A Review by Deborah Moen
The Horse Boy
on DVD or in Hardcover
through Amazon.com.
See this film about the autistic child who was befriended by a horse and healed by Shaman in Mongolia. This is a powerful story.
"In our culture, without wit-nesses, this story would be hard to believe, reliant as it is on the power of primitive and little-understood ceremonies." -The Horse Boy
Even if you do not know a person or family touched by autism, the information in this movie may astound you and shift your understanding of healing and empowerment.
Shamanic healing amplifies that which is already within the person seeking healing. A Shaman sees the perfection in everything. In our culture, we institutionalize and set apart these individuals with so called "neurological abnormalities"
Different cultures use different ways to create a space of healing for their client or patient. The fire lit caves of the medicine men, the crisp white coats of medical practitioners, all of them, set the healing stage for the client or patient to begin healing.
Miracles are unexpected events. Most people do not even recognize a healing when it takes place before their eyes because they have nothing in their experience to reference it to. It is not the healer but the patient's body, mind and spirit that does the healing. If there are any references to dark forces within the patient it refers to the conditions brought about by that person's thoughts, perceptions and feelings. Those conditions are not forever. They can be transformed.
A great healer is one who got very ill and healed quickly.-Lazaris
“Once you’ve seen enough people with cancer, or snake bites, or dementia or whatever, healed – and the doctors scratching their heads and saying we don’t know where the tumour’s gone, you come to realise it’s a pretty valid system.” -The Horse Boy
“It’s outside of our ken because although we did have some of these systems in European culture we destroyed them. In the Middle Ages we burnt every village herbalist, let alone shaman. People might think all this is airy-fairy, but bushmen are very practical people: they live in the desert . . . they don’t do anything unless it serves a practical purpose. " -The Horse Boy
