Does it bring you joy, status,
Health and prosperity?
Does it allow you to sleep
Peacefully and deeply?
Does it allow you
To see the gifts of the Universe
Given to you each day?
Dear One, you hold on to fear so tenaciously. Why? Consider how it serves you. Indeed, your physical body fears loud noises and falling. That is an innate fear meant to protect the body. But what about those other fears you carry so deeply? How do they make your life easier?
You are like someone walking up a steep mountain carrying a backpack filled with large stones. Those stones are the fears that you carry. They weigh you down and prevent you from making forward progress.
They tire you out and cause you to stumble and crawl when you can fly. What would happen if you gently laid down those stones, one by one? Can you do a visual meditation that allows you to do just that? Gently letting go of the heaviness each stone brings to you.
Look into that backpack and select a stone. What does it symbolize for you? Fear of lack, loss, or failure? Consider if that fear is justified. Does not a loss allow for something else to enter your life? Does a lack often mask the strength never considered before? Is there a failure in your life? Or is it just a redirection or a challenge to strengthen you?
Dear One, as you choose each stone and reflect upon its meaning to you, also give gratitude. For showing you how far you have come and how you no longer need to carry it with you. Each experience in your life is a catalyst for growth.
Many of you have carried judgment, especially self-judgment, the furthest. Was it something you said or did, or failed to say or do? What was the reason for that action or inaction? Was your intent pure and just misunderstood by another? For, Dear One, you have no control over how another will respond to you.
Were you tired or trying to protect yourself? Did that inner child need the interaction to occur this way due to a past experience? Reflect upon changing that self-judgment to self-compassion. All are wounded souls and the motivation could be as simple as self-care.
Spend time on these reflections and see a life of grace rather than a life of judgment and failure. Have you considered how you may have been the catalyst for another to make a positive change in their life?
Are you beginning to see how carrying these stones causes you needless worry and energy use that can be directed elsewhere? Are you feeling lighter already just considering the possibilities for changing your life?
Understand the paradox that life is simply learning how to love in a life that is so very complex. When you fall on those old fears, stop and ask for another way to approach them.
Water flowing in the same direction will eventually create a smooth hollow in stone for easier movement. So, too, a constant way of viewing your life creates a channel that prevents seeing other perspectives.
This is the time to gently release all that no longer serves you. It will not be done in one meditation, but over time as you gain momentum in seeing yourself and this world in a kinder, gentler light.
The next time you embrace a long-held fear ask yourself if you need it. How has it served you? Is it time to lay it down as you take your next step forward? You can do this. You are ready to do this. You only need support, and Dear One, you have the support of so many loving beings. Here, right now, embracing you and applauding you for your progress.
Question those fears.
Replace judgment with compassion.
Lighten your load
And see how much lighter
Your next step is.
Allow us to help lift those stones.
Bless the lessons and move on
You are ready, you are capable,
You are indeed
One With All of Thee.
