Equine Facilitated Learning - Is it for Me?
Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) is an equine experience, without riding, to explore energy, non-verbal communication, mindfulness, inner clarity and learn something about ourselves, with the horse as our mirror. A parallel field to equine therapy, EFL is more focused on personal growth, understanding energetic communication and finding our own insights.
EFL is great for those who love animals, especially horses. Even those afraid of horses, can have a safe experience, and an opportunity to release old fears. EFL is a safe environment to be with a horse, where you learn to to “feel outward” beyond yourself and your thinking, and learn to gauge the energy of another and respond accordingly.
Using guided meditation to relax first, or even several deep breaths, can help our nervous system relax, drop out of our heads and begin to feel and notice more of our external environment. Horses are masters at this! They are the poster child of embodiment, and sensory perception. They live from their hearts and guts, and constantly sense the seen and unseen.
