The Morning Chatter: Sunrise

The Morning Chatter: Sunrise

(With music)

I used to be a "night owl" and still can be but I also have a great love for getting up at "o-dark-thirty". There is something magical in the moments just before the sun rises. There is a stillness, peace and calm feeling just before nature seems to wake up. The air feels different and the energy in the moment also has such a lovely feeling to it. I usually go outside to fill the bird feeders and make sure there is water in the birdbath. Sometimes the stars are still shining and I see the moon in the sky. Often in the warmer months a single deer or a family are laying down just watching me go about my chores.

In an instant, if you take a moment to pause and notice, you will notice that the sky is getting lighter and  nature is beginning to stretch and yawn. It is as if all the wild ones are helping the sun rise up through the trees. The birds begin singing and calling. Can't you just feel and hear it all?

Please enjoy this edition of The Morning Chatter as the sun begins to glow between tree trunks. The air is making the leaves and branches of the trees move, dance and sing their song. Just take a moment and BE. BE with the sun and feel it glowing as you connect with all of nature through your feet on the ground.

The Morning Chatter: Rudy & Chipmunk

The Morning Chatter

Rudy & Chipmunk

There is always something or someone catching Rudy's attention each morning. Always so much activity as the world wakes up and begins a new day. Rudy keeps watch over his kingdom and gets the "morning chatter". The Morning Chatter can be the news of the day. Each of the animals as well as insects and other begins bring news from far and wide as well as the local gossip. You never know who will show up and what they might have to say. 

This morning a chipmunk happily fills his cheeks with sunflower seeds as Rudy watches. 

What news to you receive when you connect with them? So much fun....

The Morning Chatter: Slug & Ant

The Morning Chatter

The Slug & the Ant

I think back on all the times that I felt the need to "get rid of" the slugs in the garden. Why? What did they do to me? Ok... they would eat the veggies that I planted and other things but did they really do that much harm? Did they deserve the various ways that I tried to "get rid" of them? NO! 

In this moment I happened to be walking toward something totally unrelated to a slug when I looked down and saw this one slowly but very steadily moving across my path heading somewhere. Something "told" me to get my iPhone out and record a video. I did. In the moment I connected with the slug. What a sweet soul. Maybe you might join me for a moment and watch this video and feel the slug. Feel what it is experiencing in just BEING and living. I love the antennae and its mouth as the body just seems to float on the hard surface. 

Then there is the ant that appears in the top left corner at first. I did not notice the ant until I first viewed this video. Can you "hear" or feel their communication as they notice each other. The ant is very quick and seems curious about the slug. Oh there is a very quick back and forth between them as they meet and then go their separate ways. 

I hope you enjoy this very brief moment with a slug and ant and maybe your will look at them through different eyes. I know I did.

The Morning Chatter: Butterflies & Flowers

The Morning Chatter: Flowers & Butterflies

Summer is in full swing here on the east coast of the USA. The butterfly bush provides a playground attracting many visitors. I never know who will show up. The energy is always lively and at times serious but I mostly feel light and playful. 

This day there was a hummingbird moth and several different butterflies as well as a bumble bee flitting around gathering and drinking nectar. Other insects can be heard singing and chattering away along with crows cawing while other birds put their two cents in. 

Each day we should either go outside or look our our windows for a moment to connect with some form of nature and just listen. Breathe in the natural life and energy that is all around us no matter where we live. Take a moment and feel your connection with Mother Earth through your feet on the ground or floor and relax as you watch and listen to the video below. 

It is best watched full screen with the sound turned up. 

Can you hear the hummingbird moth as it buzzes by?

The Morning Chatter: Rudy's Deer Friends

The Morning Chatter: Rudy's Deer Friends

It was a beautiful early spring morning in April. The cherry blossoms were in bloom and the early spring flowers were dancing every so daintily in the cool air. Rudy was on his porch watching over his deer friends. They often come for their breakfast of fallen birdseed and cracked corn. Last years fawn, now almost one year old now, love to play and scamper around the yard. Rudy is usually fixated on them as they greet each other with a morning hello. 

As you watch and listen to this video, take a slow in and out breath and feel as if you are with Rudy observing the deer family. Feel who they are and connect with them on a deeper level. Imagine the cool spring air and feel the greenery coming alive. Listen for the songs of the various birds that are filled with such joy to have another morning to sing. 

I hope you join in the conversation. The conversation of just "being". Be in the moment and feel the communion of all nature coming to life and waking up.

The Morning Chatter: Woodpecker

The Morning Chatter: Woodpecker

I was working in my office and I saw something moving outside my office window out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and had to take off my computer glasses to clearly see what it was. A pileated woodpecker. You know the Woody Woodpecker kind. He or she was happily pecking away at the bark of a dead dogwood tree.

I love the rythm that can be found in all life. There is a beat to everything, we just need to listen. There is a song and a dance and a communication. All we need to do is be still and listen. Music is a universal language just like interspecies telepathic communication. So listen and feel the beat of this wonderful being and celebrate his/her dance.

Ah The Morning Chatter comes is all forms. We just need to open, feel and listen.

Turn up your volume and dance along with us....

The Morning Chatter: Meditation with Mushrooms & Deer

Wild Mushrooms & Deer

It was September and the sun was lowering in the west as I was walking in our yard. This was the largest crop of orange/yellow mushrooms ever. As I began to photograph them Mommy, my deer friend, and family began to come into our yard for their evening snack.

This was a special moment in time where the earth energy and the animals of nature were very strong and yet so sweet.

Please enjoy as I share this special moment with you. Feel the wisdom of the mushrooms and their connection to the earth and wood and trees as the deer are enjoying life.....

The Morning Chatter: Snow

Snow

There is something magical about fresh falling snow. The air feels and smells different and the world feels fresh and clean. 

Rudy invites you to join him in the stillness and wonder of the Morning Chatter in the snow.

The Morning Chatter: Stillness

Sometimes the mornings are quiet. The chatter needs no words or sounds. The messages and communication come in the beauty of the stillness as in the moments just before the dawning of the new day. 

This morning was such a time. The temperatures were below 5 degrees F with snow on the ground from the day before. There is a quiet and a stillness in the outside world as the sun began to come through the trees. 

This was my view through the window this morning as I settled to begin my Reiki practice and meditation. Can you too feel the connection to the earth and the heavens as the sun begins to let all beings know it is time for a new day? Feel your connection to the animals as they begin to arrive, say hello and continue with their day. The "chatter" is more quiet today but the communication and communion is quite clear and profound. 

In the beauty and stillness may you have a moment to breathe it all in and fill your heart and soul with the love of "The Morning Chatter".  

The Morning Chatter

The Morning Chatter with Rudy and friends.

Animal Paradise - Communication & Healing is proud to present The Morning Chatter with Rudy and Friends. The purpose and goal of Animal Paradise is to bring a deeper understanding and relationship between humans, the animal kingdoms and all creation through interspecies telepathic communication and healing energy or love.

Enjoy this video for it will introduce you to the "Spirit" of The Morning Chatter.
Rudy meditates with me each morning as the world wakes up. If you live with a kitty you are most likely familiar with the "chattering" sound they make when they see a bird, chipmunk or other critter they would be interested in playing with. The chattering is to me a fun communication. I hope you enjoy Rudy and friends.

During warmer months I do my morning meditation outside on our porch with Rudy. As the sun rises the night beings slumber while the earth seems to come alive as the beings of the daylight rise and go about their daily lives.

Did you know that the birds bring the news of the day; both local, national and international? Who needs CNN when we have the birds and the other news networks of Mother Nature? We humans just need to quiet ourselves and listen.

The squirrels begin to come down from the trees seeking fresh sunflower seed on the ground below the bird feeders. Various species of birds arrive checking to see if new birdseed has "magically" appeared in the various feeders. One arrives and then calls out in beautiful song to family and friends announcing that breakfast is served on Paradise Lane!

Usually at least one family of deer come visit for breakfast. They too carry news and messages. I will share them another day.
