As I begin the Sacred Spirit Journey to connect with Celia’s angel dog Ray, I center in my heart. From my heart space, I feel drawn to walk out in that beautiful sacred landscape I have been to in many previous journeys. I let go of everything I don’t need right now. There are different ways of doing that. Today, I remove a thick layer and stand in my light body or spirit self.
I have bare feet, and I feel the sand beneath my feet. I move my toes a little, and then walk on the sand towards the beautiful sea. The sun is shining from a clear blue sky, and the light is shimmering on the water.
I go all the way down to the water’s edge and let the gentle waves of water wash over my feet. It is refreshing, and I take a couple of deep breaths.
I am fully present, at peace, and deeply connected to this place. I turn my awareness more outward and look around. Although this beautiful place is familiar, I still strive to consciously be fully present with gratitude. I express thanks for this sacred, healing place, and in that moment I see my spirit guide approaching, smiling. I then look above and see Eagle flying, circling around me. I feel supported and loved.
I then see Ray come walking towards me. He looks beautiful, healthy, and strong, and so sweet. I smile and I sit down and greet him. Ray says:
“May I join you?”
I reply, “Of course. It is you I am here to meet. It is such an honor to meet you.”
Ray sits down close to me on my left side, and I reach out and touch him.
“Thank you for coming,” he says, and continues:
“I take nothing for granted, but feel deep appreciation that Celia has reached out to me through you. She was my best friend – and still is. My heart belongs with her, and I stay near her.
I feel and see her pain and grief, and the regret she struggles with too. Please let her know it is okay to grieve, but that she does not need to hold on to the regret.
Let us move into an acceptance of what was, surrender to what is, and ease into the present where our hearts meet and our souls connect.
Feel the love that is in your heart, and let it connect you with me.”
While Ray was speaking, Celia had arrived and is sitting next to him.
“You wise little one, Ray. I love you so much,” Celia says and gives him a hug.
Ray smiles and looks at Celia with love in his eyes, and says:
“We had a good life. Thank you for that. Don’t forget that in the midst of your grief. Make space for both. It is all right. I am right here with you as you go through this process, and as you move forth on your soul’s path.
You see, our paths joined a long time ago, and we will connect and meet again. Have faith, and know that even if I am not with you in a physical form, I am with you in spirit, and our hearts are connected.
Feel the love, embrace the gratitude, and celebrate the life we shared.
Learn from me, and other animals for that matter. Allow yourself to be fully present in the Now. Even surrender to the Now, for it is in the Now you can meet me. The Now is the center of it all, and the gateway as well.
Center in your heart with my name in your thoughts and heart, and I am there. Right by your side and in your heart.
I am doing fine.
Thank you for all your love, and your dedicated care. I always loved you, and I always will.
Ease into the present where I hold you in my peace, and let my peace comfort you.
This is a wonderful place of healing.
It is time for me to go. Do you want to go with me part of the way and explore a bit?”
Celia says, “Yes, I would love that. Thank you.”
We are all lifted up in the air and fly or float up above the landscape. [A note: in ordinary reality, the music ‘Kindred spirit’ by Deuter is playing].
We watch the stunningly beautiful landscape below and around us. Animals too. There is a feeling that the Divine is near, holding us; showing us it that it is ever present when we open our heart and mind.
With deep gratitude we rise even higher. There is a deep clear blue sky and clear sunlight.
I see some flower petals come floating towards us, and I smile. My angel cat Minnie is before us.
I smile and say to Minnie, “I figured it was you, my precious one. Thank you for coming. We are so glad to see you.”
Minnie greets us all warmly, and her love, joy, and beauty radiate from her and hold us gently, making us feel at home in her presence. Minnie guides Ray to her special, sacred place where there are many angel animals. I call this place, ‘Minnie’s meadow’, it is a beautiful, magical place in the Light.
Ray enters with curiosity, and is greeted by many friendly, happy animals that treat him as a good friend. We see how they show him around, and he looks happy and at home. We stand and watch, giving Ray time to adjust and familiarize himself with the place and the animals.
As we stand there watching, a little bird sits nearby, singing beautifully. The bird comes over and circles in front of Celia, and lands on her hand that she reaches out. The bird says:
“I am your soul bird. Listen for my song. Listen to your soul’s song.
The beauty of my song reminds you of the beauty of your soul. And as you connect with your soul, you connect with Ray, for he is soul family.
If you wish, I can return with you and be a guide and friend. Uplift and guide you. Dont worry if you cannot see me right away. Just focus on listening for now.
In your daily life, listen to the songs of the birds. They bring you closer to nature, to your soul, to Ray, to the Divine. They bring you peace, joy, harmony, connection.
May you walk in wonder.”
Celia smiles, accepts the bird, and gives thanks.
In that moment, Ray comes over, and Celia embraces him. Ray smiles and says:
“I like it here. I have already made many friends. You don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine. Just call me when you need me. I will be with you in an instant.”
I then see Archangel Jophiel coming towards us. She goes to Celia and offers her a beautiful pink rose.
Celia accepts the rose with thanks and holds it close to her heart.
It is time for Celia to return home, so we all say goodbye. Ray stays, and Celia waves, and says, “See you, my sweet Ray.”
Celia goes home and puts her rose in a vase. She hears the bird singing outside. Silently, she gives thanks for the gifts, the meeting, for being blessed with knowing Ray, and for still feeling him in her heart and life. Celia is at peace.
I give thanks and end the journey.
I am so grateful to hear from Ray and am comforted by his wise words. I have for the past weeks been very conscious during my walks at my nearby beach and noticed the sunlight shimmering onto the sea water when I take a pause during the walks and sometimes take a seat. I even pointed that out to Ray in my mind. We used to walk along the beach almost daily in the mornings before his condition started to deteriorate. I had started to consciously notice the birds chirping and butterflies, the trees and nature during the walks.
I would like to also share that last weekend, 2 small yellow birds flew into my balcony which has not happened before, and one started singing continuously to me. I cried, and then thanked them, feeling so much gratitude.
I am thankful to you to have provided me so many insights to the Sacred Spirit Journey, where I noted numerous synchronicities. I will continue to make conscious effort to be present in the future and I hope to continue to receive signs from Ray and the Divine. I also believe in and will humbly seek guidance from the my soul bird. Once again, thanks so much. Warm regards, Celia
