“Equine-imity combines the health benefits of Eastern energy arts with the joy and healing power of horses. Through compelling storytelling, Dr. Kane shows how practicing mindfulness and softness with horses develops in us the internal peace needed for a less stressful life.”—Mark Rashid, author of A Journey to Softness

What you will learn from Equine-imity Equine-imity is written primarily for the non-equestrian, non-meditator. For those who already practice mindfulness meditation; for those who have, or have had horses; and for those who have never even touched a horse, Equine-imity teaches: •Horses as models of embodiment and teachers of physical, emotional, and spiritual health •A reappraisal of the human body as beautiful no matter how it appears •Applied principles from exercise physiology, sports medicine, natural horsemanship, and equine-assisted therapy •The Stanford four-phase Equine-imity somatic horsemanship program, proven to reduce stress •Resources for how to locate horses within half an hour of your home or work Our bodies are our temples and horses lead us to the altar.
