How Cats Meditate

He immediately
shifted his body in my lap and placed all four of his paws/feet on my lower
belly or hara/tanden. That part of his message was crystal clear to me, keep your feet on the ground and be fully
connected to the earth energy. He actually shared that it is much more
powerful to have all 4 feet on the
ground! At that moment the bottoms of my feet became very warm as well as
both of my hands.
The answer to
my question about how kitties are able to stay alert while in what appears to
be very deep meditation was easily experienced but more difficult to put into
words. The best I can say is the feeling seemed to be somewhere just before one
falls asleep. It was a very relaxed feeling while at the same time allowing one
to be fully aware and present. He physically showed me his ears. They were up,
allowing him to be completely aware of what was taking place around him in all
directions.
The lesson
from Rudy as to how felines are able to be fully present while in a meditative
state is to have all feet on the ground and to keep your ears open.
