*~ …Letting go… ~*

We have all heard the term: “Let go, Let God.”

We have been told to just “Surrender” and “Go with the Flow” but what does that really mean?  Many of my clients have spoken to me about the need to maintain this flow of letting go as things keep coming up.  They say ‘”There is always more to let go of! When does it end?!”

I completely understand their frustration.  The trick is detecting the source of the creation of the things that come at us.  When we get to the root of that we can truly surrender and really let go.

An example of this is a recurring pattern in my life where I have been faced with the same test over and over again.  My “Saturnian” tests, shall I say, have been numerous and layered throughout my life starting in my teens and carrying through into my 40’s.

I recently was faced with this pattern again during a recent confrontation with an elder.  It has empowered me to realize that the most important things to let go of are our expectations.

Being really clear on what we are expecting from others frees us.  In having no expectations, we are ultimately free.

Having expectations is like a prison we place ourselves in.  It closes the energetic field down and limits the space for miracles.  Thinking and ego play a big part in expectations.

A few years ago, I was stopped on the way out of a store by an old Indian man.  He said this same thing to me.  He asked me if I knew how to live a happy life.  I said no and listened.  He said “Don’t have any expectations!  If you do your best every time then you have done all you can do.”  He said “You can’t be disappointed if you have done your best!”

It was a very simple message but straight to the point. 

I cannot change other people.  I can only change myself.  The inner work is the only thing that matters…Integrity, honesty, self-respect and self-love. 

That’s not to say be selfish.  Service is the prime honor in life.  Being there for people who are open to receive and ready to do the tough inner work is our highest calling.  Giving is for giving…

Another lesson I received around this came from a very good friend who was in the ICU for 4 months.  When he came out he said to me: “Janice, don’t get into confrontation.  Life is too short.  Move around them, do not interact with people who try to rip you off.  Just go around them and move on.  Life is too precious.”

I hear these elders.  I also see elders who are very stuck and afraid to shift to a higher paradigm. They are so comfortable in their fear that a bulldozer won’t even budge them.  It has been home for so long that is all they know.  Their reality has become too real.

Patterns can be broken.  We all live in our own created environments, but we also all live in one environment on earth…Home vs. home.

We must, and it is imperative at this time more than any other before, fall home to that deep place where we know that we are held in the highest regard by the Creator.

This is the only place to reach a complete letting go of expectations… To KNOW that in light we are HELD and that we are all connected no matter what our ego plays out for us or others do around us… To become so smooth that nothing sticks and we merely can move through the fields of conflicting energy like a fish in water sleek and sliding through the river of life.

Letting go… the great paradigm of movement; moving through mindful of our ability to release as much as we are tempted to hold on…

Be at peace…

Namaste ~*~
