Living with pets
When you are around your pet, take a few minutes to breathe deeply. Try to notice what your pet feels in the moment. If you notice that they don't feel comfortable, follow their lead. If you are feeling overwhelmed, try consciously breathing. Then, if your pet feels uneasy, take a few deep breaths. This will help you reset your mind and make you feel better. By practicing mindfulness with your pet, you'll increase your bond even further.
You can also practice mindfulness while playing with your pet. During this time, you and your pet will bond by interacting with each other and noticing their emotions. Your pet will appreciate this time as much as you do. The moment you share with your pet can be an opportunity to increase your own awareness of yourself. You'll feel more relaxed and less stressed. The benefits of mindfulness will last a lifetime. It's not just a fun activity, but it's beneficial for you, as well.
A study in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that mindfulness practices and interaction with pets can increase feelings of connection. It's important to remember that there are no direct physical signs of happiness or relaxation when you interact with a pet. However, you'll experience a sense of presence while interacting with your dog. It's possible that your pet's presence will be an inspiration to practice mindfulness. If you and your pet get along well, your life will be more enjoyable and happier.
The best way to meditate with your pet is to find a quiet place in your home and sit down. You can also use your dog's senses to help you focus on the process. For example, if your dog loves to chew on bones, try to find a place where you can play with it. If you're not sure how to interact with your pet, try focusing on his or her sense of touch.
During the walk with your dog, you can engage your senses. You can take your time to enjoy every sensation. Pay attention to your dog's body language. A walker should engage all of his or her senses when they're walking a dog. In this way, a dog owner can make the experience more enjoyable for the animal. In the end, your dog will be happier and more content.
