Release - It Sounds So Easy

Letting go of old beliefs, old mental constructs, old identities, old patterns of thinking and behaving and allowing the wholeness and truth and beauty of Life to wash over us can create miracles and magic in our lives. It sounds so easy, doesn’t it? Letting go. We may even intellectually understand that when we 'let go' of the old, we create an opening for something new.

Release. Relax. Open up. Go with the flow. Breathe. Yes, it sounds easy and sometimes it might feel to us that we might fall to our death if we let go of what we’ve been holding onto so tightly for years. It sounds easy and yet we resist those ideas and we have a tendency to cling to the familiar, to argue for our limitations, to give excuses, and to fight to remain the same.

Maybe one of the things we can release and let go of this year are the boxes we put ourselves in. How do we identify ourselves? I'm a Virgo so that means I'm analytical and the clothes in my closet are organized by color. I'm an introvert so that means that I am extremely uncomfortable networking. I'm super-busy so that means I don't have too much excess time to simply hang out, play, and have fun. 

These are just three examples and there are dozens (if not hundreds) more. What if none of those 'I am' statements are true? What if they are just made up but I keep them active by repeating them over and over and looking for physical and external evidence that they are true? How is that helping me to let go, surrender, and open up to the real Truth: God is, I am, and so it is? [hint: it isn't helping]

What box can you release yourself from
?


Wisdom from Ernest Holmes
If we would take time, once a day at least, to let go of all that is not true...doubt, distrust, worry, condemnation and fear, and lay hold of Life in Its expressions of beauty, truth and wholeness...we would be healed.”
