A Pinto Horse Visits in Dream Time

Last night, a beautiful, pinto horse trotted into my dreams.  I was having some difficulty with something big attacking me.  I cannot remember exactly what was going on.  I do remember that the minute this big horse showed up, everything changed!

I ended up sitting on a rock, and Pinto was alternately grazing and talking to me.  The message was that we had an agreement of some sort.   The agreement was that he would pop in and set things right when they were looking bad for me because I had done the same thing for him at some future date.

The idea of “future date” really intrigued me.  He looked at me and said that it was difficult to explain the concept of the time of “no time” when my current structure was based on the concept of past, present, and future.  He tried to show me the idea of time based on possibilities and that one can go anywhere based on the possibility.  

He said that he always knew where I was because of  our connection.  

And then he winked out!

Rabbit Habits - Spirit Animal

I was sitting at a stop light on a very busy street, when a movement along the road caught my eye.  There was a small, brown bunny hopping from one patch of clover grass to another, without any concern for the traffic.  Bunny was on the outside boulevard between the main road and a service road.  The boulevard had to be about four feet wide.  When it needed a rest, it hopped over to a bush and lay down, stretched out, and dozed.

Since I had to sit through two lights, I had time to observe Bunny.  After a short doze, maybe three minutes, she hopped up, and went back to grazing.  Her habits seemed to be:

• ignore the traffic noise
• find the best food – new clover and new grass
• get plenty of rest
• understand where my boundaries are

I thought about what people could learn from Bunny’s habits.  

   -ignore what you can’t change

  -eat what is healthy and good for you

  -rest when you are tired or when your body sends signals for you to rest

  -look at what boundaries keep you locked in to a repetitive routine

Have a “hoppy” day!

Many blessings,

Judy

Happy vs Unhappy

From the site - https://jessicadimas.com/spiritual-quotes/

I was reading an article about a First Nations village in Northern Alberta that had to be evacuated because the fire was coming so quickly.  Many had dogs in their families.  The evacuation team said that after the people were settled safely, they would come back for the dogs.  Before the helicopters got back, another village was under evacuation order and the helicopters never got back.  Three people stayed to look after the sixty dogs hoping that the fire would not wipe them all out.  Five days later, the people were allowed to return.  All rushed to find their dogs and according to the eye witnesses, many cried tears of joy.

It made me think about happy people.  Happy people are filled with love and joy and have an abundance of both to share with others.  I know because I am lucky enough to have several very happy friends.  They are always working on little projects and learning new things.  I have never heard them blame anyone else or any circumstance for their place in life.

Many blessings,

How Important Is Our Stuff In The Overall Universal Plan?

Image is from https://www.womansday.com/life/a39788446/spiritual-quotes/

Over the years, one of the very important lessons that I have learned is that our daily lives, the work that we do in a corporation or the fights/wars that we battle for others, has very little significance to the Universe.

Yes, we do need to work to make money to have food and shelter and clothes, yet at the end of the day, when our families are gone long after we are gone, no one remembers those things. The Universe is interested in the love that we show each other.  She/he/it wants to see balance and compassion and a love of Nature.  Mindfulness is also interesting to the Universe as is the ability to detach from emotional situations and become the observer.  

I am still adapting to all the instances that are of Universal interest.  Where are you on the journey?

Many blessings,

Vibration is in Everything

Poster comes from an email of different sayings from friends.
 

We all know that everything is made up of energy.  We also know from our science and physic classes that everything has a different vibration.  When I saw this poster, it started me thinking about the humans that surround me at different times and the energy that I feel in different places.

When you determine what energy feels good to you, you determine how your life will manifest.

Many blessings,

Redefine Yourself!

Picture from Highwood Trail, part of Kananaskis Country

The following motivations come from https://www.dailymotivation.site/?utm_source=dailynewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily

• You are not defined by your past. 

• Things have changed and so have you.

• Life is dynamic. Don't limit yourself to what once was. 

• Stop over-thinking what has happened. Focus on living well in the present. 

• The present moment is giving you opportunities to create better experiences and transform your perspective.

I see so many people, friends and family included, who are stuck in a past situation.  For me, this is a sign of PTSD.  A trauma occurred and now the person is stuck.  If one is truly in balance as Nature intended, the past is a rolling event that is like a past movie.  Details are difficult to recall.  However, when someone keeps repeating the same story of an event that happened and how they are the victim in the story, the person gets time-locked in that emotion and in the reactions.  Talk about stuck in a rut!

So the solution to being stuck is to let it go!  It is not the situation that is the problem but how one reacts to it.

What changes will you make this week?

Many Blessings,

Judy

On Being Happy

A picture of infinite possibilities taken from pull out on Highwood Trail

For the last several weeks, the quote below, on happiness, keeps popping up either in my email or on sites that I look at.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. - the Dalai Lama 

I decided that I really needed to look at my happiness and look at whether I was truly happy.  We know that happiness comes from inside you and not from external sources.  And yet, as I examined my life and my home and yard and all our friends and neighbours, I concluded that I am happy.  I love my life!  I love that we have beautiful flowers and a bountiful garden and herb garden. I love that we can sit and have coffee on the deck in the morning.  I love that I have time to meditate and to walk in Nature, and to sit on the Earth and feel the life that flows from it.

I then looked at my compassion.  The meaning of compassion as defined by the University of Berkeley in California is:

Compassion literally means “to suffer together

.” Among emotion researchers, it is defined as the feeling that arises when you are confronted with another's suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering. Compassion is not the same as empathy or altruism, though the concepts are related. - https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/topic/compassion/definition#:~:text=Compassion%20literally%20means%20%E2%80%9Cto%20suffer,though%20the%20concepts%20are%20related.

Based on this definition, compassion is at the far end of my bar of happiness. I do not feel compelled to search out people that are suffering.  I realize that compassion is something that I need to work on.

May you all have much happiness in your days.

Many blessings,

Judy
