Take several long,
Slow,
Deep breaths deep into your belly and adjust your posture to be comfortable.
As you breathe out,
Breathe out your cares and your tensions.
Let your back and your neck relax and settle more deeply into your chair.
As you breathe in,
Hold that life-giving oxygen in your belly and let it suffuse throughout your body to your cells,
Throughout your bloodstream,
To fill your body with likeness and vitality.
And come with me today on a journey to the spirit of cats.
So imagine if you will,
You're rising up out of your chair and out of the room you're in and it's a dark moonlit night.
Fly out over the landscape and drop in to a wooded area,
Perhaps a little stream.
And then imagine yourself transforming into a cat.
What would it feel like?
Cats are incredibly vigilant.
They can be incredibly silent.
They're nocturnal and they have incredible eyesight at night.
So imagine yourself wandering through the foliage as a cat,
Listening for every little sound,
Stalking,
Deeply aware.
Cats have been revered for millennia for their unusual qualities.
One of which is the ability to meditate seemingly perfectly at peace.
Cats are associated with the exploration of the unknown.
So as you look out across this moonlit landscape,
Look off into the starry distance,
Feel yourself connecting with your spirit of adventure,
With your courage,
With your desire to explore.
Feel yourself extending out into the landscape with your senses,
With your whiskers,
With your incredible hearing and your ability to see into the darkness,
To find the beacon of your interest in the beyond.
Then of course,
Cats are comforting.
We love to pet them because they're so soft.
We love to hear their purr because that sound somehow calms us,
Warms us up and lets us know that cat loves us and is bonded to us.
Cats are famously independent.
They're sovereign.
They're symbols of mystical insight and spiritual sovereignty that can guide us into the higher levels of our own consciousness and our own awareness.
Feel yourself sitting upright,
Wiggling your tail and feeling that you own the night,
That the world that is dark and obscure to others is completely unfolding unto your imagination.
When you're ready,
Hop back into your chair and purr a little with gratitude to have cats in the world and have a wonderful day.
