Part I: Writing Your Pet a Gratitude Letter

In order to help with the transition of our beloved animals, writing them a gratitude letter is one of the best ways to let them know how we feel about them and the role they played in our lives. It is best to really take your time in writing this letter if you can. If you know your pet doesn't have much time left, it is best to put what you can down on paper so you can express to them what you want them to know. This can be a difficult process especially if your pet has been with you for many years, but it will help both of you in detaching lovingly and harmoniously. 

After you have composed the letter and you have articulated your thoughts, feelings and emotions, read the letter to your pet. If your pet has already passed away you can still do this exercise. You can either go to where your pet is buried or if you have pictures of them you can also read it to them that way. There is no "right" way to do this process. Let your spirit guide you. If you feel compelled to write 5 pages then do so, if you can only write a few sentences that's fine as well. This is an opportunity and outlet to give yourself permission to heal and let go.  

There are several options you can do with the letter after you have read it to your pet. You can either bury the letter with your pet, or if you plan to cremate your pet, you can also burn the letter and say a small prayer if you feel it is appropriate. It is probably best NOT to keep the letter as this will only hinder you from fully releasing your feelings, emotions and also your pet.

As I mentioned in my introduction blog, I am in the midst of  my best friend passing. It has been very difficult and I have had to mentally prepare myself for the days to come. I have written my gratitude letter and read it to Chiquita.  I plan to burn the letter and let the ashes from the paper fall where I will bury her. I found that after writing the letter and reading it to her, I was able to accept what was happening and really recognize that this is a part of life.

Many blessings to you on this journey!

Love,

Introduction: Letting Your Best Friend Go "Home"

I am creating this blog for all of you who have or are losing one of most important members of your household: your pet.

I am a Spiritual Counselor and Healer and I have devoted my life to finding truth in every aspect of our human existence. I have been doing professional readings and healings for about 5 years now and it all began with the love of my life, Chiquita. It if wasn't for my beautiful Sheltie/Fox Terrier mix, I may have never realized my intuitive gifts that have helped hundreds of people.

The first time I recognized I had the ability to heal was with my best friend and true love, my dog, Chiquita. While chasing after a squirrel at the park, Chiquita tore a ligament in her left hind leg. When I took her to the vet, the doctor advised that she would need surgery to repair the torn ligaments and would cost roughly about  $2500 dollars. I didn't have that money at my disposal so for the next couple of days I began to put my hands over her leg in hopes that the energy from my hands would heal her. I had read about this technique in the book, "Autobiography of a Yogi" written by Yogananda Paramahansa, so I thought I would try it. A week later Chiquita stopped limping and soon after that she could run and jump again. I couldn't believe that it actually worked. I was shocked and in disbelief. After that, doors began to open for me to study the healing arts and 5 years later I have a private practice.

Well, it is coming to the point in my and Chiquita's life that we have to part ways from the physical world. She is now 18 years old and very sick. This chapter in my life has to be the most painful I have experienced thus far. If you are a pet owner and have had a pet you loved more than your own parents and family, then you can relate to the agony that is associated with this type of loss. 

I am starting this blog to not only help myself with the ache that I feel in my heart, but to help millions of people who will one day have to face this reality as well. I am documenting every step I am taking to let Chiquita know that it is okay to go to the "Light". I was advised by my Spirit Guides to take several steps to begin to detach and let her know that she can go "Home". 

As a trained healer and clairvoyant, I have been taught how to communicate with animals and how to speak to them at a soul level. With the tools that I have gathered throughout my life from various spiritual teachers, gurus, shamans, healers and psychics I am developing a method and practice to help us learn to let go of our animals in a peaceful, harmonious and loving way. I talk to Chiquita everyday now that she is still in physical form because I know she's very close to going "Home".

Stay tuned for my next post where I will discuss the first step of this process....

Lots of Love and Light,
