So how do we go about this clearing out of memories
and traumas that we can have no clear memory of
today? Here’s the process I’ve begun to use:
• Sit down for a short period of meditation. Have
a question of inquiry ready. I’ve been using,
“What most needs to be released in me in this
moment? I am open to the complete release
from this moment back to the beginning of
time.”
• Visualize an outlet for the memories to gently
flow from. I’ve created a wonderful garden
gate with beautiful flowers growing around it.
When I open the gate, that is my mind’s signal
to release what might have unconsciously or
consciously come up.
• Increase awareness of your breathing, inhalin g
gratitude and peace and exhaling blockages
and memories that no longer serve me or my
physical self today.
• Close out your time of quiet with an affirmation
or declaration of cleansing. I say “I am free and
lighter in mind, body, and spirit.”
Yes, nutrition and physical exercise are
important components to tuning our vessel and
showing it love and appreciation, but we can’t
forget the mental and emotional parts either. I
hope you’ll join me in releasing that which no
longer serves us and that which we may have
no conscious memory of but using either my
process outlined above, or by creating one that
serves you even better.
release that weight until you peel away the layers
of your own losses and just move your body more.
Of course, continue at the gym and keep your
heart rate up and drink your water and do all that
we know we are to do, but also be willing to do
the mental work too.”
The cell memories of even more decades than I
can count are contained in this vessel we call our
lives. I get the visual of the lint filter in the dryer: it
needs to be constantly cleaned out so that the lint
doesn’t accumulate and overheat the machine,
allowing it to work at optimal capacity.
It’s a wonderful new month of summer fun; go out
and enjoy it with activities that give your vessel a
loving tune-up!
