"To awaken to your true nature, who you really are,  simply 'let go' of all the stories and 'be' right now."  -- www.personaltransformation.com What story do you need to LET GO so that you can BE right now? What story do you need to LET GO so that you can embrace what comes next?  Spend some time meditating on your "story" and what parts of it are ready to be released. Then release it into the Violet Flame (or with some other ritual of your choice) and LET IT GO! 

"Be grateful  for all the challenging people  in your life --  bosses, co-workers, in-laws,  children, friends --  because they're  your greatest teachers.  These relationships are difficult  precisely because of  your resistance to the lesson,  which might be about compassion,  self-worth, generosity,  or unconditional love."   -- Amara Rose This week I am reading the prosperity classic, " The Game of Life and How To Play It ," by Florence Scovel Shinn and there are some great reminders in the book. One, in particular, relative to our work this week with RELEASING.  Here is the affirmation:  "I cast this burden of resentment on the Christ within,   and I go free, to be loving, harmonious and happy." Is there someone on whom you have heaped your resentment over the past few days, weeks, or even years? Let it go by repeating this mantra whenever you think of this person. Allow you...

"What is the story you need to let go of so that you can step into the story that is waiting just for you?"        -- Gloria Burgess, PhD, Jazz INC When I did my own RELEASING meditation, what came to me was the word CONTROL. I need to let go of CONTROL over all aspects of my life. I need to "let go and let God." This may sound crazy or even fundamentalist, but if you sit back and truly think about it what can we control in this life? Pretty much NOTHING. So why not admit that and live from that reality instead of spending so much time and effort trying to control that which I cannot control anyway? The physical manifestation of RELEASING, for me, is taking a deep breath. When I take a really deep breath and let it all out in one long AH-H-H ....I feel the sensation of letting go and it is  such a relief . I am no longer pretending that I have it all together, that I have all the answers, that I am in control. I am rel...

"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive.  He who is devoid of the power to forgive  is devoid of the power to love."   -- Martin Luther King, Jr.  As I mentioned yesterday, RELEASING can take many forms, and one form is forgiveness . Who do you need to forgive in order to move forward in your life?  Try using the Violet Flame Meditation today for forgiveness. As you ask that the Violet Flame be sent from the center of the Earth, place an image of the person you need to forgive in your heart chakra. Allow the Violet Flame to burn away any hurt, any resentment, any attachment, any negative energy you may feel. Release and let it go.  If you find that you want to do more forgiveness work, click here for Day 1 of my 30 Days of Forgiveness challenge from 2014 or above on the word forgiveness for the 2015 challenge. 

"It is not what we carry with us, but what we let go that defines us." -- Charlie Crews , " Life ," S2 E9 The focus for this week (Week 3) is on RELEASING.  Releasing can take many forms: letting go of something that is not working, moving on from a relationship that no longer feeds us, forgiving someone who has hurt us, detoxifying our bodies and minds from that which we consume that somehow damages us, etc.  One of my favorite tools for releasing is The Violet Flame Meditation. If you are a long-time reader you have almost surely heard me talk about this before. It is one of my favorite tools for forgiveness and is also great for RELEASING. In fact, I have a whole page on my website devoted to it . If you would like to learn more about this meditation, I encourage you to check it out.  Or, if you just want to give it a try, follow the instructions below:  Think of one thing that you would like to work on releasing and use the Violet Flame to h...
