Oneness

When you are kindness, you are showing love.

Through love you are connected to those around you.

Connection is a state of being and our dogs are an embodiment of that expression.

They are never judging us or thinking ill of us or of themselves.

They are the purest expression of love.

When we begin to turn into ourselves, we begin experiencing our senses much like our companion animals.

We see, feel, hear and even taste what is in front of us in the present moment.

As we pass through that doorway of sensory perception, we start to become one with our dogs.

We experience life as they do.

Freedom from our thoughts and just being in the present moment.

As we go deeper into ourselves and connect with our inner knowing, we merge with the oneness of animals.

We are the kindness and love that our dogs already know exist within us.

Take a breath, experience your senses and feel the deep knowing that you are love and are loved and your dogs presence is an embodiment of that oneness in the world.

Be Still

What if you let go of labeling an experience as good or bad and instead just saw it as is?

Take for instance, your dog barking. If you let go of taking the barking personally, then labeling the behavior as being bad because your preference of no barking goes away.

How would that change how you feel about the experience?

When the experience doesn’t match what you desire to actually be happening, your expectation overrides what is actually occuring right in front of you.

When you slip out of the present moment, your thoughts take over and your inner critic emerges and gets louder and louder.

You may also may become worried and anxious about the future.

In the instance of your dog barking, when you slip out of the present moment, you may judge yourself for being bad for not being able to stop your dog from barking, or even label your dog as bad and blame him for doing what is natural to him.

Or, you may be worried about the what ifs of your dog barking when guests are planned to come over for a party at your house over the weekend. The anxious mind spins wildly out of control which then makes you feel like you have no control.

When you get back to your grounded being, you begin to access your creative mind and you begin seeing you have choices of what you can do.

Take a breath.

Be still.

Be open to what creative options show up and feel free to share below 🙂

Infinite Wisdom

The lesson we learn from our dogs is how the are free from their minds.

Freedom from self judgment or oppression.

They live in the present and are their purest selves.

When we live in harmony with our beloved furry companions, we heal ourselves not from the companionship alone, but how we can also access our own pure self.

We learn how to connect with our infinite wisdom and find the peace within.

The joy of being is already within you.
