10 Tips for a Successful Pet-Centered Meditation/Petitation Practice
Petitation is a type of meditation that you do
with your pets. We call it the peanut butter cup of health,
meditating is great for you and so is having pets. Therefore, it
follows that Petitating is an excellent practice to enhance your health and
well-being.
Petitating deepens your connection with your pet and can help
with relaxation and relieving anxiety for both of you. Petitating
also helps with mood regulation and sleep. To learn more about

Here are 10 tips to keep in mind when you
Petitate
- Pick a time when your
pet is already somewhat relaxed—this will help a successful Petitation practice
and will happen more and more as you develop your practice
- Find a comfortable
position for you and your pet—as long as you don’t fall asleep, I recommend
being comfortable so it is something that is pleasurable and you are more
likely to do it
- Try and incorporate
Petitation as a daily habit, at least once a day. Although I can’t
always do it, I find starting my day with a short Petitation and ending with a
longer Petitations works well for me
- Start small, only a
few minutes at a time—meditating is just like working out in a gym, you have to
develop your meditation muscles with practice
- Don’t force it….if
you or your pet aren’t in the right space, try again later—forcing it will only
make you and your pet miserable
- Make sure that you
prioritize Petitating—you and your pet are worth it
- Don’t let it get you
frustrated or stressed if you or your pet are having a hard
time. Petitations, although they are easier than other types of
meditations, can be difficult. But, they are well worth it for improvement in
physical and emotional health and a deeper connection with your pet
- Try to incorporate
different types of meditations or Petitations—this can include Basic Petting
Petitations and Gratitude Petitations as well as the other ones we offer—I find
that including different types keeps me and my pups interested
- Do what works—If you
like silent meditation or meditation to Steve’s music then do that, if you like
guided meditations, there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s all about focusing
your mind
- Have
fun—meditating/Petitating doesn’t have to feel like a chore. It’s
one of the most enjoyable part of the day for me and my pups
