The journey of ascension is all about transitions.  We have infinite opportunities to let go of what has been and to be open to receive what is coming next.  One type of transition is to let go of an old body that is worn out and allow the soul that has been living in it to be free to continue its work in spirit and perhaps eventually, in another body.

Our wonderful dog Clark would have been 15 in mid December.  He asked to be put to sleep this week and we had to let him go.  He was so ready.  I had been guided to adopt another whippet puppy this past February.  His name is Tobias.  My friend Penny Golden, Publisher of the Body Mind Spirit Guide, happened to note that Tobias is the same soul as Clark, but in a new body!  Tobias just turned 1 this month.

Talk about smooth transitions!  Over the past few years, Clark has gradually released his higher levels of soul and become increasingly simple and dog-like (which if you knew him, was not his strongest set of qualities!).  So when he left once and for all, it was truly a simple step out of his body and into spirit.  Now here the same soul is, in his new body; young and healthier in every way than Clark ever was in his old body, which had been through some early traumas and challenges that Tobias has not had to contend with.  Now that Clark has left, Tobias is stepping into the roles of healer dog and special friend in every way.  And while it is a little bit of an adjustment to not have Clark here any more, it is not difficult either.

I love this reminder that we are all eternal, and our souls are more versatile and complex than we can understand fully.  Many of us are living in more than one body at a time, in order to evolve more quickly and accomplish things which are needed.  We are multi-tasking in the ultimate sense!  Even if we aren’t doing that, we each have much more of our soul at all times in spirit than is present in our physical bodies.  So whatever is going on right now in your present life, you can remember that it is just a small piece of the picture for you.  Enjoy the gifts and challenges that you have on your plate and remember not to take them too seriously.  Tobias would be the first one to help you remember that.  Life is easier when you let yourself be silly; take time to play and give lots of hugs and kisses to those you love.
