I found a six-foot snakeskin
in my back yard one day. It was fabulous. It contained the
entire head, an opening for the mouth, sockets for the eyes
and continued down to the tip of the tail. I thought, "Wow,
what a perfect metaphor for what we've all been experiencing
lately."
How many people do you know who are in the
process of moving?
They either just moved,
are moving now, or are about to?" I know an amazing
number of people going through this process. And I'm fascinated
by how many in my network of friends are moving to Sedona,
Arizona. And how many others are feeling the pull to the
Northwestern U.S. Looking down from above, its like this
big game board where the game pieces (in this case people)
are being moved around.
What is one of the great benefits of moving?
You get to go through all
your stuff and throw out the things you no longer need.
You get to let go of the past.
We've done that at our
house without actually moving. We completely switch the
contents in four separately rooms. We moved the office,
the library and two bedrooms to different parts of the house.
We've thrown out all sorts of things. We've totally switched
much of our art work.
It feels like it's really time to completely
let go of the past once again. I threw out tons of clothes.
I still really liked some of them. It just felt like it
was old energy and it needed to be released.
Raven just had his birthday. One of the
gifts I gave him was a forest green sweater. I was pretty
sure he would like it because he wears that color alot.
When I gave it to him he asked me if it came in other colors.
He said, "I have a lot of stuff in that color and I
want to wear more dark blue right now." So we exchanged
the sweater. I'm finding myself drawn to completely different
colors as well.
It's not just the physical environment,
or even location, that needs to change in order to let go
of the past.
Sometimes you have to cut
off your hair in order to rid yourself of the old energy
held in those cells.
Clean, rearrange, throw
out, give away. Heal the past by letting it go.
One of the things I teach
in Manifesting Your Beloved is in order to make room for
a new relationship, sometimes you have to get rid of all
evidence and memories of the old one.
Even if you don't consciously
think of that person when you see the stuff, subconsciously
you do. It creates sadness, or anger, or a longing for "if
only." There is no room for the romance of your life
to come in when you have that going on.
Letting go of the stuff
is simply a tangible metaphor for letting go of the limitations
you've been holding onto for far too long. Its time to work
with flower essences, Reiki, and other vibrational healing
tools to surface and heal the core issues you still hold
- and that still have a hold of you.
It is time to spend time in nature,
in meditation, in silence and truly heal the past and let
it go.
