A couple days leading up to our sweet pup Maggie’s passing this summer, I had the honor to do some energy support sessions with her. I documented it because it was such a profound experience that changed me deeply. I share this powerful, personal experience as example of how energy work—like the Emotion Code—can provide powerful support to animals, and their humans.

The two weeks leading up to Maggie’s passing, we didn’t know for sure when would be her time to go. We scheduled a consultation with an end-of-life vet that provides in-home hospice support for aging and ailing animals, as well as euthanasia services. We originally made the appointment to get a better sense of where she was at and what we should think about in terms of her care for her final weeks/months.
But she was declining rapidly. Leading up to the consultation, though we hoped/thought that we might still have more time with her, we began preparing our hearts for what might come. I felt compelled to do some energy work sessions with Maggie.
Thursday 6/24/2021
I did an energy healing session with Maggie. My eyes were closed, and I had a vision:
We were in a forest with a clearing of bright green grass and golden white shimmering light with a blue sky in the distance.
Maggie lied down in front of me, very calm and relaxed.
I saw white doves landing gently on the ground around her, moving around her slowly and gently.
Ancient mothers & healers were there supporting me by also sending Divine healing energy to Maggie to amplify and support both of us.
As Maggie rolled over on her side in the vision, there was an eagle standing next to her, with its wing span spread out beside her, along the length of her body. It was supporting her with gentle care and comfort. The eagle said, “We will carry her. We are here with her.”
Light pink and golden light poured in around her and all of us.
Friday 6/25/2021
On Friday morning, anticipating the consultation with the vet later in the day, I did an Emotion Code session—one for myself and one for her. For mine, I asked, “Is there a trapped emotion I can release right now so that I can better support Maggie in her final days?” I released sadness, helplessness, heartache, lack of control, grief, and dread.
During Maggie’s Emotion Code session, I asked, “Is there a trapped emotion Maggie can release right now to be calmer and more at peace?” She released fear, depression, lack of control, fear again, and helplessness.
Then I sent healing energy to support her healing and these emotional releases. Immediately the same scene emerged in my mind’s eye.
This time, the white doves were sitting beside and around Maggie in clusters of 2 and 3.
There was a hummingbird hovering, floating above her head.
The eagle was there too, with its wings spread wide next to her again, almost cradling her.
Again the ancient mothers & healers were supporting me and her with energy healing, amplifying and extending the Divine energy—as if to neutralize my sorrow in that moment and add strength and support.
Then a host of white butterflies appeared, beautifully and gently swirling and floating around Maggie.
Throughout the day, while not 100% sure if this would be her last day with us, we were savoring every moment with Maggie, filling each moment with gratitude for her life and companionship. We took her out every couple of hours, but even so, she still had an accident that required a bath. Though she was nervous, as she always was with baths, we bathed her gently and lovingly, knowing it might be her last.
It was a painful day of waiting. As the day progressed, we had a deep inkling—maybe even a knowing—that it was likely going to be her time. But we were still holding onto a spark of hope that we might get more time with her.
As I was sitting on the bed beside her an hour before the appointment, I closed my eyes and rested. Almost immediately the same scene appeared again in my mind’s eye.
Everyone was there. The hummingbird, the eagle, the white doves, the white butterflies, the ancient mothers & healers. There was a golden white light gently surrounding and enveloping all of us.
They said, “We are here with her. We are ready to support her and be with her as she transitions. We will comfort her and help her feel safe and be at peace.”
I knew this beautiful vision, these symbols, and these messages were for her and for me, to support us both and bring us both comfort in her final days. I knew in my depths that she was supported and was at peace. I knew that these messages would ring true whether today was her day or days, weeks, or months from now.
Later that evening, with deep ache, sorrow, and many tears, we said goodbye to sweet Maggie Mags. She went peacefully. We buried her in the backyard and planted a beautiful new flower in her memory—a pink Astilbe, which will bloom every year—as a symbol of our lasting love.
We are grateful that she chose us, and that the Universe brought us together to share in our journey together. She was the sweetest girl, full of love and joy and a gentleness that was a treasure for our home and family. Every moment with Maggie was a gift. Thank you, sweet Maggie for your life, your love, and your companionship. We will miss you every day.
