energy, I located the specific area below the withers at the base of the neck that was the primary issue. Once I started the clearing process, this horse shifted and became very internalized and quiet. You could see him withdraw into himself. His eyes went blank, his head dropped. I continued clearing. After a while, he began re-surfacing and displayed lots of appropriate releasing on the physical level. Yawning, shaking, releasing gas, that sort of thing.

Often the horses enjoy some gentle movement around the arena after the session. The fabulous news was that when this horse walked off, his gait was fluid! No trace of the stiffness that he had 45 minutes before. When I checked in with the owner months later, he was still doing great!

The second principle is that once you find an energetic imbalance, you have the ability to re-balance it. This article introduces a simplified version of Pranic Healing you can use on your own horse is to clear the blockages you find in the spine. This same process also works to clear blockages in the legs, particularly around the joints. Here’s what you do. With the understanding that each of us has an energy field around our hands, take one hand, flat palm with fingers together and at the place you located the stuck energy, use your hand in a sweeping motion. You can visualize a large white energy mitt around your hand. Always move your hand from head to tail, and from centerline out. This process almost looks like “air-petting,” but what is really happening is that your energy hand is loosening and gathering up the stuck energy from your horse’s spine.

After about five sweeps, you have a good handful of old energy, and it’s time to transfer it away. But you don’t want to just throw it on the ground. So make sure you have a plastic tub (about a liter) with salt water (about a handful of salt). The salt water is the energy garbage can. Just toss it in there. As you repeat this sweeping process, you may notice the thickness of the energy blockage smoothing out. Just continue doing this sweeping until the energy feels clear. Then move on to the next spot. If your horse starts yawning, you will know that he’s feeling the energy shift as well. After you are done, flush the salt water down the toilet.

Pranic Healing to Address Choke

This simplified Pranic Healing technique has many applications. In addition to clearing the spine and the legs before and after exercise, another area I frequently use this in is cases of choke. One of the contributing factors of choke, in my experience, is that the energy anatomy of the neck is out of balance, which impacts the function of the esophagus. In this situation, simply perform the local sweeping technique mid-way down the neck to address the throat energy center and the entire length of the neck on the left side (at the front) to address the esophagus. Local sweeping on the throat can also be done in a preventative way, for a horse you know to be of high risk of repeat incident. The goal is to keep the energy feeling smooth and clear.

The best application of Pranic Healing is as an adjunct to your standard veterinary care. Beyond the simplified Pranic Healing technique described here, there is the 7-step protocol process that more comprehensively addresses complicated and chronic conditions and can be used to accelerate self-healing after an injury or illness. The beauty of Pranic Healing is that it is protocol-based and anyone can use it because there is a step-by-step process for every condition, which takes the guesswork out of the equation. From joint support and back care, to respiratory and digestive conditions, Pranic Healing has a protocol for that! Learn more at www.PranicHealingforHorses.com .
