While those in the world of mindfulness may be well aware, that empathy toward others is a recipe for a feeling of well being within oneself, for many people, just how to increase a sense of empathy can be a challenging subject.
This, of course is complicated when many people struggle with feeling empathetic toward others. To be sure, when empathy isn�t expressed, it isn�t gained either. So if this is the case, how does one go about increasing empathy? And, further, is it possible that animals, namely horses, can help us to feel more empathetic toward one another?
