Hey, this is Dr. Alicia, and I am here with Freya as part of George's wild horse tool kit, starter kit for the horses and understanding how we can actually help our horses from the very get-go, before we even make any decisions on what they’re going to do or how we’re going to move them. So my background is as an interspecies communicator, and I also recently completed, in the last four years, a PhD with the wild horses using my Insync Body Assessment and Fascia Release Technique. I was not planning on doing a PhD; this is where telepathy and body work come in very handy. I was listening to the horses that asked me to do this work.
So today, what we’re going to do? Reya is a two-year-old. She has, um, she’s just starting to offer touch, but we haven’t touched her. We’ve allowed her to touch George and myself if she feels like it. But what we’re going to do today is go through an Insync Body Assessment and Fascia Release Technique session with her. So there’ll be different points that I’m touching on her body, going from her face all the way down her back and underneath her chest and her belly, to just get an idea of where she’s at in her own space, in her own body. Um, it will help us reconnect to—it will help us understand how to reconnect with her essence, but it’ll also help her reconnect with her own essence. Because, as we know, a lot of the horses that get gathered, you know, they’re chased by helicopters; they’re separated from their parents; they go into trucks; they’ve never been in—there’s a lot of chaos; there’s a lot of commotion. So it’ll just give us a good baseline for how she’s feeling, if she’s got any unrecognized pain or discomfort in her body, and it’ll also—if she’s got tightness—is that can be released through her fascia tissue. And I do fascia tissue work off-body, through the quantum energy field, um, because touching her would just be… so I can work with her at a distance. We’re probably about, I don’t know, 15 feet, and um, we’ll be able to see what’s actually honestly and authentically taking place in her body and can release it for her. That helps her system relax more; it helps her feel less tension. If you know, there are times she’s reaching out to George, but there’s going to be times when George reaches out to her, and if she’s got unrecognized pain, we kind of found that that they—they will, especially as a wild horse protecting themselves—they will block it. So what releasing that tension beforehand does is it allows for easier connection and communication and ease of training and understanding. Really, my research is really about understanding Energy Medicine with animals and also understanding, um, their consciousness through telepathic communication.
So I’m going to start working with Reya. Sorry, I just dropped my hand. And where I’m going to start is at the tops of her nostrils. So you’ll be able to watch her in real time without me touching her, and I’m not sending her telepathic communications that I want her to do anything, just touching points on her body. We’ll see what she’s tuned into; we’ll see if she’s got tightness; we’ll see what can release; and we’ll also see if she’s got a progression of being able to feel calmer and more comfortable in her own body. Okay, so where I’m going to get started is touching at the top of her nostrils and just see—sometimes the fascia tissue gets torqued. So clearly she’s aware that something different is going on, cuz she has not faced me and she has not been this present—kind of shook her head yes. So what’s happening in her tissue is that the left side, top nost—top of the nostril—pulled back a little bit towards her chest, and the right side is forward a little bit. So I move my hands, and I just gently release the fascia tissue—her body—through the quantum field. Somebody else is releasing too. Okay, the next point, going up, is about three inches up on her nose, just going up her face. So at that second point, and Harmony’s right next to us, and she’s releasing, which is funny, cuz that’s how quantum entanglement works—everybody in the field receives the, uh… For her, she can eat; she can do whatever she wants. And if something comes up that’s really out of whack, she might show us how it’s feeling to her. Okay, so that… Okay, three is another three inches up on her nose, and what we’ve got is the right side is pulled back a little bit; left side is forward a little bit. Fourth point on her face is below her nose band, so the left side is pushed back a little bit; right side is forward a little bit, and… walk forward or even… So I’m not even looking at her right now; I’m just feeling her fascia tissue there—blowing out. So that just got released at the fourth point on her nose. The fifth point on her nose is right about at her… So there’s nothing shifted back up or down; it just feels like it’s a little tight and constricted inward. So she’s blowing out and releasing some of that energy that got stuck in her fascia tissue, and I’m not asking her for anything; I’m not communicating with her; not asking her to do anything. Six point on her face is a little bit above the nose band; the left side is pushed back a little bit; the fascia tissue is compressed backward a little bit on the right side; she’s pushed forward a little bit. So I’m going to release that, and this is all her—I’m literally just releasing fascia tissue, and I’m on—CLE points—which she’s doing is completely up to her. I’m on—releasing these points—and then anything from her body—I’m pretty neutral. Okay, seven point, about two inches below her eyes, and I’m going right up the midline of her face, and I’m about an inch—about two inches off the midline, one inch on each side. So the seventh point on her face feels okay—giv[ing] her a little bit of a licking and chewing. The eighth point, I’m going to go right into the corners of her eyes, because sometimes the tissue gets—old—old there, and it’s not that it necessarily affects the eyeball, but it can affect the way the—I would say almost like a tent—it can affect the way the guide wires around the eyes move; that can affect how she perceives the world; that can affect how she emotionally and psychologically relates to things. So I like to check that point, number one, because the horses told me to, but number two, what I found in my research is that when that is balanced, they have a more balanced sense of self. So her posture might shift a little bit; she might hold herself a little bit differently. And horses, you know, they can get smacked in the eye; they can bang into fences; they can bang into, you know, we have, um, all different kinds of things. So it’s just always good—I like to check that point for them because it really helps with their sense of confidence and sense of self. Okay, that was—it was a little lower on the right, a little popped up on the left, so we release that. I’m going to her eyebrow point, right in the corner where her eyebrows… So on this one, the left side is pulled down; it’s pulled back; right side is forward, so we’re just releasing that for [Music] her. Okay, we go right to the center of her forehead and check if those two sides of her head feel balanced. Left side’s definitely a little tighter; she’s got a slight—a little bit of a headache—going from that left side to the corner of her eye—a little bit of pressure—feels like she might have banged herself in her cheekbone. So we’re just kind of releasing all that tension for her. There we go. Okay, now I’m going to come up in front of her ears—the point right in front of the opening sides of her ears. So the right side is compressed down a little bit; left side is popped up a little bit, so we’re releasing that. And that can always, you know, they can have like little imbalances in their shoulders, like top to bottom or side to side. That point—actually, it’s going to sound ridiculous—how can points on the face affect the rest of the body? But they can, and I think that there’s a lot about science that, even though we understand things at a very reductionistic level, there’s a level that these horses understand about themselves and about their bodies—how their bodies work—and, um, how they’re able to keep themselves healthy and fit that even our modern science still isn’t understanding the full picture of that. That’s why I find it really, really helpful with the telepathic communication, because I can feel and hear and sense exactly what’s going on in her body—that’s her way of telling me, “Here’s what’s happening,” and if I can assist her with it, that helps her feel better; helps regulate her system; makes things easier for her if she doesn’t have to compensate, um, for feeling stuck. But if somebody else outside of her, like, can’t see that she could be experiencing unrecognized pain, and this happens with a lot of horses, and especially a lot of Mustangs—um, worked on close to 200 Mustangs by now—and it’s just very, very interesting, because when we don’t understand what’s happening inside of them, they often get faulted for behavior issues, when the reality is they might be having a body issue. So they’re very energetically sensitive to begin with, as well as strong, but if they’re experiencing something that we can’t see—even if they move wonderfully—but they might have several vertebrae out in their back—it’s just going to keep everybody safer if we can understand what’s taking place in their bodies without even having to touch them, and also recognize we are capable of this, because this is something that I teach the students also—then that dynamic of how we were meant to engage with the animals really helps also bring us back in alignment—in alignment with our greatest gifts and capacities.
Now I’m going to check her poll. So her poll is compressed down on the right and popped up on the left, so just release that. Stopped eating, and she was like, okay. So now I’m going to go to her atlas. So her atlas is pushed up and inward on the left and on the back—on the right—it’s rolled backwards, so I’m—that for her. And again, I’m not asking her to release anything; I’m releasing from the tissue; she’s releasing from her body as the tissue gets released. Okay, now I’m going to go to her cervical one. Now remember, there’s no way I could touch her body; she’s not touchable right now. So this is her deciding and choosing whatever she wants to choose; I’m just helping her release what’s tight in her body. So on her cervical one, the left side is popped up; right side is rolled back, so I’m just going to release the tissue there. On her cervical two, uh, nothing’s out of alignment; we’re just a little more stuck on the left side than on the right. And you might also be asking, like, “You’re not even looking at the horse; how are you able to see what’s happening?” So I practiced Qigong for about 30-plus years, and it has taught me a lot about the quantum reality that we actually live in and what we’re capable of and what the animals know, because they’re pretty much Qigong masters. So I can—I—I know what a spine looks like, and so I can apply that while I’m just kind of looking straight ahead; I can feel into where that spacing is on her, so I know what I’m—she knows what I’m touching, and then we just see the results that happen. I’m not sending her any energy; I’m not doing Reiki; I’m just basically doing an assessment—somewhat maybe like an X-ray, maybe like an MRI—just a little bit more detailed because I can feel what she feels. So on her C3, her C3 is popped up on the left, and it’s, um, compressed down and rolled back a little bit on the right, so I’m just going to release that for her. And I don’t know if you guys can feel this or not, but what’s starting to happen is there’s more of a unification happening and a feeling of that in the energy field—things kind of got quieter; they got a little bit more peaceful; a little bit more connected. And this is what I understand from the horses—this is the way they live in the wild—in that very interconnectedness. All right, so I’m on her C4 now. C4’s got a similar pattern to C3; it’s popped up on the left; compressed down on the right, so just going to release that. A little bit tighter on the left than on the right; it’s a very subtle tightness. So releasing C6… And unlike a lot of other types of work, which is manual therapy, I have found that being able to work off-body can be as effective, if not more effective, than manual therapy. And all I’m doing is just helping her release tissue, and then she does the rest, which is why she is not, um, like tied up. First and foremost, we couldn’t even get a halter on her at this point, where—where she is—having been here for about one week, and, um, yeah, so it’s just—it’s easier for the animals; it’s easy for myself; it’s easy for the people that learn this because we can work on them anywhere. Okay, that’s our C7. So as soon as I got to C7, it’s compressed down and pushed in on the right, and on the left it’s pushed in towards the center, so I’m just releasing that. She’s having her own… Okay, on her T1, T1 feels okay; it’s a little tighter on the left—not much. T2 okay. T3. So this—just kind of the way that the animal showed it to me—this allows me to check them really like from head to tail and really get a feel for what’s happening in their body, not just on a physical level—like physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually. She gets to process whatever she needs to, and I don’t have to, um, I don’t have to speak about what I think it is; I’m just helping her release the tissue, and she’ll show us what—what it felt like for her—the behavior shift and personality shift, and sometimes even the coat shifts in—in quality. You can—a dry coat—and then we finish this, and all of a sudden the coat is bright and shiny. So I think the animals have a lot to teach us about the natural medicine and what we’re capable of. T6—we’re a little bit rolled back on the right; a little popped up on the left and pulled out to the left. Seven… And the reason why I like to share these is you can see what’s happening in real time. Like, probably—maybe we’ll edit this into like a couple of segments just for time purposes, but I don’t want to tell you what’s happening or what I think it is; it’s just like—I’ll show you what I’m doing, and then you just watch the horse, and you see how the horse responds to it. I don’t think my opinion doesn’t—my opinion doesn’t matter that much. T9. Okay, T9 is pushed in on the right—in towards the midline—and on the left it’s popped up a little bit, so we’re going to release that. And because quantum entanglement does exist, Kira might have come in because she felt like, “Hey, what’s going on here? I want to—I want to hang out in this energy field.” So I am working through the subtle body, tapping into her fascia tissue and seeing what’s tight and restricted. And when we get into the subtle body, there’s a lot we could understand, but it—the animals—the horses keep it really, really simple; it’s just like, “Fix what’s tight; let it go,” and the rest of the body just starts to kind of magically compensate. So on her T10, her T10 is rolled forward on the right, and on the left it’s rolled back and pushed in, so I’m releasing that for her. And you can see when there are things that are taking place—if I release it—I’m not asking her to respond; I’m not asking her actually for anything, but she picks it up in her body. Okay, T12 is a little bit restricted; it’s high on the left, and on the right it’s kind of like a little bit of a 45-degree angle, so releasing that for her. And these are just things that—even if you have the chiropractor come out, even if you have the vet come out—the—we can get to some of it, but I’ve been finding through my research that the fascia tissue really holds a phenomenal set of information to work with these animals—help them rebalance their bodies, their emotions, their psychology and their spiritual connection and their essence to their—to themselves. T13—the little rolled forward on the right; the little rolled back on the left. Can’t make this stuff up. This is also why we want to know what’s going on in our horses, whether they’re wild horses or whether they’re domesticated horses, because horses can be really good poker players; they’re—they’re prey animals, so they try to tell us a lot of the times what’s going on with them, but we don’t always listen so well. So working this way and letting the horse tell us what’s happening, just by going through systematically—going through their body—it makes a big difference for them and for us. Okay, our T14 is rolled forward a little bit on the right; on the left it’s compressed down and pushed inward. So… T15—tiny bit rolled back on the right; tiny bit raised on the left—just releasing. T16 is, um, it’s good—just open wider. T17—little bit rolled back on the left; a little bit rolled forward on the right and a little bit compressed down on the right. So… T7. Okay, T18—little bit compressed down on the right and rolled back; little bit popped up on the [Music] left. So, you know, overall—might a chiropractor find these? Maybe. Might a vet find these? Probably not, because that’s not how they were trained to look. Um, might a body worker find these? Maybe, maybe. Um, but a lot of the times when we’re doing manual therapy with them, we’re doing what we think they need. I’m just asking, as I test each point, “How is this feeling for you?” So one of the things they’ve also showed me—I’m going to go to her lumbar one, which is definitely rolled back on the right and compressed down and popped up on the left—when we just ask them what they need, not only does it feel safer for them, it helps them trust us more—more at an essence level—that we understand and we can respect their being, and that we’re going to ask them not like, you know, “Hey, I want you to do this,” but “How you feeling today? You okay to do this today?” That’s two very different conversations. And for me, I don’t really ride anymore, but I always want to know how is the horse before I do anything. I don’t want to assume just because they look good and just because they’re not lame; I don’t want to ever assume they don’t have unrecognized pain, because I’ve—through my research of working with hundreds and hundreds of horses and thousands of dogs—it—it’s—it’s something that’s just respectful. I’m going to ask you to do something—if I’m going to ask you to get on your back, I should know—even if you look good—I should know how you’re feeling. So while people used to think, “He was like woo-woo and weird,” and this stuff—working off-body was really weird—I’m on her L2 right now, which is compressed down on the right and popped up on the left—it’s not so weird. Like, we have these capacities. I’m not doing this because I think I’m a wonderful person; I’m doing this because this is—they showed me—this is what we’re capable of. So there’s a lot of things that the horses want to teach us, especially in this wild horse starter kit—it’s really, really important to understand—wild isn’t the same as domestic. Yes, we’re dealing with a horse, but we’re dealing with totally different awarenesses and subtleties, and there’s a lot of things we can learn from the horses. So now I’m on her L3, and it’s balanced, but it’s pulled into the center—just opening up for her. And what I would say to anyone is, “Don’t believe anything I’m saying; watch your—picking off from the horse—you know, watch how the horse is changing; watch if you sense or you can feel the shift in heart.” This is not about believing what I say; it’s like—watch. I’m not a show person; I’m not a tell person; I’m a show person. So, you know, observe what you’re picking up. Her L5 is definitely compressed down on the right and pulled back on the left; it’s popped up and pushed into the center. So here’s a two-year-old that you kind of go, “There, she moves fine; she’s totally fine,” and then you start to see all the subtle things going on with her—to help her release more, help her feel more comfortable in her own body, for her to feel her own baseline in her own essence, as she feels safe in her body. That’s probably one of the biggest things you can ever offer to a horse. L5 is compressed down and back—pulled in—on the right. Okay, L6 is pretty jammed; it’s compressed down on the right and pushed in, and it’s compressed in on the left and pushed up. So there’s certain things that are not—going to—would not be comfortable for her if you started asking her to do certain things, which the average person would just say, “Okay, she’s two; you know, she came off the range; she’s nervous,” but if somebody started pushing her around—and that’s why I love George’s Qigong work with horses so much because he asks—he doesn’t push; he doesn’t come in with a halter; he doesn’t come in, you know, trying to move their feet—he starts a conversation first and foremost—“How you doing? How you feeling?” It gives the horse the opportunity to come to him in the way that they feel comfortable, which is so vital for being able to not just train a horse, but if you’re going to train a horse—that horse’s body and that horse’s being was gifted to them from the Creator—they have every right to that body. We start working with them; that’s a privilege—it’s not a right. And so to be able to understand what is taking place inside their bodies, but also in the training—not to just get their feet to move how you want them to move, but are they comfortable? Do they feel safe? Do they want to be in partnership with you—not just that you can move them around. So if you started moving her around with her T6 this jammed—she’s a flight animal—I mean, she’ll still move, and if she’s with the other horses she can handle it, but I wouldn’t want somebody to get on her back if her T6 was that locked up. Now she’s not lame, and she’s in a new place, and she’s a wild horse, so she’s got to kind of think in terms of, “I got to keep moving,” but how much better is it if we can understand what’s taking place and help her so as she domesticates she can still feel—feel safe in her own body again. Okay, L6 is open. L7 good. Take a little bit compressed down on the right; little popped up on the left—releasing. [Music] Up good—little back on left; little forward on right. [Music] Now, did she get that in the wild? Did she get that when she got put on a trailer? Did she get that when she was in the home? We don’t always know, but if that uh—L6 is that up, it’s going to create more fear in her; she’s not going to be as open and as receptive—maybe—maybe for communicating, connecting—but in terms of if she gets saddled to—to be ridden, that would have been really unfair. That if that wasn’t released, it would have been unfair to ask her to move the way you want her to move if that, um, L6 was still locked up. All right, so now I’m going to come around the front of her chest—my hands would be around her shoulders—and I’m checking the psoas muscles. She feels balanced there; she’s actually pretty balanced—she’s tiny bit tighter on the left than on the right, but both sides feel pretty good. I’m going to check her sternum, which is off to the right a little bit, so I’m just going to release that to get back and centered for her. And now I’m going to come from her sternum; I’m just going to draw a line all the way down her chest, in between her legs, all the way down her belly to her umbilical cord point. And this—what the horses showed me about this—is more their emotional centers—back is more their will centers; belly line is more the emotional center—so nervous system—ability to stay present and confident even if something is happening that she’s not sure about. If her diaphragm is pulled up, she’s going to be way more fly-off-the-handle. That’s a little bit more relaxed; she’s going to have an easier time starting to understand more about how to take care of herself and if she’s safe in a particular environment. Okay, so she’s pulled up from her diaphragm; her posterior tissue is pulled upward a little bit, so I’m just gently relaxing that down for her and releasing it—her. So there’s definitely—she’s having me hold like right at her solar plexus. So the one thing that she is—to communicate to me here—is that this was an emotional point of like losing her mom, being taken away from her family and not being able to understand what was taking place. She said there was just a lot of chaos, and it’s like, um, still having like a little bit of a freeze in it. So when she goes to take a deep breath with this freeze in it, it’s going to take her a longer time to be able to take a deep breath. So a lot of trainers would go to the theory of, you know, running the animal around till they take a deep breath, but if you’re running an animal around and moving their feet to get them to take a deep breath in a space, especially where they’ve got an emotional trauma, you’re forcing them through a trauma instead of allowing them the space—by helping them release the tissue that’s stuck—she should be able to release that first, in all fairness to her, before—before she gets run around a pen and then tries to figure out, “Okay, what does this person want from me?” She should be able to feel safe enough in her own body—that is the respect, in my experience and opinion, that we should be having for these beings. If we’re going to ask to get on their backs, we should know who they are and what they’re about a little bit more deeply than just okay. So that—now we’re going down her belly line, and so now is reconnecting her—have her umbilical cord point to ground her back to her original blueprint when she was connected with her mom. So any of the trauma that she’s experienced over this time—I can’t tell you it’s going to 100% go away—but I can tell you it does at least help them remember their baseline of who they were before they experienced trauma, and I think that’s very important—not just for the horses, but I think that this is something that happens with humans too. So the research that I’ve been doing with the horses in a non-confrontational or abusive or, you know, destructive way has also been showing me a lot about not just their natural science but about our natural science as well, and how much different it is than what we have been continually told—of how complicated this is. Okay, so good—that [Music] I’m—and now I’m going to go back around and check her hips. And so her left hip is a little bit higher—like her right hip—a little bit dropped. Again, important for—if you go to move her around and train her—want her as balanced as possible, otherwise she’s going to have to compensate with things, and she’ll probably be able to compensate for a while, you know, but if we’re going to ask a horse to get on their back, we really, really should give them the respect that we know that they feel comfortable in their own bodies and that they’re a willing participant. And just because you can move a horse around a pen doesn’t matter—if you’re using something small, doesn’t matter if you’re using something big—if you don’t understand what’s actually happening inside of that horse. And I think this research is going to be able to really show us how much more…
We're able going to be able to learn about the horses themselves; that's a—it's a pretty big deal, you know. Anytime you're asking to get on dogs, they're different. You're not asking to get on your dog's back; a horse, you're asking them to submit their body to you. If you don't understand the subtle or unrecognized pain or tension they could be in, that could create a lot of problems that we are actually putting on for. And the horses are here to actually help us understand how we can have a best relationship with them, where we understand as much about them as possible.
Okay, so Freya's hips are back in balance, and I'm just going to put her in an energy healing grid. And what this is going to do is just support her system. It's an invisible bubble that she already has, but this is going to help her move forward from where she is now. As opposed to a lot of times when people do, um, muscle work, we're working the muscle, but we're not working the, um, insertion and origin. And so when I release from her, I'm releasing so that it feels like the muscle is getting strummed, so it releases at the origin and the insertion. So it tends to last long, and it tends to often have—just from what we've noticed, myself and my students and and other colleagues—it just has a longer-lasting effect. And so when I put her in this energy grid, this is to help support her body for where she is now, moving forward.
So, um, I did a—um, I was invited to teach a workshop at Carolyn Resnik's Ranch and share this PhD research, this science research that I'm doing with the horses. And one of the things that, um, came up, and Carolyn pointed it out—so this is the before, the before, before we ask them to move, before we ask them for anything—I think it's just really vital that since this information has always been in the energy field, I did not discover it; I just learned about it and remembered it. We do have to start asking ourselves a question, you know, before the before: How can I assist this being in and of themselves to feel safe and comfortable in their own body and as connected or reconnected? Because there's a lot of trauma that happens when they come off the range and they're being chased by helicopters and pushed into pens and separated from their families. How, just in terms of my work, because like I said, I'm not a trainer, right? But in terms of my work and my research, how can I help us remember that this was the original natural science that all of the horses know? And how can we start putting that back into the energy field before we ask them for anything? And that, you know, I—I watched Geor work with so many different horses, and I've just watched his way of being where he's just constantly asking the question, "Are we okay being in relationship?" And to me, why watching it, observing it, often times has just brought tears to my eyes, because that's actually the natural language of these animals. They're always asking each other if something's okay or not okay. And why, as humans, would we actually think that we know better than them instead of learning to remember what their authentic language is and put that back into the entire field?
So checking in with Rea, we'll see how she's doing right now. She's just in her Zen zone, and and she's just hanging out, just feeling herself, feeling the energy field that we have here. And, um, yeah, we'll see how it shifts her behaviors or her sense of comfort. Right now, we're just happy that she feels safe enough and comfortable enough. She's been approaching George; she's been approaching me. And we'll just see. She had quite a bit of things out of alignment, and she showed us quite a bit about, you know, her moving and releasing. Because if I just release the tissue, she should be able to move the rest. It's not for me to tell her how to move, and I shouldn't have her tied up. Because if I'm moving energy in her, or energy is moving in her, and she's got to move, well, then she's got to move. So, um, well, we'll keep tabs on her, but I feel like at least she'll get a chance to release a lot of what was in there that does not have to be released through the movement or the focusing on somebody else during the training process. We'll see how she does. Thanks for watching.
