Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furriends
We hope mew've had a fabulously chilled weekend, ours has been fab, the new lawn is done and the suns been shining all its warmz on us. So let's get mew feeling all nicely relaxed fur the next few days, but if mew're a little tense or stressed we can assist mew in getting your Zen Harmonies happening and that fuzzy feeling of zen-ness back.
Let's begin with our little breathing exercise, we're sure mew know what to do but if mew've furgotten: purrlease take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out
Now, we don't know about mew but we love a bit of earthing, what is earthing we hear mew ask? We know some of mew will have already heard of it, but fur those that don't know; earthing is going barefoot on grass and this helps our bodies in all kinds of ways. Our pawesome planet is full of natural energy as are all living things, so when we walk barefoot on grass or sand etc... [not man made things like roads or pavements] our bodies connect with the subtle energies within the earth and help restore vitality and ground our energies.
It also helps to remove excess positive electrons that build up in the body, which in the modern wurld is completely unavoidable due to a constant barrage of EMF's, wearing rubber soled shoes, never walking barefoot and being out of touch with the natural wurld.
The P.A. even has an earthing mat fur during the winter months when she can't go barefoot outdoors, so if mew live in an apartment, or where it's difficult to get your cute tootsies on some lawn, get yourselves an earthing mat and enjoy the same benefits from your favourite snooze spot. Me and The B team can often be found sitting on the earthing mat when it's out.
The P.A. has also noticed that Fudge has a lot of static as when she picks him up as they often share a little jolt of electricity, so she's putting him and his ginormous floof tail on it too when there's no outside time.
Mew can see Smoochie below really getting his earthing happening, he loves it! MOL
So this week get yourselves grounded and those zen harmonies happening.

My human is such an indoors person that would probably use an earthing mat all year round! And we live in a part of the world that has gorgeous weather 90% of the time!
ReplyDeleteHey Summer, oh wow, how lucky are mew living in such a warm climate year round, but if your peep doesn't go outside too often the earthing mat is a great idea1 XOX
DeleteMy momma is always barefoot. In fact, she says she had to get her momma to bring her shoes to high school because she'd accidentally leave them at home (she likes to drive barefoot too!)
ReplyDeleteHiya Lone Star Cats, oh the P.A. agrees with your momma, barefoot is the bestest! MOL XOX
DeleteI'll bet the grass feels good on the toesies. That coloring sure is pretty. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop my friend!
ReplyDeleteHey Brian, it feels so great and thanks fur hosting the Thursday hop, we love it! XOX

ReplyDeleteHey Tabbies, thanks so much dudes, I'm feeling so much better and Smooch will defo roll in that soil again just fur mew guys! MOL Oh there's nothing wurse than being zapped by static, it doesn't really happen to me, but Fudge and his tail get it all the time! XOX
DeleteWe're going to have to find one of those earthing mats because we've had nothing but cold rain here since November and our Mom can't get outside to see if our grass has drowned! Beautiful Mandala!
ReplyDeleteHiya Colehaus Cats, oh mew should defo get one of the mats then! XOX
DeleteI like a good earthing too, but my mum complains that my whites have gone beige. She is always barefoot at home, but still builds up a lot of static when she goes out. Every time she used to take things off shelves in Sainsbury's she would get a shock and make a big cracking noise. They must have done something different in the last few years because it doesn't happen very often now.
ReplyDeleteHey Flynn, mew can't beat it can mew buddy, and if your whites go beige, it'll all come out at bath-time so no stress! Oh wow, your mum is the same as the P.A. then for getting shocks, Marks & Spencers used to be the wurst when they had carpet in their stores, that was like a gazillion years ago when the P.A. was a munchkin. XOX
DeleteWe need one of those earthing mats all year round since we rarely get outside.
ReplyDeleteHi Island Cats, mew guys so need one of those mats, get on amazon and order right now! MOL XOX
DeleteI have never heard of an earthing mat, that is a new one. Very nice mandala and I like how the PA colored it.
ReplyDeleteHi all at 15 & Meowing, not that new, we've had one of the mats fur about 5 or 6 years now, mew should try one :) XOX
DeleteAn earthing mat? That is great! I love your mandala ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, after seeing all your gorgeous outdoor post mew don't need one!!! MOL XOX
DeleteAaaaaaaaaaw Smoochie be lookin' so cute. You all look just gawjus. We've never heard of earthin' befur, but mommy said...Yucky. We have weeds and doggy doo all over our lawn, and there ain't no way any of us girly's gonna puttin' our dainty, h bit paws down on dat stuffs. MOL And as to your comment on our bloggy, we would luv to join ya'll fur an adventure, anytime. Mommy even said we could. Big hugs and purrayers fur all.

Dezi and Raena
Hiya Dezi & Raena, oh wow we're defo going have mew ladies doing some driving fur us in our next adventure now - that's brilliant news!!! MOL XOX
DeleteWOW! I had never heard of an earthing mat - great idea
ReplyDeleteHey guys, oh mew should defo get your peep to check it out! XOX
DeleteOh, I definitely love gettin' a bit of earthling, too. Once it warms up though. We had more snow last night. MOUSES!
ReplyDeleteHey Seville, yep it's no good trying to earth in snow!! MOL MOL XOX
DeleteBut about this 'indoor' earthling. Do the peep's flower pots count? Inquirin' minds wanna know. purrs
ReplyDeleteNo because they aren't actually connected to the earth, if the pots were in the garden on grass or soil, then maybe... XOX
DeleteHuh. I thought Bear was the only cat that enjoyed rolling in mud! Smoochie is awfully cute when he does it though! We love the pictures of you surveying your domain, Basil. We hope you're feeling better and back to being your glorious self.
ReplyDeleteHi Bear & Momma Kat, I am feeling so much better thank mew fur asking, I'm having my homeopathy drops 2 x a day and still wearing my magic pendant and so far so good! XOX
DeleteI've never heard of earthing before, but it sounds great. I'm off to try it!
ReplyDeleteHey Chatty Cats, let us know how mew feel aftur! XOX
DeletePetcretary *has* heard of earthing and tries to get some time in out in our yard during the warmer months...but she fur sure hates bare feet,MOL! Always has her sandals on inside.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty Mandala this week!
Hi Pipo and Minko, that's great the Petcretary earths, even though she hates bare feet, but it's ok to sit in a chair and have your feet on the grass fur a few minutes, so it's all good :) XOX
