Mountain Sheep Support

Picture of Big Horn Sheep Rams in Radium Hot Springs

Several years ago, Roger and I and the dogs spent four days in Radium Hot Springs.  We stayed in a lodge up the side of the mountain.  Everyday, when we took the dogs for their outings, we saw Mountain Sheep.  The Mountain Sheep seemed to show an unusual interest in us.  They would come down the slope towards us, baa-ing.  On one occasion, several ewes chased us down the path.  I use the word “chased” when perhaps all they were was curious.  

I began to wonder why the sheep were so in-our-face the whole time that we were in Radium.  Then I realized that they were telling me, by their actions, to be confident.  They were telling me to go forward and do what I must because, like the sheep, I could be sure footed in uneven ground.  I could be challenged, and not need to worry about falling.

On one outing, we were surrounded by rams.  They simply walked around us so that we were in the center of their ring, and then past us.  I understood that they were telling me that I could butt-heads with anyone, and be sure of victory.  They were also saying that the numbers did not matter.  And, they offered me their strength.

I realized that we were given a unique chance to interact with these wild animals because we were to learn some lessons from them.

I walk with the confidence of the Mountain Sheep, now.

When You Go To Sleep

When you go to sleep in the night, just imagine that you are falling into divine hands...as if existence is supporting you, that you are in its lap, falling asleep. Just visualize it and fall asleep. The one thing to carry is that you should go on imagining and let sleep come, so that the imagination enters into sleep; they are overlapping.  - Osho

 

I am hearing so many people complain that they are having trouble sleeping. Sometimes, I have been finding that getting to sleep is difficult.  I normally do not have this problem.  I found this wonderful quotation from Osho and thought that I would try this – a visualization.  Osho’s guidance, for me, is a wonderful “how to” on getting to sleep.

These days, there is much going on in the world - war in Ukraine, elections in Alberta, cyber attacks at airports, rising costs of everything. We just went through a major eclipse and equinox that will shake things up for possibly twenty years. The upheaval can cause anxiousness and sleeplessness.  There are many suggested remedies.  

Last night, Osho’s guidance helped me sleep.

Sweet dreams!

Blessings,

Welcome October 2025

 

                        Comes from an email from a friend so source is not known

October 1 signifies that in Canada, winter is just around the corner and that snow will be here very soon.    

Snow reminds us that this is a time of sleeping for most of Nature.  It reminds us to finish clearing out the flower beds and the garden, and prepare for next spring.  It is a time when many of us sign up for courses because we are also preparing ourselves for the next spring when we hope to undertake changes in our life style or in our careers.

October then, is about planning.  It is not about making hard and fast rules.  It is about thinking about the choices that you wish to make, and putting those choices in to action.

Blessings,

Judy
