Zen Mind, Zen Horse is a book like no other that has been written about horses to date. It is a primer on spirituality, brain function, and the bonds between the equine and human species. It is also a technical manual of groundwork and training exercises with horses and the profound spiritual lessons we can learn from them and apply to our daily lives.
The horse, however, offers us a solution to this dilemma. As a species, equids are so radically different from our own that they present us a unique and transcendent perspective on ourselves. Horses appeal to us directly, at a primal, intuitive nonverbal level. This is where artistry, emotion, and creativity are housed in the cerebrum. Groundwork with horses provides a vital tool for anyone—from a complete novice to an accomplished horse trainer—to gain access to these functions.
Zen Mind, Zen Horse covers scores of spiritual exercises and lessons including:
Zen Mind, Zen Horse is not just food for thought, it is also a pleasure for the senses. The text is profusely illustrated with original water-color artwork as well as images culled from some of the greatest equine art from around the world. It is illuminated by unique, original innovative conceptual drawings about training modalities with horses and conceptualizations about the principles we can apply to create the most successful, empathetic partnership with our horse. Finally, drawing upon his understanding of human brain function, Dr. Hamilton develops a unique neuro-equine model about how the vital kinship between horse and human has shaped us as a species from prehistory across the whole sweep of our civilization.
A Book For Anyone Interested in Spirituality
Dr. Hamilton’s first book, The Scalpel and the Soul (2008, Tarcher/Penguin), focused on spirituality and medicine and was awarded the Nautilus Silver Award for “books that promote spiritual growth, conscious living, and positive social change….” Previous winners have included Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Anatole France wrote: “Until one has loved an animal a part of one’s soul remains un awakened.” Now, in his second book, Dr. Hamilton addresses how each of us can take this profound and all-important step to enhanced self-awareness.
