For all the Mother’s and Goddesses, this is our special month. May we all rejoice in our femininity and celebrate our womanhood/sisterhood. Happy Mother’s Day to us all. Last month I shared the fact that I moved and now there seems to be a new realization…how much stuff I have accumulated over the years. It is amazing the "things" I thought I wanted or quote, needed in my life. In fact, many of the items acquired are out-of-sight collecting dust…so much for the need! There is a lesson here and for all intents and purposes, in this case, it has to do with growth. When we can let go of something that no longer serves or uplifts us, whether it be a material object, a person or a thought, then we have come one step closer to detachment. In some way being detached, for me, simply means to be free from judgement. No longer being held back because of a limiting thought or being a caretaker of material possession is quite liberating. Can you imagine how freeing it is being in nuetral, when you are unattached to outcomes, possessions or thoughts? This doesn’t mean you are not responsible for your thoughts, it’s just that there are no judgements and you simply are…you exist in the moment. It also says, the more we let go, without reservation, life becomes less restricting and I believe there is the underlying energy of Spirit asking us to trust and have faith that all our needs will be met. It’s not always easy to let go of that rope of materialism and I don’t believe we are being asked to give up our "creature comforts" — only our attachment to them. Every now and again I get glimpes of that nuetral zone and it is amazing how stress free it is. There is less clutter of not only my environment but of my mind and life as a whole. I invite you to look around your home, your mind and see what is locking you into a prison of limitation. Whether it be possessions or the thoughts you hold, through detachment we can experience life to it’s fullest. We hold the key to freedom, now do we have the courage to risk it all and trust in ourselves, the universe and God/Goddess, All That Is? In closing, as I watched "Touched by an Angel" on April 30th my heart heard the message…if we hold on to anything that brings us pain, sorrow or unhappiness the energy spreads and affects everything in our world. As Monica became an "enraged" Angel, due to the reaction of another, unimagined chain of events happened to many people just because of one moment of anger. We all can hold on to the hate and prejudice, to what is mine and our world will continue on a downward spiral. Or, we can free our minds, our lives by letting go of our attachments and thus recognizing our power to love unconditionally in the moment. Happy May… Take Care |
