Blog #188 Hard to Let Our Babies Go
I have been so honored to help guide some of my students and friends as they go through supporting their loved ones that are making their transition to Spirit soon. Mother’s, father’s, cousin’s, friend’s and of course pets; doing Long Distance Healings, performing Last Rites and holding space and communicating with the Spirit to see what they are still finishing up on. Or as they say, helping them get their ducks in a row! We have been helping them to clear and call back their energy, so they may take it all with them when they go.
This has been a very challenging week for me. My sweet girl Kailua (pictured) got sick and was coughing a lot the last week or so on and off. I took her to the vet and they found in the ultrasound that she had a bladder tumor, very rare in cats and nothing they can do for it. By the end of the week she was breathing super hard and the pain meds were not touching it; and she wasn’t eating or drinking anything.
All the signs were showing us it was time to let her go. She made her transition peacefully to spirit at the vets, as I was crying and held her sweet body in my arms I watched her spirit pop out of her body and take her leave. With all our love and healing prayers it became clear it was her time. Kailua was only 11 year old, so very young because most all my kitties lived to be 19, 18, 19, and 22 years old. I am so blessed she was with us for 11 years bringing such joy, playfulness and laughter.
What a blessing, by the end of the day I was so happy to see Kailua’s Spirit sitting in her favorite chair in our family room.
A few days later I decided to write her a loving healing thank you letter, and I know she received it metaphysically in spirit. I used the powerful tool the “Healing Release Ceremony”. What an awesome gift to give her and to myself.
This wonderful healing tool which has been so very helpful through the years is so transforming for anyone who has a loved one who is making or has made their transition to Spirit. Often we don’t get to say goodbye or share the things we would like to say and this incredible simple healing tool allows you to do just that.
A beautiful way to let go of all your grief, sadness, doubts, guilt, pain, and anger… and forgive them and have them forgive you, and especially forgiving yourself. Then calling back your own life force energy; for you to be able to fulfill your Soul’s purpose and divine plan in this life and carry on.
It is called the Healing Release Ceremony:
1. Begin by sitting in a nice quiet place and clearing your mind and ground yourself from the first chakra to the center of the Earth.
2. Become calm and centered and peaceful, running your Earth and Cosmic energy. Give yourself a nice deep breath.
3. Let your God Self or inner guidance guide you to what you are ready to heal and let go of and who you would like to communicate with at this time.
4. This is a profound healing tool for our physical, mental and emotional bodies.
5. Next sit and write a letter to your loved one that has made their transition to Spirit. Let all your emotions flow onto the page as you write.
Example write: Dear Mother or Dear ________ and start with writing and letting go of all the sadness, hurt, pain, anger, that you feel. Let yourself cry and laugh and just feel all the feelings flowing out of your body. You may write two pages or twenty, just let yourself release it all. Allow yourself to feel what you feel and let yourself express your feelings freely.
As you end the letter allow yourself to feel the love, forgiveness and appreciation for them, and them for you and especially for yourself!
6. Then read your letter out loud and see yourself sitting across from them. They will be there with you energetically. Read the letter to them and say all the things you always wanted to say and never could or never had the chance to.
7. Thank them for all they did or did not do and thank them for being there to hear your letter.
8. Then burn the letter in the fireplace and watch it all go up in smoke. YOU ARE NOW FREE! And so are they!
Call all your energy back into a big Gold Sun above your head of neutral loving joyous energy that is all yours. Open the Gold Sun like an egg and fill yourself up with this liquid gold from the top of your head to the tips of your toes and out through your aura. Feel the amazing healing calm and awareness that has freed up in your space.
9. Breathe and feel the peace and calm within your body that letting go and forgiving has created for you.
Now you have given yourself space to Be, space to heal and space to create more in your own life.
Trust your intuition and follow your own inner guidance. Every day, we have the power to let go and to be more free to BE Ourselves!
I have written a release letter too many of my family members who have made their transition and to some that I chose to heal with. And when I am having a hard time or feel stuck, I will often write a letter to myself and burned it and I always feel lighter and more and clear.
Give yourself space and time to heal and process.
When you have those times when you are feeling really sad and missing your loved one that has passed, take a moment close your eyes and say hello to them in spirit, and allow yourself to see or feel how happy and joyous they are surrounded by family and friends and on their way to their next adventure. It is such a gift!
Be gentle with yourself!
