Would you like to use your imagination to deepen your connection with your horse or dog? In this episode, you’ll learn how to use your imagination to not only deepen your connection with your horse or dog but also increase the effectiveness of bodywork and training sessions. 

Key Takeaways:

  1. Your brain doesn't strongly distinguish between vivid imagination and physical experience—"what you imagine, you embody."
  2. Visualizing a connection of light with your animal creates real physiological changes in your body that your animal can detect.
  3. Animals constantly read the world through somatic and energetic cues, sensing your tension, intention, and inner state.
  4. This practice creates a "connection loop"—a feedback cycle where your shifts cause your animal to respond, deepening the bond.
  5. Intentionally sending loving energy increases heart coherence, which science shows can influence those nearby.
  6. This approach helps bring love back to the center when worry, fear or expectations might be pushing it aside.
  7. The visualization "turbocharges" hands-on work like Debono Moves, creating a synergistic effect.
  8. Even just one minute of this practice can reduce your stress and invite new possibilities for both you and your animal.
