Connecting Hearts: Understanding the Research on the Symbiotic Bond Between Horses and Humans

[@MeelaBliss]

The Holy Spirit is upon the land, the comforter. Heartmath is amazing and makes so much sense because it is able to remind of of practical ways to receive the Holy Spirit. Thank you for a loving genuine and kind community 💜

[@peacefulway3]

I just love love that this research was conducted and the results!

[@mortalclown3812]

What a beautiful video. I've had horses for years and guess I suspected as much; awfully nice to hear science backing it up. Thank you.

[@elcielodemallorca7183]

Wonderful video! We are so excited here in Mallorca to soon start a healing/spiritual learning centre for people interested in the Heart Math techniques combined with Animal Communication techniques . Myself, horses, ponies and all our rescues are so excited to give our hearts ❤️ to change lives.

Wow, that is great! Best wishes on your endeavor💛

A friend of mine's wife provides horse therapy for autistic and highly un-responsive children who have not shown any improvements or responsiveness to other various forms of mainstream therapies. The horse's get some remarkable results from these otherwise distant and sometimes virtually catatonic kids. The proof is in the pudding!

That is wonderful! 💗

I love you heart math institute ❤

Thank you! 💜

Very interesting and not surprising. But very helpful to have emprical proof how the interaction between horses and humans work. Could you link the original study please?

This is great 🎉

Horses can practice Reiki.

HORSES ARE SOMEWHAT TELEPATHIC :)

[@RossJacobs]

Studies by neurophysiologists of telepathy in humans have failed to detect such things. It is unlikely it exists in other species, but how would you test it? If you know of such scientific valid studies please post a link to the publication(s).

[@MichaelMartinussen]

@@RossJacobs Thank you for your answer Ross :) You say that "Studies by neurophysiologists of telepathy in humans have failed to detect such things" What is your source/ link... Thank you :)

[@RossJacobs]

@@MichaelMartinussen I don't have a link to offer. I recall a couple of studies in the either the late 80s or early 90s where they were not able to confirm the existence of telepathy in humans. Do you know of any studies by respected scientists published in quality journals that demonstrate the existence of telepathy? Science can only prove the existence of something, not the non-existence of it. So the onus is on proving telepathy exists and not on proving it does not exist. I'm sure there have been dozens of studies since it is a subject that re-appears from time to time. But why are you not critically questioning the existence of telepathy instead of supporting it? An enquiring mind would insist on irrefutable evidence. Don't you think if there was strong evidence it would be headline news and be the subject of major research studies around the world? Instead these piddly little backyard studies pop up from time to time and a group of wishful thinkers grab onto them as if they prove the existence of telepathy. That's not how science works.

[@lip3gate]

@@RossJacobs check out Rupert Sheldrake work on dogs telepathy!

[@RossJacobs]

@@lip3gate thank you. I have looked at some of Sheldrake's work. His studies are so poorly designed and full of holes that it is hard to take him seriously. But may I suggest you research the science that has looked at Sheldrake's claims. To my knowledge there is not a single study that can repeat Sheldrake's findings. Scientific results are suppose to be repeatable. If they can't be repeated by other independent studies they are put in the "outlier theory basket" and not considered to be proven fact.

[@ponispal]

It's real.

As a scientifically trained horseman with a PhD in physiology and many years in medical research I find this stuff being passed off as science to be both annoying and deceptive. It preys on people's desire for a connection with a horse who have no understanding of the scientific method or how to critically evaluate the information. This type of work should first be presented at a conference of neurophysiologists, such as the American Physiologist Society where it can be pulled apart, tested and scrutinised by other scientists in the field to see if it passes the test of being valid. Only then should it be sprung on the horse loving public as if it was settled science.

Heart Rate Variability in Horses Engaged in Equine-Assisted Activities is one article found in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science - Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 78-84. There are more.

[@RossJacobs]

@@SouthwestRobyn this is exactly what I mean by my earlier comment. The JEVS is not considered a top shelf scientific journal. It is more of a clinical journal and where science goes to die. Let the authors present their work to the APS conference and see how well it is received by the scientific community.

[@ashleewright6373]

Thank you for this comment! There are numerous vague and undefined terms in this video, like 'coherent/incoherent' or 'energetic field.' If they want to be considered scientific they need to provide operational definitions for these things. As someone who has done work in equine assisted social services it's really frustrating that people will distort and misrepresent the value of horses with vague woo. Horses are great creatures and it's really disappointing that people aren't satisfied with that and feel the need to attribute unnatural powers to them.

Scientists are so busy trying to prove that God exists or doesn't exist... that they miss seeing & just being in the beauty the world has to offer...one of which the horse is a part of ❤
