The secret to healthier, happier dogs:
Insight Timer
A QUIETER WAY TO SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR DOG
Caring for an older dog is about more than managing physical changes.
It is also about the relationship you share, the quiet communication between you, and the emotions that can come with watching a much-loved dog grow older.
On Insight Timer, I offer guided meditations and thoughtful audio talks created especially for people who share their lives with dogs.
What is Insight Timer?
Insight Timer is a meditation and wellbeing platform with guided meditations, talks, music and courses from teachers around the world.
A large part of the platform is free to use, so you do not need a subscription to listen to my tracks or explore much of what is available. An optional paid membership gives access to additional material and features.
You can listen through the website or the Insight Timer app.
Why I share my work there
Most of my work focuses on practical care, physical comfort and helping people understand what their dogs may need.
Insight Timer gives me space to express another part of that work: the quieter, more contemplative side of our relationship with animals.
I believe the bond between a dog and their human is unique. We care for them, but they also steady, comfort and change us.
James Herriot expressed this beautifully:
“Something that has always lain near the core and center of my life: the loving, trusting, mutually dependent relationship between man and animal.”
That bond can become especially tender as a dog grows older. The human may need support too, whether you are feeling worried, facing change or simply wanting to be more present for the time you share.
What you will find on my profile
My profile includes guided meditations and spoken reflections.
Some tracks help you slow down and connect with your dog through quiet attention, touch or shared presence. Others explore mindful walking, subtle signs of discomfort and the emotional experience of caring for an aging dog.
You do not need any experience with meditation. Your dog does not need to lie still or behave in a particular way.
You can simply listen in whatever way works for both of you.
These tracks do not replace veterinary care. They offer a different kind of support: a chance to pause, pay attention and make space for your dog’s experience and your own.
Reviews Insight Timer
What a beautiful & healing meditation. I listened with my dog and we both enjoyed it immensely.
This track is so beautiful. I sat on the sofa & listened with my 7 year old lab Indi and we both visibly relaxed. Thank you for this.
What a lovely start to the day for us both! 🌞🐶🙏
This was a brilliant & informative track. I learnt so much listening to this. I’m going to listen again & take notes. Thanks Leida!
A perfect way to connect with your senior dog and then remember them when when they are gone. Thank you so much.
