          WHAT IS ENERGY?
          There are different types of energy. There is the energy you bring to your day through your feelings or mood. There is the energy you feel when you walk into a room of people, or when someone in your family is having a strong emotion. 

          How can we talk about this element we refer to as “energy"? Even though most of us may not see or understand how energy works we can understand it in some contexts.We turn on a light switch and a light comes on—energy has moved from one place to another to create a result. When there is a break in the wire the light may not come on or perhaps it may respond intermittently. The same thing happens with people and horses. 

          When we wake in the morning and have to do something unpleasant, our energy is different than when we wake up excited about what the day will bring. Many things can affect how we feel and what energy we bring to an activity. When we connect ourselves with our horse in an energetic way amazing things happen—a conversation of which we were previously unaware. This is only one aspect of how the CEGA Team will help you and your horse to reconnect.

          Some people talk about the energetic system within a body as the Chakra system. The Chakra could be considered the generator which creates the flow of energy through the meridian (wiring) system. People have been working with the energetic system within the body for centuries through forms like massage, yoga, Tai Chi, Healing touch, non-verbal communication, and many other ways. CEGA can help you explore a richer deeper more complete form of connecting to your horse through mindfulness of energy.
