‘The energy I could feel from her was nothing but positive.’: Anxious pup becomes filled with calm after joining dog mom’s meditation, raising questions concerning pupper mindfulness practices

The hustle and bustle of our modern lifestyles often leaves us with less time and patience than we would like to have in our lives. Our attention is constantly being vied for and without us even noticing we can very easily end up wrapped up in a whirlwind of worry and madness. So the suggestion that we might connect with our puppers on a deeper level by engaging in some sort of meditation, healing or magic work is an interesting, phoneless proposition that might seem a little manic at first but holds more water than you might think.

Energy work has long been considered the kind of hokum that is associated with witches and warlocks. But with the intensifying need to be a part of the online world one does have to take a look in the mirror and wonder if we are missing something real along the way. After all the online world we all wish to be a part of is in fact not real. It is held up by our shared investment and belief in it. So why should things like meditating and healing work be considered any different. If anything they hold a much more real place in this world as they ought to be done face to face, or as in the case of this story nose to snout.

So while we hold our reservations about the legitimacy and effectiveness of the claims these fields make, we also feel that there is a lot to be said for the kind of quiet quality time these scenarios create. So the question is would you be willing to sit in stillness with your pup to deepen your bond?

Be as skeptical as you like about the energy and light, but there is little arguing the fact that spending quiet quality time with your pup is one of the most wonderful things you can do. We often spend such time scrolling on our phones and easily miss these precious moments of stillness and simplicity. So even if the hokum of it all is a little too much for one’s pawsonal taste there is a lot of validity within the act itself. And we can quite easily see how spending quiet and calm time with your pupper can instill a sense of calm within them as well.

So it seems that this is not an experience that is exclusive to this pupper, nor is it exclusive to canine-kind at all apparently. We will point back to our previous point about how spending this simple and peaceful quality time with your pet, or in fact any person in your life is truly enriching. No less that it takes us away from the stress and madness of our phones. So at the very least there is that to be said for meditating and engaging in magic with your pets. But we have to say that these arguments keep on getting more and more convincing.
