To lose a beloved pet is heartbreaking.
Our best friends,
Silent teachers,
Consistent companions.
They live moment to moment with an innate desire to love and protect.
The relationships we develop in this human realm doesn't need to end here when they
have passed on.
For like humans,
Their spirit lives,
And we can access them at any time with the closing
of our eyes and the desire of our hearts.
In this meditation journey,
I invite you to create a sacred space that lives deep within
your heart center,
A place for you to continue on,
Allowing your beloved to become a helping
spirit guide in your life.
Now let's begin by taking a deep breath into the heart center,
Exhaling and surrendering
your body to the earth,
Bringing all of your attention and awareness to your breath.
And from up above,
High up in the cosmos,
I want you to imagine the sun,
This beautiful
glowing orb of light.
And on your inhale breath,
Begin to pull that light into your body,
Imagining it pouring
down right into the center of your heart.
And as you exhale,
Send that light through the rest of your body.
Imagine a warming sensation.
Imagine your body begins to glow underneath your skin,
That light so happy to be radiating
from your body.
And then bringing your attention and awareness to your heart center,
To the other realm,
To the unseen,
To the space that allows us to connect to all of the energy of the universe.
And on your next exhale,
I want you to crack open that heart center and allow your inner
light to shine through.
Beginning to breathe with every exhale,
You expand your light,
Surrendering,
Bathing in
its color,
Allowing that ethereal light to fill up the space around you.
And in this light,
A beautiful ethereal veil appears.
And before you cross that veil,
I want you to think of your beloved animal.
Where would they want to meet you?
If you could imagine and feel them playing somewhere,
Lying somewhere under the sun,
Where would they be?
What landscape?
And your beloved knows you're here waiting,
As you place your hand on the center of your
chest and you ask them to meet you when you open this veil.
And when you're ready,
You take your hand,
Sliding it across the veil and find yourself
stepping out in a beautiful landscape.
Your animal runs to meet you and just take a few moments here to be.
Just what you see and feel.
Now imagine they lead you to a place in the landscape where you can overlook the vastness
of the sky.
It might be a beautiful deep blue,
The black of night,
A rainbow of color.
And as you both stare off in the distance,
Take a moment to tell your beloved everything
you'd wish to say on top of your heart.
All of the thanks and gratitude,
All of the love.
And then I want you to hear what they want to say back to you.
When they remind you they are not attached to the ego,
They transcend space and time.
They live on and can always be accessed in this place.
To snuggle,
To play,
To stare out over the sky,
To come and ask for wisdom and guidance.
They will always be here and you thank this now helping spirit animal knowing you can
nurture a new relationship in this realm.
And they will leave you signs and tokens.
You might feel them at your feet,
Knowing at any time you can return to this place.
Holding your beloved in your arms,
You take a deep breath in,
Exhaling,
Opening your eyes
when you're ready.
