Once I had the care of a horse named Jasper. He was a master of the art of communication. When he did not want to play anymore so he refused to walk or throwing of us riders. Could it be any clearer?

The other night when I would take my horse Eyja on a ride so I missed most of the above. Be totally focused on me to ride and did not see any of the things she told me. Eyja have some problem with gnats in the evening, she gets really scared and runs most about and just want to go into the barn again. Now, this happens only when there is really very gnats.

Once up on horseback, there is no interaction with the horse. Eyja run like she wants and ignores completely both in the reins, and other help.

She throws herself aside for all the shadows that is, grass and flowers are dangerous dragons that she had run away at all costs.

Full of sorrow that I missed what this amazing creature tried to tell me over 1 hour, I'll go off and we return to the stables.

I think I'm pretty good at communication, even between the races, has taught me a lesson.

Attendance, attendance, attendance!

All moments and events, communicate with us, but it's so easy to miss. To miss moments and events are missing a part of life, but it happens.

Goodbye

Well, back home after a fantastic time in Ireland. We had a very special photo coach who took us around to the typical Irish experiences and landscapes. Of course, we would start the day with a real horse auction. I was really looking forward to catching these people and animals in a typical environment. It was very donkeys for sale and of course one wonders why it sold so much ass in a country like Ireland.

Learned that they are used as beasts of burden, among other things, to carry home turf from the large turf fields. Peat is mined and put to dry and small logs. When they are sufficiently dry to burn with the fire, so they are loaded in klövjekorgar the little donkeys who will carry home loads. Some of the donkeys had their foals with and it was really struck by how calm these animals. They were tied to their transport, or lamp posts, and looked calmly around among cars, people and other animals.

These little fölungarna that had just been separated from the mothers was also quiet and watched.

Then there was the "old men" just as I imagined. Occasionally large beer belly, yes, some had a little extra weight, but they stood in clusters and discussed the animals with their plaid woolen caps on. One of them actually came back and wanted to be photographed and get the image sent to them. Perhaps he had no pictures of herself, for all I know. But this is how some of them out.

So what we had with us from this experience? I think the feeling of presence and calm was the key. No one ran to get to something else. They were right where they were, captured the moment which of course also reflected in the calm of the animals.

Our animals are like mirrors that reflect what is going on around them. Research has proven that stress, fear, and increased heart rate in humans is contagious and creates the same phenomenon in horses. It probably works on donkeys and other livestock as well. Think that all living beings belong together more than we might imagine today.

But to research the answers to the riddle of life we ​​may be able to train in a quiet communication with our animal friends. To be present and the home itself is spreading good vibes that both ourselves and others feel good by.

Take care!

Spare me my time, give me my time, do not bother me or whatever it may be hot. Everyone is so busy nowadays. Recognize this? Take out your calendar and start looking for the next opportunity for a meeting, a dinner, a movie night or maybe a housecleaning, and even a jog in the woods. Book, book, book .. . . . . . . . How much we want to do with in our lives. No wonder it sometimes feels like it is boiling over. It is said the be a female behavior to do many things at once, the famous multitasking ability. But when I view my dogs so I'm wondering if they also have much to do? Is there perhaps a dog behavior? Nah, on second thoughts, they're both females (women) Female behavior also applies to dogs.

Both involved in innate instincts, one eats and performs some sort of mating behavior. Judging by the tongue, the latter is a better choice than eating an old upptorkat legs. But if you coordinate and make both aktiviterna simultaneously so there are some time saving.

But our old friend the Buddha learned quite a bit under his tree that we can elaborate on, one thing at a time, every thing has its time. An awareness of the presence of what we do or create. We may have a better life and more peaceful if we take one thing at a time. Buddha could well have put it so that "when you eat so eat" and when. . . . . . . so do it to their hearts' desires. The last part refers to the white dog's activity.

I've just looked out into the worst thunderstorm this summer. Rain and hail beats the ground while the thunderous detonations avslöser each other at breakneck speed. Always find that there is a certain pleasure m ed nature's spectacle, even if it feels a little insecure at the same time. Nature communicates its grandeur and gives us a realization that we are only occasional visitors on this earth.

Well, why look out was to see how the horses handled the hail and wind. Would of course prefer not to their position under trees where there is usually a good way for horses to die from lightning. It really is a magical spectacle to see how they handle, copar, with the circumstances. They turn her tail into the wind so that they always get rain and wind from directly behind. Provides the most protection, it is alleged in the regions where they are extra sensitive. Fends off a bit with one step to the right or left, depending on how the wind picks up.

Then they stand perfectly still, stop eating and look like they are in some kind of internal exile and is no longer contactable to the world. Just a quiet calm. As soon as the weather gets better so they continue eating like nothing had happened.

Think that this is an example of the art of living at an advanced level. Imagine if we could handle the emotional storms that occur from time to time in our lives with the same calm. Then we would quietly pull us into ourselves, modifying our "thinking stage" a little to the right and slightly to the left, as the emotional winds change direction and strength.

With the knowledge that the storm soon pulls over k than it is to be quiet in our minds, and the sun can shine in our lives again.

Finally a rainy day. After all the sun and heat with accompanying summer activities, so it is now okay again to just be. An important balance between "being" and "to do". The animals are good at this. They do not go around thinking about next week's bill of fare, or which meetings they should have, when they eat so they eat. For this reason, they are so amazing to work with. There is much we can learn from them in terms of presence, that is, an awareness of the here and now.

This evening I took a chair and sat down in the box inside with Eyja. She munched quietly on a little kvällshö, completely independent of me sitting in a corner. So, I assumed the same level of awareness. I just sat there and dozed without having to clap, or talk, groom or otherwise. Two creatures during a half hour shared the same space without doing anything. It's a very liberating feeling, an experience.

At that moment one tries to describe what I felt, how I felt and so on, it's turned into a task. I made a quick trip from the communion of souls to a separation where I sat myself outside with a view to bes Kriva. An impossibility, because it is so important that we get to have "current". A present should not be described on the basis that it is just a year and we need those in our lives.

Time for the days to settle down. Nature communicates rest and tranquility. The silence speaks to us if we are open to it, present and inlyssnande.

Sleep well!
