The Rainbow Bridge

This heart-warming meditation will guide you to a special place where you will be able to connect with a pet who is no longer on the earth plane. Just like people, our connections with our pets do not end when the physical body dies. And our beloved pets want to stay consciously connected with us, even after they cross over the rainbow bridge.

Just the sight of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal crosses over who has been especially close to someone here,

That pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food,

Water,

And sunshine,

And our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor.

Those who are hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,

Just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content,

Except for one small thing.

They each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together,

But the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.

His bright eyes are in tent,

His eager body quivers,

And suddenly he begins to run from the group,

Flying over the green grass,

His legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted,

And when you and your special friend finally meet,

You cling together in joyous reunion,

Never to be parted again.

The happy kisses rain upon your face,

Your hands again caresses the beloved head,

And you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet,

So long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Today I'm going to guide you to and over the Rainbow Bridge to be reunited with your beloved pet.

I want you to visualize standing in an open field of green grass filled with flowers of all colors and a sky of blue hues and white clouds.

And in the distance,

You see a majestic red rock mountain that reaches high up into the sky.

Go ahead,

Look around.

Take a moment to notice what the field and mountain looks like.

Breathe in the fresh,

Crisp air.

Notice the subtle energy in the field and all around you.

You're feeling anticipation in your heart and excitement because you know that you'll be seeing someone special very,

Very soon.

And your pet feels the same way because he or she knows that you are on your way.

Begin walking through the field towards the majestic red mountain.

Walk slowly,

Allowing the energy of the earth to be absorbed through the soles of your feet.

Notice how peaceful it is in the field.

Listen to the songs of the birds in the distance.

And notice a rainbow colored butterfly is just ahead of you,

Flying in a joyful pattern.

This butterfly has been waiting for you.

It's your guide and it will be leading you to your destination today.

Continue walking through the field and follow the beautiful butterfly to the foot of the red rock mountain.

At the foot of the mountain,

You find a red dirt trail.

A trail that wraps up and around the backside of the mountain.

Begin walking along the trail.

Notice that your butterfly,

Decorated in the colors of the rainbow,

Is still with you,

Guiding you just a few steps ahead.

And as you're walking,

Notice the paw prints pressed into the red dirt.

This is a trail that has been walked by so many of our beloved pets.

With each step,

Take in the energy of the sacred red rock.

Now follow the trail as it begins to wind around the mountainside.

As you make your way to the backside of the mountain,

You find a beautiful rainbow in front of you.

It's a rainbow bridge that stretches out from the side of the mountain over a clear fresh spring and ends in a gorgeous meadow.

In the distance,

You hear the barks,

Meows,

And sounds of animals playing together.

It's such a beautiful sound.

It's one that fills your heart with joy and gratitude.

Make your way to the rainbow bridge and begin to walk across it.

As you reach the midway point,

You notice the many animals running,

Playing,

And basking in a beautiful white healing light.

Keep walking across the bridge,

Taking in all of the rainbow's beauty.

Notice how rich and vibrant each of the colors are.

Look down at your feet and notice what color of the rainbow your feet are standing on.

What are the colors next to the color that you're standing on?

You've now reached the end of the bridge and a few steps ahead of you.

Notice the ornate golden gate that has opened just for you.

Go ahead and walk through the gate into the beautiful field.

Look around and take a moment to notice what the field looks like.

Observe the light green grass,

The bright blue sky,

The angelic white clouds,

The majestic trees,

The plants,

The flowers.

And also notice that all of the animals in the field,

They've now stopped playing.

They're standing and sitting and smiling at you because they know that something very special is about to happen.

Look a little further into the field and notice a sweet beautiful soul surrounded in white light,

Breaking free from the pack and running towards you.

It's your beloved pet.

And as your pet runs towards you,

You run toward it and meet in a loving embrace.

Notice how excited your dearest friend is to see you giving you kisses,

Rubbing against you,

Smiling from ear to ear as you scratch his belly.

Notice how healthy your sweet loved one is and how happy he or she is.

Allow the light emitting from your loved one to surround and comfort you.

If you're not doing so already,

Have a seat on the soft green grass.

It's just you and your pet.

All of the other animals have left you two alone.

And I want you to spend some time with your loved one.

Give each other kisses,

Hugs,

And as much love as you can.

And once you've had time to celebrate this beautiful reunion,

I want you to say what's on your heart.

Say everything you've wanted to say.

Say everything you've said with your eyes closed when you think of your loved one.

Now you have the chance to say it directly to him or her.

Do this telepathically through thought.

And then take a few moments to be still and rest with your sweet pet.

Lay on the grass and rest in love with your dearest friend.

It's been too long since you've last seen each other and this is your time.

I'm gonna leave you here for a while.

If your mind starts to wander,

That's okay.

If you have thoughts that come into your mind,

Just observe and let them go and return to this place with your beloved pet.

I'll be back to guide you back to consciousness in a few minutes.

I'll be back to guide you back to consciousness.

I'll be back to guide you back to consciousness.

I'll be back to guide you back to consciousness.

I'll be back to guide you back to consciousness.

I'll be back to guide you back to consciousness.

I'll be back to guide you back to consciousness.

How whole do you feel right now?

Notice that some of the sadness,

Some of the loss,

And some of the grief has been lifted from you.

You know that this rainbow bridge isn't a place outside of you,

But rather it's inside.

And that means your beloved pet is never far away from you.

He or she is always in your heart.

And even though they are no longer with us in physical form,

We're still connected by a spiritual cord that can never be broken.

And every time you think about them or feel their presence around you,

Know that they are with you.

Also know that anytime you want to see them,

You can cross the rainbow bridge,

Enter through the golden gates,

And see your beloved pet as they will be waiting for you.

It's time now.

It's time to leave the field and your pet.

But again,

Know that you're not really leaving.

He or she is always with you.

And you can come back here anytime.

But right now,

You need to leave this special place and go back.

Take a few moments to say goodbye for now to your sweet beloved pet.

And look for signs over the coming days that validate this experience.

Now head back out of the gate and onto the rainbow bridge and notice that your butterfly guide is back to help you cross.

Back to the red rock mountain,

Following the red dirt path to the front side of the red rock.

Almost there.

Almost there.

And now you're back in the beautiful meadow.

I want you to consciously think about being back in your physical body right now.

I'm going to count to three and when I get to three,

You'll open your eyes.

One.

Staying in that calm place.

You're going to feel that feeling of being with your beloved pet.

Two.

I want you to feel the weight of your body right now and take a nice relaxing breath and connect back with your lungs.

Become aware of your feet and your legs,

Your arms,

Your chest,

Your hips and your thighs and your back.

Your neck and your throat.

Becoming aware of your head.

And right now,

You're completely back in your conscious mind and your physical body.

Three.

You're back in your body,

Remembering the rainbow bridge and your beloved friend and that you can go there anytime you want.

Open your eyes when you feel ready.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

I needed this, thank you so much.

Thank you - this calmed me down and allowed me to feel close to my gorgeous girl.
The heartbreak is unbearable. I miss the physical- but this helped me to connect to her.
I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have received this 🌈🐾🌈

We just lost our beloved dog yesterday and this wonderful meditation brought me a lot of comfort. Many thanks.

I didn't know there was a Rainbow Bridge meditation on insight timer. This was really great. I plan to go back from time to time.
