  1. This changed everything: About telepathy, Africa and a new norm.

    This changed everything: About telepathy, Africa and a new norm.

    In this episode I sit down with my dear colleague Kaitlin and share what happened on my recent trip to Africa—and how it cracked my belief system wide open This is a life changing episode about radical connection, autism, and the invisible field between us that we can no longer ignore. What began as a trip to South Africa to offer Horse Guided Empowerment® sessions to a non-verbal boy on the autism spectrum became a radical initiation into the power of the field between us. Together with Kaitlin I explore the breathtaking process, how the horses led the family into coherence, and what it means when telepathy becomes not just possible—but normal. I share how I applied the Horse Guided Empowerment® model in a completely unfamiliar context, and how that moment rewired not just a family’s story—but my own approach to healing. We dive deep into the practical possibilities of HeartMath, the mystery of interspecies communication, and the unspoken truth that healing doesn’t always take time—sometimes it just takes a coherent field. “If I dive in on this, my reality will change forever.” It did—and now it might change yours, too. If you’ve ever felt things before they were said, if you know that “energy doesn’t lie,” and if you’re ready to embrace telepathy and coherence as real tools for transformation—this episode is for you.

    About Loneliness and Self Reflection

    TRIGGER ALERT In this episode I sit alone at my kitchen table and share my thoughts about deep connection, tough tasks and loneliness. This is a profoundly personal episode about a topic that might be hard to swallow. I share why I process intense emotions and extraordinarily difficult events on my own, when that pattern started and what I plan to do about it. If you ever felt like you operate on a different frequency than others, if mundane conversations leave you bored and you are wondering why you don´t have as many friends as your neighbor, this episode is for you. Thank you for listening. Please share your thoughts right here or to my email, christina@marzmethod.com

  3. Nature-based therapies and why everyone should hug horses

    Nature-based therapies and why everyone should hug horses

    In this episode I sit at my desk on my farm, taking advantage of the short hour we are granted electricity these days, and talk to my friend and colleague Sara Flores about an intriguing topic: Contemplative practice in nature, is that even “real” therapy of merely a new age description for hiking? Sara Flores is a nature-based Psychotherapist trained at Naropa University in Bolder, Colorado and also the very first student who got certified in Horse Guided Empowerment® over a decade ago.  Together we explore what Nature-based entails, and why horses play such a special role in contemplative practices. We talk about research in a practical way, explore specific populations to find out who would most benefit from this approach, and include recommendations for your day-to-day wellbeing.   If you ever wondered why your Sunday hike or your equestrian practice feels so healing, this episode is for you. And, we give you a ton of arguments to ask for your first or next horse ;-) Here are the resources we mention:  Joanna Macy: https://www.joannamacy.net/main Bill Plotkin - Nature and the human soul.

    The rewarding journey to riding tackless: feels like magic and makes the horses happy

    In this episode, I sit at my desk and have a live interview on zoom with the natural horsemanship trainer, Luke Reinbold. For me, riding tackless is an exercise of personal development and mindset review more than a training issue. Luke is a homeschool father of 4, an equestrian educator and beautifully empathetic horse trainer from rural New York, USA.  In our conversation we found out that we have the same philosophy when it comes to riding, training and handling horses. We even have a similar story in the way how horses helped us in our early days. It felt like my soul twin talking to me! In this episode we explore the advantage of listening to the horse, the importance of feel, how to get started in tackless riding and why our mindset is the most important tool.  Listen in! As an equestrian you will LOVE this conversation. You can contact Luke through his quickly growing 50k Facebook page Luke Reinbold Horsemanship and you should sign up to his Youtube Channel where he shares a lot of educational videos: https://www.youtube.com/@Lukereinboldhorsemanship Highlights: Min 1 - Who is Luke Reinbold?
