Counsellor's Diary
A happy inner and outer energy in 2006. Go within and find your balance and stillness! A few weeks ago I went snowboarding with my son in the French Alps. It is one of our special times to share our joy and challenges of being two souls loving the adventure of climbing and speeding down breathtaking beauty. However, I often stopped and just became still in such beauty and as I did this, so much joy came into my soul. Setting our priorities to spend time together pays enormous dividends. We found time to share without TV news and computers, just us being in clear mountain energy. When I want to feel connected to that inner power or infinite being, I love to meditate in my front room or in places that have such all-seeing energy. Sometimes a walk by the sea, windsurfing on a lake, or walking in a beautiful garden. What helps your energy feel connected to that source of nirvana? What reminds your soul of what it really needs? Enlightenment maybe a big word, yet just to become a little lighter in 2006, all we need is small adjustments with our choice of thoughts and priorities so we can balance the different challenges of life and radiate laughter as we ascend and descend the mountains of life. May your path in this life experience many moments of stillness even in the hustle and bustle of life.Love and blessings. Roger. rogerking3@btinternet.com
Happiness in a Jar A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2" in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more ifthe jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous, "YES". The professor then picked a bottle of red wine from under the table and proceeded to pour the entire contents into the jar effectively fillingthe empty space between the sand. The students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your health, and your friends - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff." "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to care about your health. Go out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, and fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE"
HOW TO EXPERIENCE OPTIMUM DOLPHIN SWIMS Dolphins love to be in bliss. They have a wonderful capacity for gathering peoples' hearts into places of newly experienced joy. I thought I was a person who felt a lot of joy all my life. However, once I experienced being befriended by dolphins, bliss took on a whole new meaning. From my encounters with dolphins I have learned that the deepest joy can fill me from the tip of my toes to the top of my head and deep in my heart. This kind of joy is unconditional. It is something I bring to situations rather than something I try to receive from situations. Here's an analogy to explain unconditional joy vs. conditional joy. If you don’t give yourself water for a long time you find you are dry and overwhelmingly thirsty. You must get somewhere to quench your thirst. You have not practiced being full of water and you cannot turn to yourself. However, if you drink big cups each day, your body feels hydrated and full of water all the time. Happiness that is pulled from outer situations and circumstances is quick to come and go. Happiness that is alive in the centre of our heart can be a consistent source of fulfilment. The dolphins have an ability to remember this happiness at any time and can teach you how. They breathe it. They live it. They drink it in daily like big cups of water so they are made if it It is your nature to be unconditionally joyful and you may have forgotten. The dolphins can guide you back to this ability. A dolphin does not teach through an intellectual conversation. Dolphins send out energetic messages of joy that people feel. To prepare yourself to receive, take a few moments in silence each day. Focus on your heart and ask that it be an open vehicle for the deep joy available. Some of you will feel the joy immediately and recognize that the greatest joy does come from within. If you do not feel this joy, here is another approach. We all learn differently so try this way instead. Think about a time during which you were very happy. Send a message of gratitude from your heart out into the world about that time. Notice how you feel now. Notice that you are feeling happy because of your focus rather than any current circumstances. Focus on gratitude creates joy. You can be in joy all the time by simply choosing gratitude in each moment. One of my retreat groups greeted the dolphins with great enthusiasm and many expectations about the interactions they would have. They chased the dolphins. They looked to the dolphins to bring them joy. The dolphins swam away. If you wanted to befriend a human, would run down the street, chase him or her and expect that person to greet you in ease? I don't know anyone who wants to be aggressively chased. I asked the retreat group to practice communicating with a horse on land that afternoon. Once, again the group began to chase, opening the horse's gate and going after the horse when the horse clearly wished to eat in peace. I asked the group to leave the horse alone and redirect their attention. I suggested that the group focus on their hearts and on enjoying each other. They did. They became happy and Decor the horse approached them lovingly. Next, when I asked the dolphin swim seminar group to practice their communication skills with the horse, one woman began to tell Decor a long story and Decor bobbed his head and snorted. The story was being told from the head. I asked the woman to be present with her heart, and simply tell Decor what her story of now was. She realized her story of now was simple: "I feel gratitude.” As she spoke from her heart to Decor's, Decor came to kiss her. When the group focused on their own joy, Decor came to join int. Joy magnified. Back out in the water with the dolphins, these people had a new approach. Instead of chasing they formed a circle with each other and began to sing. The dolphins greeted us within seconds of our departure from land. This is very rare. Bliss fountained through and around us. In sum, learning what the dolphins can share is very simple. It requires a willingness to be present in your own heart. From there, all kinds of wonderful experiences and spiritual awakening can happen. -- Dr. Laurie Moore, LMFT, CHT, Animal Communicator Many more articles can be found at www.DrLaurieMoore.com.
