Dogs: spiritual teachings of strength and reason to exist

Several studies show the advantages of having a puppy. I recently found one, current, showing that faithful four-legged friends are more than companions: they can help us live longer.

Analysis of several databases found that, overall, owning a dog lowers the risk of premature death by at least 24%. In addition, they are also great for those suffering from cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes, reducing people’s risk of such problems by about a third.

Conducted with 300,000 participants, aged between 40 and 85 years, who had suffered a heart attack or ischemic attack, important research showed that, in the population of survivors, those who lived with a dog had a 33% lower risk of death compared to those who lived with a dog. they lived alone. For owners of dogs who had a stroke, the risk of dying was 27% lower.

Another survey analyzed data from about 3.8 million people over the age of 18. The result: among dog owners, the risk of early death is 24% lower than the rest of the population, and the chances of having a heart attack decrease by 65%.

If good health is the result of a set of factors – such as good nutrition, physical activity, search for balance, fighting stress and spiritual maturity – it seems that we can easily add to the list the good represented by a dog, linked to health. company issue.

Entering a terrain of greater subtlety, I believe more. The dog is not only a companion and stimulus to carry out the dynamics of everyday life, but also a center of intersection of energies of a spiritualized matrix.

Dogs are great examples of balance and spiritual courage. They are spiritual benefactors who make it clear to us that everyone needs to consider the various animals that surround us as evolving existences on the planet. Earthjust like us.

Mirror of our spiritual challenges, the dogs should be welcomed as our lesser brothers, developing in themselves, as we do (only in a lesser degree) their own Smart Principle – greater force and reason of the Existence.
