Meditation and Dogs

Dogs are excellent for meditation because they are not concerned by work or by lifting the House or by the task, they live the moment, are.

The author James Jacobson wrote a book with techniques to meditate with your dog. How to meditate with your dog teaches us some basic steps to begin to meditate with our dogs and thus achieve to do something good for both. According to the author, the dogs are natural meditation gurus and must seize the opportunity that teach us how to do it.

1 choose a comfortable place
Sit or lie down with your dog. Do this a ritual, put music, light some candles or simply choose a comfortable place and without more, lie down with your dog.

2. Breath
The basic of meditation is breathing. The first thing you should do is sit down with your dog is to follow his breath. To make it easier, you can put a hand on his chest and another in the lower back. At the beginning you'll have that breathing fast but as time passes and they do this more steady, you will notice that your breathing becomes more relaxed and are blends with yours. Think your dog is a being that it wants to be part of the herd so it will begin to follow your rhythm of breathing because he wants to be with you. Get used to breathing can take even a week, be patient, Rome wasn't built in a day.

It is impossible to put the mind blank from one moment to another, but let the thoughts is something you can do. If you start to think about something, drop it. Here is where your dog will be great helpful, concentrate to follow your breath, in pet him and see him and with that you can stay focused.

When you finish meditating, closes your ritual with something, from a simple thanks to a mantra. A mantra is a phrase that you like, you don't have to be something in Sanskrit or sung, you can say something like thank you for having the best dog of the world or something that inspires you.

5. Repeat
Consistency is extremely important. Try to make it at least for 10 days and if you like the results, it will be easier to do so. If plane already want to make a habit, say that if you do something 21 days already forms a routine and will be something that you can do every day to improve your health and that of your dog.
