For me, a gift amongst many I get from my dog Kiko is that she is the best guide into the present moment and pure joy. How can you not laugh and squeak if she launches a toe licking attack, how can you stay self-absorbed when she demands belly rubs, how can you not see the beauty in life when all kinds of adventures unfold while walking her, how can you stay trapped in thoughts when there is a ball to be thrown. :-D

Dо Yоu Believe That Thе Lаw Of Attrасtіоn Rеаllу Wоrkѕ?
Tine replied to Lizzie 's topic in Happiness & Life Advice Forum
First I need to say that I haven't read the book. However, I came across the idea of the law of attraction a lot, but what I am about to say might not directly refer to the book. I think our thoughts have a great influence on our lives, more significant than we might think. :-) With negative self-talk, we can block many paths. With openness and readiness for something to happen, on the other hand, we can see opportunities and act upon them. So it's mental preparation. I saw this idea taken to an extreme though with which I do not agree anymore. It's not enough to think the thoughts you also need to work towards your goal. I also do not like that it seems to imply that if something terrible happens to you, it is your fault as you didn't follow the law of attraction yet. Kind acceptance in those cases seems to be a better first step. I have seen this in other spiritual practices as well. There is a truly helpful core to the practice, but when taken to the extreme, it becomes spiritual bypassing. -
Which positive effects of yoga do you experience?
Yvonne replied to Yvonne 's topic in Happiness & Life Advice Forum
I'm a yoga addict and finally became yoga teacher. Yoga combines movements with your breathing and guides you to your inner self. I would recommend to start with a Sun salutation. It's a little sequence that gives you already good insights to work on it. You can just contact me when you hae any furthre questions. :)
