Book Description
From Schnauzers to Shepherds, and Dachshunds to Dobermans, dogs are natural meditators. Meditating with you improves your dog’s health and well-being, and makes his tail wag just a little bit wider. It also helps excitable dogs become calmer, aggressive dogs become more loving, and anxious dogs become zen-ishly calm.
Unsure how to start? Let your dog be your guru.
In this "tail," dog-lover and life-long meditator, James Jacobson and his dog, Maui, unleash the simple, non-dogmatic meditation method that they have been teaching and using for over a decade. Their method makes this ancient practice so doggone simple that it works with any size, age, or breed of dog.
The barest bone of it? Get quiet and focus on your spiritual connection with your dog. It’s the intention behind this simple act that transforms it into a meditation practice.
Meditation isn’t just great for dogs. In humans, meditation relieves stress, helps us live in the moment, and sharpens mental focus. "How to Meditate with Your Dog" shows how to do all this, while deepening the bond, and broadening the love, between you and your dog.
