Letting Go - By Reverend Michelle Noble
Recently the issue of letting go came up during a healing and a discussion with different people.
This made me think- why is letting go something that so many people talk about? What’s it about? Why is it important?
This is the reflection that answered my question for me. From psychic readings and healing, we all know that we are energy beings. In our multi-layered aura, others can read the major events that have occurred in our lives and read the energy that is stored here.
Some energy is quick and transient- a flash of anger, a ‘ray’ of happiness, a moment of joy. Other energy becomes harder, stagnant and more permanent- like blocks or stagnant smudges in our aura. This energy affects our overall vibration and reflects negative experiences we are hanging on to and negative beliefs we hold about ourselves.
How does this happen? Children don’t store negative stuff. They are naughty, they forget (so they can do it again). Some adults hold on to their anger and their blame, trying to make kids feel ashamed.
Animals don’t hold negative stuff- they are ready to love us immediately after they have been in trouble.
Do we, as adults, let go as easily? No. Why not? What is it we need to let go of and how did it come to be there in the first place?
I propose there are a range of feelings and beliefs that
create energy blocks in our aura and stop the light and love from filling our lives. Often they are the end game, the outcome of an initial fleeting response, that has been allowed to take root like a noxious weed:
Resentment- the end-product of anger, disappointment and blame. Hanging on to not allowing another person the freedom to be who they are or do what they choose.
Guilt- the end product of self- criticism, self- attack,
feeling unworthy. It’s like a slow form of self- abuse because we refuse to allow ourselves pardon. In fact, we pardon everyone else but not ourselves. This dims our light.
Unworthiness- the end game of punishment for not meeting other people’s expectations, worrying we have not done or been good enough.
How do we get to this state, where these energy blocks clog and cripple us?
We weren’t born that way: The I am (all that is) never
brought me into this world with a label pinned to my heart that said, ‘I am not good enough… I am unworthy… I am useless and so on. The I AM from which I came just said, ‘I am LOVE. I am Light.’
Others do the rest when we are too young to protect
ourselves from it, and then later, we do the rest by allowing them access to us- by opening our energy systems like bank vaults and saying, ‘You have some crap you need to give someone. I’m open. Deposit it here. Why not? Everyone else does?’
Why not?
Because it’s not our stuff.
When someone says, ‘You are…..’ anything negative… the invisible ink behind that statement says, ‘I want’ or ‘I need’. You don’t get to see that ink, but you have to know it’s there. Negative attacks only come from someone else’s inability to accept personal responsibility for THEIR LIVES. ‘You are,’ means, ‘I want’ or ‘I need’. It is all about control- theirs- and they want to take it.
It’s all their stuff.
‘You are lazy,’ means, ‘I want you to do this for me and you aren’t doing what I want.’
‘You’re stupid’ means, ‘I want you to agree with me and I’m determined to force you to agree with me. I can’t make you understand what I’m trying to say and I can’t admit I’m wrong.’
‘You’re hopeless,’ means, ‘I want you to do this my way and you won’t. I’m frustrated. I’m not prepared to consider anyone else might have a valid point of view.’
‘You’re annoying me, ‘ means ‘ I’m not game to ask for what I really want and it’s your fault’.
And finally…
‘You deserved it,’ means ‘I’m going to punish you for not doing what I wanted.’
These statements can be worked further to reveal the pain and vulnerability of the person making the attack, but it is no reason to accept the accusations. Remember, the accusation is a lie. The responsibility
for honestly communicating their needs lies with them and not with you. You have responsibility for only your life and how you create everything in it- your experiences and your relationships.
How do we let go and
why should we?
We should, because of the nature of this life, our world and energy. There is a magnetic attraction or energy field that surrounds everything. What we do not clear this time, may well come back to be cleared next time.
Letting go of harmful or stale stuff also allows a higher
vibration into our aura and actually assists our consciousness to evolve. Light can’t shine easily into a dirty glass.
We let go by choosing our life- by choosing to be
responsible for what we allow and keep. Anything can pass through if we are conscious and aware in each moment- and ultimately, it is who we apply the
cosmic glue that allows lower energy to stay with us.
As a child, we may not have had as much choice or
understanding as we now do. But it is not too late. You can decide right now, tonight, to free yourself of what is holding you back because is a lie. Remember- you are a child of God and in perfection you were born. Don’t let
anyone else tell you otherwise. |
