"DOG WHISPERER" AND ECKHART TOLLE

The ones of you who know me well, know that I absolutely was hooked on the show Dog Whisperer. This show was hosted by Cesar Millan, and delt with puppy psychology and training the 'humans' as well. ( which is close to what I do as profession [people who work with kids will get the joke ;)] that is taking care of all the need of a growing child )

So - you can imagine my surprise to see these following three videos of  Cesar Millan and Eckhart Tolle in conversation!


"Dogs always desire balance, they stay in the present and aspire for the we, the pack."


"When your dog is upset there is no need for you to be upset. You teach it's important to be non-reactive to the dogs behavior - which ofcourse is a deep spiritual teaching as well."


"Dog energy: What can I do for you, to help others?"

Love, Light and Joy!

HAPPINESS VS. UNHAPPINESS

In the Now when you are unhappy with the situation you are in you can...

Remove yourself from the situation...
Change it...
Or totally accept it...

Unhappiness stems from the lack of staying in the Present. Most unhappiness is not of this moment - but past insident or emotion, or fear of  future insident or pending meeting/talk. You can easily try this, pick anything you've done wrong in the past and see if you still feel bad about it, or pick future date that is of importance and see if what comes up is the negative what ifs.

Most of the time there is nothing wrong in the Now, the present moment.

When you do become aware of something wrong in the right now, Eckhart Tolle gives good guidelines:
- Remove yourself from the situation
- Change the situation with your actions
- Accept what is, totally

Out of these three accepting what is might seem the hardest to do.
You can easily leave. You can easily do something to change it, a joke, a hug, a kind word.
But how do you accept something unhappy?
You don't.

What you do accept is that it did just happen.
You cannot make it "not happen", you acknowledge that this just happened and now you can guide your energy to change what will happen right now.
Accept that this is how life is now.
Accept that everything that happens is for a highest good and learning.
Accept your emotions, but don't let it rule over your consciouness.

Happiness is a choice you can make.

Love, Light and Joy!

RED MOON WAVESPELL - DAY 8 - GRACE OF THE LIGHT WEB

This dream it the best remembered during this whole Wavespell! And I imagine for that has a special meaning as well. Few minutes to my morning workout, got to get my body moving to face the day and the day cares performance of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". ;)

~ ☆ ☮ ☆ ~

Day 8 (Nov 10):  How do I resonate harmoniously with the new Golden Octave? (the new energy on earth)
From: http://www.astrodreamadvisor.com/Wave_Red_Moon.html

Yellow Warrior qualities: Grace, trust, inner voice, fearlessness, courage, cosmic consciousness, high standards, galactic conduit, mystic transmission, divine communication, golden pillar, ferryman's staff, reception, intelligence.

Yellow Warrior is a conduit for cosmic communication, offering access to the universal web of consciousness. This is the web of the Mayan mystic spider that weaves intergalactic threads, the conduit of interconnected consciousness. Yellow Warrior is the spider in the web, the grid connection for divine communication. Receive these ripples of knowing from Yellow Warrior's web through the central axis in your spine, your staff. Accept this gift of knowing in grace, as you would receive the morning light by turning your face to the Sun. Grace is an unexpected touch, a blessing given in love, a natural gift from the universe. Use the power of love like an electrical current to serve the light. Open fully to feel and receive it!

The number for Yellow Warrior is sixteen, the number of unity with the cosmic foundation of resonant evolution. As you embody the ferryman's staff, you become anchored in your connection to cosmic consciousness. Holding within you the foundational steps of the trinity, you carry the "Christed one" into the world. As a living mystic, you are the conduit of the spiraling galaxies that creates a union with cosmic consciousness. Sixteen may also be seen as the beginning of another octave - a higher octave characterized by organic balance and the new Earth under your feet.

Niina: (will fill this at the end of the day) Perhaps this is why spiders scare me, my ego is trying to frighten me throught that symbol, the grid connection, the Light Web, the Unity Consciouness is not Ego's field... There is thought for the day... :)

The Dream: I went to the Museum with my husband, we looked over the show in day light, I remember liking the most, the hearts projected on things an people. We were about to to leave when I was holding a baby, it was one of my daycare kids and I saw my day. We talked and everything turned to a night show, basically the room went little darker. We were walking around and noticed we were in the past, we tried to find our way back and noticed the museum workers used it as a Lounge. Finally got back to Present, a man got hit by a car and I had to file a report at some office, still carrying the baby around.

Museum = A museum may represent the history of yourself and your past. It exhibits all of the important events that have made you into the person you are today. It can also represent the archaic world of the collective unconscious. ( makes ense it deals with the past as I actually went back to the past in it, it is still another House which usually symbolizes our emotional and psychological selves )
Father = Dreams with fathers in them can be looked at on several different levels. You may be dreaming about your father and expressing your feelings about him in a safe way. Traditionally, a father dream can be seen as symbolizing authority and power. In the dream you may be expressing your attitude about strengths and weaknesses as they relate to your position in life and your general attitude toward society. The image of the father could also represent the "collective consciousness," the traditional spirit, and the yang. ( symbol of "authority and power", in a House/Emotional Self in a Museum/My Past - "as they relate to your position in life and your general attitude toward society" I see them outdated part of the past not Present, my father disappered when we returned to Present and I gave it no nsecond thought )
(Projected) Hearts = The heart represents the centre of emotional life. It is an archetypal symbol for love that has been with us since time immemorial. Your dream is describing your emotional life and the way that you are currently dealing with your feelings. [...] Alternatively, if the heart is pictured in a more positive setting, then your dream is saying that you feel good about your emotional life. ( I do feel good emotionally, I make progress everyday on letting go of anger, and frustration my two biggest shadows - so I am projecting my Happiness to every person and object. Funny cause I've been practising with this is spontanious setting, a couble came to metro obviously in bit of a tiff, I opened my heart center and gave through me love and energy to their heart centers and helped their center connect through that energy, and honestly they were laughing together in less than two minutes )

Niina: My authority and power figures are a thing of the past, they are no longer in my emotional and psychological make-up (been away for a while already)  and also in my sociaty they don't hold a place of power, my attitude on such figures as my boss, my doctors/nurses and police have twindle to a perfect possition, my divine brothers and sisters doing their job and learning their lessons in this world. In the past they were somewhat of authority figures but now they are replaced with Love Projected to them to anything...

Love, Light and Joy!

PEARLS FROM THE RETREAT

ECKHART TOLLE did a weekend retreat at FINDHORN in Scotland. A gorgeous sacred place! And it was captured on DVD.

I got the DVD from the library this week - and as I had to spend yesterday home because of getting ill I put it on the player.

I haven't heard Eckhart Tolle speak before and it surprised me especially in the beginning how slow he speaks - but after getting use to of his rhythm, I got to the listening.

I think the idea at the very top of my mind right now after sleeping on the 2h lecture is this:
There is always only NOW. You can never reach back to the past, and no matter how much you try, and plan, the future you will never have it. Cause you can only exist in the Now.
He asked very wisely "What is wrong right now?" If you think about it, you'll realise all problems we think about (and we think about our problems A LOT I tell you) are in the future - I got to go see the doctor tomorrow, I have to sign to declare bankrupcy with my lawyer next week, mom's gonna visit this evening I have to clean.What is wrong right now? - Well... Nothing I suppose, I'm here alive, sitting, feeling the energy of the moment pass in me.


Our head want us to think, our ego-self wants us to think, to be right, to challenge, to complain (boy does it love to complain! Be aware of complaining, it only makes you feel superior to the target for a moment before you feel worse than some one else does (he gives an example where you are talking to a professor who wows you with "knowledge" and fancy words you your ego feels 'damn I'm so stupid, he's much more smarter than me - but I am more beautiful' It's a vicious cycle)).
Our soul, our essence of being, the part of us that is connected to all life on earth wants us to Be Present. Be open to nature, love, the earth without the thinking that is ego's job.

I'll clear that a little - there is nothing wrong with thinking as long as we recognise that they are just scattering thoughts, just words, labels, stamps we but on things.

Tree is a tree.
Why?
Because it is off wood (another stamp), it has branches (another stamp) that have leaves (another stamp) that are green cause they have chlorophyll (fancy stamp ;) ). The thing about thoughts is we "think" we have to have them all the time, hence they move like rabbits down the field being chased by a hungry fox. Like such after thoughts of seeing tree - And you know I have seen these and everyone calls them trees, and this one is like aunt Maggie's old oak tree in the back yard, hmm, aunt Maggie was bit weird of a character, oh and her third husband Billy man I hate him always with the 'you'll never be good to do anything' speeches.
So now you have seen the tree and remember how much Uncle Billy brought you down.
That is the ego-self thinking.

Then we have your essence, which sits by the tree, marvels it, its beauty without specification - doesn't want anything of the life in front of it. Being present in the company of something so connected to life and earth that is free of ego is simply Stillness. There is no judgement - there is no battle of the egos (who's smarter, prettier, cleaner, more right, less wrong, obvious, dim and such and such...). Just you, the singing of the birds, the wind tugging at your hair, the life flow between you and the living tree in front of you. That is stillness, that is where happiness is.


Be Present.

THE NOW - THE FUTURE


Be present.
Future will always be in the future,
the past always in the past.
You are always in the Now.

There are two ways to being unhappy...
Not getting what you want...
And getting what you want...
