THE JORNEY TO LETTING
I have a good friend who reminds me when I am washing the dishes not to waste water, for in many parts of the world there is a water shortage. Her reminders were sharp and they have stayed with me every time I wash dishes.
I now wander:
How much water is needed to wash dishes? This goes way beyond the need to conserve water or to manage waste of any kind.
Depending on how we have been nurtured we learn to withhold our true feelings, the depths of our love, our compliments, words of praise. We have been taught they there can be too much of a good thing.
Imagine that there is an unlimited | inexhaustible supply bliss, joy | abundance | freedom | contentment | creativity in you that can be released as easily as turning on a tap.
How wide would you open the tap? How do you moderate the flow?
We call your ability to do this “LETTING.”
Consider that LETTING does not require you to conserve, control, withhold, or save anything for a rainy day; there is no responsibility to save some for your friend, no shame or guilt is associated with LETTING.
When we LET, we simply open the tap wider and experience the overflow of unlimited capacity to remember ourselves, to change, to imagine, to heal and connect to be nourished —not just for ourselves but for ALL life. We LET LIFE direct the FLOW.
“LETTING” activates the features of the element WATER. WATER is the element that allows us to CONNECT, touch and feel into ourselves and each other, into life itself, into the abundance of life, in a deep and intimate and embodied way. Our ability to “LET,” activates the qualities of WATER— self-sufficiency , compassion | empathy | integrating, authenticity | simplicity, inner-connection, organization | flow. LETTING opens the gates to bliss, freedom, creativity, relationship, abundance and a deeper connection to the Source of Life.
In the culture today there is a lot of talk about EASE and FLOW — We love the idea of flow and we want to get to it.
But consider that there is a journey to get there—a channel that is navigated. Consider the activating declaration: “I LET MYSELF BE FILLED” is a declaration of Self- realizations that include:
“I AM” ~ The realization of who you really are [MINERAL]
“I CAN” ~ The realization of your abilities [NATURE]
“I CHOOSE” ~ The realization that what is, is enough [FIRE]
“I LET” ~ The realization of overflow, connection and continuity [WATER]
“I ALLOW.” ~ The realization of your ability to hold it all. [EARTH].
LETTING without a realization who you are, what you can do, and your ability to choose, is often a strategy – triggered behaviour, that avoids being present with Life as it is.
