Level 1: Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding Home Study

Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding is all “soft work” but it is very, very effective in correcting gait abnormalities, saddle fitting issues, and mysterious lameness. (What I mean by “soft work” is that you don’t need a lot of strength for these techniques, anyone can do this!) These soft, gentle moves manually release “stuck” areas to keep the skeleton in proper form and function so that the horse can load the body, joints, and hooves correctly.

2.3 Level 2: Cranio Sacral Unwinding and Advanced Applied Kinesiology

Now that the horse’s body has been unwound and rebalanced from the Level 1 work, the next step is to bring it back to proper form, function, and vitality! Level 2 goes deeper into the horse’s body to release cranial bones as well as inner core muscles and fascia so that the body can function more smoothly. Use advanced applied kinesiology to ask where there is pain in the body and what physical or energetic blockages need to be released so the horse can heal. We will also look at energy meridians, how they affect your horse, and what you can do about it.

2.4 Level 3: Equine Cranial Decompression

In Level 3: Equine Cranial Decompression we work on manually releasing the cranial bones to relieve horses from past head traumas, most often from a pulled-back when tied incident. Compression of the cranial bones leads to horses that spook or are hard to bridle, recurrent uveitis, headshaking, TMJ, heaviness or resistance on one rein, and even the inability to gain weight, assimilate nutrition, or digest properly. Since it requires very specific techniques with a delicate touch, Level 3 is only taught in person and is not available as a home study course.

4.2 Hand, Hoof, and Ting Miracle Spray

I spray deep into the cracks of my horse’s frog which represents deep infection. Then apply it to the white line area that also represents infection and hoof wall separation. This can be sprayed under horses to soak in and penetrate. Then I apply to my hands and rub three-hundred-and-sixty degrees around the hoof hairline as this helps to balance the horse’s acupressure medians to stimulate healing and balance. Four weeks of doing this gave my horses amazing balanced hooves that impressed my barefoot trimmer and I no longer needed to put a boot on to ride.

5.1 Detox Protocol

Horses accumulate toxins from various sources like vaccinations and chemical wormers. A targeted detox regimen may help to alleviate this burden on their systems. By passively detoxing the body and supporting the liver and kidneys, we can effectively remove heavy metals and toxins not helping your horse and laying the foundation for robust health. No matter what you feed your horse right now, they are not  able to fully assimilate its benefits without a good detox first.

Ingredients:

•  Natural Cellular Defense (NCD): https://amzn.to/3OvEKk6

Instructions:

• I give 15 drops of Natural Cellular Defence (NCD) Liquid Zeolite 4 times a day on a non-sugary treat such as an apple or carrot.

7.3 The Emotion Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson

Renowned holistic physician and lecturer Dr. Bradley Nelson skillfully lays bare the inner workings of the subconscious mind. He reveals how emotionally-charged events from your past can still be haunting you in the form of “trapped emotions”—emotional energies that literally inhabit your body. These trapped emotions can fester in your life and body, creating pain, malfunction, and eventual disease. They can also extract a heavy mental and emotional toll on you, impacting how you think, the choices that you make, and the level of success and abundance you are able to achieve. Perhaps most damaging of all, trapped emotional energies can gather around your heart, cutting off your ability to give and receive love.

7.4 Conscious Language by Robert Tennyson Stevens

How much power do our words really carry? Is it possible that our words—the air that we invite into the deepest recesses of our body and then carefully expel through the sacred organ of our vocal cords—have a power that is so great that it was intentionally confused over 5,000 thousand years ago? What would it mean to re-discover the secret of the language that heals our deepest hurts, breathes life into our greatest joys, and literally creates Reality itself? The result of over thirty years of research and the experiences of many thousands of people, Conscious Language – The Logos of NOW is the premier guide to conscious language in the 21st Century.
