He raises Lipizzan horses on a small ranch on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona. Klappentext Horse training presents unique opportunities to explore powerful spiritual truths. The exercises in Zen Mind, Zen Horse offer everyone who works with horses -- novice or expert -- a new understanding of how humans train and interact with horses and why these two species, one a master predator and the other the ultimate prey animal, have such a deep, natural connection. Horses have evolved to understand and respond to the flow of vital energy -- chi -- around them, using it in their body language to communicate with members of their herd, to express dominance, and to sense danger from nearby predators. Being quietly present and receptive to your horse's energy opens the potential of your emotional, intuitive right brain. These simple, safe groundwork techniques reveal a pathway to awakening your deep sensitivity, calm leadership, intuition, and mindfulness. Zusammenfassung Drawing on his scientific understanding of the brain, noted neurosurgeon and lifelong horseman Allan Hamilton offers a new approach to horse training based on understanding the intuitive, nonverbal, right-brain communication process of horses.
