Cats, Energy and Meditation

Question: Do cats aid us in meditation?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), cats are known to have a unique sensitivity to energy and can play a role in dispelling negative energies during meditation. In Sufi teachings, it is understood that animals, including cats, have a natural ability to perceive and interact with subtle energies that are not readily apparent to humans.

When we engage in meditation or spiritual practices, our energy field becomes more pronounced, and this can attract both positive and negative energies. Cats, being sensitive to energy, can act as protectors by detecting and dispelling negative energies in the environment. Their presence can help to create a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere conducive to meditation.

In the presence of a cat, especially during meditation, their calming and soothing energy can have a positive impact on our own energy field. Their purring, for example, is believed to have a healing and calming effect, which can help in dispelling negative energies and promoting a sense of tranquility and focus during meditation.

It’s important to note that the role of cats in dispelling negative energies is not limited to meditation alone. Their presence in the home can contribute to maintaining a positive and balanced energy environment, which is beneficial for spiritual practices and overall well-being.

Ultimately, the presence of cats during meditation serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all creation and the potential for animals to contribute to our spiritual journey. It’s a beautiful example of how the natural world can support and enhance our spiritual practices.

May your meditation be blessed with tranquility and may the presence of animals, like cats, continue to bring positive energy and peace to your spiritual journey. Remember to always approach animals with kindness and respect, recognizing the divine wisdom in their presence.

And Allah knows best.
