Meditation with our Animal Companions

✨meditation tip✨
​
Common wisdom generally advises to meditate in a room/ place alone where there won’t be any interruptions. I agree that minimizing interruptions is helpful but I also am hearing from more companion animals that they want to help their humans with practices such as meditation and energy work. ❤️

Personally I feel most calm and happy when my fur children are with me, which is conducive to being more grounded, and able to connect much more deeply during meditation and energy work. ❤️As I’ve mentioned before, they often actively assist me-but sometimes it is simply their presence, like one of them being on my lap or next to me during a guided visual meditation. I would not be as serene if the door was shut with them on the other side. 

And yes, leaving the door open occasionally leads to them asking for something during the work, like to go out to the catio or a meal. And that’s totally ok- I just push an imaginary “pause” button and come back to it. I have found that they have a sense of when a certain important section of a meditation is happening and they wait until the energy shifts before calling me. I’ve seen them actually check first.✨

So if you typically close the door, maybe experiment with leaving it open, or having your animal companion(s) in the room with you for a meditation. If some companions are in spirit invite them to join too.

🌟Close your eyes and notice how you feel. How does their presence affect your emotional state, heart rate? Are they purring or making dreaming sounds or gazing at you? Are they physically close or somewhere else in the room? How are they reacting? Begin a simple meditation you’ve done before and compare how it feels to have them there.🌟Acknowledge their presence and thank them for helping, for being there for you. ❤️

Let me know!😸I would love to hear if any of you make this shift and how it goes. Or if you already do.✨This photo is Gracie Belle on my meditation chair.
