Letting Go and Moving On

A click of the finger and its gone - the past I’m referring to. How long does it take us to truly let go of that which has passed? Will it be a second, a minute, a week, month or year? Do we want to let go and move on? After all we have free will and therefore it’s our choice how long we stay in our wounded space? Our human journey, through the ‘losses’ in our lives, will be one of the lessons that will lead us, if we are willing, to a healed space and back to our soul. In so doing we will start to gain a sense of ‘coming home’.

Some may mourn the loss of their childhood, innocence, magical creativity or their power. Through many experiences in this or past lifetimes we may have engaged with our victimhood, self-sabotage or even the thought of annihilation. We may have engaged with our shadow and sought retribution in many of it’s guises. Some may choose to shut-down, disengage or become isolated. Others will see the lessons and connect back to the ‘universal heart’ where we all beat as one. Re-connecting and surrendering again to a heart which beats with compassion, courage, peace, forgiveness and surrenders itself to love.

Some may mourn the loss of their job, their home, their health, money, a relationship and most will experience the loss of someone close to them to what we call death. There is no right or wrong way to experience loss. I have no doubt that we will all do the very best we can in any of these situations. I have a wondering though if there are some gems that can be shared that may help some in this healing process.

Sometimes we will loose the feeling of peace. Remember that behind angry voices there is pain, a cry for love. A cry to be heard. My experience is that the most powerful words come as a whisper from the gentle voice of ‘man’.

We can choose to see loss as an opportunity for new beginnings. My brother for instance served an apprenticeship and after many devoted years was made redundant. He hasn’t looked back. He had always hankered after working outside and being a keen gardener started up his own business. He would never have taken that step himself and is now constantly turning work away. He has discovered right livelihood and it supports all his needs. Might be something to do with his initial intention. He called his company Prestige Services.

To dwell on what might have been can be considered a ‘sin’. We give away so much energy each time we go there. We choose drama over peace. At the same time we could believe that just ahead of us there is a sparkling magical future with our name clearly stamped on it. It can hold that extra ‘bit’ that we never dared dream of for ourselves.

So allow time by all means to grieve and mourn and then in the nicest possible way …… leave the wound, lighten up and move on to more love than you ever thought possible.
