Learning to live in the ‘now’ is such an important lesson. Spiritual Leader and Author, Eckhart Tolle teaches us to “Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.” Such a simple concept - such a difficult lesson.
In our every day lives, it is common to be out of the moment....running errands, planning dinner...deciding where we need to be tonight, worrying about tomorrow, etc. Most of these things do need our attention, but more and more each day, take the time to bring yourself back to ‘now’. It truly is all that you have and when you are somewhere else, it is a part of your life that you can never get back.
All animals live in the ‘now’ and unless I am able to focus on that, I would never be able to communicate with them. It would be like trying to talk to someone in five minutes....right now! I must get into the right now ‘time zone ’ or there would be no connection.
Instead of passing by your animal companion with your mind on something else, STOP. Bring yourself physically, mentally and emotionally into the present moment. Breathe with it - stop the clutter in your head and focus on being here NOW. Become aware of your presence and allow the ‘feeling’ of the moment to fill your thoughts.
Listen...that is the place where you can hear your animal companions talking to you.
