Once upon a time is now
11/11/11 – A powerful day of unity, healing and clear intentions.
Take a few moments today to reflect upon the pain you’re still holding on to: past hurts, disappointments, resentments and fears may all come to surface now, along with the truth and real colours of certain relationships.
Allow them to be, accept they are there and then let them go. You could try writing all this down and burning or tearing the paper outdoors, creating a powerfully symbolic gesture of release.
Acceptance and forgiveness mean liberating ourselves from what no longer serves us. It’s not about condoning violence, unlawful acts or cruelty, but rather unhooking from things, people and events that may have caused us to live in fear, anger and distress. If this feels very difficult, get some support around you – today is the beginning of a new way of being authentic and creating genuine connections to our fellow human beings.
We are now learning to realise that we are free, and with freedom comes personal and collective responsibility.
Then, spend a few moments clarifying your intentions for the future, using present tense. Allow yourself the love, support, abundance, health and healing. Notice any resistance that may surface, and meet it with compassion. Again, writing things down will boost your creative energy.
Once upon a time and happily ever after are here and now.
Who said pigs don’t fly?
A very nice post. People keep pondering over their past and spend more time regretting it rather than considering that life is a gift, and all things that were, are and will be, are temporary. ‘If we can’t laugh over the same joke again and again; why do we cry over the same thought?’ Thank you for sharing. Cheers!
Thank you, Yatin. It is true that regret can be our worst enemy and we fail to realise the opportunities that arise from challenges. Happy weekend!
