STUFF OF

LEGENDS

K

nown for their stamina

and loyalty, horses

push through, even in

the most desperate times.

Think War Horse, and all the

millions of horses around

the world that serve in some

way, and you get an idea of

the qualities that defi ne this

awesome beast. The horse is

a symbol of power, freedom

and nobility. It was

commonly thought to

represent the four elements

of earth, air, fi re and water.

The Celts associated it with

the victory of war,

and believed it

belonged to the

sun god, while the

Ancient Greeks

thought the sea

god Poseidon was

responsible for its

creation. To the

Native Americans,

the horse was a

messenger,

bringing spirit

knowledge and

earth wisdom to

the tribe.

Harness your horse power

Need a power boost or

just to move forwards in

your life? The horse can

help. Light a candle to

represent fi re, place a glass

of water next to it as a nod

to Poseidon’s link with the

horse. Burn a sage smudge

stick or sage essential oil to

represent the element of air,

and fi nally hold a piece of

quartz crystal in both hands.

Say, ‘Spiritual steed hear my

plea, a call to arms and

victory. Enhance my power,

improve my will, so I can

climb over any hill.’ To fi nish

sip the water, and keep the

quartz with you as a charm

to draw stamina and

strength.

NATURAL HEALERS

T

oday, we don’t need horses to carry us

about the countryside or into town to do our

shopping, but they can help us in other

ways. Being in equine company and connecting

to the body language is thought to have

benefi cial effects on health and wellbeing,

putting us in a positive frame of mind, and

helping with stress. Many energy workers believe

that horses have hugely expansive auras, the

energy fi eld around the body. This helps them

reach out to us on a spiritual level and intuitively

give us what we need to heal.

Harness your horse power

The next time you see a horse, whether in the

fl esh or as a picture or another object, say a

silent hello and welcome the animal’s healing

energy into your life. You’ll feel instantly brighter

and more upbeat!
