Letting Go

The eclipse season has seemed to shine a mammoth sized floodlight on the concept of Letting Go and loosing expectations with the ones we love.  As this concept inevitably arises in life we tend to panic and project deeply-seeded unconscious fears onto the other person, when in reality we should be accepting and supportive of their needs.  The choices people make may not make us happy but that does not mean they are making poor choices.  Every human being has the right to their own journey.

Often times we begin to judge or interject with our life-earned wisdom, but if we are being honest we understand that wisdom came from traveling our own road.  So why is it that we feel driven to interfere with that same process for someone else?  The answer is control.  Our ego's desire to have what we 'want' is so great and any threat activates our most primal inner fears convincing us we are flawed, rejected, abandoned and damaged.  It is the illusion of the ego only.

What if we try something different. What if we walk head first into our fears and embrace them.  Instead of allowing our unconscious fear to run our lives we decide to consciously let go of all expectation and trust that the Universe has a plan.   By letting go and supporting others on their journey we just might find that we welcome a whole new wealth of experience and freedom into our own lives as well as the people we love.

Let me know how it goes.

Living With Faith

Living with faith in life does not mean that if we pray really hard we will get our desired outcome as we want it to be.  Rather if we follow the current of life that is unfolding in front of us moment by moment; making the best decisions within these moments, all the while being clear about our intentions for the highest good... then we are living with faith.  By loosing the fight, expectations and control we find ourselves where we need to be much faster.

In order to live with faith, being aware and conscious of the 'bigger picture' and the plan the Universe has for us is necessary first step.  But what if nothing in our life is supporting what we think we want, it can make it very difficult to see beyond the current circumstance to the bigger picture necessary to accomplish step one.   Recognize this challenge. Ask yourself how many times in your life you have repeated this pattern. Then when you are convinced that you have repeated this familiar patter enough, try something different.

Recognize fear for what it is. Trust that all previous attempts at controlling outcomes have failed so this is your moment to exercise a new option... Faith despite fear.   Let go of your expectations for the past or future that you have been clinging to and trust that the Universe has a plan for you. Let me know how it goes.
