Pets are wonderful meditations

The goal of the Meditation Challenge, and especially the 21 day Meditation Circles, is to change the way we “think” about meditation.  Meditation isn’t about locking ourselves in a room with absolute peace and quiet, and sitting in an uncomfortable position with our eyes closed for a specified amount of time.  Who would want to meditate like this?

Meditation, we learn from the 21 day program, is a joyous activity of BEING in the moment.  It is about being fully present in the moment, and feeling that aliveness within.

With this definition, pets can be our meditations. 

Many people claim they don’t have time to meditate or that they do not have the ability to specify a specific time every day to devote to meditation.  If you are one of these people, I would invite you to have your pets BE your meditation.

For example, many times when I am sitting at my computer in my home/office, my cat Vinnie will come up to me and meow and want attention.  He is a wonderful meditation timer.  Now, I stop what I’m doing, if only for a minute or so, and sit on the floor with him and BE with him.  My petting of my cat becomes my meditation. 

Pets live fully in the moment, and you can join them in the NOW if you choose too!  So next time you think you don’t have time to meditate.  Sit down with your pet and BE with your pet.  Make that your meditation.  You will gain so much from it, and of course your pet will too!
