In the introductory meditation I thought that today I come here with the need to slow down and how grateful I am to you that this cycle has started right now. And then the turtle came as a helper. So, that is magical. Than it was magical for me when I drew flowers before you said the first associative word. I will take with me today that inner knowledge and magic that is inside me, although sometimes I forget it. I always wonder how I can open myself to being guided by that magic more... From the moment I was returning from this week, I received a beautiful poem about belonging. And what surprised me was one verse, which sounded something like, I want to belong without anyone having me. that's the whole point of my fears and struggles here in this life 🤣 Thank you, you bring me a special light every time ✨

Today, I worked with a highly dangerous, very scared, extremely aggressive dog.  It's our 19th session, and he has come a VERY long way despite multiple setbacks.  While I wouldn't say he loves me, we have worked very hard to get him comfortable in my presence.  I am the only other person besides his 2 owners to have touched him with his permission in his 2-3 years of life.

While on my pack walk for dogs with behavioral issues of all sorts, he actually barked at a dog for jumping on me.  Then when we had our private session after, I went to walk ahead to show them where we would work next, and he RAN after me, crying that I left!  I wanted to cry myself, I was so touched by the magic of these two moments, let alone that they occurred on the same day.

Some thoughts about magic: the last days, when I walked in nature I focus on / open to magic. And it's there straight away. But not when I have expectations! (nothing happens then) Just open up for magic and surrender.
