Day 6 of 21 Free to Love meditation

              Okay so yes I skipped a day in blogging but not in the meditation.

 

Rituals of Release:

I'm somewhat of a pack rat when it comes to certain items. I love to collect certain things but I never find a place to display or keep them. I'd noticed that even more when I had to make a sudden move from Indy. I had soooooo much stuff that I was holding on to. I'm a sentimental person and things that people would throw away, I would most likely keep. Especially if it was something I've done with a special person or my children. I've kept letters, drawings, ticket and concert stubs....just stuff.

While I was preparing for my move, I tried my best to hold tight to some very important keepsakes (at least they were very important to me). BUT the way I had to travel from Indy to DE was not suited for a big move. So I packed as much as I could (over 20 something years worth) into 1 large suitcase, 2 medium sized suitcases, an average sized box, an oversized purse, and a huge tote. AND I was traveling alone on the train. 

Literally I was the bag lady that Erykah Badu was singing about:

Bag lady you gone hurt your back
Dragging all them bags like that
I guess nobody ever told you
All you must hold on to
Is you, is you, is you

Bottom line:

Bag lady
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Ooh, ooh
Girl you don't need it
I betcha love can make it better

I had to let go of some things that I thought were important. However letting go/releasing what is the norm is okay when life offers you daily newness. It became a ritual/ a habit to hold on and do things that became like second nature. It didn't matter if it was good or bad. So now my new ritual is just that.....walking in the newness of life. In doing so, it will leave me open to greater possibilities of LIVING!

 

So pack light
Pack light
Pack light
Ooh ooh

"I am pure existence, pure consciousness, pure love." (yesterday's meditation)
