About Paws4Bliss
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Vision
Paws4Bliss is created by Sanghavasini. Since early childhood she has been an intense ‘seeker’, yearning to find out life’s deepest questions; why am I here, why does everything exist, who am I. So many questions. Through her strong connection with nature and animals, especially with dogs, she has discovered an amazing way to receive answers for these kind of questions: mindfulness meditation with our canine companion. First the Canine Companion Mindfulness Meditations were born to be able to share this with others experientially. The meditation sessions were very well received; the idea came to make this availbale to more people. And, here it is: the Paws4Bliss website!
The inspiration for the Paws4Bliss website, workshops and meditations is to:
- Provide a space where people can experience a deep connection with their canine friend in a different way;
- Increase awareness so that a deeper understanding of one self and the dog can happen;
- Create an opportunity for one to practice observation and listening skills through connecting with one’s canine companion. This improves relationship with all beings; humans and canines alike.
- Form community to support each other and to create a pawsitive change in the world – together, one step at the time through the amazing wise beings: our canine companions.
- Facilitate a learning environment where people can learn about themselves and their dogs through direct experience.
