Here are a few of Ken's Journeys to meet with Spirits of Pets, some with customer comments to follow.
GRACE
8/23/05: A Journey to attempt to visit with the spirit of a dear friend's recently passed dog, Grace. As I went into this journey, I found I was standing with Utawa, my Mirror Spirit. He told me to take my other mirror, my latest acquisition, and follow its energy absorptions. I did so and soon found myself standing near the same forest scene I had experienced during my prior journey for Grace, when I saw her released spirit at play.
She was running around with wild abandon. I suddenly was transformed into my friend's likeness! When Grace saw this, she nestled up to "me" and then stood up on her hind paws, her front legs in "my" arms. She then got down and slunk backwards, front legs flat on the ground but rear legs still up..the classic "let's play" stance. She then ran a few Circles, lead me further into the woods, and peed. Everywhere she left her water, instantaneously there sprung up a yellow and orange daffodil...and soon there were 10s of them. She then brought a few to "me" in her mouth.
She then led me further down the trail to a picnic table near a lake. She ran into the water, and played catch with both a frisbee and a tennis ball. Suddenly, night fell. My friend, now back as herself (versus me standing in for her) and Grace were lying quietly beneath the stars. Suddenly, Grace got up and sat, facing Sirius, the Dog Star.
Soon, flakes of colorful energy began emerging from Sirius, and began falling like a gentle snow around the two as they now slept. I then asked Grace for a sign that my friend would recognize as Grace's presence. First, she told me, she could bring small, orange-yellow (as in daffodils?), small stones to her. Then, perhaps, a collection of small twigs, small enough to fit in her mouth. Divots in the lawn, small enough for her hind feet, will be another sign.
But mainly, my friend will feel a tiny puff of air on her nose; chin; and legs, when she least expects it. Finally, Grace referred me back to the end of my prior journey for her..Grace will always be with my friend, running free nearby, even into her elderly years. Grace made it clear to me that the main message to my friend is that she, Grace, will always be young and vibrant in the Spirit World. Here, the visit ended.
My Friend responded to this Information by saying that Grace absolutely loved daffodils, and so she knew it was really her I had visited.
KRISSI
1/19/07: A Journey taken at a Friend's Request to visit with her and her Partner's recently departed Dog, Krissi.
As I entered the Spirit World, I found a small dog wearing a little green sweater scratching at a front door to go out. Krissi was very excited, and darting back and forth in anticipation. As we went out, I found myself actually merging with Krissi, so that I saw and felt what was going on just as if I WERE Krissi. Smells on the ground were amazingly varied and intense.
Dog vision appears different from ours, with everything stretched out more and a little less focused. Things around seem to move more slowly then we see them as doing. After exploring a while, "we" heard his owner's voice, which was calling. To "us" it sounded just like another animal calling, but one "we" associated with strong ties. Back out of Krissi's energy, I sensed and actually saw an invisible bond with her owners, almost like an "energy leash", that did not sever no matter how far away from them Krissi got.
Once inside, I saw an Image of Krissi sitting on a stool having her picture taken. She then bolted out through the walls, and we were in a different place...the scene had shifted. There was a forest clearing, and the many trees' leaves were a bright, golden-yellow. The clearing was circular, and Krissi had found a spirit mate to be with.
The Mate was essentially identical to her. The two would lie side by side, almost in an embrace, with heads and paws intertwined. Predators would go by in the nearby brush but not even notice them, as if they were invisible. They were totally secure here.
Then, the "Spirit of Dog" appeared to me, half dog and half human. We sat together on a nearby log. "Well, Four Hawks," he said to me. "I know many people, and even you from time to time, believe that animals have what is called a "group soul", a group consciousness. When one dies, that nergy reverts back to all the others still living.
But in cases where there is a strong bond like Krissi has, a small part of the animal soul remains intact after death, and continues to live with the owners. Krissi still goes in her owners' dwelling and pretends to eat, lick their faces, etc."
Suddenly, a huge whale appeared jumping up into mid air through a space in the forest wall. The whale came slamming down onto the ground in front of us. Before we knew it, Krissi (now in my Arms) and I were riding the waves on the whale's back, barely holding on and barely above the surface.
The whale then jumped up and we plunged into the water. With my staff and mirror, I remained safe underwater, and looking up saw Krissi dog-paddling along. I came up to watch as we both got out of a lake. The scene had shifted once more, and we were no longer in an ocean. Krissi shook off the excess water and then began running around, clenching a small stick.
Krissi then went sniffing along and checked out an opening at the bottom edge of a small shack. A black cat was hiding in there and batted at Krissi with a perhaps-under-white paw but missed. Krissi then chased the cat away. As Krissi rounded the corner, I walked up toward a small clearing and once again was in the presence of the Dog Spirit, who handed me a small ball of blue energy.
This is part of Krissi's earth soul, he said, "Place it in one of your Moqui Stones and have your friends keep it as long as they need it. When they are done, however long that takes, they should give you back the stone, as it is one of your tools."
The scene then shifted once more and I saw Krissi circled up on the edge of a bed, asleep. A small cone/tornado of slowly-moving stars formed around and above Krissi. Soon all else had faded but Krissi and the stars. Then, the "call back" drumming ounded. I returned to the room and thanked the spirits.
NOTE: Whale is the keeper of records, the spirit of one's own unique song. Whale's appearance was obviously meant to show that Krissi's earth life is recorded strongly in the great spiral of time. Also, the presence of a lot of water reflects a lot of emotion still surrounding the issue of her passing. Krissi shakes off the water, inviting her owners to likewise shake off the excess emotion.
