Do you have to undress before the election? This video can help

AUSTIN, Texas – If you're feeling election stress, you're not alone, and there's a video you can watch to help you relax – puppies included.

Aloft Hotels is giving Americans a break from the election with a dog-led meditation video to promote relaxation and mindfulness.

During the video, a gray and white Bearded Collie stares into the camera while a male voice guides you through various scenarios to soothing music.

If you're looking for a shorter meditation than the 47-minute video, there's also a one-minute version.

The videos are part of Aloft's “No Watch Pawties” screening at select Aloft hotels on election night, including its downtown Austin location on E 6th St. near Congress Ave.

They partner with local animal shelters to give guests a break from the election noise by offering playtime with the pups, free snacks and cocktails. The video will also be played at the event from 5 to 7 p.m

The event requires no registration or fee and is open to guests and locals.

Coverage of Election Day is prohibited during the party.

“Everyone needs a chance to de-stress right now, and we decided to share some of the comfort dogs this election season brings, both virtually and in person.” said Brian Jaymont, Global Brand Leader for Aloft Hotels. “We hope this calming video and our no-watch puppy parties give people the opportunity to relax and reset, even if it's just for a few hours.”

If you have a pup of your own, Aloft Hotels also offers an ARF (Animals R Fun) program, which provides four-legged guests with Aloft-branded dog beds, pet toys, and indoor water bowls.
