Remembering the love – a sacred spirit meeting with a beloved cat

When our beloved pet has passed, there is an emptiness in our heart, and pain of their loss can stay with us for a very long time. Through a Sacred Spirit Journey, a meeting with our beloved animal’s spirit can bring much peace and comfort, help us cope with their loss and turn pain into peace. Today I wish to share a recent Sacred Spirit Journey I did to meet my beloved angel cat, Rumi, who died tragically in a car accident several years ago. As I prepare for the Sacred Spirit Journey, I notice what a beautiful sunny day it is outside. “It was a beautiful day too when I passed”, I hear a voice say. I turn around and see Rumi. Rumi jumps up on my lap and starts kneading on my stomach as he sits facing me, purring. Kneading and purring for a long time. Just as he loved doing when he was alive; it was his absolute favorite thing to do.

Rumi says:

“It’s not always about wisdom and learning things, of finding the lesson in it all – sometimes it’s enough just to make a connection, to feel the closeness, the strength of the bond and the love once more. No matter how many times you say goodbye, my heart is still with you. We still belong together. The reason I don’t usually show up in journeys is that I’m closer than you think.”

Marianne’s angel cat Rumi

Marianne: “What do you mean you’re closer than I think?” Rumi continues:

“I visit through Sam [a black and white tuxedo cat in my care] so I can be near. I’m never far away. My last message for you was ‘Remember the love’, and although you do, my painful passing still to a certain degree holds you back. The painful event is in the past. Let go of the past and enter fully in the Now, for that is where the fullness of my continuing love for you can be experienced . Let it go and see me not as a reminder of the pain, but of the love.”

Rumi settles to rest on my lap, and I feel his closeness. I keep returning to the present, to being here with him, to feeling the bond and the love. And when the painful memories of his passing comes up, I gently let them go and return to the Now where his spirit is resting softly with me. Keep returning the Now and remembering the love. Sometimes that’s all we can or need to do. Then Rumi gets ready to leave. “Thank you and bless you”, I say to him. I thank my spirit guide and end the journey.
