I decided I wanted change how cold i felt when taking our shih tzu pup, Gizmo out in the frosty winter mornings. a year ago, I hypnotized myself : I imagined I was on a great stretch of beach at Ocean city , MD ( just me and Gizmo) walking along, stopping occasionally to look out at the waves rolling in that great rhythm of life coming in, going out; feeling the velvety smooth sand under my bare feet; smiling with the warm breeze just whispering at my cheek; a comfortable 65-70 degrees this morning: The orange yellow ball rising in the baby blue sky sending out some purple and pink streaks;  Gizmo, my best fur buddy was doing that little trot that small dogs do..I felt warm and energized and peaceful all at the same time. I imagined this so vividly as I repeated to myself.." I'm at this beach when I take gizmo out in the cold morning. I'm warm enough to not feel any cold on my skin; though my conscious mind knows it may be 15 ,20, 30 degrees and there may be some frost or snow..my deeper wiser mind is able to allow me to feel warmth...to be here in my mind with him...I'm at the beach.
