Krönika

Kärleken har allting, du kan till och med höra vingslagen från änglarna, berättade min 10-åriga dotter Olivia. ”Hör du dem, mamma?” frågade hon mig.

Min och gatuhundarnas krönika finns nu att läsa pa Tidningen Naras Hemsida. 

Hoppas ni gillar den och deras mindfulness. 

That's Amore!

Alaska a Beautiful Place

It was a long flight but we finally made it to Alaska. What an amazing place, we definitely want to go back and do some more hiking. The air was light to breath, the daylight was amazing until midnight, the nature was fantastic. We were invited to a wedding that I wouldn't miss for the world. A very special woman that I met for the first time in North Carolina 2004 together with her family.

I was so amazed that my children got to met her, this sparkling warm hearted woman.

Of course I got Happy Tears during the ceremony. I couldn't help thinking how fast time really goes and that we don't know anything about life--future. Only to dream big and have Faith.

Thank you beautiful Ashley for having me watching your big day, together with your lovely husband Mr. Castro (did I mention I went to Sarajevo?)

Mosquito and bear spray packed!

Hiking and dancing shoes packed!

Alaska, here we come.

Broken Souls has Strong Healing Ability to other Broken Souls

One family wanted to adopt a dog from my organization. The family was immediately very open about what their family situation looked like.

I was extremely grateful for their openness, it meant that I could quickly find a dog that matched their energies. A few months earlier, their daughter had tried to commit suicide. Now the family felt that a dog could help their daughter to "heal", of course, along with their doctors and therapists. But, they reasoned, to have a four-legged friend who slept with her, agreed on walks, someone to confide in, and was there full of love, would be beneficial for her. Also, the demand for routines upon their daughter if she was responsible for a dog would additionally help to ground her and help her to heal.

Of course the whole family wanted a new family member, the time was right for all. There were many cute big dogs with a high-energy factor, but I had an overweight little brown female dog who had spent two years in a cage down in south Italy.

A dog with high energy to a home that are working so hard to heal, would not be good --- its high energies could activate and add more stress for the the family and situation. The family needed a cool dog who knew what she wanted, loved life (and food) and to only wanted belong to a family.

When Iris arrived to the family, she chose right away the daughter's bedroom to become her bedroom as well.  Is it that a "broken" soul recognizes another's "broken" soul?

The dog Iris also had a claim to the daughter, “I'm there for you, but you also need to stay alive and be there for me."

When the daughter woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, Iris sat up in her basket and waited calmly until she came back.

Every day I received updates from the family about how much they all loved Iris.

"Mia, we never dreamed that our daughter would feel as good as she does after only four months after our beloved dog's arrival. "Iris therapy" really worked 100%. Best dog Ever!”

This business of "Rescue Dogs" really has a double meaning and paradox: is it we who save them, or is it they who will save us? Who really saves whom?

They ended their email: “We just got the dog we wanted, quiet, contact seeking, loving and ‘personal and wacky’ in a wonderful way. Greetings, family Iris "

When we see each other's inside strength and beauty, discounting the outside of temporary weakness, then we can help and be helped. This is what is called unconditional perfection in the circle of life. About everyone's right to live, love and seek happiness!

That's Amore!

The Iris family gave me permission to publish their story

Trasiga själar hjälper varandra till läkning

En familj ville gärna adoptera en hund av mig. Familjen var med en gång väldigt öppna med hur deras familjeförhållande såg ut. Jag var oerhört tacksam över deras öppenhet, det gör att jag snabbare kunde finna en hund som matchade deras energier. 

Ett par månader tidigare hade deras dotter försökt begå självmord. Nu kände familjen att en hund skulle kunna hjälpa deras dotter till att ”läkas”, naturligtvis tillsammans med andra läkare och samtalsterapeuter.

Att ha en vän som sov tillsammans med henne, gick med på skogspromenader, någon att kunna anförtro sig till och som fanns där full av kärlek. Dessutom ställdes det krav på dottern, att hon också skulle finnas där med rutiner som infaller när man skaffar en hund.

Naturligtvis var hela familjen med på att ha en ny familjemedlem, tiden var mogen för alla. Där fanns många gulliga stora hundar med hög energifaktor, men jag hade en överviktig liten brun hundflicka som suttit två år i en bur nere i Italien.

En hund med hög energi till ett hem som arbetar med att läkas, ska inte ha höga energier som kan aktivera och tillföra mera stress. Familjen behövde en cool tik som visste vad hon ville, älskade livet (och mat) och att få tillhöra en familj.

När Iris anlände till familjen valde hon med en gång dotterns sovrum till sitt sovrum. Är det så att en ”trasig” själ känner igen en annans ”trasig” själ?

Men hunden Iris hade också ett krav till dottern: Jag finns där för dig, men du måste också stanna kvar i livet och finnas där för mig.

När dottern vaknade mitt i natten för att gå upp till badrummet satte sig Iris upp i sin korg och väntade lugnt tills hon kom tillbaka.  Varje dag fick jag uppdateringar med hur mycket de alla älskade Iris.

”Mia, vi kunde aldrig drömma om att vår dotter skulle må så bra som hon nu gör redan efter fyra månader efter vår älskade hunds ankomst. ”Iris-terapin” funkade verkligen till 100 %. Bästa hunden!
Det här med ”Rescuedogs”, får verkligen en dubbel innebörd: Är det vi som räddar dem, eller är det de som räddar oss? Vem räddar vem egentligen?Vi fick precis den hunden vi ville ha, lugn, kontaktsökande, kärleksfull samt ´personlig och knäpp´ på ett underbart sätt. Hälsningar Familjen Iris”

När vi ser varandras innersta styrka utanpå den temporära svagheten, kan vi hjälpa dem och de hjälper oss. Detta är vad som kallas villkorslös fullkomlighet, i livets cirkel. För allas rätt att leva!

That’s Amore!

Mia har fått godkännande av familjen att publicera deras historia. 

My Brave Girl

A little more than a year ago she fell off a big horse and broke her femur. Hospital and wheelchair and loosing a lot in school made her very sad.

She didn't want to start going back to the Ridingschool again because of memories 

We found together a new rising school and we couldn't be more happier than to find the best perfect horse for Olivia to win back her confidence 

Also big credit to her riding teacher Frau Hitsch.

What's Your Proud Achievement in Life

Many people ask me what I am most proud over! It's a difficult question to answer because there are many things I am proud over! However, one of my proudest moments is/are becoming a survivor. First I had to rescue myself before I could rescue anyone else. ❤️ 

Memories can never go away but I chose to use them rescuing other's without a voice! That's Amore!

What Kind of Language do the Animals Communicate in?

My column in Tidningen Nära 

What Kind of Language do the Animals Communicate in?

Can a foreign dog from Italy understand the Swedish language when adopted in that country?

The brilliance of animals is that they can communicate in any language.

Animals talk in images and emotions. Its as if we would see a silent film that changes shades like a mood ring. They have clarity in what they are sending and do not send out different or contradictory signals as we humans can do. We can say one thing but mean something completely different.

Children and animals have the cleanest and clearest communication.

What is scientifically proven is, when animals communicate (or small children) they transmit images. These inner images are 0.4 seconds faster than our spoken words. We can think of something and often the animal perceives (or receives) it.

Body language is of course also a major factor in the whole process of communication, just as with humans. However, the animals must be required to learn not their own language but also the human language.

Giovanni was a small terrier abandoned in a shelter. I sat down beside him and felt a tremendous sadness flowing from the little dog. He had lost someone he loved!

The owner of the shelter nodded, and told me that the dog’s owner had died, but the remaining members from the family didn’t want him. I laid down next to him and was only in the moment.

I was later told where his master was buried, and I took the dog with me to the cemetery. Directly, Giovanni jumped out and began to sniff, and then moved up to the newly made grave.

Later Giovanni jumped into the car and his energy field had changed. Several days later, we could see a huge difference in his behavior. He ate, and he eyes sparkled again.

At the cemetery, I could "think" the emotions in peace and quiet while Giovanni picked up "pictures". There was no one around that could interfere with us, with his or her negative feelings, or send pictures that they felt sorry for Giovanni. Pity turns into negative emotions and allows children and animals to translate them into a message of  "useless". They feel like “no one likes me”.

A few days later Giovanni was adopted. His new energies attracted the new family, an elderly couple, like his former master.

Animal Language has no words; energies can speak all languages. If we are clean and clear in our thoughts and flow we then become understandable. Swedish as well as  Italian.

That's Amore!

Vilket språk kommunicerar djuren på?

Både djur och barn har en ren kommunikation med bilder och känslor. 

Vilket språk kommunicerar djuren på?

Krönika av Mia Mattsson-Mercer

Kan en utländsk hund från Italien förstå det svenska språket? Begåvningen med djur, är att de kan kommunicera vilket språk som helst.

Djuren pratar i bilder och känslor. Som om vi skulle se en stumfilm. De har en klarhet och sänder inte ut olika signaler som vi människor kan göra. Vi kan säga en sak, men göra något helt annat. Barn och djur har den renaste kommunikationen. 

Vad som är vetenskapligt bevisat är när djur kommunicerar (eller små barn) sänder de bilder. Dessa inre bilder ligger 0,4 sekunder snabbare än det talande ordet. Vi kan tänka något och djuret uppfattar det oftast. 

Kroppsspråk är dessutom en stor faktor i det hela kommunikationsspråket, precis som med människor. Oftast måste djuren vara tvungna att lära sig människans språk också. 

Giovanni var en liten terrier som satt i ett shelter nere i södra Italien. Jag satte mig ned sidan om honom och kände en enorm sorg strömma från den lilla hunden. Han hade mist någon han älskade! 

Ägaren av sheltret nickade och berättade att hans husse hade dött, men resterande familjemedlemmar ville inte ha honom. Jag lade mig ned sidan om honom och bara var i situationen. 

Jag fick veta var hans husse var begraven och jag tog hunden med mig till kyrkogården. Direkt hoppade Giovanni ut och började sniffa, för att sedan gå fram till jordhögen.

Giovanni hoppade senare in i bilen och hans energifält hade förändrats. Flera dagar efteråt kunde vi se en enorm skillnad på hans beteende. Han åt och ögonen gnistrade igen. 

På kyrkogården kunde jag ”tänka” hela proceduren i lugn och ro medan Giovanni plockade upp ”bilderna”. Där fanns ingen runtomkring oss som kunde störa med sina negativa känslor eller skicka bilder att de tyckte synd om Giovanni. Tycka synd om förvandlas till negativa känslor och får barn och djur till att översätta dem till ”värdelösa”. De känner, ingen tycker om mig.

Giovanni blev adopterad ett par dagar senare. Hans ”talande” sätt lockade den nya familjen, ett äldre par, likt hans förra husse. 

Djurspråk har inga ord, endast energier och kan tala alla språk. Om vi är rena och klara i våra tankar blir flödet förståeligt. Svenskt som Italienskt.

That’s Amore!

Never Underestimate Me

Olivia is Back on Horse Back

This weekend we went to the riding school were Olivia is taking lessons. This time Olivia watched  the jumping competition. She was amazed and thrilled! Now she wants to start jumping again.

Olivia started a couple of weeks ago at Nordstetten taking lesson from Frau Hirsch

Olivias first riding out in the woods. Twice a week is she taking care of a handsome horse named Sunshine. In the picture is Maria who also takes care of Sunshine. She is very kind to Olivia helping her when feeling insecure.

Here they ride out and Olivia was HAPPY!

Olivia and the horse she takes care of "Sunshine" Olivia wants of course her own horse, but I think she is to young, we don't live on a farm however, this is a great way of getting experience.

Thats Amore!
