Doggie Day in the Park - From Seriousness to Playfulness
One of the major lessons that dogs can teach us is how to be spontaneous and playful again, like we were when we were a child. It takes nothing for a dog to get the tail going - one look at a dog is often enough for the wags to happen. As children, we are playful and spontaneous. As we become adults, we are starting to take life very seriously and forget how to live like our wise furry friends – care free. Our canine friends simply enjoy life, expressing themselves freely no matter what other dogs or people might think of them. They do not judge other dogs or people either. They just act the way they are in each moment – no pretending, no shame, no guilt, no emberassment. What you see is what you get. Wow! What a great way to live! What a great reminder! When we stop taking life so seriously we can live like that too, inspite of our credit cards, mortgages, and other concerns. We can be playful and spontaneous, enjoying life no matter what our outer circumstances are. That is our true nature! Then, when a challenge comes our way, we approach it with a wag and a we will be able to meet the challenge effortlessly.
Allow your dog during this meditation to guide you to your inner playground and connect with your spontaneity. Feel what it feels like when all inner puppies are playing at the same time!
Note: For this track you might want to use a toy as the first few minutes will be play time!!
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
