Now that you have established what it is that you’re lugging around with you,
aren’t you suddenly aware of how heavy it feels? It’s as if someone
attached a trailer to you when you were young, and over the years you’ve
been piling stuff on to it without even realising. It’s been subtle and
happening quietly, and the trailer is dragging along behind you, so you don’t
even see it, yet you can definitely feel something weighing you down.
Remember the feeling as a child, of having a spring in your step and
bounding around the house or the yard full of energy, like one of those
bouncy rubber balls? What happened to that feeling? I’ll tell you what
happened… it’s hard to bounce around with a trailer full of stuff attached to
your backside!! It’s time to let the stuff go… it’s not serving you.
“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to
accept the life that is waiting for us.”
Imagine if you woke up tomorrow in a brand new place, with complete
amnesia about who you were, where you had been or what your life
experiences had been like so far. Yes, it could be a little frightening because
it’s unknown… but imagine the possibilities! How exciting would the feeling
be of beginning a brand new journey with no stuff to hold you back. You
wouldn’t know if you were an heiress to a multi-billion dollar fortune, or a
beggar off the street, so you could pretty much pick which one and starting
feeling like that (I know which one I’d choose!).
I came across a beautiful technique recently to let go of the stuff that is
holding you back, which is a simple, yet powerful visualisation. Sit down
somewhere quiet, where you will be comfortable and uninterrupted for
about 10 minutes. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to get into
a relaxed state and then just allow a picture to come into your mind. The
picture is of you, in whatever environment you choose that brings you the
most peace and joy. That may be sitting on the beach, sitting by a stream in
a forest, or on a cloud in the sky… wherever you are happiest, and wherever
your imagination takes you.
You will notice that parked nearby is a really big truck, with a strong, heavy
duty tow bar, looking like it’s ready to tow something away. You know what
