For the past 25 years, as part of my Animal Communication and Animal Reiki practice, I’ve meditated with animals. I’ve also taught my students the art of meditating with animals.
Animals are teachers, healers, and guides. The more I meditate with animals and listen to their musings with an open heart, the more conscious I become of my spiritual essence and interconnections with all species in the web of life.
Here are five lessons I’ve learned from meditating with animals:
- Animals mirror our strengths and challenges on the path of self-awareness. They also reflect our energetic state of being.
- Meditating with animals creates peaceful and balanced energy, which brings about healing in all aspects of our lives. The more we meditate, the more this compassionate healing energy ripples outward.
- Animals instinctively know that meditation includes all aspects of our being– body, mind, and spirit.
- Meditating with animals opens our hearts at a deep spiritual level to feel our oneness with life.
- Animals live in the present moment, which is a state of enlightenment.
Being on a spiritual path of self-discovery takes courage. Animals support us on our journey with their unconditional love, wisdom, and nonjudgement.
Meditating with animals is enlightening and transformative. When we meditate with them, we become more conscious of our true authentic selves at a spiritual level. They teach us how to listen with an open heart as they guide us home.
It’s also more fun to meditate with animals because they naturally put us in our heart centers which is a win-win.
