So I am in a grumpy mood and creating
conspiracy theories in my head. Feel
like my back is a target for knives and my nerves jangle. Then I have the good fortune of sitting in
front of my guru. Her name is
Frodo. She is a bottle nose dolphin and
an excellent measure of where I am at. I
know as I climb into the water with her that I need to have my thoughts in
order. She has taught me that. Because if I don’t, she will push me into
place. Or not be as malleable as I wish
her to be. I feel her pushing down on my
hand, and immediately I have to make sure I am back being present. Get out of my head. Stop worrying about the future or the past or
who is slinging mud(or not). Being where
she wants me to be. With her. Right in the moment. I adjust my thinking, drop the target on my
back and let the conspiracy theories dissolve.
And her work is done.
The joke – I call myself an animal trainer. Like I am doing the job. Bwhahahah.
We have to laugh at our ‘almighty’ selves. We are not in control. This is a partnership. A beauty.
We don’t train them. We partner
with them to come up with a result. When
we can pay attention to the little details, then we are truly fortunate to be
able to hear the animals speaking to us.
The joy of it all is that every time we are
in a training session we have this opportunity.
We are able to feel this truth.
Practise being present.
I think if I was not an animal trainer I may
be in a looney bin. They are the best
therapists around.
