The Effectiveness of Craniosacral as a Distant Animal Healing Technique for Horses

As a craniosacral practitioner, today I want to talk about something special: using craniosacral technique to help horses, even from a distance. You might wonder how that works, especially since we usually think of therapy as something that needs hands-on contact. But craniosacral technique is different. It can work even if I’m not physically with the horse! This kind of distant animal healing works by connecting with the animal’s energy field to promote balance and well-being. It can be done remotely, allowing healing without physical contact. Let me elaborate!

The concept

Craniosacral is a gentle technique that focuses on the central nervous system, which is the brain and spinal cord. This system controls a lot of what happens in the body. If there’s tension or a blockage in this system, it can cause pain, discomfort, or stress in the body. It helps by gently releasing this tension, allowing the body to heal itself.

With horses, craniosacral technique is very helpful because they are sensitive animals. Horses often hold stress or tension in their bodies, especially if they’ve been injured, overworked, or is feeling anxious. This technique helps release that tension and makes them feel more comfortable, relaxed, and balanced.

How Does Distant Craniosacral Healing Work?

Now, here’s where it gets interesting! While craniosacral technique is usually done with light touch, it can also be done from a distance. This is called distant healing, and it works because everything in the world is connected by energy. Horses, like all living beings, have energy fields. When I focus my intention and connect with a horse’s energy, I can tune into their craniosacral system, even if they’re far away.

During a distant session, I sit quietly and focus on the horse. I use my mind and energy to connect with their body and feel where there might be tension or blockages. Once I find the areas that need help, I use my intention to encourage the body to release that tension, just as I would if I were there in person.

Is Distant Craniosacral Technique Effective for Horses?

In my experience, yes, distant craniosacral technique can be very effective for horses. I’ve worked with horses that were hundreds of miles away, and their owners reported big improvements after the sessions. Horses often respond very well to energy-based therapies because they are so in tune with their bodies and surroundings.

I’ve seen horses become calmer, more relaxed, and less tense after distant craniosacral sessions. Some even show signs of relief during the session, like yawning, licking their lips, or dropping their heads. These are signs that they’re releasing tension and feeling more at ease.

What to Expect During a Distant Session for Your Horse

If you’ve never had a distant craniosacral session for your horse, here’s how it usually works. Before the session, I’ll ask you to find a quiet place where your horse can relax, like in their stall or pasture. You don’t need to do anything special—just make sure they’re comfortable. I’ll then begin the session on my end, tuning into their energy and craniosacral system.

During the session, your horse might start to relax or show signs of release, like yawning or shifting their weight. Afterward, I’ll check in with you to see how your horse is doing and if you’ve noticed any changes.

To conclude

Craniosacral is a wonderful distant animal healing option for horses, especially if they’re far away or too anxious for in-person work. I’ve seen it help many horses feel better, and I believe it can help your horse too!
