"The first time I witnessed CST being done on a horse, I couldn’t figure out what was happening. It looked as if Karen was just standing there with her hand on the horse doing absolutely nothing…but the horse was releasing and becoming more and more relaxed. Very interesting!
During my first CST session I couldn’t believe the sensations I was feeling in my body as Karen worked on me. But she merely had her hand on me! After the session I felt amazing. My shoulders were now even, my lower back didn’t hurt, my legs felt longer and I was in such a deep state of relaxation that I have never felt before. I knew my horse needed a session as well!
The first CST session with my horse, Aramis, was incredibly powerful. At first he was very unsure about Karen’s touch, but eventually he relaxed into the work…having a pretty horrible past before I became his owner, I wasn’t surprised he was skeptical. All of a sudden I felt this powerful urge to cry. What it ended up being was, through the CST work, he was letting me feel the sad emotions he still had bottled up from his past. And then he let it go.
I then felt such a warm feeling from him, one of love. Not only did the CST work help my horse emotionally, in just one session his back changed. It went from being hard and a little sore to soft and mobile. CST work also helped my horse make a full and complete recovery from a bad injury he sustained to his face which resulted in him having a fracture. In just a few weeks this very deep fracture had healed COMPLETELY and the surgeon was shocked to see that on the x-rays.
I HIGHLY recommend CST work! I have seen the benefits of it from my horse, and I’ve experienced it personally as well."
