Our Healing Circle Of Cats

I belong to a healing meditation group for women. We gather in a circle and discuss the past week’s goings on, and also direct healing energy to anyone who needs it. Many of the members in the group are lightworkers. Some of them may not have been aware of the true extent of their spiritual abilities, when they first joined the group, but as they continued attending they learned many things to open up, expand, and develop their spiritual gifts and talents.

Our most recent gathering was especially interesting to me. As usual, we were passing the ‘talking stick’ around. This custom comes from an ancient Native-American tradition of tribal democracy. The talking stick is passed around in the group, enabling the group members to speak in turn.

The first lady to share was a very wise women, and of the kindest people I have ever met. She talked about rude one of her family members were to her recently, for no reason at all. She also shared how she “about had it” with her brother. He is constantly criticizing her, and looking down his nose at her. Apparently, he feels she doesn’t live a ‘normal life’ and he does not appreciate, among other things, her work as a Reiki practitioner and an energy healer.

A few other women then also shared stories of their unfortunate dealings with family and friends, who were very judgmental and condescending about their spiritual interests and practices.

When it came to be my turn to share, I was very open about how I had decided I was not going to attend an upcoming family wedding, because the father of the relative getting married is a very bigoted and unpleasant man,. He is racist, has no respect for anyone, and is very controlling. Simply put – he is a hater.

The only reason why I even considered going to this wedding in the first place, was because I had agreed to drive another relative to the event. I was therefore so very relieved to learn that she had meanwhile found another, more convenient ride with someone else.

So, super happy just thinking about it, and with great relief, I blurted out to my healing circle how I would rather spend time with my cats than with most of the people I’m related to!

It was silent for a moment, but then many of the ladies chimed in and agreed! They too would rather spend time with their cats than their relatives, because their cats are kinder, better at listening, and always friendly and loving. They have the attributes that many of the humans in their lives sorely lack.

As the discussion progressed we started joking that we are all were very much like cats, and explored in conversation the many ways we are similar to our cats. For example, we all love to curl up and just relax, and we love the silence instead of chaos. We also agreed that sleep is very healing. We also enjoy sensing with our hearts, and we are also telepathic, just like our cats.

Similar to our cats we are also psychic observers and prefer to be alone. In fact, we agreed that solitude is one of life treasures. We are also curious like cats, and very protective of our homes, and so on. Being with our cats is much more gratifying then spending time with people, and it has many benefits, especially for our mental health. Cats never cause us major stress. They are always soothing to spend time with.

Yes, indeed, I am the proud member of a healing circle of ‘cats’ in human form.
