Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hi Shaun. I don't know what is the " correct " answer, but my answer is welcome them. Permit them to stay and experience how much faster their vibration is than your very own and that peace and calm which they bring to you. Experience just how easily that can happen with their approach and/or the touch of their paw. IMHO they already know what you're discovering. Surprisingly, mine all stay out of my way when I'm doing the first Tibetian, and I've learned to pick up all the balls and chew toys before spinning in circles. But, from there on out it can easily become a dog pile. If my movements are too slow in the 5th Tibetian, I'll be playing " London Bridges " with one of them, hence I've learned through this what is a better pace. When meditating mine dogs tend to come and plop on my lefthand side. I have one though, Buddha Belly, who always ends up giving me a big ol' wet kiss right when I'm getting into the " zone " of my meditation. " Ugh! What does it take for a gal to be able to meditate around here! " Sometimes I have to make that " alone time " because they are too playful or distracting...but too it's helpful for me to look into that distraction and meditate through it...like a fly landing on my arm, or the buzz of the mosquitos. I'm curious to know what is recommended, as I've thought about this myself. Belly rubs. Danielle , " shaun1154 " <shaunjd wrote: > > > Is that a bad thing to do? Does it take away from my practice? I know I felt a little distracted, like a mom with young kids, but maybe that is my life? If it is not kids now, maybe it is the animals and the others who will always need me for something, even when meditating? What do you think? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 The radiance that you are encouraging through your practice will be far more beneficial to them and to you if you allow yourself the " alone time " to explore the whole person that you are. Please do the mudras with " your fingers in your lap or on your knees. " These are merely my thoughts and you may take them as you wish or not as you wish. The fellow mortals (dogs cats birds tec.) will not have the Kriyas. They will not have to deal with any of the emtional or physical or mental or spiritual consequences of you coming into balance with the stronger force of Kundalini while being in society working and interacting. They " will " know they are loved no matter if they are in your lap during meditation or not. I will suggest that they be given other opportunities to share communion with you outside of your " alone time. " This is something you need to become a bit more disciplined with perhaps? Being good with being with " yourself alone " is a very important practice. Sharing and being with family (pets or otherwise) isnt always conducive to discerning the inner paths. Love is a great force and it will radiate to those who receive it even while you are alone, in the closet if need be, meditating and coming into balance with sacred inner awareness. - my thoughts. - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Chrism Thank you for this. I look to you for guidance. I think I need to learn to set limits for others and me...... I appreciate your honesty and wisdom.
