gift of clear communication.
