Radio Interview on "Paranormal radio" Dec. 20 at 8pm EST

On the air NOW!  8pm EST on Dec. 20th Radio Interview on "Paranormal radio" from Saskatchewan, Canada With Host: Jeff Richards  talking about "Pets and the Afterlife"
LISTEN: http://ckom.com/listen-live

During the program, Jeff had posted a video of a mouse dying in a mousetrap and a whitish energy leaving the physical body of the mouse (likely it's soul). Just a note: One thing I didn't get to mention during the interview is that often just before the physical body passes, either pet or person, the soul (energy that includes memories and personality) leaves the physical body. -That's especially the case during car accidents and the like. Spirits have told me that they didn't fell the physical pain as their spirit left their body an instant before impact.

Why do Pets show a Burst of Energy before Putting them to sleep?

During my interview with Darkness Radio, I was asked "Why do Pets show a Burst of Energy before putting them to sleep?" Dave, the host said that he experienced this with his dogs before they were euthanized.

The answer is that the dog or cat knows you are helping them move out of pain and cross over into a pain free part of life, and they know that you're doing it out of the intense love you share. 

So, although this "burst of energy" at the end causes grief in pet parents, they actually exhibit it because they're happy to cross over, and thankful pet parents love them enough to recognize that. 

Urns, Ashes and Spirit Visitors

Back in 2012, I posted a blog about urns, ashes and spirit visitors, and I still get a lot of questions from that blog, so I'm revisiting and adding to it. 

ASHES CAN ACT AS A MAGNET TO SPIRIT- People who have urns in their homes with ashes of people or pets may get spiritual visitors. Ghosts are earth-bound and usually stuck to the places they choose to dwell.Spirits (human or pets) who cross over into the light, however, can come back to earth and visit their loved ones any time they have something to say. Having their ashes in the house gives the spirits something to be drawn to. 

WHY? The physical body had energy when we were alive. When we or our pets pass, most of the energy couples with our memories and personalities and makes the choice to stay Earth -bound as a ghost, or cross into the light/heaven/paradise/valhalla as a spirit. HOWEVER, because ashes are physical remains, they would still contain residual energy. that is, some leftover energy.

HOW DOES RESIDUAL ENERGY ATTRACT A SPIRIT? - Residual energy in ashes can act as a "beacon" to spirit whenever someone goes near them with love in their heart for that person or pet that passed. Love is a positive emotional energy than can "charge" the energy in the ashes and draw a spirit. The spirit would only come to check on the living, and remind them that they are still with the living person from time to time.

WHAT IS RESIDUAL ENERGY? -  Just as if a human left residual energy on an object (like a clock or a door) when they were alive, if it had some emotional meaning to them. Ashes also have that "thumbprint" of emotional energy, and spirits are also drawn to them. 

PERSONAL EXPERIENCES- One woman I met told me that she has he ashes of her cat, and has sensed that cat several times. My own puppy that passed has come back to me many times, and I have his ashes in the house. Years ago, a roommate had ashes of his mother in the house and she appeared in the house who appeared as a dark shadow in the apartment. So, urns containing ashes can enable spirits to come back from time to time and visit. Just watch for them!

Thought of the day: Memories of Loved Ones

This past week, there have been three passings connected to friends and family. Even people we know for a short time can make a lasting impression. 
  It's amazing how people touch our lives, even sometimes for a short period of time. But they impressions they make provide us with good memories. Those memories are their gift to those they leave behind. 
  It seems that many people pass during the holidays, birthdays or anniversaries. Of course, they also return around those times to give us signs that they're still with us. So, keep them in your heart and minds, and look for things that remind you of them, because they're likely very near now that the holiday season is upon us.

In the News: Mystery surrounds photo of owner spreading dog's ashes

The following article and photo was published on Oct. 21 about a woman in Colorado spreading her dog's ashes, and a white mist appeared in the picture. Since it's in a valley, it's common for mist to form in the morning, but since there is no other mist apparent in this wide picture, it's very likely not that. In fact, it is more likely that it's the dog's spirit. - Rob  

Mystery surrounds photo of owner spreading dog's ashes

White shadow in shape of dog seen in photo

Published  12:14 PM EDT Oct 21, 2015

 

ASPEN, Colo. —A photo of a woman spreading her dog's ashes in Colorado is bringing comfort to some people who have lost their beloved pets, while others are questioning its authenticity.

The photo shows a woman, identified as Ashley, spreading her dog Wagner’s ashes over their favorite dog park in Colorado. In the photo, a white shadow in the shape of a leaping dog appears near the woman.

KOLO 8 News Now’s Amanda Sanchez shared the photo with the caption, “This is Ashley spreading her dog Wagner's ashes. He was a golden retriever and the love of her life. She lives in Chicago but flew to Aspen to spread the ashes at Wagner Park. Need I say more???”

"Brought tears to my eyes, as I just lost my beloved dog," one person commented on the photo.
"If that does not tell us our animals r still with us after they pass then nothing will," another person commented.

The Nevada Humane Society also shared the photo and posed the question, “Who believes the Rainbow Bridge is real and who believes our pets are looking over us once they pass on?”
However, there were some skeptics who commented on the photo, as well.

"No one else is questioning that despite general darkness and shadows, the grass and building in the background are lighter? I think this is a bad photoshop job," another person commented.
You decide.

Q&A: What if I don't keep my pet's ashes?

Ashes are echoes of previous life

Recently I received a question about not keeping a pet's ashes. You don't need to feel as if you should- it's an individual choice, and spirit will always find you.

In previous blogs I've mentioned that if you have a pet's or a person's ashes there may be some residual energy attached to them which can serve as a draw or a magnet to attract their energy. However, since most people and pets are cremated or buried in whole form, their spirit still finds us because they are tuned into our energy.

Q: The ashes of my dog were put into a communal cremation, and I am struggling with guilt. What can you tell me?

A: There is no need to feel any guilt or anxiety about placement of her ashes in a communal cremation.  They were just remnants of a physical existence.
  Our pet's and people's souls leave their physical body, usually even just before their physical body dies.  The ashes are just the remnants of a physical shell, but it's not necessary to keep them. They have a small amount of residual energy, but that fades over time, and a connection to them fades over time. What doesn't fade is the bond of energy (of love) you share, that will always keep you connected.

Scents from Spirits - even dogs!

Spirits can use sounds, touch, appear visibly, move things, manipulate electrical things and even make an appearance as a scent.  I've spoken with many people who have smelled their late mom's favorite perfume whenever they were thinking of their mother, or a cigar on the birthday of their favorite uncle who used to smoke them. Spirits of people are not the only ones who can give us "scented" signs. Pets can, too. 
   When I was at a pet expo, I met a woman named Gail who told me her dog had gone outside and passed near a rosebush the day of his passing. She told me when she went out soon after calling her dog, she quickly found that he had passed away near roses. She said she will never forget the smell of the roses.
   After she had her dog cremated, she got the ashes and smelled roses. She knew that her dog was giving her a sign that he was still around. Gail told me whenever she smells roses, she gets a strong feeling that her dog's spirit is right beside her.
