* Our Pets Are Sponges *
Our pets absorb all of our low emotions. It’s their job.
* Sadness
* Anger
* Negativity
* Often times even our illness
They want to protect us so they will absorb all of this from us. If we don’t help them clear these emotions, they will become ill, depressed, or act out with nuisance behaviors.
A couple days ago I talked about leaving your emotions at the door before you walk in the house. This protects your pet and minimizes the low vibrations we bring into the house. But our pets will still absorb negative emotions from us, from visitors leaving energy in the house, from life with us (their guardian!) etc.. It is inevitable. So here is what you can do to help them release it. Especially when times are very stressful.
* Allow them time outside to be grounded (if they are not solely inside pets). Going out and touching their paws to Mother Earth helps release energy.
* Inside pets – this is why they lay in the sun! The sun provides a natural energy cleansing. If you see your pet lying in the sunlight indoors, they are cleansing.
* Give your pet permission to release – Thank your pet for unselfishly absorbing your heavy energy and emotions. Tell your pet they do not need to hold that for you. Then (with your hand or a pet brush) brush their entire body with a flicking motion as you visualize the heavy energy being brushed off their body. Do this once a week or more if under stressful situations or immediately following a confrontation or low energy situation. This is why so many animals love to be brushed. They know it clears their energy. (Unless their matted, then it hurts!)
* Meditate with your pet. We meditate to balance ourselves. Our pets need the same. Go to where your animal is relaxed, sit with your animal, where your animal is comfortable. Set an intention to include your animal. Take a couple deep breaths. Feel you are breathing in the energy of your pet. Then breathe out the energy that you want them to release. They will feel this and start to relax and release even more during the meditation. In closing, ask your guides to protect your pet.
Keeping your pets energy balanced will help them live longer, happier lives.
