Letting go...

My work this past weekend in breathwork was to truly let go of an old story in my life.

What I know to be true about stories in my own life and my witnessing of women beginning the journey to unravel their own, is there are many layers.

I’m in the work right now of letting go. Letting go of needing to be responsible for anyone else’s experience or feelings. Not to not care about their feelings! No, I care deeply. Just not to take responsibility for their feelings. Such a huge difference.

We are all as humans experiencing our emotions and learning the lessons we came here to learn and healing the wounds we are called to heal and passing that healing on to others.

If I try to control, take over, take responsibility for or try to save someone from what they might feel, am I not stepping in front of God?

As I mom I feel this often. When my greatest fears come out in my dreams and in the dream I rush to save my child from the outcome of what they are experiencing, I know I need to drop in and see where this might be happening in my life.

The truth is my children, your children, the ones we love most deeply, are all having their own life experience. I, we, are there to love, guide, and allow them to be who they are. Not to save them from it.

And yes, as a parent, we desire to protect our children. We are given the great assignment of creating a safe environment for them to grow. Just as a seed is planted in the soil, we are given the task to water, make sure the seed has nourishment, love that seed, and witness that seed. As it peeks out of the earth, finds its pull towards the sun, and grows. We are the witnesses, the givers of love, the wisdom keepers, the teachers and the guides to these beloveds.

And each child has their light. The light they came into the world to shine.

You have a light you were given to shine.

A Course in Miracles says, “Our task is not to find our truth, but to seek out what is false. No one can fail who asks for the truth.”

Today I’m choosing to seek out what is false and release it.

I am safe to let go. I am free to let go.

What are you feeling called to let go of today?

Declare it to the universe!

May it be so!
