When There's a Wils, There's a Way.Today I'm tired. I asked the universe to help get me to a peaceful, quiet place and mother earth to help ground me. I listened to All 9 Solfeggio Frequencies - Healing Power of Music & Ancient Tones Therapy in 90 Minutes. When settled, I put the request out for anyone who wanted to talk with me, especially, knowing my state of mind, someone who would be a perfect match. After a few seconds, I got a visual of a dog who looked liked a Weimaraner, sitting obediently and expectantly. The visual didn't go away, so I asked if he wanted to talk. He shifted and wagged his tail. After introductions, I learned his name is Wils and he lives on a farm in Austria.
"How do I know you're really talking to me?" I asked — still not convinced, I guess, after all these conversations. The view of him became a close-up of his lower body and he whipped me in the head with his wagging tail. "Got it." I had to laugh at the clear and succinct communication! "Why do you feel you're perfect to talk to me today?" I inquired. "You needed a pause. I have four of them," said Wils. "Most dogs have four paws," I challenged. "Physically and mentally, mine are a long way from you. The distance is what you need to see the big picture. Remember? It's what you're good at," said the big dog. "It's easy to get caught up in the moments and forget about the big picture," I said in my defense. To which he responded, "You always have the option to step back, look at things differently, change your view, and even switch paths. I leave my options open always." I wanted to know that secret. "How do you do that?" "If it stops being fun, I take a break and visit somewhere else. Usually when I get back, things look different and I can approach it in a healthier way." "Where do you go?" I wondered to him. "I live in the countryside, so have lots of space to clear my head or fill it with interesting and wonderful things. Sometimes, it's those little things that are more magical than the big ones." "You mean like chasing a rabbit somewhere or listening to birds talk or teasing the sheep?" I offered some options. "Exactly," he said. "But I also 'live' in other places and visit those when I wish." I understood this to mean he is able to "visit" other lives in other places or times and enjoy that for a while — simultaneously with his farm life in Austria. "Most people can't do that, though," I stated. "Most people can, but don't know how. You are doing a version of it now. In a way, you are here with me, not on the couch in your home. You can see me, you can see where I live. You are doing that through meditation, visualization, imagination. I am simply a tour guide who is inviting you to see certain things." "You're saying I can do this kind of thing any time I want? Any time I want a change in perspective or a break from things that are becoming bogged down in little stuff?" "Yes. It does take some practice. You have begun." His voice was low and grounded. "But isn't that just like running away from your problems?" I asked. "If you see it that way, it's up to you. The way I see it is that it is a reminder that you create your perspectives. You can step up or step back, put that in or take that out, feel this or decide to feel that. I haven't give you this conversation, this experience with me. We have created it together. The same is true in your physical life. If you don't like what's going on, first take a look at your part in it. See what you can change. See what's 'essential' or what can be rearranged to suit you better," said this voice of experience. I understood that when he said "essential" in quotes, it was because he felt nothing is really essential. I was sold. "Okay, what you are saying makes a lot of sense. Anything else?" "That sense of humor you are known for? Keep it. It's what will help you stay on track. It does essentially the same thing as what I am suggesting: helps you step back from something and look at it from a different perspective and not take things so seriously. Believe me, no one ever looks back and wishes they had been more serious and had less fun." Not one to simply take someone's word for it, I responded, "I can think of situations where it probably would have been a good thing for some people to take things a little more seriously and been not so focused on just the fun." "Of course there are no hard and fast rules. And leave it to you to point something like that out. Forgot who I was talking to. But you get my point, right?" "Definitely. And I'm feeling much better. Thank you for the 'tour' and your wisdom!" "My pleasure," said this far-away new friend. "Stay cool. Stay calm. Stay fun(ny)." "See ya, Wils. Have fun with those rabbits." "You betcha."
