Your Rainbow One’s Legacy

This is a meaningful experience for sharing your loved one’s legacy more consciously and abundantly.

Give yourself permission to not just go through the motions. Allow yourself to truly feel this experience as deeply as you can. If you have photos or videos of your loved one, looking at them may help you connect more fully with the qualities you cherished in them.

The main idea of this exercise is to realize that the happiness you felt with your loved one didn’t come solely from them. Instead, they reflected back to you who you really are and the happiness that exists within you.

Be open to this idea. It might seem like they were the source of your joy and peace, but if you can let go and remain open, you will discover that everything you need and want in life is already within you. Let’s explore this together.

The Bravest Thing We’ll Ever Do Is Claim Our Greatness

You’re about to experience something truly powerful—an invitation to recognize that the qualities you most adored in your Rainbow One… were always yours too.

We humans are funny creatures.

It’s often so hard to see our own gifts, our own goodness, our own greatness. But when we love someone—especially a beloved pet—we can see theirs so clearly.

This experience is here to gently help you realize: you couldn’t have seen it in them… if it wasn’t already alive in you.

Whether you do this once or revisit it again and again with different qualities or different loved ones, this simple yet sacred practice can help you reclaim the light you thought you lost—and the parts of yourself that may still be waiting to be loved and seen.

Why Positive Projection Works

Projection gets a bad rap. But positive projection is a real thing.

It’s a spiritual and psychological truth that you can’t see something clearly in someone else unless it also lives inside you.

So when you think about your pet—their loyalty, courage, gentleness, joy—this exercise will help you trace that love back to its source.

It’s never been outside you.

You’re the one who loved that quality.

You’re the one who recognized it.

You’re the one who feels it so strongly.

That’s because it’s a part of your own spiritual blueprint. It’s yours.

And this process will help you claim it.

Estimated Time Required:

30 – 60 minutes

You Will Need:

Your Self-Healing Book. Writing down your answers to all questions below will support you in gaining greater awareness and experience.
If you’ve set up your Self-Healing Sanctuary from Week 1 [Experience] Book & Space great. If not just do this wherever you can relax and disconnect from the world. </aside>

Set a Clear Healing Intention
1. Write down a clear intention for this healing experience with your Rainbow One.
2. Be sure to include the phrase “for the Highest Good.” This helps guide your consciousness toward healing.
Think of your Rainbow One
1. Take a little time to allow yourself to connect as deeply as you can with your loved one, and to any feelings you have now, or have been experiencing.
2. Vulnerably, and courageously let yourself connect to your loved one and experience them as fully as you can.
3. You might like to look at photos, or videos. But give yourself some time to genuinely reconnect with the love, admiration and awe you have for them.
Write Down Your Loved One’s Qualities
1. Allow yourself to reflect on, and write down, the top 3 or more qualities you have. You might end up with a dozen! That’s ok. But make sure you write down at least 3.
2. Go with whatever quality pops into your mind easily and effortlessly. Just be aware of how you would describe them without thinking too hard about it?
3. For example, when I did this experience with Ellie: Sassy, Bold, Determined, Brave, Beautiful, Perfect, Goofy, Champion, Tenacious (9)
4. There may be qualities that are very similar, that for the next step, you’ll want to group together. For my example: Sassy & Bold, Determined & Tenacious, Brave & Champion, Beautiful & Perfect, Goofy (5) Note: The word champion is obviously a noun, and not a ‘quality’ or an ‘adjective’, but for me, it carries and energy and a truth that is important for me to list as one of Ellie’s qualities. There isn’t another word that feels and works the same way. So trust the words that pop into your mind and heart.
Describe How They Lived Each Quality
1. Write down the qualities again, one by one, and in as much detail as you can, share about how your loved one epitomized and lived these qualities. Share as little or as much as you’d like.
2. For example: Sassy & Bold – Ellie did what she wanted. She never held back expressing how she felt. She was big energy, and you knew exactly how she felt and what she wanted to do. She was just so much energy, so much Light, so much brightness for life. She was not scared to growl at me when she didn’t feel safe. She was bold and honest in asking for the space and time she needed. Determined & Tenacious – Ellie tried harder than any other being I’ve ever met. She would just keep trying to get up, even though she’d fallen over so many times. And in her last few weeks, when she couldn’t get up at all, she would still work so hard to try and scoot and get around. Even though she wasn’t able to achieve and move the way she wanted, she EVER gave up. She just kept on going. She never took no for an answer. She was infinite and unlimited energy for living and growing. Even though we now know she was in so much pain and anxiety, she never let that stop her. Brave & Champion – She was just a winner. She dove into every experience. Even though she was blind, she would try to dive off the bed, always exploring, always confident and courageous. She was unbridled love for life. She was just a champion. A winner. The brightest, most brilliant Light. Beautiful & Perfect – She was so beautiful and perfect. Her perfect little face and colorings and markings were just all so perfect. Her perfect little paws with her perfect little pads were so smooth and delicate. Her ears were so silky and velvety and big and adorable. Every square inch of her was perfect, and so beautiful. Goofy – OMG she was a goofball!!!!!!! She didn’t care if she fell over. She didn’t care how she looked. She just wanted to live life with full abandon. She was a free Spirit, without a serious bone in her body. She was pure joy, pure fun, pure life of the party.
Now Claim How You Also Live Each Quality
1. Again, write down each quality, but this time you’re going to describe how YOU epitomize and live each quality.
2. If your inner critic pops up with “You don’t!”—gently thank it for its opinion and keep going. Simply be curious, and let yourself start with the smallest possible way you could see that you have this quality in you. And yes, you will probably be able to find ways in which you do NOT have this quality AT TIMES, but I bet you 1 trillion dollars that you can ALSO find ways and moments in which you do live with this quality.
3. Share as little or as much as you like. But really do your best to claim that quality as fully as you can.
4. For example: Sassy & Bold – I boldly share my feelings and my vulnerability, even when it’s uncomfortable. I do care so much about dogs, and about healing, and I boldly live my truth even when it’s not a popular point of view. Determined & Tenacious – I don’t give up either. I might stay down and flail and feel very hopeless and pathetic sometimes, but I don’t give up when something’s important to me. Brave & Champion – I guess I am a winner too. I am a champion. I have overcome so many truly crazy things in this life. I am so courageous for getting through so much adversity. Beautiful & Perfect – I am perfect as I am. I am a perfect beautiful expression of life. I don’t need to change anything about who I am. I am perfectly lovely. Goofy – OMG yes I’m goofy. I love to take life lightly and play all the time.
Your Opportunities to Live Your Loved One’s Legacy
1. Open to the simple idea, that your loved one came to teach and support you in expanding into the qualities you wrote down. Consider that they came into your life, specifically, to help you find, nurture and grow that quality inside of you.
2. Write down each quality again, and write down all the opportunities you have in your life, for expanding and growing more fully into expressing and living this quality.
3. For example: Sassy & Bold – OMG this is huge for me. I needed to hear this right now. I find it hard to share my truth when it’s uncomfortable for others to hear, and I want to be much more honest and authentic about this moving forward. I want to be me. All of me. I don’t want to be afraid to be the big brave Light that I am. I want to shine as brightly as I can. I want to be all of me, even if it’s not popular with others. I can do it. Determined & Tenacious – I want to keep being more and more determined like Ellie. I want to live like she did. I want to never give up, even though all the odds were so stacked against her. And sometimes it feels like the odds are stacked so intensely against me too. I want to remember her, and the way she just would never give up. It’s like she didn’t even know what giving up was. I want to live my life that way too. Brave & Champion – I want to feel more like a winner. And acknowledge my courage more. I can look back on my life as see I’m brave, but I don’t always feel brave. I want to feel brave moving forward, and I know Ellie is helping me with this already. Beautiful & Perfect – I want to experience that me and all of my life is perfect as it is. And that I’m beautiful and lovely, just as I am. I don’t need to change. I’m okay. Goofy – Yep this is key for me. I want to be more playful and free with the people I love most in my life. I want to dance and play around with my husband. I want to feel freer and more relaxed with my extended family and friends. I want to take myself a lot less seriously. I want more fun and play. And I know Ellie is helping me do this.
Now write your Rainbow One a thank-you letter: Don’t hold back. Know that they will feel every kind word and every ounce of love you have for them as you share.
1. You can write this your way, but the heart of this letter is to say and FEEL thank you, for all your Rainbow One taught and gave you.
And finally, it’s time to receive what your Rainbow One wants to say to you: Let yourself feel and embody the essence of your Rainbow One and write a letter from them to you.
1. Write this however you want, but be brave and allow yourself to make it up in some way. Trust that you DO know what they would say to you. This isn’t about channeling it’s about feeling their loving essence so fully, together with feeling and honoring all their qualities and gifts, and allowing that energy to share with you.
Complete this process with love and gratitude: Say goodbye to your Rainbow One for right now.
1. Take a moment now to place your hand on your heart and say silently to your Rainbow One: “Thank you, [Your Rainbow One’s Name]. Thank you for showing me who I really am. Keep showing me. Keep guiding me. Thank you and I love you.”
Thank and Reward Yourself Thank yourself for having the courage to dive in so deeply. Genuinely say ‘thank you’ to yourself for completing this experience, and ask yourself what reward would feel self-honoring and empowering?! And now go treat yourself with what feels supportive and celebratory.
