Dogs' Body Language

Dogs are popular as pets. They are adorable because they always let us know their feelings and minds with their body language. To understand their feelings, we need to know what their body language means.

HAPPPINESS
When they waggle their tails, wriggle their bodies and bark with cheerful voice, that means they are happy. And some dogs show us their teeth. It is said that they have learned how to smile from people.

RESPECT
When they drop their body on the ground, that means they don't think of us as their enemies. When they lie down on the ground and show us their tummy, that means they obey us. This is the strongest expression for them to express that they respect us.

CAUTION
When they turn their ears forward, close their mouths and raise their tails, that means they caution about something. They stand in an upright position like that so that they can see wide view then pay attention.

CALMING SIGNAL
Calming Signal is their body language to avoid fighting when they are upset, scared and stressed out. For example, they yawn suddenly, withdraw their eyes from our eyes, blink more than usual, screw up their eyes, move their tongue in and out of their mouths many times, shake their bodies, scratch their bodies, smell their paws suddenly, etc. That means they don't want to fight, they try to calm themselves down, and they are anxious.
If your dog did something bad, you would be upset with him. In this situation, have you ever seen your dog start yawning, shaking his body or scratching his body? Then you might have thought that he didn't understand what he had done was bad thing. Then you might have started yelling at him. But actually, he did understand that he had done was something bad and you were upset with him. So he was trying to calm you down because he didn't want you to upset with him.

Plants Have Souls

when I saw kurumi's blog, suddenly I curious about reaction of plants. So I found article about plants' thing. Plants are intelligent forms of life who are capable of intention, preference, and a will to survive, thrive and interact. Scientific research indicates that plants communicate with insects, animals, human beings and other plants in order to keep themselves alive and safe. Evidence also reveals that plants are telling us how to achieve health and wholeness for humanity and the earth herself.

Plants Are Just Like People

In research which spands more than 100 years, scientists have been documenting botanical adaptability and the amazing similarities that plants have with animals and people. Studies indicate that what metaphysicians, psychics, shaman, tribal people and sensitives worldwide have been saying about the plant kingdom for millennium is true: plants are intelligent beings who can communicate with us, and, we can communicate with them.

You Can Hurt a Plant’s Feelings

Plants respond not only to insects and animals but to human emotion and intention. Plants can distinguish between people who are feel kindly towards them and people who don't, and our green friends cooperate with people they like. In one experiment a new scientist came to study some test plants. Surprisingly, these test plants which previously had been very responsive, were completely non-responsive during the new scientist's tests. Investigating the change in the plants' response, it was discovered that the new scientist incinerated his plants in his own personal research once his tests were completed. Shortly after the new scientist left, the plants again began registering activity and cooperating. In another study, scientists found that vegetation reacted negatively to people who found the plants unattractive, even to the extent that the plants would "faint." When over stimulated by emotions, plants will "go unconscious" or numb and can stay " moody" for weeks. Scientific studies show that once plants attune themselves to a particular person, they are able to maintain a link with that person, no matter how far away. These plants register "knowing" not only when a person is returning to the plants, but when the person makes the decision to return. Other reports show that plants respond to people talking to them in a caring, loving manner, such as asking a tree to radically change its growth direction so that it won't have to be cut, or asking weeds not to grow excessively in a vegetable garden.

Is it amazing? Also I heard that plants can listen music. One flower garden uses classic music to improve their quality. After listening music to flowers, owner can earn more money.
Yes, even though they can't speak, they can understand at all.
Be careful in front of flowers and love them ^^\

voca:

botanical : the scientific study of plants and their structure.
incinerate : to burn stn until it is completely destroyed.
attune : make receptive or aware.

Elephants never forget

They have a long nose, big ears and cute small eyes on their big face,, yes they are elephants.
People say that "elephants never forget". Let me talk about these wise animals, elephants.

Elephants are mammals. They are the largest land animals that alive today. The number of elephants has been decreasing because people hunt them to get their ivory and skin. They are endangered today.

They have great memory so people say that "elephants never forget". They can listen to our language. If I speak in Japanese and you speak English, it is said that elephants can notice that you and I use different languages. For example, people from Masai used to kill elephants so elephants are afraid of people who speak Masai's language. Especially elephants are afraid of men from Masai because men used to kill them. They remember that women didn't hurt them. They have high mentality.

In the Hindu religion, they believe the god named Ganeza. Ganeza has a Human's body with a big tummy and 4 arms but its face is elephant with a broken ivory. In the religion, people believe that Ganeza removes difficulties from their life then brings happiness in their life. People also believe the god as a god of wisdom and knowledge.

When I went to a zoo last year, I saw two elephants which were performing in front of many audiences. Then a trainer of the elephants told us that elephants are very wise so they never forget what they have experienced. After I heard that story, I looked over about elephants on Internet because I wondered if it was true story what the trainer of the elephants said at the zoo. The Internet says the exactly same thing "elephants never forget". And when I found the story about the god of Hindu religion, I thought it was very interesting because the god has elephant's face and it is believed as a god of wisdom and knowledge. I'm not sure if it is said so because elephants are wise animals but I was very impressed by these facts.

Power of Tones

Do you know that tones have power to make you feel relaxed?

Don't you feel relaxed when you listen to your favorite music?
Don't you feel relaxed when you hear the sound of the wave and the murmur of the brook?
It is because those sounds have an effect to heal your heart psychologically.
The effect of the sounds have been attracting people recently.


Relaxation music has both regular sound like a metronome and irregular sound like a noise of the radio. These two sounds harmonize well with each other. We have the same kind of rhythms in our bodies. That is why we can feel the slight comfortable tones of the sounds and our brain and tension of the muscle can be relaxed.

I take TOEIC class at ATC. TOEIC class is difficult for me so when I finish it, I am always tired. But music is always played during our break time in ATC so I can feel relaxed even after the difficult TOEIC class.

My favorite relaxation music is Beatles' music.

What's your favorite relaxation music??
