So, the other day I was thinking it would be fun to try and do a “free animal reading.” I’ve seen people do tarot readings and stuff, but I wanted to see if I could connect with animals on a deeper level, you know? So I decided to give it a shot.
Getting Started
First, I needed to find a willing participant. I figured my own cat, Whiskers, would be a good sport. He’s usually pretty chill and up for anything, as long as there are treats involved. Bribery? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.
Setting the Mood
Next, I wanted to create a relaxing environment. I dimmed the lights, put on some soft, nature-sounds music (mostly birds chirping, because, you know, cat), and lit a candle that smelled vaguely of… well, I’m not sure, but it was pleasant. I sat on the floor, and Whiskers, after sniffing the candle suspiciously, curled up near my feet.
The “Reading”
I didn’t really have a plan. I just closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried to clear my mind. I pictured Whiskers in my head, his fluffy tail, his green eyes… I tried to “feel” his energy, if that makes any sense.
It sounds a bit silly if described scientifically I guess.
- I focused on Whiskers’s purrs.
- I tried to “listen” for any thoughts or feelings.
- Mostly, I just pet him and enjoyed the moment.
The Results (or Lack Thereof)
Okay, so, did I magically start understanding cat telepathy? Nope. Did Whiskers suddenly start speaking English? Also no. But, something did happen. I felt… calmer. More connected to Whiskers. More in tune with his simple, feline needs: food, naps, head scratches. I spent a good half hour just being present with him, and it was really nice.
My Takeaway
So, my “free animal reading” didn’t unlock any secret animal languages. But it did remind me of the importance of just being present with our furry friends. Taking the time to really connect, even without words, can be a pretty amazing experience. I might not be a pet psychic, but I definitely feel like a better pet owner after this little experiment. I gave extra snacks to Whiskers after this, I have to be honest.
