Blocks To Becoming Alive Series - Holding On When It’s Time To Let Go

Thu, 12 January 2017

At some point in your life, you have to simply let go of the past… whether its letting go of a job where you feel like you’re dying a slow death, a business that no longer brings toy any kind of fulfilment, a relationship that was really over a years ago, or an expensive piece of jewellery that was given to you by your former mother-in-law.

When you let go, you create space for something infinitely better to come into your life.

So why is it that we make the mistake of holding on?

There is only one reason: fear.

We think to ourselves things like…

“What if I let go of this job and then the management change happens that turns this company into a wonderful place to work?”

“What if he leaves that husband stealer and comes back to me, and he’s upset that I got rid of the necklace that his mother gave me?”

Really? Is that how you want to live your life?

You hold on out of fear that there won’t be something to take place of what you have now.

We’re here to tell you that there will be something. And you know what that something is?

Miracles.

In order to allow miracles into your life, you have to make space for them by letting go of what no longer serves you. You have to clear the clutter.

What we’ve found is that the way to start the energy moving is to get rid of physical clutter.

Once that physical stuff starts to move, letting go of the bigger things like relationships becomes infinitely easier.

When we release the old energy, it makes space for the new.

We have a friend who meet her current husband at a party literally the day after she finally gave her deceased husband’s clothes to Goodwill. He had died six-and-a-half years earlier.

When we let go of the old, we’re basically saying to the Universe, “ I know you have my back, so I’m going to let go and trust that there’s something better on its way for me.”

Everything we own carries an energy with it. It’s amazing how letting go of something as seemingly innocuous as old pots and pans can help the momentum that allows us to get the whole new kitchen, or house, or partner!

In order to “clear the decks” and open ourselves to a miraculous future, we use a simple feng shui ritual based on letting go.

If you are really ready to start this momentum going and you want a fresh start in any area of your life, we invite you to try this:

“Each day for nine days in a row give away, throw away, or somehow eliminate from your home or office 27 items-that’s right, 27 items a day for nine days…”

These items can be clothes that have been in your closet for years in case you get back to size 4, dishes that have big chips in them, spoons that have been eaten up by the garbage disposal, knickknacks that you don’t even like that sit around accumulating dust- whatever no longer serves you and you don’t want to carry into the future.

Here are some guidelines:

Once you start, you have to let go of at least 27 items a day.

If you skip a day you have to start over with day 1 because the energy is cumulative.

If you’re not sure about an item, hold it to your heart and ask if you want to bring the energy of the item into your future. Ask, “Does it represent the ‘me’ as I see my ideal self in the future?”

Get rid of books, tapes, and CD’s with messages that no longer speak to you.

Get rid of outdated food or vitamins, and dispose of old medicines that may remind you of a previous illness (it’s not a great idea to hold on to these just in case the illness comes back!)

Throw away items in your kitchen that are cracked or unusable. Get rid of broken appliances that you know you’ll never get fixed. It’s usually cheaper to get a new one anyway.

Throw away items in your office like dried-up markers, broken pens, expired passports, and old magazines you’ll never read.

Give away anything that holds an unpleasant memory or binds you to the past that is never coming back.

As you let go, thank the item warmly for its previous usefulness, and then say goodbye to it with gratitude in your heart. This makes the process joyful and deeply fulfilling.

After nine days are over, take one final look around and see if what’s left represents who you are now and who you intended to be in the future.

It’s a law of physics that “Nature abhor a vacuum.” In other words, Nature doesn’t like it when things are empty! So when you create a space, the Universe rushes in to fill it up. This why when you release old relationships that no longer work, new and more wonderful ones have space to come in. When you let go of old resentments, more loving energy can enter. When you let go of the items throughout your home that carry old energy, more appropriate thins will come in. You’ll also notice a much greater ease when letting go of old ideas, feelings, positions, relationships, or anything that no longer serves you…and you’ll also notice that miracles will fill those empty spaces faster than you can say, “ I love Becoming Alive”.

You know, Pennie, I had a sneaking feeling you were just reading me like a book, that everything you said was directed at me and me alone…how egotistical is that! I looked around the room while you were talking and everyone was so enthralled in what you were saying I never been to anything like this before and I’m certainly hooked now so I’ll be seeing you again soon. A big Thank-you
