LettingGo – Page 10

In recent weeks I’ve had the opportunity to look at fear. It’s not that difficult in this economy as so many people are afraid of losing their jobs, homes, businesses. There is fear of the unknown, fear of making the wrong decision, fear of being alone, fear of being IN a relationship, fear of change… One can even be afraid of success! I’m sure you get the idea. Many people don’t even know they are living with and focusing on fear. I know and have read many very capable, SELF AWARE people who in some area of thier life, are living from a place of fear and they don’t even realise it.

You could be in toxic relationship for fear of being alone. Stay in the same job you hate out of fear you can’t create a new opportunity. You might not allow a relationship to flourish or take a step (make a change) toward something (or someone) as it’s SAFER to continue on the same path. You might be afraid to venture out to a new place, discover a wonderful new activity or meet new people and make NEW beautiful friends.

If the sun was afraid of the storms, we wouldn’t have rainbows! If the rainbow was afraid of the clouds it wouldn’t shine it’s multitude of light prisms arched along the sky, proud and colorful! OK that’s a stretch but think about it for a moment…Who knows better than YOU what’s right for YOU? What step would you like to take that might be controlled by some underlying fear? Is there something you’d like to create but are afraid it (or YOU) will be rejected or might, dare I say, fail? Could there be a time in your life when you got hurt and there’s a fear that if you take a particular step it might happen again? What would you do if you actually succeeded in the thing you desire most? Think for a moment about what it is your heart truly desires and notice if any fear about it comes up. Sometimes I sense a little voice that says “oh, you can’t do THAT!”

In his inaugural speech FDR said “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” I don’t know about you but I find truth in these words. When you are in fear you retreat or hide and in many ways it can stop your growth or colour your decisions.

So what is this thing called fear anyway? Fear is an ENERGY! I suppose I should begin by mentioning that there IS fear related to REAL danger with regards to your survival. It’s the picture that says “RUN! THE LION CHASING YOU IS GOING TO EAT YOU!” Now that kind of fear sets you to running. It is your body’s natural fight or flight response and rightly so…it’s called survival! However since you aren’t going to get eaten by a lion in the near future, at least one would hope not, I’m talking about the ENERGY of fear. The interesting thing is that the energy of fear can produce the same reaction!

In a clairvoyant reading I see the energy of fear as a reaction to some already present form of invalidation, programming or pain you haven’t let go of. It can even be SOMEONE ELSE’S ENERGY (fear) IN YOUR SPACE. The “why is it there” is completely different for each individual as each person is not working on the same thing BUT the bottom line is; When these pictures or energies are stimulated, fear takes over and they can become your TRUTH and get in the way of your decisions. Fear pictures challenge your SAFETY and ability to TRUST yourself! You might find yourself running for your life or unable to “advance” as a wise FDR once said.

At this point you may be asking “so what do I do about it?” You can CLEAR IT! 🙂 I teach a wonderful meditation technique called grounding. It is a simple yet powerful tool for clearing energy. Grounding makes the body SAFE and when your body feels safe you can begin to release and clear all that is not YOU. If you are not familiar with grounding, creating intent and focus on clearing while in meditation can work as well. Then fill up and vibrate your entire being with what it is YOU want! Once you’ve cleared, you have the space to TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH (in yourself) and move forward again!

When you are grounded, you are not only SAFE you are able to clear. When you clear you can then begin to vibrate more in alignment with who you are and your own truth. As you move forward again, you begin to TRUST yourself more and more! The more trust in your ability to create your hearts desire the closer you will be to receiving what you want! Allow your own, personal rainbow of light to shine through the clouds:-) FEAR NOT! “THE ONLY THING TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF!”

If you would like a reading to help you clear or would like more information on clairvoyant readings, you are welcome to visit my website at http://www.Spiritlightinsight.com. In the near future, I’m considering a teleseminar meditation workshop on clearing fear. If you are interested in this type of workshop, please send me an email. http://www.Debra@Spiritlightinsight.com.

Letting Go

I’m calling this post Lessons from the souls. You’ll see why as you read! It’s about letting go. 🙂 In several of my clairvoyant readings I’ve noticed how what we hold on to can get in the way of bringing in what we really want in our lives. I see this and hear it from people every day. Before I begin my story, I’ll just ask you to think about a few things….Have you ever held on to something well past its usefulness? This can be a thing, an energy, a thought, a person, a relationship or even lie that you’ve held on to for so long that it became a truth. Think about it. I’ll bet there’s something you can think of! Now I’ll tell you about an experience I had that goes directly to the point…and it’s literally what I’ve learned from my souls!

I am a runner training for a 1/2 marathon. Bet you didn’t see that coming! Read on 🙂 You may not know that you need to change your running shoes at about 500 miles or every 6 months give or take. Due to economic circumstances (or perhaps not as you’ll see) I’ve been unable (or for some reason unwilling) to purchase a new pair and have been running in the same shoes since last December. They have about 1000 miles on them, no support, no cushion…in effect, they are ‘dead’. I’ve worn them long past their point of being useful. For the last few weeks when I would get up to run I found myself in total resistance to running. Probably due to having been in physical pain every time ran in those shoes. The pain wasn’t only during the run but afterwards for another day! Since my race is coming up in early August, last weekend I was facing a 12 mile run and just could NOT run in my old running shoes. I made a decision to run in another pair of athletic shoes that are much too heavy and bulky for a long run, yet very stable with good support. I knew my legs would tire faster but I was determined to complete my training run. In essence, I needed to let go of my old running shoes, take a leap of faith and hope for the best!

I began to run and I immediately noticed NO PAIN! As I continued I started to think about why I hadn’t let go of the other shoes. It dawned on me that they were a gift from someone very dear to my heart. Someone who is still very dear to my heart but no longer in my life in the same way as when he gave me the gift. I realized that I was still holding on to the pain of the relationship along with those shoes. I knew I needed to let go.

As I allowed myself to let go a wonderful thing happened. I began to notice the beauty of the sun shining on the lake, I took a different running route and discovered a butterfly and bird sanctuary, newly (spring) planted prairie grass, the sun shining through the trees! I realized that in all my previous long runs, always taking the same route, I hadn’t noticed any of it!

Later on that day I also took a new direction and instead of going to the local running store to get my shoes, checked another store that is not known for selling running shoes. I had to laugh! Not only did they have my shoes but THEY WERE ON SALE and so discounted that I bought 2 pair! By letting go I now had the space to go in a new direction and bring those other things into my awareness instead being in physical pain from running or the emotional pain from a relationship that had changed. I literally learned from my souls how holding on to pain can effect everything you do!

Perhaps while reading my story you were also thinking about something you are going through in your life. Something you are not letting go of or holding on to well past it’s point of usefulness. It could be an old energy, painful memory, circumstance, an old or current relationship, or possibly even grief. If what you are holding on for whatever the reason no longer brings you joy, you are not learning, growing and creating ….Whatever it is it may be the perfect time to LET IT GO! Honor what you learned from the experience. You can’t change the past but you CAN let go and create the space to bring something new and wonderful into your awareness and your life!
