Dogs
Tilly
by Maria Lisa Polegatto

Who ever said you need a dog was right! Words cannot express how much dogs can bring to your life. The bountiful unending joy starts as soon as you see them and stays with you forever. While dogs don't talk like we do, they reach us beyond mere words.​

It's easy for global events to sway our emotions from recurring highs and lows. We need to find ways to stay in higher vibrations to balance our emotions which balance our mind, body and soul. My favorite way to stay in balance is to spend time with the miraculous world of nature. Albert Einstein was right, in my opinion, when he said to "look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."

The Truth Of Your Thoughts

One thing I have learned over the years is that many people will claim to know you, know your thoughts and actions, but, no one knows you like you do or knows your true thoughts. You are the only master of your thoughts and only you can steer them toward your true desires.

​Balance in life​ is important to get through all moments in life whether happy or sad. It is something we take for granted when we have it, but feel so out of sorts when we lose it. There are lots of ways to stay in balance with some being better than others.

The world can place a lot of demands on us every day. From waking up to sleeping, we mostly  run through our chores, not our joys. And in doing so we forget we need to take our joy with us everywhere we go and in everything we do. 
As many demands you have, there are always more ready to come toward you. Learn how to organize your thoughts, actions and results.

​The current state of the world requires a great deal of reflection.  While the world is spinning out of control, the economy sees no room to step aside to funnel itself to improve the situation, concerned only with increasing its flow of exchange.

​There has been two things in life that taught me how to love, not fear. One is my faith in God and the other is how animals have taught me love attracts while fear repels. I would not want to live any other way.

Most people think you use your intuition by thinking hard about something. Instead, just let life flow and lead you. Intuition isn’t planned. It just happens.

Have you ever been somewhere, about to do something, and you got a feeling not to do it? That’s your intuition talking to you. It comes right up your body and into the sixth chakra of your third eye and puts you on alert. Pay attention to it.

Nature Makes Me Joyful

Nature always comforts me, heals me, restores me. People, places and things can be fulfilling but they come and go in life. Nature on the other hand is always reliable, truthful and dependable. It never fails me. If I cry leaving, it is because I want more of it, not because it ever hurt me deep inside.  Instead it calls out to my soul and I connect with it with a feeling I am at home in the safety of His arms surrounding me with His love.

As the world goes on twirling around us, events are unfolding that bring us both joy and sadness. Life teaches us how to be stronger and more resilient through the vastness of our soul. That vital part of us that sparks our life on conception when His hand reaches down, touches our heart to start it beating and breathes life within us. Not only does our soul have life, but it also gives us the thirst for knowledge, fulfillment, and love. Those first moments span into a lifetime searching for happiness to allow our soul to express and fulfill us.

​
As I stand in the forest, I am reminded of the wisdom the trees possess, after years of quietly watching the world around them while holding roots with each other in their close-knit family. They have the joy of watching wildlife come and go in their branches, giving shelter and food to sustain life while drinking fresh water to prevent floods of the trickling streams, rivers, lakes and oceans nearby. How powerful nature is as it freely grows and allows us to grow with it.

One foot in front of the other, one step before the next, one moment in time is all it takes. Spending time in the present takes you away from the past and lets you savor every moment as the future waits its time to arrive. Rushing only complicates the sequence that needs time to unfold relaxed and confident.

We live in a world so in need of healing, yet to do so we need to take the time to achieve it. We need to allow our heart to open to the many possibilities before us. Healing starts within you, deep within your heart, and it radiates out to your body as it pulses through you. We need only relax and accept it.

Truly You

​Spending time at the ocean meditating on the rolling waves as they breathe in and out, reminds me of being a child spending every moment I could at the water. The water has natural healing abilities that wash away the busy of the world and allow us to relax and bounce back to who we truly are when there are no pressures and demands placed upon us.

Oneness Meditation. Oneness can be defined as the state of unification.  Let me  take you along on the journey.
by Maria Lisa Polegatto
Also published by the Edge Magazine


Oneness can be defined as the state of unification.  I find the best way to embrace the reality of oneness is by going into nature to feel connected with the earth and everything on it.

I am blessed to have a peninsula at the ocean that has the stillness of the lake on one side and the roaring ocean waves on the other creating an incredible healing vortex. While it is a long drive to get there, I am always relaxed and humbled upon my return. Let me take you on the journey. This exercise is best done outside in the free-flowing energy of nature, but you can also meditate anywhere you are.

It is easy to get discouraged with events around the world to what is happening in our own neighborhoods, even climate is changing and so are we to be able to adapt to it.  ​​

​
Reports of people seeing Angels come from all over the world. Some with events of unexplained happenings in times of tragedy that disappear into the ether. Do Angels exist? In my opinion, yes. They comfort us in times of sorrow, they lead us away from danger, they give us signs, they rejoice with us.

As published online at The Edge Magazine

​Massage is so relaxing and soothing in moments when you can let go of pain and the energy it steals away. That sounds so good, but, what if you have injuries, trauma or other reasons why you can’t get massage, not even the lightest touch? While you may think that could be rare, it does happen. So what do you do instead?

Whales and Sustainability: The Ocean's Ecosystem Engineers.  The oceans are not just vast, they are home to many marine species, including whales, that we are still learning about.
by Maria Lisa Polegatto

The oceans are not just vast, they are home to many marine species, including whales, that we are still learning about. Unfortunately, with warming temperatures melting arctic ice, negative effects are expected on the environment and marine ecosystems (Vacquie-Garcia et al., 2017), forcing whales to leave their feeding grounds in search of food (WWF, 2017).

Intuition Leads Me. Being in tune with oneself can lead to many benefits, some of which can not be fully explained. Intuition is more than knowing the phone is going to ring before it does. It is the knowing and feeling you are on the right path, when you need to change your path to avert danger and having knowledge about things that others have done and left unsaid before you.

When I seek inspiration, I go out into nature. It never disappoints in any season.
