The relationship between a rider and his horse is based on much more than just physical interactions. It is a deep connection that can be affected by emotions, stress and unconscious blockages. It is in this context that the Étik'A Method , developed by Cécile Bitton-Duris , offers an innovative approach based on equine kinesiology to strengthen this connection. This method uses the understanding of the emotions of the rider and the horse to harmonize their relationship.
What is the Étik'A Method?
The Étik'A Method is based on the principle that the body and mind of the rider and the horse are intimately linked. Cécile Bitton-Duris uses kinesiology techniques to access body memory and identify emotional or physical blockages. The horse, a true mirror of the rider's emotions, reacts subtly to his mental state. The Étik'A Method aims to "short-circuit" the mind and speech to focus on body and emotional language, thus allowing a deeper and more intuitive reconnection.
Key principles:
Muscle tone test : Cécile assesses the muscle tone of the rider and the horse to identify emotional tensions.
Access to body memory : The blockages identified are often linked to unexpressed emotions, influencing the horse's behavior.
Emotional release : Through specific techniques, the rider learns to release these tensions, allowing the horse to feel more confident and relaxed.
Learn the Étik'A Method
The Étik'A Method offers several levels of training for riders and practitioners interested in equine kinesiology. These courses allow participants to understand how the emotional relationship between them and their horse can be influenced by their own blockages. The training takes place in several stages:
Introduction : Understand the basic principles of kinesiology and how it applies to the rider-horse relationship.
Advanced level : Riders learn to detect blockages themselves and to apply the techniques of the Étik'A Method in their daily equestrian life.
Training is a unique opportunity to develop a more authentic relationship with your horse, based on mutual emotional listening.
Individual sessions and supervision
Cécile Bitton-Duris offers individual sessions for riders wishing to benefit from personalized support. During these sessions, she assesses the specific needs of the rider and their horse, using muscle tests to identify blockages. Each session is adapted to the specific needs of the rider-horse duo, allowing work on specific emotional aspects. In addition, Cécile also offers supervision for those who wish to deepen their practice and ensure that they correctly apply the techniques of the Étik'A Method.
The concept of the “Mirror Horse”
One of the pillars of the Étik'A Method is the concept of the "Mirror Horse" . The horse is able to feel and reflect the emotions of its rider. This means that if the rider is tense, stressed or anxious, the horse will reflect it through its behavior. Through the Étik'A Method, the rider learns to observe these reactions and understand how their own emotions influence their horse. This awareness is a powerful tool for transformation, allowing them to better manage their own stress and release the blockages that harm the relationship with the horse.
Using the Étik'A Method in team-building
The Étik'A Method is not only intended for individual riders. Cécile Bitton-Duris has developed team-building programs that rely on the relationship with horses to strengthen team cohesion within companies. The horse, being a being very sensitive to non-verbal communication, helps participants to better understand their relational and emotional dynamics. These workshops allow you to:
Develop empathy and listening skills within the team.
Improve non-verbal communication and emotion management.
Strengthen collaboration in an atypical and natural setting.
These sessions are particularly appreciated by companies seeking to stimulate emotional intelligence and cooperation within their teams.
Conclusion
The Étik'A Method is a unique approach that goes beyond simple horseback riding. By allowing a deep emotional reconnection between the rider and his horse, it promotes a more harmonious and balanced relationship. Riders, whether beginners or experienced, can benefit immensely from this method, both personally and in their relationship with their horse. Whether through individual sessions, training or team-building workshops, the Étik'A Method offers innovative solutions to improve communication and the well-being of riders and horses.
