Cat Exercise

Have you heard that us cats can see in the dark ?
I’m sure you have.

And you do too, you just seldom use this ability.

It might stem from the fact that many are also afraid to be in the dark.

So, I would like to take you on a little journey to show you that you too can see in the dark – even if maybe not as well as us cats do.

Find a room you can make completely dark.

Sit down and make yourself comfortable.

Now turn off all the lights and close your eyes.

You can listen to some music if you prefer, you may discover that you enjoy the music even more than usually.

After a few minutes, open your eyes very gently. At first, just a little bit, and with these half open eyes look around you.

At first it will look dark around you, but then you might notice that you can in fact see some forms or shapes.

Maybe you even see some light – it can be white or blue or other colours too.

Just look around you, really relaxed and notice what you notice.

Don’t strain your eyes and don’t try to focus too much on something or other.

And then close your eyes again and listen to the music. Relax your eyes and if you wish, you can repeat the exercise.

How does it feel to see some shapes ?

You can also get up and wander around and notice what you see.

The next time you may feel more familiar already.

When you are ready, open your eyes and turn on the light, ideally a small light first, until your eyes have adjusted to the light.

Now you have experienced what we cats see at night. As you can see (!) this is something you can do as well.
