"THE JOY OF LETTING GO"

good morning everyone!

 

As I stated in my last post, it is very difficult at times to let go and let God work.  We desperately want to hold on tenaciously to our own problems or uncertainties, and deal with them in our own way.  We often fail to remember that God may have a higher or better purpose or greater solution, and it is only by turning our difficulties over to God, that we will find out what this purpose is.

 

Rather than thinking of letting go as a struggle and something you just don't want to do, recognize it as the joy that it can be for you!  By letting go and turning everything over to God / Goddess / Spirit, you release the burden and allow it to fall from your shoulders.  Drink in the feeling that sweet release brings you.  You no longer need to fear that the situation won't be taken care of, for it is now completely in God's loving hands, and God will handle everything perfectly and in Divine timing.

 

Here is a wonderful little meditation exercise that I came up with once in order to release my burdens over to God.  It will only take a few minutes, and it works beautifully.:

 

1.  Make yourself comfortable.  Loosen any tight or restricting clothing, get in a comfortable position, and begin to take slow, deep breaths.  Feel yourself begin to relax.

 

2.  As you continue to take long, deep breaths, see yourself surrounded by a bubble or dome of protective light.  Feel yourself completely safe, completely secure, and deeply loved and deeply relaxed.

 

3.  As you continue to breathe, imagine any number of colorful balloons tied to various parts of your body.  These brightly colored balloons represent any stressful burdens, situations or circumstances that you are holding onto.  Look carefully at these balloons, recognize what each one represents.  How do these burdens make you feel?

 

4.  One by one, ask these burdens if they are ready to be released into God's loving care.  Listen closely to what they tell you.  They may tell you in words, emotions, visions or in some other way that is perfect for you.

 

5.  When you have asked each burden if it is ready to be released, prepare to release those that are ready.  Archangel Michael appears before you with his sword of light.  He is here to help you in releasing your burdens.  When you are ready, ask Archangel Michael to cut the cords that tie the burdens ready for release, to your body.  Feel the relief and joy as they rise into the air and soar towards Heaven!  As they rise, watch the colorful balloons turn into colorful butterflies, which fly gracefully to Heaven, to be lovingly cared for by God.  Thank Archangel Michael for his assistance.

 

6. Recognize how you feel now that some of your burdens have been released.  Do you feel different than you did when you began this exercise?

 

Remember, you may not be willing to release all of your burdens at once, but as time passes, you will feel secure in releasing more and more of them to God's care.  Meanwhile, honor the process, and when you are ready, you will experience the joy of letting go!

 

Namaste!
