Spring! And a Metaphor for Focus

Spring! Walking some trails today in upstate New York- I see that it’s not gorgeous yet but the anticipation is building. To find the color "green" you have to really look-either at the pine trees or the ferns along the ground, or at spotty patches of grass which are just turning, but it FEELS PROMISING.

As my Springers and I walked along a canal there were Canadian Geese and Wood -Ducks, a Redwing-Blackbird, and along the path a reddish looking Garter Snake and a small Box Turtle as big as my fist. To me the most definite expressions of the change of seasons is not the calendar but the signs of life bursting out everywhere and not a moment too soon. I was not going to function at full capacity until I could enjoy a shift from the darkness and cold as I hibernated in my house.

While hibernating on a cold April day, I was meditating and came across a really useful technique. This technique is to help with focus. Lack of focus is probably the scourge of the Age of Technology as we multitask between IPad, IPod, cell phone calls, text messages, You tube videos, the Internet, Facebook, Twitter and on and on. It’s a wonder anyone focuses on an appointed task at all. And this is what was shown to me in the meditation. I saw a metronome and I saw it traversing back and forth and then I saw it pressed to the center. There is your focal point. When you are working on a centering thought anything but dead center is a distraction. Each time you move from that centering thought you are distracted. Try using the metronome metaphor for the next focused thought you have or need to have and see if it doesn’t help you stay with the centering thought. I will use it for manifestation, but one could use it for that, or to problem solve, or to brainstorm, or in any one of thousands of ways. Remember to stay centered and not let your thoughts shift your mind from side to side- back and forth. The center is where it’s at –whatever your centering thought is.

When a Pet Passes and How a Medium Might Handle It

I’ve been watching my beautiful old Springer Spaniel “Porter” recently and am sorry to say and even think that he may pass on sometime soon. Sometimes he sits on the floor in the living room (although he is allowed on the couch) and he looks lost like he is a thousand miles away. When I call to him, he doesn’t hear me. When we go for walks I have to keep him close because his eyesight has deteriorated and he can only see about 50 feet ahead of him. He’s always so happy to run up and “find” me close by again.  

So I am preparing for the best outcome… that he will pass over to Source energy- to the place he came from, where he was created in absolute perfection to be the unique and amazing dog he is. To let him go will require all the generosity I can gather together on that one day and for all succeeding days when I will absolutely miss his physical presence. The way he looks at me when I ask him a question like we’re both on the same page. The little tuft of brown fur on the top of his head that has never stayed down. The way he barks me awake in the morning because he has things to do and places to go. The way he balls up into a cluster of fur with his feet in the air on my bed and sleeps so peacefully while I reach over and kiss him softly on the nose.  I hope I will be gracious and allow him to pass in peace and understanding as all Spirits pass. I know his energy on the other side will make that place brighter and happier just as his Soul energy on this side has brought countless moments of joy and love to me. In the midst of the loss of my parents, financial challenges, and relationship loss, he has always been there for me. His little teddy- bear face standing like a sentry between me and the world. His amazing energy and enthusiasm has always been a source of inspiration for me for which I can never repay him. When he crosses over,I know he will have all the freedom he needs to run and leap and bound and spread new joy in his new home. I just want to thank him for coming to me, for every day he spent time with me and for his entirely generous Soul.
