NOTHING that has already happened can be changed in any way, shape or form.

Yet— our minds tend to obsessively replay the tapes of the past over and over and over again.

We think about how it was and how we think it should be.

We beat ourselves up for saying or doing a certain thing we wish we wouldn’t have.

Why do we do this?

It is the nature of the mind to analyze, predict and control. This is the part of us that wants to stay safe and protected.

Hello Beautiful Soul!

LETTING GO

Why is it that we have such a hard time letting go in our lives?

We get so stuck in the past, what we’ve done, what others have done to us, what we think we should have done differently.

Why are we so obsessed with what happened previously?

The biggest block that I see with my clients around the past is their INABILITY to understand that THE PAST CANNOT BE CHANGED.

NOTHING that has already happened can be changed in any way, shape or form.

Yet— our minds tend to obsessively replay the tapes of the past over and over and over again.

We think about how it was and how we think it should be.

We beat ourselves up for saying or doing a certain thing we wish we wouldn’t have.

Why do we do this?

It is the nature of the mind to analyze, predict and control. This is the part of us that wants to stay safe and protected.

So of course its going to go back and look for ways in which you could have ‘done better’— its only trying to help you.

Of course its going to replay those tapes over and over again because it’s trying to teach you not to make the same mistakes again.

But we don’t realize this— because we’re so stuck in the negative emotions that we can’t see clearly.

The way we FEEL about the past is actually what causes us to HOLD ON to it.

Because the only reason that you replay those tapes over and over again is because you have a negative emotion that is trapped inside your body that is connected to that experience.

Anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, shame, etc.

It’s the EMOTIONS that keep us stuck in the past.

Our culture tends to look down on and have a negative perception of our emotional nature.

Women all the time tell me that they don’t want to be “weak” and that they shouldn’t show or express how they feel.

Where do you think those emotions go?

They don’t just disappear.

Emotions are E-Motion, or ENERGY IN MOTION.

When we have an experience that we have a negative reaction to, and our body creates an emotion of anger or sadness or fear, and we block ourselves from feeling it, the energy of that emotion gets stuck in your body.

How might you block yourself from feeling it?

You try to forget about it, you numb it out or stuff it down using alcohol, food, drugs, TV, sex, shopping, gambling, exercising, you name it.

It doesn’t just go away.

This emotional baggage becomes toxic residue within your body that blocks your energy centers and creates physical health issues over time.

How do you know if you have baggage?

The easiest way is to think about an event from the past, and feel the emotional charge that comes up when you see, hear and feel what that experience was like for you. Do you still feel the negative emotions?

If you do— this is baggage, and this is what we have such a hard time letting go of.

But letting go is ESSENTIAL if you are to evolve spiritually and regain a sense of health, peace, happiness and freedom in the present moment.

When you go back and think about it— what have you been holding on to from the past that still feels negatively charged? What are you angry and resentful of? Where are you still holding grudges? What aren’t you letting yourself grieve over? What is it that you are afraid of?

It is a natural part of the growth and evolutionary process to release the negative emotions in your body.

From a spiritual evolution perspective, letting go of these experiences from your past that are energetically charged with negative emotions are the KEY to your growth.

These are the things that lower your vibration and color your perception of the world.

If you have negative emotions and baggage from the past, it affects how you view your life TODAY.

The only way to shift your perspective on the world towards a kinder, more loving and positive viewpoint— is to go in and release the baggage from the past.

My clients are AMAZED at the CLARITY that comes after we do a Mental and Emotional Release session.

Once they let go of their negative emotions, they suddenly can see the world with fresh eyes—and compassion, love and gratitude flows in to take its place.

It is truly the greatest gift in my coaching practice to witness this happen day in, and day out.

The mindshifts and transformations that happen in those sessions are truly miraculous.

We tend to think that it takes a long time to LET GO. But really— what are you doing when you go to therapy talking about your issues for 5 years? You’re really only GETTING READY to let go.

Because once you are actually READY to let go— the LETTING GO happens in an instant.

Change can happen much faster than you ever thought.

The vibration of the planet is speeding up and people are spiritually waking up and evolving at lightning speed.

This is good and bad news for you! It is good news if you are ready to release your past and let go of what no longer serves you. However, if you want to stay asleep and stay in denial that you even have baggage, then life is about to get MUCH harder for you.

Letting go is really only a choice you make.

And when you are truly ready, you’re ready.

The time is now to let go of what no longer serves you and step into the Highest Vision of the Woman You Are Meant To Become.

You are infinitely worthy and deserving of this great gift you are about to give to yourself.

Are you ready to let go?

There’s really nothing else you need to do — even though the fear may be strong.

Fear is normal in the letting go. It’s only that part of you trying to protect you and keep you safe.

The stronger the fear, the bigger and more profound impact it creates in your life when you do let go.

Know that you can do this, you are safe and strong, wise and powerful. If you’re ready to let go of the baggage of your past, all you need to do is make a decision and just. let. go.

I love you.
