After the loss of a beloved animal companion, one of things that can bring deep peace and comfort is connecting with the animal that has passed, for example through my Sacred Spirit Journeys, where I connect with the angel animal and bring back their healing message for their loved ones.
In the following, I will share a Sacred Spirit Journey I did for D Fell’s angel dog Juggy, and Juggy’s beautiful healing message.
You can both listen to and read Juggy’s message below.

As I begin the Sacred Spirit Journey to connect with D’s angel dog Juggy, I center in the present moment. Facing the emptiness and pain that the loss of the beloved animal companion brings. Experiencing the feeling the separation. I know it so well from my own life.
The more I become present in the Now, the more the stillness and peace of the heart and soul can be experienced.
I hear a sound from beyond (that is the best way I can describe it), so I go within my heart center space.
I am in a beautiful nature area with a rainbow bridge and a stream.
Juggy is there. He smiles as he sees us. D is with me.
A warm encounter of two souls connected through the heart and soul.
“You look good,” D says.
Juggy says: “I am doing fine, especially now that you have come to see me.
I chose this scene familiar to so many from a well-known poem.
However, there is something I need to tell you that will bring you much peace and comfort.
I want to remind you that although our physical connection is not the same as it was, our heart and soul connection certainly is. Look within – even if it hurts. Allow your heart to hurt – that is okay. You just lost a piece of your heart. Let me help you get it back.
You keep feeling that you have lost me, but deep in your heart you know very well that our connection is still as strong as it ever was. You only fear the physical separation.
To heal that wound, to ease the pain of the loss of my physical form, find ways to memorialize me, to honor the life we shared and to reconnect with the joy we had.
Tears will fall – that’s okay. That’s just love overflowing; and you have so much love in your beautiful heart.
What are creative ways you feel inspired to memorialize me other than what you have done?
To honor the life we shared, think about your most dominant feeling when we were together. Did the feeling shift during the day depending on where we were and what we were doing?
Allow yourself to re-experience the feelings of love, of joy, of peace and all the rest of those precious emotions that our time together brought out in your heart. See how they are always available right behind the pain that seems so overwhelming.
Watch thoughts, emotions, memories as they come up and ease into a feeling of deep gratitude as you reflect on how fortunate we were to come together, to meet in this lifetime.
Our souls belong together, so they will always find their way back to each other. That is why practicing listening to your heart, the inner guidance of your soul, is important, for that is what will guide you.
It is that inner knowing beyond doubt that awakens you to my presence.
Try different ways of connecting with me. Invite me for walks we used to take. Some of your walks can be sacred, dedicated walks like this.
Another way to connect is when you are dozing off, going to sleep, or just waking up. Use that time when your mind is not so busy to center in your heart and call on me. See it as an invitation from a relaxed state. Don’t have specific expectations but simply send out an invitation from your open heart and soul to me and wait. Wait in the way you would do a Becoming Present Meditation when you watch what’s happening within and without you, without hanging on, just becoming aware. Filling out your whole body with your awareness, and paying attention to your breath are ways that return you to the present moment.
It is in the Now you will easier connect with me. It is in the Now your heart will discover I’m still near. I’m by your side, just as I always was. Never doubt that.
While the rainbow bridge can be inspiring to many, use it in your own way to find me present in your life, for in spirit there is no separation. Trust your own way of connecting with me, for there is no right or wrong way. Your heart will show you the way, and as you know, your heart is connected to mine.
Put now your guilt and your regret to rest and let your heart get peace. Leaving a loved one is never easy. You always do the best you can and with a heart so full of love.
You did nothing wrong. What matters most to me is the devotion, and commitment to the path of love you and I are walking together. A path our souls will continue for lifetimes to come.
Never let heartbreak take you away from your soul’s path but pause when you need to, gather your strength and keep walking the heart-path where I always walk beside you, shining my light for your inspiration and guidance.
Let also the light of my love mend your broken heart so it may become full again with the love we shared and always will share.
Gratitude is a way to that peace, so dedicate yourself to a daily gratitude practice. Appreciate the little things, the small miracles in your life that are only truly visible to those who are present with an open heart.
Let the beauty you see in me be reflected to you from the beauty of the Earth, from the kindness of a generous word or act. May you discover that same beauty in your own heart and soul, for ultimately we are one.”
Juggy stops speaking. He goes over to the rainbow bridge and picks up something and returns to D.
It’s a rainbow crystal. Beautiful, clear crystal but with all the colors of the rainbow reflected or shining in it.
As D accepts the crystal and holds it, rainbow light shines out from and through the crystal.
Juggy says:
“One way to create that beauty and magic in your daily life is to find a crystal you can hang in the window and watch how when the sun shines on and through it, it will send rainbows in the whole room.
That is a reminder of my love for you, of our bond, and of the beauty that’s in your heart and in your life.
Be blessed.
I will always be yours.”
D says thanks from the bottom of her heart to Juggy and gives him a hug. She feels connected with him again now and peace is entering her heart.
“Thank you so much, Juggy. Is there anything else you want to say or I can do for you?” D says.
Juggy says:
“Bring back the knowing that I love you and that I am right beside you, any time you need me.
And bring my blessings and all my love to the others that are dear to my heart. I hold them in my love and light too, that they may accept my deep gratitude for allowing me to share in their lives.
I feel so blessed and send you all my love. Go home now and let your heart be at peace.
We will meet again.”
They say goodbye. Juggy stays and D goes back home, feeling blessed and a newfound joy of living that Juggy taught her so well by his mere presence.
I give thanks and end the journey.
I hope that Juggy’s message will bring you comfort and peace of mind in your time of grief.
I have found from my own experience with losing animals that were close to my heart, that the best advice for healing your heart after the loss of your beloved pet will most often come from your own angel animal – from your animal friend who knows you better than anyone, and whom you have a heart and soul connection with. For this reason, I have made my Sacred Spirit Journey service available, so you can receive a healing message from YOUR animal friend that has passed.
