Meditation with your pets

I would like to talk to you about MEDITATION with your pets.
​
I have personally shared meditation with my pets for many years and cannot imagine living without it. 
Sharing our meditation practice with our animals affects them physically, mentally and emotionally.
They are very sensitive to our inner emotional and mental state.
​
Doing mindful meditation with your pet can help him experience peace and relaxation and also help with health issues and relieve discomfort.
It also helps us to connect deeply with ourselves and support the release of fear, worry and stress.
Just as our animals are affected when we are stressed or angry, when we meditate, they can sense our peacefulness and benefit from it.


​Here are some tips on how to meditate with your pet:

• Find a comfortable spot for your pet, maybe his favorite bed or blanket.
• Dim the lights. You want the atmosphere to be calm and relaxed to promote healing and wellness.
• Sit with your pet. You might consider saying an affirmation or prayer such as “ All is well’.
• Take a few deep breaths.
• You can do the meditation for five minutes or as long as you feel comfortable doing it.
• Just observe the behavior of your dog and cat and your own “monkey mind”.
• The power of meditation is amplified by repetition and can be a great bonding experience for both you and your furry friend.
• Last but not least meditation can be a blessing at the end of your pet's life.

Enjoy!
