The Gift Called Dog - The Present Called Now
For the last decade the practice of meditation has become more popular in the West. The practice of being in the present moment has been talked about frequently in books and on television. What is this big thing about “being present” ? What does it matter? Most of us human beings are sleep walking with our eyes open. We are living in a dream but we don’t know we are in one. We go about our day doing our things, usually being completely lost in toughts, running after the demands of our minds, totally missing the gifts and beauty life has to offer. When we paws, we can relax into the amazing miracle called life and experience it to the fullest. We can experience the Present called Now.
Our canine friends have not lost this art of being present. When they sniff something, that’s the only thing they do in that moment without distractions of the mind. When they chase something, call their name as you will, but they won’t listen to you as the chase is being experienced to the fullest. They simply won’t hear or see anything else. Now THAT is being present!
Through this meditation with your canine companion you will be taken on an inner journey to discover what it is like to just be present the way your dog is.
"Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be" – Eckhart Tolle
