Want to strengthen the connection you have with your cat or dog (or other companion animal)? If your critter is cuddly, sit or lie down with her or him. If your critter is not cuddly, do this at whatever distance is comfortable for her or him and you will place your hand in the air, palm facing her or him instead of actually touching. Close your eyes, breathe a few deep breaths and settle into your body. Place one hand on your sternum or heart and breathe into your heart space, this place of love. Place your other hand on your critter pal’s heart or chest area and breathe into this love that connects you. I sense the heart to heart connection as a beam of light. Explore what you sense of this connection: what it feels like, what it sounds like, what shape it might have. Then sink into this frequency of love that permeates you both. Spending even a few minutes aware of this connection can result in amazing moments. What’s your experience?
