Equine-imity - Stress Reduction and Emotional Self-Regulation in the Company of Horses #547888

Ever wonder what it means to be “as healthy as a horse”? Equine-imity teaches you how to achieve optimal mind-body health with qigong, a tai chi-like moving meditation, in the presence of gentle, sensitive horses. Written especially for non-equestrians and non-meditators. Seven easy-to-learn exercises. International resources for how to find a horse near you.

Based on our course of the same name at Stanford, Equine-imity teaches qigong, a moving meditation, with, and optionally on, horses. It draws on principles and techniques from yoga, tai ji, mindfulness meditation, and Reiki, with a foundation of Daoist philosophy and Jungian psychology. From an East-meets-Western medical perspective, Equine-imity includes state-of-the art information on stress physiology, sports medicine, mirror neurons, and the physics and metaphysics of energy measurement.
