A Healing Experience
My dear friend, Fiona Karolus (pictured), who has now passed over, had a Bernese Mountain Dog called Ricky. Ricky hadn’t been too well for some weeks. He was bred by Fiona, she had his Bernese daddy, Roddy. Ricky and Roddy had a big falling out a couple of years earlier and a few weeks previously Roddy had passed over. Now Ricky was very unwell. The vets didn’t know what was wrong, everything came up fine in tests, but Ricky wasn’t happy or himself. This was in the late 1990s. He needed some form of healing but I had no idea how to help.
I had another lovely friend visiting me from the USA. Arlene Morningstar, friend to me and to Fiona.
Although I am a Reiki master and EFT (Tapping) practitioner, healing isn’t my thing (though of course I do use both at times). For me communication is my soul’s purpose, though I hadn’t found it at that time. Arlene was a healer and she asked if I would like to participate in a healing for Ricky. Of course I said Yes.
I now found myself participating in something I have never experienced before, or since.
At that time I was pretty undeveloped spiritually and hadn’t learned many of the things I have in the intervening years, even though I was doggedly going to spiritual development workshops to do meditations to meet my guides and so on. I had been having problems with these meditations for years because I couldn’t even visualise! Arlene solved that problem for me immediately. She asked me to lay down and relax and to visualise I was walking down a country lane. I told her I couldn’t visualise. Arlene said “You don’t have to see it, you just need to know it’s there” and all the problems I ever had with visualisation went away right then and there. Thank you again Arlene for that gift as it opened the door for me to be able to learn so much more!
So now we had got over that hurdle, Arlene led me through a meditation where I ended up in a place that was special to me. This was a clearing in a forest with a stream running through, grass, wild flowers, birds, insects and wild animals. This is where I go when I meditate.
The healing begins
Now Arlene told me we were going to help Ricky. She asked me to imagine I had a ship, like a little space ship, next to me that I was going to travel in. I had a bag and in this bag was everything I was going to need to heal Ricky. She sent me on a journey where I got into my little ship with my bag and went into Ricky’s body.
During this journey we visited lots of parts of Ricky’s body and wherever we went everything seemed perfectly normal. So Arlene told me to look in my bag because what Ricky needed was in there. I found a blanket in my bag, a blanket of love. I asked Ricky why he needed this and he said he was suffering because he and Roddy were not friends when Roddy passed over. Arlene told me to ask Roddy to come and help. Bear in mind I didn’t do any kind of animal communication at that time. I asked and Roddy came. He helped me to wrap Ricky in a blanket of love. I still cry when I think about the love that flowed during this healing.
Once we had spent some time like this Arlene told me to thank Roddy for coming to help and to thank Ricky for allowing us to participate in his healing and I withdrew from Ricky and came back.
