Cats symbolize curiosity, companionship, independence, mischief, and elegance. But they also represent mystery and magic, good fortune, intuition, spiritual enlightenment and growth, and are a sign of good luck.
Cats are some of the greatest Buddhist teachers around. They eat when they’re hungry and sleep when they’re tired: a radical way of life that many of us humans have yet to grasp. They can hold a single point of focus for an extended period of time, seemingly in some sort of trance. A cat’s purr, like chanting, has a deeply calming effect, which might explain why cats purr when they’re stressed, as well as when they’re happy.
Cats live in utterly in the moment, always aware of what’s going on around them – even while napping. More importantly, they have zero ego. They may know where they want to go, but they’re rarely in a rush to get there. I admire the way my cats are willing to suspend their disbelief when confronted with a laser pointer. They see it in my hand, they know where it comes from – but hell, they will chase after it anyway.
In light of all this, it comes as no surprise that meditating with cats offers some pretty unique benefits. Practising mindfulness meditation in the presence of cats is instantly calming, whether they sit beside you and purr or simply perch nearby. They sense the shift in energy and will often react by staying close.
If you meditate while a cat is sitting on you, you’ll sometimes find that your breathing becomes unconsciously synchronised, also known as a meditative coherence state.
