The Power of Intent: 'Love Energy'

All the most extraordinary riders and trainers have one important thing in common. They convey 'love' to the horses. I don't mean they 'love' horses or that they show kindness but that they actually project loving thoughts directly to the horse. This special 'something' sets them apart as having an unobtainable gift when it is actually possible for us all to have with our 'intent'. Yes, there are talented people but the best of the talented convey 'love energy' and you can too!
In the book "HEAL THYSELF", Dr. Pieter DeWet says that DNA actually contains the script for healing. Switch on the script by affecting the DNA through 'love energy' and the body moves away from a sickened state of imbalance toward a wholesome state of balance. I believe this can happen in our interactions with the horse. And I will go so far as to say, I experience this first hand with them on a regular basis and have seen how 'love energy' can change and restore them in minutes....even seconds. Lasting change needs time and patience but it begins and continues to be nourished through a singular spark of 'love energy'. If you think this is easy, think again! It happens ONLY when this intent flows out of self-less humility and absolute genuineness. Any imitation will not do.
Remember: a horse knows the difference between the intent of a person who accidentally bumps into him with a pitchfork and one who strikes him with it. He recognizes this with absolute clarity. His DNA knows it! And so with 'love energy'. Fake it and the DNA knows the truth and will respond well always to truth. When a horse has been mentally(and emotionally) damaged the cellular change from the impact of 'love energy' is there but you may not recognize it! In time, however, it will be inevitable that the positive changes will reveal themselves.
In "HEAL THYSELF" Dr. DeWet mentions "THE DIVINE MATRIX" by Gregg Braden who describes experiments done with DNA in a laboratory where researchers holding vials of DNA were able to affect the coiling of the DNA strand simply by their thoughts!!!
Similarly, Leonard Laskow MD in his "HEALING WITH LOVE" talks about experiments done with bacteria where the bacteria exhibited protective effects from the destructive power of anti-biotics when the researchers projected love and acceptance onto the bacteria! This sounds crazy but it is powerful information for us as riders and trainers.
If we can envision that horses are like beautiful sculptures hidden deep within huge boulders and that our sculpting reveals what is already there, we can transfer this idea to the effects of our projection of genuine 'love energy'. 'Love energy' guarantees that we will not chip away at the boulder and damage the horse inside it. 'Love energy' emanating from perfectly aligned intent(aligned with God himself)will always do good---will always bring about harmony---will always heal and restore. What this implies is that we must strive to focus the mind properly so it can direct proper intent through the conduits, both seen and unseen, of the body. Intent matters!
