It is helpful to those who have trouble sleeping through the night, fear the dark and the <br />
unknown. </span></div><div></div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">Evening Primrose </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">balances the male and female aspects of the self, and also fosters easier relationships between the sexes. It encourages openness and honesty, truth and trust. Good for those who have a hard time entering relationships, as well as animals involved in breeding or mixed-sex packs. Evening primrose helps create a strong, dependable foundation to support the lightness of beauty of joy with ease. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">"Who are we of the </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">Gaillardia Aristata</span><span lang="en-US"> </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">clan? We are the small yet hearty, the rugged beauty of the American wastelands and deserts brought into your garden to spread laughter and amusement. We bring you strength, courage, fearlessness. We help those in times of need, in times of trouble, to find their center. We ground you, increasing energy and stamina, while cleansing your aura with light. Behold us, and laugh! Behold us and be at ease!" </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">Northern Bush Honeysuckle </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">heals RNA and DNA just as all honeysuckle do, while realigning mass consciousness with the earth and all new, higher energies on this physical plane of existence. It allows for full ascension progression and pulls in the help and healing powers of all the angels and nature devas. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">Indigo Hydrangeas </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">were given to us at a wedding party, beautifully potted in groups of three on each table. All three on our table came home with us, and bloom violently radiant on our property each year in natural hues of indigo and violet. They are, quite simply, the most stunningly colored hydrangeas that we have ever seen in our county, where most plants are a pale light blue. Say our plants "Speak to us. Give us your worries, your fears. Let us transmute them. Let us soothe you. You simply need to reconnect to your highest good, your highest self, your most natural and beneficial state of being. Let us repaint your aura with the vibrant tones of light that are most natural to you. Let us help you reconnect with your spiritual birthright. Insecure? We can help. Bullied? Fearful? Shy? We are here for you." </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">One </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">Pink Hydrangea </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">sits right next to our Indigo Hydrangea, blooming in an entirely different hue, a sweet pink that lightens the heart. It came with the property, growing sparsely in a shady corner, and when we received the others we placed them all on a back interspersed with lilacs in part-sun. Says our pink hydrangea "We all, the hydrangeas, lighten the heart. We are all loving, giving energies that re-light the aura and re-ignite soul connections. When we are pink, as I am, we tend to direct more of our love and healing to your heart center, as opposed to our blue and violet friends who focus more on the state of your mind. We look after matters of the heart. Let us heal you. Let us connect you to love, to pure source energy, that which so many of you call Christ Consciousness. We are here for you." </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">Orange Jewelweed </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">releases guilt and blame. It travels with Poison Ivy for this very reason: for poison ivy grows to remind us of the dangers of violence against other living beings, jewelweed is here to help us aleviate any deep-seated guilt or anger we may feel from violent events, whether from this lifetime or another. Expect great shifts in consciousness when you use this remedy!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">"We, the </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">Magenta Petunias</span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">, are a most unusual color and energy among the plants. We hold incredible vitality. We are fire and water blended most harmoniously. We are here to boost your ability to perform when you feel constrained, to do everything you are wanting no matter the odds. Do you feel like your life, your work, your situation "stinks"? Use us to work within the establishment, shift your reality, allow the world to see and rejoice in your full vitality and power. Use us and see how wonderful life can be with just a few small, simple shifts. Be FULL-filled. Be blessed." </span><span lang="en-US"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">"The fruit which </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">San Marzano Tomatoes </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">bear nourishes you, so many of you, but so few take the time to notice or appreciate our little flowers. Thank you. Thank you! We are happiness, we are clarity. We would share it with you. The health of our fruits is debated and praised by many, but what you need to see is that they are healthful only when you appreciate the entire plant, the entire process that created us. So it is with all plants that create food. If you see only the result, and do not appreciate the entire energy of the plant, you are missing so much! So we have come to you as a flower essence to help you connect to this process, to the energies of tomatoes especially, but also ALL food plants, so that you may better assimilate nutrients and benefit your health with every bite you eat. Our essence will make you more naturally appreciative and blessing of all your food. So be it." </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText3" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">Wood-Sorrel </span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">clears debris from your past and your present path so that you can see you way clearly. It returns you to a state of child-like perfection and anticipation. Particularly good for abuse and neglect victims, so that they can become happy, self-empowered fulfilled individuals. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Rich in B vitamins and sulfur, this nutritional supplement bolsters the body’s natural defenses, while making your horse smell and taste less palatable to insects. Meanwhile, healing herbs ensure that bites heal quickly, also making your horse less attractive to flies. Optimal results occur after the supplement has had time to build up in the body, so be sure and order yours before the bugs come out in full force, and feed 1-2 heaping tablespoons daily. </span></span><br />

Each month’s Crystalline Club brings a new experience and shifts your reality to a different level. We have a guided meditation to show you how to “speak” with your stone’s inner spirit, you will receive a new stone to work with and enjoy, and we’ll talk about our experiences with the previous month’s stone, what happened over the month and discuss how it worked with us. Stones will tend to be the more rare and unusual gemstones, stones that most people haven’t heard of or worked with. Some stones that we have worked with include Eudialyte, Indicolite, Fire Agate, and Larimar. <br />

Experience Reiki Healing with our certified Reiki Masters, Sandra Cointreau and Maya Cointreau. Reiki is a Japanese hands-on healing technique that promotes stress reduction and relaxation. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words: Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use no matter what their religious beliefs or affiliations. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.<br />

Maya Cointreau has been a practicing contemporary shaman for 15 years, and is a Reiki Master. Shamanic healing <br />
couples shamanic journeywork practices with Reiki and other energy healing techniques. During her healing work she works with a pantheon of guides, including Spirit Animals, Goddesses, Archangels, Nature Spirits, Ancestors, and other <br />
non-physical entities working with the light. Shamanic healings focus primarily upon bringing the soul and divine energy matrix of the spirit body into balance, which in turn balances and benefits the physical body. This kind of energy work is particularly well-suited for healing emotional trauma, through a practice called "soul retrieval" that re-integrates <br />
fragments of the soul which are sometimes lost during a traumatic experience. This, in turn, allows the soul a fully <br />
harmonized earth experience, and helps remove fear and sorrow from the emotional body. <br />

Kathy Lalonde help the body to work with optimum efficiency on all levels, returning the balance of yin and yang, <br />
removing excess unbalanced energy, aligning the chakras and healing dysfunctional patterns. Polarity Therapy is a gentle, holistic method of treatment, applicable to many health problems and also useful in maintaining health. It could be said that there is only one disease, the disturbance of the energetic system, with different outcomes depending on the nature of the disturbance, and where it occurs. To overcome these problems Polarity therapy uses a system of gentle bodywork <br />
supported by a specific set of exercises (Polarity Yoga), advice on diet and nutrition, and counseling. It is this energetic approach which differentiates Polarity Therapy from many other forms of bodywork. <br />

(12/21, 1/19, 2/18, 3/18, 4/18)<br />
Come join us for some Native American-style drumming — drumming is free for all ages! We have extra drums and rattles, so come whether you have a drum or not. DON'T MISS our special <b style="color: #cc0000;">Yule Solstice Drum Circle</b> this December -- Yule, Solstice, Full Moon, and Full Lunar Eclipse, all on one day! It's a special time, and it'll be a special evening with warm teas, treats and a blazing yule fire in the hearth as we drum. Upcoming drum circles for 2011 will be held on or near the full moon at 7pm. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="color: #38761d;">The Crystalline Club</b><br />
1st Wednesday of each month, 6:30 - 8 PM<br />
(12/1, 1/5)<br />
Each month’s Crystalline Club brings a new experience and shifts your reality to a different level. We have a guided meditation to show you how to “speak” with your stone’s inner spirit, you will receive a new stone to work with and enjoy, and we’ll talk about our experiences with the previous month’s stone, what happened over the month and discuss how it worked with us. Stones will tend to be the more rare and unusual gemstones, stones that most people haven’t heard of or worked with. Some stones that we have worked with include Indicolite, Eudialyte, Epidote, Fire Agate, Larimar and Alexandrite. <br />
Pre-registration is required so that we can have a stone available for you. <br />
Club fee: $25 (includes stone) <br />
<i>Please note: if you would like to work with the stones but can not attend our meetings, just let us know and we will have the stone and that month’s handouts available for you for $15. Or wait a month, and work with the stone as a crystal essence, available for purchase here on our website. </i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i> </i> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8694755431668534362&postID=2591874484157956182" name="shamanic"></a> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="color: red;">Shamanic Journey Circle</b><br />
This circle meets on the second Thursday of each month from 6-8 PM (9/9, 10/14) and is led by shamanic energy healer and author Maya Cointreau. Commune with your guardian spirits and power animals, journey to power places of wisdom and healing, and experience new levels of Spirit. Shamanic journeys are meditative visualizations, or miniature vision quests, that allow you to access divine wisdom through your subconscious mind. At each open circle we drum, journey twice, and share our experiences. Bring a drum or rattle, pen and paper, something to lie on and an eye mask. Beginners welcome. $15 </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

(12/3, 12/17, 12/31, 1/14, 1/28)<br />
This community-inspired Reiki Share meets every other <b>Friday</b> from 11am-1pm. Saturday reiki shares will resume in the new year. It is open to all Reiki practitioners, whether you are a Master or just beginning. Everyone who comes gives and receives, building their Reiki as well as new friendships. The share often begins with 2-4 people working on a person on the table for at least 10 minutes, then sharing views of what they felt. Then we move on to the next person, until all at each table have experienced the healing for 10 minutes. We find the sharing of perceptions provides useful learning and affirmation on our intuitive physical and ethereal scanning. $10 Donation for use of the space, which is regularly cleared, empowered and blessed by the healers at Earth Lodge. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The share often begins with 2-4 people working on a person on the table for at least 10 minutes, then sharing views of what they felt. Then we move on to the next person, until all at each table have experienced the healing for 10 minutes.

This Holly essence empowers and balances all the forces of nature and the five elements within you to create the strongest clearing effects possible. Parasites, miasms, dark beings and genetic disturbances scurry and flee before it. Damaged cells are purged and you are left feeling clean and clear. If you suffer any de-tox symptoms while taking this essence, drink an 8-ounce glass of water with ¼ teaspoon salt (the higher-vibration the salt, the better: Himalayan, Pure Sea Salt, etc) up to three times a day. Traditionally, holly essence is used to heal and expand the heart chakra, and to alleviate anger and envy while generating acceptance.</span><br />

To accompany my foraged finds, I have been drinking Eastern White Pine tea, simply taking a handful of needles still attached to small branches which are freshly fallen to the ground and steeping them in boiling water for 15 minutes with a dash of honey or agave. The tea is delicious, nutritious, and not at all like pine-sol, I promise! <br />
<div style="border: medium none;">White Pine Bark is an old and trusted remedy for colds and flu. It loosens and expels phlegm from the respiratory tract, easing bronchitis and lung congestion, and its warming qualities stimulate circulation, which may ward off colds and flu before they settle in. The high content of nature's most powerful antioxidants (proanthocyanidins/PCSs/OPCs) in White Pine Bark have made it the focus of much attention in the area of combating free radicals, arteriosclerosis and strokes.</div><br />
<div style="border: medium none;">White Pine Bark is an excellent expectorant and is used to loosen and expel phlegm and mucous excretions from the respiratory system. The inner bark has been a longtime standard herbal remedy for coughs, whooping cough, croup, bronchitis, laryngitis and chest congestion due to colds. </div><br />
<div style="border: medium none;">As a warming and aromatic stimulant, White Pine Bark is said to increase circulation and further help to overcome or prevent the onset of colds and flu by raising circulatory action. </div><div style="border: medium none;">White Pine Bark contains the second highest source (the first is Grapeseed) of nature's most potent antioxidants, tannin compounds, called proanthocyanidins (also called OPCs for oligomeric procyanidins or PCOs for procyanidolic oligomers) that provide a high degree of antioxidant capacity, which fight free radical damage in the body. These compounds allow the body's cells to absorb vitamin C, which is helpful in protecting cells from the free radicals that can bind to and destroy cellular compounds. These qualities may be helpful in building the immune system and fighting invasive material and other infections. They are classified as flavonols, and the way in which these versatile healing compounds are distinct from flavonoids is their simple chemical structure, which allows them to be readily absorbed into the bloodstream. They work actively against fat-soluble and water-soluble oxidants, thus protecting the cells from damage, and their antioxidant activity is thought to have great potential in combating cellular damage caused by foreign infectious attack. </div><div style="border: medium none;">White Pine Bark's OPCs, which may also be derived from Grapeseed, Red Wine, Hops, Pomegranate and various other fruits, nuts and beans are believed to contribute to a lowered incidence of arteriosclerosis and coronary heart problems. White Pine Bark is also a source of resveratrol, which is thought to raise the levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs or “good” cholesterol) in the blood, while decreasing the low-density lipoproteins (LDLs, or “bad” cholesterol) and thereby possibly helping to prevent heart attacks and strokes. It is also said to prevent fat in the bloodstream from sticking together and clogging the arteries, which is thought to promote better circulation of blood throughout the body, especially to the heart. </div><div style="border: medium none;">The inner bark of White Pine Bark (cambium) is the source of resveratrol, a polyphenolic phytoalexin, which is produced in plants that is reputed to have antifungal properties.</div><br />
<div style="border: medium none;">According to recent research (2008) from Peninsula Medical School, England, the resveratrol found in Pine Bark, Grape Skin and Red Wine can protect against cellular damage to blood vessels caused by high production of glucose in diabetes, claiming resveratrol's antioxidant effects are well documented. But the new research establishes the link between high levels of glucose, its damaging effect on cell structure and the ability of resveratrol to protect against and mend that damage. Moreover, resveratrol could be used to block the damaging effect of glucose, which, in turn, might fight the often life threatening complications that accompany diabetes. It could well be the basis of effective diet-based therapies for the prevention of vascular damage caused by hyperglycemia in the future.</div><br />
<div style="border: medium none;">White Pine Bark is considered a diuretic, and as such, encourages the flow of urine, which is said to be very helpful in cases of urinary tract infections and kidney problems.</div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div>Please note: Pregnant Women should probably avoid or limit their intake of White Pine, just to be safe.<br />

1st Monday of each month, 6 - 8 PM<br />
(9/13, 10/4)<br />
Each month’s Crystalline Club brings a new experience and shifts your reality to a different level. We have a guided meditation to show you how to “speak” with your stone’s inner spirit, you will receive a new mineral to work with and enjoy, and we’ll talk about our experiences with the previous month’s stone, what happened over the month and discuss how it worked with us. Stones will tend to be the more rare and unusual gemstones, crystals and minerals that most people haven’t heard of or worked with. Some stones that we have worked with include Eudialyte, Epidote, Fire Agate, Larimar and Alexandrite. Pre-registration is required so that we can have a stone available for you. Club fee: $25 (includes stone) <br />
<i>Please note: if you would like to work with the stones but can not attend our meetings, just let us know and we will have the stone and that month’s handouts available for you for $15. Or wait a month, and work with the stone as a crystal essence, available for sale on our website www.earthlodgeherbals.com.<br />
</i><br />
<br />
<b>Shamanic Journey Circle</b><br />
This circle meets on the second Thursday of each month from 6-8 PM<br />
(9/9, 10/14) and is led by shamanic energy healer and author Maya Cointreau. Commune with your guardian spirits and power animals, journey to power places of wisdom and healing, and experience new levels of Spirit. Shamanic journeys are meditative visualizations, or miniature vision quests, that allow you to access divine wisdom through your subconscious mind. At each open circle we drum, journey twice, and share our experiences. Bring a drum or rattle, pen and paper, something to lie on and an eye mask. Beginners welcome. $15<br />

<b>Reiki Share</b><br />
9/10, 9/24, 9/25, 10/8, 10/22, 10/30<br />
This community-inspired Reiki Share meets every other <b>Friday</b> from 11am-1pm, and on the last <b>Saturday</b> of each month from 11am-1pm. It is open to all Reiki practitioners, whether you are a Master or just beginning. Everyone who comes gives and receives, building their Reiki as well as new friendships. The share often begins with 2-4 people working on a person on the table for at least 10 minutes, then sharing views of what they felt. Then we move on to the next person, until all at each table have experienced the healing for 10 minutes. We find the sharing of perceptions provides useful learning and affirmation on our intuitive physical and ethereal scanning. $10 Donation for use of the space, which is regularly cleared, empowered and blessed by the healers at Earth Lodge. <br />

The calm: the knowing that every tide out brings a tide in, the interconnectedness of all that dwell in the water, the cellular healing ability of the salted mineral waters. The power: the great waves that can wash away an island, the ability to mold rock and dissolve metal, the creative essence of the earth and all her fury. Larimar can help you make peace in the middle of a storm. It holds the knowledge of the earth’s oldest history, the origin of your species, the story of all who have come before. It is the womb of your mother, the essence of your father. It is a stone of deep answers, and soothing wisdom. <br />
<br />
Larimar is finely tuned to the human body, especially the 5th chakra in the throat area of the body. Larimar benefits communication, supports the healing process (thymus), and increases the possibility of regulating thyroid gland malfunction. Larimar supports dissolving different kinds of energy blockages that cause physical problems or mental diseases. It enables the flow of energy within a person and helps promote an open mind to changes and improvement. It also softens the stress and tension that problems bring.<br />
<br />
It is no coincidence that Larimar has appeared at a time when the world is going through important transformations. The blue gemstone softens, enlightens and supports the healing process of the physical, emotional-mental and spiritual bodies. It combines our mind and thoughts (elements of air energy) with our heart and emotions (elements of water energy), gathering them into a harmonious whole. In addition, Larimar helps us to view events from a different, more positive perspective.<br />
<br />
Larimar vibrates to the master number 55. It accesses Higher Mind (55) and channels it through your individuality (1). 55 is a direct line to the mind of God or as some call it, the akashic records. <br />

It releases your fears which hold you back, and your fear of fears, too. It helps to ground your desires in reality and bring them to fruition in a balanced manner that blends joyful creation with logic and mass consciousness. It helps you to rationalize everything you want in a way that helps you to attain it more quickly and fully. <br />
<br />
<strong>Eudialyte is particularly beneficial for getting things done, quickly and effeciently without any feelings of urgency or manic energy. You will be amazed at the end of the day by how much you did, and how calm you felt while doing it all!</strong> <br />
<br />
<br />
Eudialyte helps with clairaudience, manifestation, and psychic resonance and abilities, and is a psychically protective stone. Eudialyte is also a stone of the heart, bringing harmony of heart matters and dispelling jealousy. It also brings the root and heart chakras into alignmentand activates the heart chakra. It increases the Alpha brain wave pattern during the creative state as well as the dream state. It is helpful for learning to trust oneself and others, and eases compulsive behavior. It bestows inspiration and confidence. <br />
<br />
Eudialyte increases vitality, eye problems, pancreas, thyroid, and purifying the blood. It has also been used as a very accurate diagnostic tool. It opens the Kundalini with energy flowing from the crown to the base chakra, opening the chakra centers and allowing a clear pathway for the movement of the Kundalini. It is also a powerfully energetic stone and said to be able to clear the space of entities that have not been able to pass on after death. For those working with the terminally ill this stone is especially useful.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694755431668534362.post-29251086046182381792010-05-07T05:36:00.000-07:002010-05-07T05:36:44.350-07:00Barberry Flower Essence *NEW* from Earth Lodge!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.all-creatures.org/pica/ftshl-barberry-jap-05_small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="162" src="http://www.all-creatures.org/pica/ftshl-barberry-jap-05_small.jpg" tt="true" width="200" /></a></div>Barberry strengthens the body, mind and soul.

<br />
<br />
Horses also understand words better than expected, according to the research, and possess "excellent memories," allowing horses to not only recall their human friends after periods of separation, but also to remember complex, problem-solving strategies for ten years or more.<br />
<br />
The bond with humans likely is an extension of horse behavior in the wild, since horses value their own horse relatives and friends, and are also open to new, non-threatening acquaintances.<br />
<br />
"Horses maintain long-term bonds with several members of their family group, but they also interact temporarily with members of other groups when forming herds," explained Carol Sankey, who led the research, and her team. <br />
<br />
"Equid social relationships are long-lasting and, in some cases, lifelong," added the scientists, whose paper has been accepted for publication in the journal Animal Behavior.<br />
<br />
Ethologist Sankey of the University of Rennes and her colleagues studied 20 Anglo-Arabian and three French Saddlebred horses stabled in Chamberet, France. The scientists tested how well the horses remembered a female trainer and her instructions after she and the horses had been separated up to eight months.<br />
<br />
The training program for the horses consisted of 41 steps associated with basic grooming and medical care. For example, the horses had to remain immobile in response to the verbal command "reste!" which is French for "stay." The horses also had to lift their feet, tolerate a thermometer inserted into the rectum and more. When a horse did as it was instructed, the trainer rewarded it with food pellets.<br />
<br />
<br />
With tasty rewards, the horses "displayed more 'positive' behaviors toward the experimenter, such as sniffing and licking," the researchers wrote. Horses do this as a sign of affiliation with each other, so they weren't necessarily just seeking more food.<br />
<br />
The scientists added, "Horses trained without reinforcement expressed four to six times more 'negative' behaviors, such as biting, kicking and 'falling down' on the experimenter."<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, after the eight months of separation, the horses trained with food rewards gravitated towards the same experimenter. The horses also seemed to accept new people more readily, indicating they had developed a "positive memory of humans" in general. <br />
<br />
"From our results, it appears that horses are no different than humans (in terms of positive reinforcement teachings)," according to the researchers. "They behave, learn and memorize better when learning is associated with a positive situation." <br />
<br />
While people often train dogs in this way, also using verbal commands, Sankey and her team point out that "the majority of horse-riding training is based on tactile sensations -- pressure from bits, movements of riders' legs, weight change in the saddle." <br />
<br />
Since "horses are able to learn and memorize human words" and can hear the human voice better than even dogs can, due to their particular range of hearing, the scientists predict trainers could have success if they incorporate more vocal commands into their horse training programs. <br />
<br />
Jill Starr is president and founder of Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue, a non-profit that provides refuge, training and adoption placement for otherwise slaughter-bound wild mustangs and domestic horses.<br />
<br />
Starr told Discovery News that she's observed horses responding well to verbal commands, such as "trot," but she still feels "horses and people get along better if the person doesn't chatter, since this causes the individual to have greater awareness of body language that is more familiar to horses."<br />
<br />
She, however, agrees that horses are loyal, intelligent and have very long-lasting memories -- of both good and bad experiences.<br />
<br />
Starr said, "Horses can be very forgiving, but they never forget."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694755431668534362.post-4885154060252695542010-04-27T12:36:00.000-07:002010-04-27T12:36:01.730-07:00Wild Horses Respond to Native American Drumming : Discovery News<a href="http://news.discovery.com/animals/wild-horses-respond-to-native-american-drumming.html">Wild Horses Respond to Native American Drumming : Discovery News</a><br />

1st Monday of each month, 6 - 8 PM<br />
(5/3, 6/7)<br />
Every month we have a guided meditation to show you how to “speak” with your stone’s inner spirit, you will receive a new stone to work with and enjoy, and we’ll talk about our experiences with the previous month’s stone, what happened over the month and discuss how it worked with us. Would you like to join us for next month’s class? Email us to register and we’ll have a new and special stone waiting for you. Stones will tend to be the more rare and unusual gemstones, stones that most people haven’t heard of or worked with — each month will bring a new experience and shift your reality to a different level. Cost of the stones is included in the monthly club fee. <br />
<strong><em>Pre-registration is required so that we can have a stone available for you. </em></strong><br />
<strong><em>Club fee: $25 (includes stone)</em></strong> <br />
<em>Please note: if you would like to work with the stones but can not attend our meetings, just let us know and we will have the stone and that month’s handouts available for you for $15. Or wait a month, and work with the stone as a crystal essence, available for sale on our website <a href="http://www.earthlodgeherbals.com/">http://www.earthlodgeherbals.com/</a>.</em> <br />

4th Monday of each month, 6 PM<br />
(5/24, 6/28)<br />
Each participant will bring one dream to share and discuss. It can be an old dream, if current dreaming is minimum. In time, dreaming will increase, as one looks forward to the monthly circle and becomes more involved with their dream circle. Experience with dream circles shows that dreaming becomes richer, more intuitive, more prophetic, and provides more messages from Source, one’s higher self, and the subconscious. Each participant assesses their own dream’s meanings, with suggestive ideas from the Circle. Sandra Cointreau leads the circle. <br />

7 PM screening, with optional discussion to follow<br />
(5/28)<br />
Cinema Spirit Night lets us share movies with soul with like-minded peers in a cozy home setting. Come relax, eat popcorn and enjoy refreshing herbal teas while you sit back and enjoy spiritual cinema. After the movie stay a while and discuss the message of the movie, or feel free to quietly go home and ponder on your own or with family. Space is limited, so please do call or email and let us know if you plan to come. And feel free to bring any additional snacks you might like :) <br />
<strong>About the movie:</strong> Disillusioned and temporarily rudderless, John Woodson is about to experience a dramatic and profound metamorphosis. Through a mysterious set of coincidences, he finds himself on an adventure to Peru in search of ancient scrolls, known as the Celestine Prophecy. The prophecy and its nine key insights, predict a new awakening that redefines human life and provides a glimpse into a completely spiritual culture on earth. Resistant at first, skeptical and unsure, John finds that each step he takes, each person he encounters leads him to a new awakening. It is only in this letting go that he finds his destiny and comes to understand the meaning that had escaped him when his adventure began. <br />
