Meditation and Cats

For years, I have sat on the same purple cushion in the same little bedroom in front of the same little altar space to meditate.

I am still not allowed to do it without help.

And no, I can’t just close the door. If I close the door, they sit and paw at the door and meow loudly in protest (there are two of them).

*Since I know someone will ask, the mala was handmade for me by Beth Wodandis, and I can’t recommend her services highly enough. This one is onyx, bone, coral, and amber, and I am absolutely delighted with it every time I pick it up to pray or do magic. I’ve had to keep myself from buying all of the prayer beads that she makes (I’ve had a problem with collecting prayer beads for a long time). Her etsy shop is here.

    I thought I recognized those beads–thank you for the shout-out! And in our house you can’t meditate or do yoga without help from either the cats or the dog, lol.

      It’s an ongoing battle here. I just have the two cats, but they are so nosy and clingy! But I love them. It just makes meditation time one step more challenging, especially when I’m trying to rebuild my practice. *laughs*

    I know your struggle. One of my cats likes to come up, purring and lovey when I try to meditate. The other just likes to lay on my altar… It is often covered in fur… lol. I think they just love the energy and want to join in, they can’t help it.
