I’ve been using my meditation time lately to focus on release work. I imagine circuits attaching to old wounds and pains that are splitting my spirit’s energy away from the present and I ask for the grace to accept the completion of the pain. I call my spirit back to me.
I ‘ve focused on old friendships, addiction, physical and emotional pains, control issues, anger, judgement of myself and others, past struggles with acceptance and trust. In all of these, there is an opportunity to grow and to heal.
Nothing gives us permission to use our wounds to justify our bad behavior. When the life raft crosses the river, we must get off on the other side. I release my past and step off on the shore. Let go and life changes. I am not afraid. I forgive myself and anyone who has injured me, intentional or otherwise. The past can’t come with me into the future. I let go!
Here’s a prayer that helps me. God, thank you for intervening on my behalf when situations take my attention off the prize. Thank you for sending angels to cushion the fall when I stumble. Help me to know, beyond human doubt, that You are with me and that no day is too dark with love. I humbly accept your help in my life and in this very moment. Please lift me up above the fray and show me the way out of the dark.
