If you are a human that has had the opportunity to share living space (indoors or out) with an animal, you have been blessed to experience the true unconditional love of God! I am not being dramatic. A pet, whether it is canine, feline, avian, reptilian; has two legs, 4 legs, 8 legs, or no legs–our animals are connected to their humans just as much as humans are connected to them.
I get it, not everyone is an ”animal person”. And that is OKAY! But for those of us who have had the pleasure of wet nose kisses, falling asleep the the sound of purring next to your head, or have been nuzzled by a hungry horse looking for a treat, you get it! You get it when I say, losing a pet is one of the hardest things to go through in life.
If you have ever lost a pet, whether you were a child or an adult, I want you to think about that animal right now. Can you remember what the texture of their body felt like? Can you remember how they greeted you when they saw you after a long day at school or work? Can you remember their spirit, even just for a moment…
….If you could, part of you must believe that they live on with you every day. I know I do. I had to put my Dakota down two years ago this Spring. She was only 7 years old and got cancer. It happened fast, we found out why she had stopped eating and was breathing heavily, and within two days, it was over. We couldn’t see her suffer any longer. It hurt. We all cried. We buried her on my friend’s property (thanks Lisa and Rob), and tried to move forward.
Throughout my spiritual journey, I have come to believe and know that our animals stay with us forever. They are connected to us on the SPIRIT level in ways that we can’t fully understand. Some call it a ‘mystical connection’, others say they are here with us in the ‘Quantum field’. All I know is that sometimes, I can feel Dakota is with me. I have even reached down for her leash, like she was by my legs waiting for a walk.
So when a friend of mine had to help her beloved pooch (I’ll call her Kelly) transition recently, I wanted to comfort my friend and let her know that Kelly is still with her. I went into meditation to see if I could connect with Kelly (this was within 2 days of her transition so it was much easier).
Kelly did come through and we were given the gift from God to make this connection. Kelly told me that she had been with my friend in many lifetimes (about 60,000 years) and her sudden transition was her way of moving forward to be able to help my friend from beyond the Veil (the movie Coco pops into mind). Kelly’s spirit was needed on the other-side to help her human transition through some changes that were coming. Kelly also allowed me to see what her next incarnation was to be. Kelly was going to be a wild canine, somewhere in central North America, within the next 60-64 days. Kelly is choosing to be wild to help aide the planet with her Energy in that part of the world. But Kelly will remain with her human connection at about 80% (in addition to being a wild animal). That was all Kelly and God wanted me to know at this time.
Not trying to sound like a lunatic here, but I felt compelled to share this story. So many of us (including myself), have a connection to animals. I am told by SPIRIT there are certain humans, when they make their transition, help take care of animal spirits when they come home to rest and heal. I thought, that is so cool! I can’t wait to see how God and humans provide for animals on the other side!
So let me leave you with this message of benevolent energy. All of the creatures of Earth have a connection to humans, even if they are wild animals. From the tiny mosquito (God bless those, right?!) to the chicken that gives us eggs, to the little fur-baby that curls up on our bed at night–we are all connected to the Earth, to God, and to each other. And they will always be by our side to help us, guide us, and protect us.
When you take a moment to remember your animals, say “hello” to them. They are waiting to greet you, just like they always have been.
Peace.
