Begin in the area where you spent most of your time with the creature. Take their toys, a picture and other items which carry your pet's special energy. Get comfortable, close your eyes and begin breathing deeply. Try to settle your mind and heart, as hard as that may be for you to do.
Next, in your mind's eye, see your pet approach you in this space, just as it normally would have. What you are seeing is the spiritual energy of your animal. Don't be surprised at the reactions you have to this; it is a very emotional experience and should not be stifled. Open your arms and greet the animal. Give it a long, enduring embrace and speak all the feelings you have in your mind and heart. As you do, visualize these warm emotions as red-purple light flowing from you to your spirit-pet. Continue until you feel relieved and less distressed.
When you are finished, release the spirit-pet and allow it to go it's own way. It may be reluctant to go, as pets hold a special love for their owners too, but encourage the transition. As the animal moves away, you may notice a line of energy connecting the two of you. If so, you must break that cord so you both can be free. I have found this often happens when there is a deep, abiding empathy between pet and owner.
When your spirit-pet is finally out of sight, visualize a white-green light pouring over you to wash away the sorrow. Continue in this manner as long as you wish, returning to normal awareness when you feel your message was received and understood. This visualization won't completely negate the loss you feel, only time can do that, but it will allow you those precious last moments together to share a special connection which time, space, life and death cannot take from you, the connection of love. |
