Hello Michelle, So I just checked out some of "The Secret" movie. I have to say that I am not very New Age. I like dirt and rocks and things that my hands can touch and pick up. I am going to school again getting my science classes - chemistry, biology, physics, etc. - dirt and rocks stuff, and I am constantly amazed at how little we know about all that we know. We know some stuff about the bits that fill the space around us, but the space itself, of which there is far more of than the bits - a mystery. I just watched "What the Bleep Do We Know" this weekend and I was very impressed. It reminds me of the "The Secret" and I would encourage those of you who haven't seen it, to watch it. I want to be a Quantum Physicist now so badly. :) Anyway, this stuff is not "New Age", it's just beautifully simple - like e=mc squared. For the speed of light to be packaged in five human symbols is amazing in it's complexity and simplicity. This is all to say, it these videos make sense and are very hopeful.
So, I'm new to this visualization stuff, but with all of your help, I visualized constantly the thread connecting me with Satchmo and Beatrix when they were lost (as did you all - and still, thank you!) and less than 48 hours later they were back with me. So Michelle, please, please don't think about how empty your house will be without Lucy, because what you are visualizing is an empty house full of despair. And what you are sending out is that image. Sit next to Lucy and close your eyes and feel her, listen to her breathe, and see her all over the house for years to come. Look at your hand on her back, the way her fur looks under it, feels under it, and see a sunny summer day when you are petting her asleep in a sunspot. And see next Christmas when she's all cracked out on catnip. See a house full of her and hope in many situations to come. Be filled with the joy of it. Like I said, I'm new to this, so I don't know how death fits in, how we handle it when the universe ignores our visualization. Nina and Hideyo help us there. But whatever you do, please don't see the house empty. That bridge isn't here yet, so keep your eyes on the space in front of you and what you'd like it to look like. I am so New Age, I love it. What have you guys done to me? Hideyo has me singing songs about her cats, Michelle has me filling her house with cat breathe. :) Leslie
