Budda on Relaxation
Okay once again anyone googling for enlightenment, this ain’t it.
Oh . . . and Buddha the spiritual leader, has an ‘h” in it. Budda the lazy gallery cat . . . no “h.”
This happens to be Budda’s favorite way of looking at the world. He prefers to see things upside down. Whenever we pick him up for a cuddle, (in this instance it is Mike my husband doing the holding) this is the position he takes within minutes.
If you wander around the gallery while carrying him like this he reaches out and tries to touch stuff on the way by. We call it the “touch touch” game. (Said with the rolling of eyes) Yeah, I know, how incredibly creative are we.
Relaxation according to Budda
Since we are deep into the holiday season, and most of us are pushed beyond our usual endurance, trying to get everything done and make everyone happy, Budda thought it might be good to give you a few de-stressing tips.
So the first thing you need to do is find someone to help support you. You know, someone who you can rely on not to let you down.
Then you just have to take a deep breath, let go and relax. Thaaaats it. Feel the chi flowing throughout your body. Stretch just a little farther, hold and relax. Can you feel your chakra’s opening?
It is good to note that stretching is excellent for the circulation and the back muscles. To avoid injury, stretching should be done as often as possible before any kind of activity is undertaken . . . including naps.
We’ll end with one of Budda’s favorite quotes (oh yes, he is quite the literary scholar)
“The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.”
-Marcus Aureluis

I love your posts, you’re so funny!
Budda must really trust you both to stretch out like that in your hands.
He is so completely different from my previous cat Oliver, who would never have allowed himself to be held this undignified way. Budda really does prefer it. Little weirdo. Actually he would be in fat cat heaven if we just carried him around all day. I’ve told Mike we need to get one of those baby backpack thingys (where the arms and legs dangle) and just tote hime everywhere. Have to cut a hole for the tail I suppose.
Just in case you were wondering I am soooo kidding.
Lovely entertaining post! Love the pictures and guotations you have added. I think male cats can often be like this, or at least much more laid back than females, but I have rarely had one indoors. Angela
