Feng Shui for Pets
Translated, Feng Shui means wind water. Wind represents the energy we feel. Water represents the energy we can see. Balanced together, these principles are beneficial for all living things. We are constantly communicating energy to our pets, feeling it before we’re aware, such as walking into a room feeling uneasy or into an argument, or comfortable and calm entering a new place. Our pets have highly developed senses, and they pick up messages from energy just as keenly as they do from a scent.
Notice how pets respond to our emotional state and whether it is different when we are agitated versus calm and peaceful. Dogs are attracted to positive energy. They bask in feel good places. If a dog won’t go into a room or an area, there is something out of whack. Cats, on the other hand, transmute negative energy. Notice how a cat may rest on our tummy if we have a tummy ache or sleep on/near a computer.
In doing feng shui for our pets, we must create a balanced environment to support their greatest good, which relates to how we feel coming into our home, when we may be calm and peaceful or distracted and chaotic. An environment supporting us directly benefits our pet.
Create a safe nurturing home for the pet. Give them a favorite spot for nesting and sleeping, and their own eating area. Choose healthy food, clean water and keep bowls clean. Ceramic or stainless steel bowls are favored. Treat the pet with the same consideration as we treat ourself.
An important experience for a pet is going to the veterinarian. Notice how we feel when it’s time to visit the doctor’s office; just the thought of it can cause anxiety. Our feelings are transmitted to our pets, so they associate anxious feelings with the situation.
Feng Shui teaches us to honor and respect all living things. The biggest influence we have on all living things is our demeanor; actions speak volumes. The next time we feed, walk or book an appointment for our pet, notice if we are calm, agitated or nervous. The chances are that is the feeling being transmitted to the pet.
