What I learned from the dog at Dr. Teas

This is a spontaneous blog written from a wicked cool little tea shop called Dr. Teas which is right down the street from my house.

One of the guys that frequents this shop has a 1/2 beagle, 1/2 Chihuahua that loves to roam the space while he's writing. She's a super sweet little thing with a zen-like vibe. In fact, the owner says that Bridgette (the dog) was the one responsible for leading him to Kundalini Yoga when she wandered down the street and stopped right in front of his local yoga studio, causing him to go in and explore. How's that for a good friend?

So this dog cruises around the grounds, scoping for people that will give her love and in the most sweet, non-intrusive way, she literally rolls up and crashes into people. Man or woman, she doesn't discriminate.

And everyone falls in love.

I watched this dog work the room for about 15 minutes. She would get what she wanted and then gently move along to the next un-suspecting tea drinker, only to conquer their hearts within a moments notice. There was no trying, no forcing, and no begging. She was her, nothing more, nothing less, and everyone dug it.

This sweet creature has a lot to teach us. What do you think?

About Max Simon

Growing up, I was surrounded by the some of the world’s most respected teachers of spirituality, consciousness, and mind-body medicine. As I evolved, I was ingrained with the tools of awareness and trained on how to transmit this knowledge to the world around me. At the age of 22, I joined the world-renowned Chopra Center for Wellbeing and became the youngest meditation, yoga and Ayurveda teacher in their history. As someone who could integrate ancient wisdom into modern times, I spent the next four years traveling the world alongside Deepak Chopra M.D. and my father David Simon M.D. teaching thousands of people meditation, yoga, and Ayurveda at their prestigious workshops and events. In 2007, I stepped back and realized that the modern world would not be open to learning these valuable tools unless it was brought to them in a different package. With the intention of giving meditation a fresh new look and feel, I founded The selfcentered Tour, a meditation inspired revolution for authenticity seekers. Through our events, workshops, Awareness Architects Teacher Trainings, gear, CORE Team, and content driven website, our vision is to inspire one million people to spend time each day with their eyes closed tapping into their silent inner-self.
