Interacting with horses increases oxytocin levels, the "bonding hormone," by up to 70%

At Metaphorse, our approach isn't just based on intuition—it's backed by cutting-edge scientific research. Here's how the power of equine healing is supported by hard data: 

Research from the HeartMath Institute reveals:

• The heart's electromagnetic field is 60 times greater in amplitude than that of the brain. 
• This field can be detected up to 3 feet away from the body. 

What this means for Equine Healing:
Horses, with their large hearts, generate a powerful electromagnetic field. When you interact with a horse, your own heart rhythms can synchronize with theirs, promoting emotional regulation and stress reduction. 

Studies have shown: 

• Horses can detect human emotions and respond accordingly (Smith et al., 2016).
• In one study, horses' heart rates synchronized with those of human participants during grooming sessions (Gehrke et al., 2018). 

Metaphorse in Action:
Our equine partners often approach areas of a client's body where they're experiencing pain or emotional blockages, demonstrating their innate ability to sense and respond to human biofields.
