The Golden Cord


December 23, 2013

When people call me about lost animals, especially cats, I always recommend that they do the following golden cord exercise. If a cat is alive and not locked in somewhere, it almost always brings them home. It works well with dogs and other pets too.

You can also adapt this visualization to communicate with your animal when you are away, whether you are just at work or across the world. Making this connection will let your animal know that you are thinking of them and can decrease any anxiety they are experiencing about you being gone.

Here’s how you do it. Sit quietly and get in a meditative state. Imagine a golden cord coming out of your heart, going out into the darkness and connecting to your animal. Make a strong connection and really hold your focus. Then pull gently on the cord and tell the animal it’s time to come home, they’re safe and it’s okay to return now. Tell them that they should follow the cord and that your energy is with them to keep them safe. Send a strong visual of your pet following the cord right to your doorstep and coming inside. Tell them that you have a yummy treat waiting, whatever they love the most. The more you can do this from home, the better and quicker the results are.

If your pet is safe at home, and you are the one away, just use the cord like a telephone wire (remember those?) and talk to your pet through the cord. Send loving feelings from your heart to theirs. They will feel it and understand that you are still connected to them and sending love. If you are on vacation, you can tell them each day that you’ll be home in 4 nights, then 3 nights, then 2, etc. When my clients do this while on vacation, their pets are always calm and content when they return.

The golden cord is wonderful tool and you’ll find this description in the resources section of my website. www.MaryGetten.com
