Reiki, a type of energy healing that started in Japan, is famous for its ability to promote relaxation and healing. When blended with the calming presence of horses, it creates a unique and restorative experience. Practicing Reiki in a serene paddock not only enhances the benefits of this ancient technique but also deepens the connection between the healer and the horse.


In this post, we will explore the benefits of conducting Reiki sessions alongside horses. We'll shed light on the synergy between horse and human energies and show how this combination can support the practitioner as they work with clients..


Understanding the Connection Between Reiki and Horses


Horses have a remarkable ability to sense energy, giving them a key role in Reiki sessions. Studies show that horses can detect human emotion, responding to feelings of fear, anxiety, or calm. For instance, a 2015 study indicated that horses could pick up on emotional cues with over 90% accuracy. This sensitivity makes them excellent companions during Reiki treatments.


Why Equine Supported Reiki?

Working with a horse during sessions can amplify the calming effects of Reiki, as their natural energy fosters a peaceful environment.  

In a space where their silent wisdom meets sacred energy, together, we unravel what no longer serves you.  Some releases need no words… just presence, patience, and a creature who knows your heart before you do.


The Healing Power of Nature


Conducting Reiki sessions in a paddock offers a tranquil setting that greatly enhances the experience. Surrounded by greenery and the soothing sounds of nature, participants can easily detach from the stresses of modern life.


Nature facilitates grounding, helping practitioners achieve a meditative state more readily. The birdsong and gentle breeze in the leaves can soothe the mind. Being among horses in their natural habitat further enriches this experience, allowing both the humans and the animals to feel more relaxed and connected.


Creating a Safe Space for Healing


Horses add an important element of safety and trust to Reiki sessions. These gentle creatures are known for their non-judgmental nature, allowing clients to express and release their emotions freely. This environment of safety can lead to deeper emotional healing, enabling practitioners to safely release emotions freely.


When individuals feel secure, they can explore their inner thoughts and experiences more deeply. The calming presence of horses acts as a grounding force, helping them access emotional blockages and guiding them toward healing, often resulting in significant emotional breakthroughs.



Emotional Release and Energy Healing


Reiki sessions with horses can promote emotional release in a powerful way. The presence of horses often brings a sense of safety, comfort and acceptance.


During these sessions, as practitioners channel their energy, they may find that the horse's supportive energy aids in identifying emotional blockages. Many participants report leaving these sessions feeling lighter and more balanced, with a deeper understanding of their emotional landscape.


Who’s it for? 


  • Overthinkers who can’t ‘quiet’ their mind 

  • Empaths & HSPs needing grounding 

  • Anyone with chronic stress, pain, or emotional blocks 

  • Anyone  who would like to experience this modality surrounded by nature and these beautiful wise souls.

Horses feel what you’ve carried too long— 

the weight your body remembers 

but your mind has forgotten. 


Final Thoughts on Reiki and Horses


Incorporating Reiki sessions with horses in a tranquil paddock offers numerous benefits for both the practitioner and the horse. The combination of the horse's intuitive energy and the grounding effects of nature creates a healing atmosphere.


Embracing the energy of horses during Reiki sessions can lead to a transformative journey towards self-discovery and emotional well-being.


As the gentle flow of energy combines with the presence of these majestic animals, the healing journey becomes richer and more profound. The increasing awareness of the benefits of this healing synergy paves the way for new and exciting possibilities in holistic practices.
