As I begin the Sacred Spirit Journey to connect with Elaine’s angel dog Gordy, a little bird comes flying to me and says:
“I am the bird of hope. I will take you to Gordy.”
The bird starts flying upwards, and I follow. Upwards. High up in the sky.
We come up to Minnie’s meadow. That is a special place my angel cat Minnie has in the Light, where she holds the light for many animals. It is a sacred place of healing and companionship for pets that have passed. I am not surprised, for during my preparations, I heard Gordy saying to Elaine:
“I hold the light for you.”
That is a phrase very familiar to me, because my angel cat Minnie has said that often, also when she was alive.
Gordy comes walking calmly towards us, and greets us in a friendly manner. Gordy says:
“I enjoy being in this healing place of light with good friends, and full of healing, light, and love. I am doing fine, so Elaine doesn’t need to worry about me. It is her we need to help. To help bring comfort, healing, and hope to her.”
We walk across the meadow, over to Archangel Jophiel’s temple. Archangel Jophiel helps uplift your thoughts, and she is the Archangel of Divine Beauty, Hope, and Joy. Her color is fuchsia pink, and she is associated with the fragrance of roses.
In this moment, we smell roses. The most wonderful fragrance that invites us to breathe in deeply and to relax.
On the other side of the temple is a hillside leading down to a beach, and we see Elaine coming up the path towards us. Butterflies visiting flowers that grow along the path greet Elaine as she walks by.
Elaine sees a lavender, and picks one flower. She puts the flower up to her nose and breathes in the powerful, calming fragrance. She brings the flower with her as she walks the last stretch of the path.
As Elaine gets to the top of the hill, Gordy and Archangel Jophiel meet her and greet her warmly.
“You made it,” Gordy says. “I am so proud of you, and I am happy to see you.
As you were the light of my life, and my heart’s love, I now hold the light for you and the love. That will help you heal.
I am among friends here. This is Minnie’s place, and there she is to welcome you as her special guest.”
My angel cat Minnie comes walking towards us. Radiant, beaming with love and light, she brings two beautiful flower wreaths with wonderful colors. Pink for love – unconditional and eternal; sky blue for infinity and clarity; white for purity and cleansing; yellow for joy and the sun.
Archangel Jophiel takes the wreaths and puts one on Gordy’s head, and the other on Elaine’s. They look beautiful.
Elaine smiles and goes to Gordy and hugs him, holding him like she will never let him go.
Gordy smiles and says:
“Don’t worry. I am not going anywhere. Although I am not in my physical form, I am still by your side; I am still there for you.
In good times, and in challenging times, always together; always a trusted friend.
You can count on me. I will help you through this difficult time, I will carry your soul on wings of love, and uplift your spirit with my joyful presence.”
“I will help you return to peace and gratitude – and yes, to joy.
Breathe deeply and take in the divine fragrance of roses, and take a couple of lavenders too.
A healing bath is ready for you.”
In a private place among the rose bushes there is a bath filled with healing water and rose petals, lavender and other healing flowers.
[Note: An interesting synchronicity happened after I did this journey, I suddenly came across an on-line photo of a bath tub filled with flowers.]
While Elaine steps into the flower filled water, Archangel Jophiel sings angelic songs and Gordy sits next to her, telling her how much he loves her, and sharing fond memories. A deep gratitude fills them, and held by Gordy’s love and Jophiel’s angelic song, Elaine feels a deep inner peace emerging, and she dozes off into beautiful dreams filled with wonderful memories of her time with Gordy. The loss is still felt, but the gratitude for Gordy’s love casts away all negativity, and eases her into the peace of the present moment where Gordy’s love is still felt.
The little bird of hope comes, sits nearby, and sings its beautiful songs of hope. Elaine awakens to the singing with a smile on her face.
As Elaine steps out of the water, Archangel Jophiel offers her a beautiful dress with roses and other flowers on it; magnificent colors that uplift her spirit.
We then notice a full length mirror, and as Elaine looks in the mirror, she sees her beautiful self, the new dress, the light in her eyes, and a smile on her face. She is surprised. Elaine then sees Gordy who is standing beside her, and her whole face lights up. Elaine is radiant.
Elaine says to Gordy:
“Your love lifts me up, and brings peace to my heart and soul.
Thank you for everything, my sweet friend.
I will love you forever. But I still have this question: How can I go on without you?”
Elaine sits on the grass by the roses, with Gordy on her lap. He looks at her and says:
“My love, it is only when you look with the physical eyes and with your mind that you believe that you have to go forward without me, but if you center in your heart, you will see my light and the love I left behind.”
“Your heart is a portal to our sacred space. Some may say it is in your imagination, but you know, if you imagine being with me, it is so. Intention and imagination are powerful tools. They can help unlock the experience of my presence in the Now, for as you know, we are more than our bodies. We are light, we are spirit, we are love. When you connect with the light and the love, you connect with me, for love is our bond. A bond that cannot be broken. Trust that bond, just as you trusted my love. Just as you trusted – and knew deep in your heart – that we were meant to be together.
I am still with you now as you go forward on your path. Walk boldly, for I am with you all the way, and I light up your path and guide you when you need it.
You are never alone, and as the little hope-bird says: There is always hope. Let that bird accompany you, and pay attention to the little birds you meet, for they bring you messages of hope and love from me. You will be fine.
Thank you, my sweet friend. Walk home in peace. I have loved you always, and I will love you forever.”
Elaine and Gordy say a warm goodbye.
As Elaine begins walking back down the path, she turns and waves to Gordy, and he says:
“See you,” and smiles.
“I will look forward to that,” says Elaine.
Elaine begins walking, and a white butterfly comes and joins her, accompanying her as she walks home. She is still wearing her flower wreath and beautiful dress, and the little bird is sitting on her shoulder. Halfway down the path, she stops for a moment and looks out over the sea where the sun shines on the water which sparkles and shimmers. A magnificent sight. She continues and walks home with peace and gratitude in her heart.
I give thanks and end the journey.
“I am the bird of hope. I will take you to Gordy.”
The bird starts flying upwards, and I follow. Upwards. High up in the sky.
