One of my favourite research papers behind The Magic in Dogs explored what happens when people intentionally practise mindfulness in the presence of their dogs and I shared it last week. The researchers found that dog-centred mindfulness increased human wellbeing and encouraged more moments of connection and synchronisation between dogs and their people. And I love that, because being present with our dogs doesn't always need to look like meditation. Sometimes it looks like being barefoot in your pj’s outside, rocking pretty wild hair, eating a weird breakfast (basically what was in the fridge and needed no prep), while your dog turns into a snuffle pig and the sound of his sniffles makes your heart sing and you savour it to the fullest and are fully present. To me, just magical 😌. Have a great day everyone 💛

The magpies come flying in when they see Pax’s slobbery tennis ball. It’s very cute. They know we are about to have a fun, magical time and join us. They play swoop us for attention which is hilarious 😆

With another migraine today I have spent in my room with my black curtains down in bed with my two girls at my side. . I am havig frequent migraines, leg cramps, and frequent peeing. Thank God all this is temporary. I have one %@#$%& I had to send Hubby for a large jar of pickles to drink juice to stop cramps yesterday. As long as there are no gaint carrots talking to me I am good. My girls have been my champs lying by my side all day only getting up to go outside or eat. They have been sleeping with me, giving little nuge, or a kiss 💋. As if to say we got you Mom. We know you can do this. My girls are awesome.🌻💕💗🌞

…who wanted to help by eating the candle I had prepared with an intention for a drum journey and meditation. He doesn’t get at all, why I was like, no, don’t eat the candle! I know it looks like a bully stick, but don’t !🤣

Sharing with my dogs gives me so much joy, also a great deal of drool, but I was prepared with paper towel under Zebs paws 🤪 😍 It's a longer video, so please dont feel obligated to watch it all 😅🫣
