It's Zoo Time!

A lot of inspirations I gather for my life and for my teachings come from the beautiful animals we share this planet with. Each animal is as unique as is each human. There is something so captivating about these animals and the way that they each have different skills that they instinctively use to survive in life .When we really look deep enough beyond the material world we also realise that we have been gifted with everything we need in life to be all that we may be.

I was fortunate enough to have recently gone on an adventure to the iconic Australia Zoo. This is a wonderful Zoo with beautiful open spaces for the animals to be. I thought I would share with you just a few happy snaps from that day that was.

 umm did someone say too cute?

I got to feed Sabu some Zucchini :-) I LOVE ELEPHANTS!

(they even had a shrine in place for the Hindu God Ganesha)

Words can not describe the beauty and power

A wise old tortise cruisin' at its own pace....

BE CURIOUS...........

View from the office @ ourano yoga

Curiosity allows for possibilities. Curiosity allows for growth and curiosity can be just the key to awaken to a higher consciousness.

As I write this I take regular breaks to simply stare and daze off. I am staring and observing the life I see out of my office window (as per the picture above - I’m blessed with a beautiful view). The trees, the birds singing and the clouds in the sky all make me curious. Why does one tree not look like another?  Why are some flowers blossoming and others are not? I could be here for ever asking a million questions and be doing it continually for a very long time.  But there is a strong presence beyond my human body and beyond my mind that makes me completely relaxed and at peace with every question I pose and to the answers that I seek. This presence makes me understand in no direct way that everything around me is life. Everything has a purpose whether it is clear to me or not. Everything has true meaning. We have all been placed here in complete harmony. Whether we maintain that harmony and balance is up to us.

We are all beautiful unique expressions of life and I believe by me simply having the ability to look around and be curious it brings me into this complete present moment. It is in these moments when I take myself out of my daily routine that puts my life into perspective. Sometimes we honestly need those daily reminders to help us acknowledge that indeed there is more to us than our to do lists. “Curiosity validates our existence. To be curious is to be optimistic.” As quoted by Patrick Lindsay.

Take moment’s every day to look around. Observe, marvel and appreciate all of life around you as well as within you with complete trust that everything is exactly as it’s meant to be.
