The theme of this meditation is animals. Animals help to ground us in presence and play. Caring for another living soul can soothe the nervous system by lowering stress and increasing oxytocin. This is an invitation to bring the healing energy of animals into your life. Whether through equine therapy, volunteering at a local shelter, or spending more time with wildlife or with a beloved pet, cherish these connections. Let their companionship soften your heart and lead you back to the simple joys of life.
