Mindfulness invites us to disconnect from media distractions and become fully present, tuning into the sights, sounds, and sensations of the moment. It helps clear the mind of stress, worries, and overthinking, allowing for deeper relaxation and awareness. Horses, naturally attuned to the present, are susceptible to our subtle body language and emotions. When we combine mindfulness with time spent around horses, their presence can guide us toward emotional awareness and healing from past trauma. Jennifer Cohen Harper highlights this powerful practice, noting its rise during the pandemic lockdown as a meaningful way for people to reconnect with nature and themselves |
