Hi Patricia,

I am so sorry for your loss but it is not all bad Patricia. You must cheer up and do not let your dogs down. The dogs have come into your life to teach you some valuable lessons and when their work was done, they left and started on another journey. We are all on our own journeys. Think of it like taking a train from A to Z. So many people board the train that we are in and leave as soon as their station arrives. Some enter at X and leave at Z while others enter at A and leave at C etc. We may speak with some, we may connect with others, some we may just ignore but we do not get attached to any or take them home with us, do we ? Nor do we get down at an earlier station to accompany those that we have made good friends with. Do you get the drift ?

Meditation is also like a journey. It is a journey for the soul to reach from A (current state) to Z (purity, infinite dimensions, time less etc). Some come along to help us out in the journey but at the end of the day, it is our journey and we have to do it alone. A little sad but as our consciousness grows, we realise that we are not this body or a human. We are much bigger and infinite than that and we are all one and connected. Your dogs are with you but in a different form, which you may not be able to access as yet. But let your consciousness and awareness grow and I assure you that it wont be so sad anymore and things will become easier and clearer.

Now wipe those tears and focus on what lies ahead. You are on the right path. Don’t give up now. And just a thought: why don’t you adopt 2 more dogs and teach them meditation too ? Who says that we only get to have rook and cirrus only in our lives ? I have 2 beautiful dogs as well who just bring the most amount of happiness into my life and have helped me become a better person.

Blessings,

Jasmine
