Do Your Pets Meditate?

Animals are extremely sensitive creatures. Anyone with a pet has observed how they are almost intuitive and drawn to us when we are hurt, ill or simply unhappy. These spiritual creatures offer so many benefits to us for mental, physical and spiritual wellness.

Cats, in particular, are quiet and mysterious animals that are very sensitive to both positive and negative energy. They are said to be good “feng shui” as a result. With their natural grace and flexibility, they often appear to be performing yoga poses when they stretch.

My four cats are drawn to the positive energy of my movements when I’m practicing yoga or meditating. They circle me and nudge me and purr loudly. While it is said that you should avoid all distractions during meditation, this is most welcome since the energy seems to benefit them as well. One of them, Lamont, even mimics my poses and stretches and rubs, purring all the while. While I’m meditating, he sits directly in front of me and squints his eyes while purring. It is SO funny to observe. As a result of this spiritual behavior my husband once referred to him as the Dali Lam(ont).
His nickname is now officially the “Dali Lam”. 🙂

And while yoga is good for your spirit, it is also incredibly rejuvenating for your body – especially your skin. The inverted poses and complete relaxation of your face muscles encourage firmer skin and fewer wrinkles. Ancient writings about yoga describe the oldest yogis with smooth skin and no gray hairs. Makes sense to us! So does this mean my cats will age more gracefully too? The same goes for meditation. The benefits of meditation are endless for mental, physical and spiritual health. So try some yoga or meditation today for the anti aging benefits and make sure your pets are in the room to benefit and entertain!
