Merry Christmas

Not weather proof

Recently, my baby boy had trouble  controlling his urine because of the weather.
SO, in order for him not to get wet while we are out.
I have to make sure he does not take his carrots or celery at noon.

Born free

Reconnecting and growing my tail

Yearning for courage to connect to the world of nature and animals.
Sometimes, it is like opening up to a familiar feeling.
Drawing out the old wounds in a new perspective.
A private place and a place where love and compassion resides.
I myself rarely go into that space, let alone share it with another soul who needs my understanding.
An invitation?

I truly think we are closer to our animal and nature friends than we think.
When we love them, we heal ourselves.
When we hurt them, we hurt ourselves.

Like a telephone line, we can be hooked up onto the same frequency.
But, we forgot to turn on the wireless and the route to connectedness is forgotten and the frequency in sending and receiving is either lost or confused.

Yet, the invitation is possible to reconnect to all living things and creatures on earth and in the sea.

We are all invited to live in harmony, heal, learn, grow.

Dressing into colourful feathers

I have never seen a bird so lively, cheerful and cheeky.
A beautiful tray of seeds and corn in his cosy corner.
He greeted me on my lips, noticing I was having tea with a straw.
This curious creature immediately took a big leap onto my straw and on my lips.
A morning kiss from this rainbow feathered friend.
He was so excited to go out with his owner.
And, he was too eager to make new friends.
I had thought he was going to freak out when he found out we were going to the doctor.
Instead, this feathered friend ate and made us laugh instead.
It was only later, he found that he was being examined.
He was rather cooperative and patient.
This had been a precious moment, to witness such vitality, connectedness and joy.

How I became a AC?

A few months ago, randomly I took a gamble on what I chanced upon.
It was a risk, but it took off.
Thank u.

Walking an inflammed dog

A lady dashed in with her dog, looking as if her dog was seriously injured.
I sensed her anxious concern for her dog of 4 years.
It was an emergency.
She asked for ear drops said her dog was having an inflamed ear.
A wonderful lady, she was.
While, she was getting the medicine.
I took the honor of holding on to the leash of her dog.
It made my day.
Walking him, guiding him was a sheer time to take the load off my mind.
The connection was immediate.
I felt appreciated just with a few minutes with him.
My connections with nature has always been healing and rewarded.

Growing to understand how our body protects us

It was a sunny day.
Toti was allowed to sit in today.
A little less active, perhaps he too felt the heat.
As we head out to the walk way, I felt his body temperature higher than usual.
I was worried and thought to myself that he might have got heat stroke
As we were waiting for our transport, something wet touched my skin
I was in the nick of time to move away from what seemed to be dripping down his bag
Horrified, dismayed for words, Toti, who never urinated when he is outside,  committed a harmless crime.

Which to me was absurd at first, then i checked his temperature and found it normal just after his act of letting go
I quickly came to realise animals have the most untampered way of de-stressing, disposing energies, and allowing fluids to help bring the body back to equilibrium.
The fact, they shake or vibrate all the time, actually helps the body not to store negative energies.
Their fight and flight system are also in tune.
When they are under stress, like after being chased by a predator, they will immediately shake themselves for a while, not deliberately, but allowing their excess body energies to be disposed. Therefore, not storing or keeping the negative energies in their bodies.
We, however have curtailed ourselves to loose this natural way of desensitizing our defensive or protective system after each stressful moment.
Taking in and storing our negative energies usually.

How do they know that letting go helps in their equilibrium?

I believe this is something intuitive, our body has his own intelligence how to get well,  that is to shake away excess energy after a stressful event.
If we but let him do their job without thinking too much, and listen to our body and to what it wants us to do in cooperating, in letting things happen naturally.
Judging, doubting, impatience, can be our stumbling blocks for wholeness and organic healing to take place.

Healer

I would wish very much to communicate with animals, hearing them, their ideas, our environmental changes, ...
I do not want to be their doctor or their nurse.
But, i do love to interact with them, play with them, understand them and in return ha
Ve their unconditional love.

Sometimes, it takes a while to see them responding.

I am more patient and I have become more gentle with them when they do naughty things or test boundaries.

They are so alive, they are diff everyday.

Their moods and behaviour changes.

The subtle and quick spontaneous nature attracts me.

Often, these moments are precious gems to me.

They can only be savoured at the moment.

Many of these moments cannot be captured or explained.

No one can see except if you look out for them in your own world.

Every gesture is so magical, that it grips me and makes me want to exclaim.

Often, these are moments others cannot appreciate, unless they were part the process of it manifesting.

I call these moments, treasures of my heart.

A walk I never will forget 2

AT first i just said hi and was on my way.
But, i stopped and decided to help his master out.
AfTer some exchangEd words, i realised this poor dog had walking problems, his hind legS seemed weak and he seemed to be leaning on one side more than the other.
I gasped with amazement how he was trying to do his walk dispite of his physical condition.
So, i decided to help him and told him, not to be anxious, as i would help him along.
I talked with him, went over to pat him, i thought it must be difficult to finish such a long walk.
He would s
top and pause,
Refusing to go on.
I would call him, went down to his energy level and got him up to walk again.At times, i would challenge him to do a quicker pace and at times to slow down, to my amazement, he would actually follow my pace.
Later, i found out that his owner had gone for a holiday and he was still adjusting to his new environment and caretaker.
BLESS HIS SOUL!!!!!

A walk I will never forget

It was evening, the trail that I was on lead me to a wonderful and beautiful soul called, Liesle.
He was a big 4ys golden retrivere.
My meeting with him was really
unus
ual.
I wanted to walk my way without interruption, however, i was attracted to this shy, tilted, but beautiful, obedient dog, he seemed very reluctant to do his walk, his master had to keep calling his name. He was lagging behind, his other friend was just  doing the opposite.

Four years and already an animal lover

Getting to know u

Getting all to play

The motivation behind getting all 3 of my rabbits to run, play, have fun is basically so i dont have to clean up their mess.
Besides, i get to sit in a rather sunny but shaded area, while they play.
They have got used to the space and boundaries on which their 4 paws are allowed on.
Many people are too happy to see live, animal souls around.
Just wanting to be close them.
It stirs the hearts of many, both young and old alike.
We need something out there to show us what freedom, joy, play, interaction really means and how importantly, we are all interconnected
.My babies get the best from me whenever i bring them out into the garden. They chase each other, girl will usually run for shade, but she hopes i go get her time to time. The other 2 will come to me from time to time. They get to munch on the dry weeds and green grass around. They get their teeth polished with the branches that the children bring them.
I on the other hand help the kids, parents, teens to pat, handle and be with the rabbits.
I feel it is like educating in a fun and interactive way to protect animals, learn not to fear them.
That we are most happy when we can connect in a safe and friendly environment.

My babies, Furry, Bella and Toti

My babies have given me chances to risk love, care, forgiveness, patience.
Bella has taught me that no matter how much of wanting to fit in with the rest, one has to be respected for one's temperament, pattern.
She has taught me to be patient, better control of myself, trust.
Fluffy, has taught me that one can become more loving with the encouragement of his environment.
Toti, has been there for me. Having being polite to be safe and showing his feelings without being afraid of being rejected.
Trusting me even I fail at times.

A beautiful motherly's soul

Every soul is a gift

Living in

Since I brought Toti back with me, I have never once being freed to not clean my room, dust the fur, on a daily basis.
I feel like a mother to my baby and myself.
Making sure that both sides maintain our cleanliness, meal times, sleeping and waking times.
Living with a pet is different from just dumping him on his cage and feed, clean on routine basis.
I eat, sleep, breathe, work wih Toti around me.
He is curious wih what I do.
Sometimes,  I hink, he trys to behave like a human which makes him so adorable, as he trys to fathom my thoughts and actions.

Easing onto each other

I have made it plain to care and organize for Toti.
Getting him breakfast, allow him to run out and grab a drink, do his wee wee. Bake himself in sunlight.  He loves to greet the morning with joy, prancing and dancing around. Dashing in when he heard me  cracking into my biscuits, he too wants to eat ..... gazing to see some hay or food around, he got sight of some, which I put in while he was out.
It is such joy to see him satisfied after eating his hay.
The first meal of the day is so important for him, if not his mood will be spoiled.Nipping into my cardboard, paper bags, and my fav wooden frame to get my attention...
Ever since I gave him breakfast, he never did bother me.
When I wake later in the day, I would fill up his bowl of hay again.
In the afternoon,  alfafa cubes are given to him.
He is contented by himself.
Later, for dinner, I would begin to give him pellets with mixed muesli. 
He seemed more interested in the change.
In the later night,  I would give him a carrot so he would not need to run out for water all the time
He never fusses or disturbs me now.
Our main meal are settled.
He is assured that I will be there, when he is hung ry or thirsty.
This trust between us is being established.

What my animal friends taught me 2

Toti

Sweetie's time on earth

I have only known u for a while, but it seems I am going to be part of u in me and me in u till enternity.
Thank you for coming into mý life to lift me out of grief.
To reflect the side of me that can be eroded away with all the trials.
Never to say sorry or with any regret that you had to go back.
Thank u for having loved me and being part of my world.

Turning up

It does not matter who turns up.
It does not matter who leaves u.
It does not matter what u hv to face in life.
It does not matter if what is happening does not make any sense.

Skin to skin 2

So close to hear you

When I talk about skin to skin, we think of...
There is only a beginning to talk about.
The arrival of you in thos world.
Without being clothed, u were woven in your mother's womb.
When you were held, kept safe.
You heard every heart beat, every thought of your mother.
Her wishes and dreams echoing within.
Your very breath, you depended on her.
You had no question about your life, how it began.
Only knew what u needed.
Yet, it was provided without you needing to ask.
The very next minute, you had to come out of that sacred place.
You met light for the first time.
The sounds that you heard in your mother's womb was making sense.
You felt the beings around.
Although, you could not yet make out clearly,  you saw the first time the faces of your mother and your father.
You needed time to connect these faces, voices to what you heard inside while being woven.
The next minute you knew, the same warmth and safety was shifting place to a bighter, dryer, cooler place.
You felt you still needed the connection that gave you everything, your heart beat, your warmth.
You wondered and trying to calm, settle in.
You cried, and suddenly you knew the familar voice, she responed to you.
Her warmth kept your heart beat calmer, you felt you were not alone, you felt safe.
And out of exhaustion, you fell asleep.
Skin to skin on your mother'arms.

A tribute to Sweetie

Thank u for being with me for the past 2 years.
I have seen every stage of your development into a beautiful,  strong, sweet, bright, healthy baby.
Keep up with being protective of mummy and Bel.
Your patience is admirable.
Your affection is first class.
I like the way u look at me when I need extra boost.
Thank u for your unconditional love always.

Digging for treasure

What will be given

When life hands u rotton gestures
You hand out what is available.
It reaches out to you.
Because of Sweetie, I have met wonderful people and got noticed in my neighborhood.
Lately, I read about James Bowen'life in the streets.
He met a cat, nursed the cat back and it return the cat followed him whenever he went.
He did try to ask the cat to go.
Animals are grateful whenever you are kind and generous, they read our hearts not not the results.
They look up to you as someone special and worth giving their livea for.
Most importantly,  spirit know s what most and needed to give the person in return.
For Bowen, a life worth living.
A roof under his head and warm cooked meals.
So, be kind and do not expect anything in return, the next person to receive could be you.

The unconditional love

When animals hear you.
They respone most beautiful ly.
They seem to understand what you are feeling.
They listen till the end.
They look out for you esp when you look out for them.
They shower u with endless love in the body and form they have.
Thw intention are the same.
Their unconditional love is  wonderful to receive.
Sometimes, they want u to hold them closer for you to feel their care and concern.
Like their way of looking out for you in their special way.
You know they care and you do matter.
They can be companions when no one is out there at thw moment.
They are always waiting for you to let them know how you are feeling.
Their look will never be of rejection, but look towards you as their special owner, protector and keeper.
The bond will never die as their message to you will be revealed.
You will see them with different eyes.
The ones that kept u perceiving with weary eyes,
get transformed into a lifetime of service when u response with gratitude.

My dutch babies

Handholding

Small boy

Any animal or human treated with care, given proper space will become peaceful, relaxed.
However, if this space is dominated by a male, the likelihood,  he will fight for this space.
If a female enters his domain,  she will be taken advantage of.
Unless, the male is kept on the look out.
However,  if he is treated individual ly, he will take delight and transform to become a meek lamb and will want to please you at all cost.

Baby girl

She has been asking attention from me.
She would throw her toy to show her restlessness and need for attention.
I took her, immediately she quite n down.
Her warmth comfort ed my weary spirit.
I brought her to hv a short nap. She willingly allowed herself to be placed underneath my arms, while I closed my eyes.

Verifying a newly taught attitude and behavior

My girl has recently, gave me lots of stress when I brought her out.
Moreover, I have been spending time to encourage her to lick and express herself in a less aggressive manner.
However,  she has on and off tried, but not given her full permission to allow me to teach her, or for her to use her licking skills more readily.
However, she really suprised me recently, she has been aware of my absence for a while since I was down with minor sickness.
She was looking for me and initiated wanting having contact with me.
I was taken back when she suddenly bursted into a episode of licking me when I requested.
I guess ed it took time, even when it did not produce the desired results,  I did not give up, although, I was irritated,  angry... I did not punish her, instead, I spoke to her when I was calm. And not in front of others.
In fact, I spoke gently to her, letting her know how I felt and that I love her dispite the stress that she created for me.
I held her close to me when I told her.
I guessed when we feel safe, allowed to be silly, yet loved, we automatically become more ready to please, to be better, knowing we are accepted for our differences.
It can be challenging,  as we love more those who are obedient, listen, easy to teach, please us more readily.
But, it is those who challenge our perception, personalities,  that disturb our automated way of being that gives us the greatest satisfaction of being alive , being in harmony with our humanity.

Motivated

Many of us think that harsh words, self- criticism,  will make us more motivated.
Yes, I agree it toughens one's self, however it isn't as nuturing as giving one compassion, to validate, to be there for oneself without judgment.
Science has shown
That as humans we have both the reptile brain and the mamal brain.
Our reptile brain thinking when we are being threatened that we are less good, or fail to meet the mark, releases cortisol and adrenaline hormones to protect and eventually shut our system down.
Our mamal brain however, does the opposite, when we have love, we are close to someone, when we are touched and embraced with hugs and kisses when we fail to meet the mark, our loving and gentle voice lifts us by a kind word, we immediately release oxytocin and opiates to our bodies, making us feel safe, comfort ed, good about ourselves..
In the long run, our calm minds and comfort ed bodies will give us a state that we can be ourselves, confident, unafraid.
Therefore, forging one to do our best.
This reseach is done by Dr Krustin Neff, Associate Professor in Human Development abd Culture.
So, why not give ourselves a hug today instead of biting off our inner selves to become better, healthy,  emotionally stronger beings.
