On Letting Go

Many people have become increasingly fatigued, ill, depressed, and lost when it comes to finding their sense of self. In looking back at the last few months alone, the  escalating world violence, the natural disasters, arising pandemics, all of these have an energetic effect upon our minds and bodies. In the physical world, we have the environment and existing cultural traumas to contend with. In the spiritual world, we have those who have died and left this world much too early, and many of those souls have unresolved issues that have compelled them to stay earthbound in their confusion. Thus, with the chaos in our world and similarly in the world beyond the veil, most of us are feeling a fatigue which we are not accustomed to. Trying to find balance and stillness within ourselves and in the world that surrounds us can be challenging. Many of us are just learning to navigate this world we live in with some hope, but how do we work with a world that most of us cannot see? One that is having as much of an impact on us where many of us don’t even realize it!

The first step to understanding the fatigue is patience. This world has its ways to deal with physical, emotional and environmental traumas. Whether or not we agree with the methodology presented, there are still tools available. As for the world beyond the veil, the last few years there have been more spirits that have departed with unfinished work and have chosen to stay close to their loved ones. How can you help them and subsequently help yourself? Finish your unfinished business. A spirit who remains attached to a loved one will cause as much fatigue as anything in this world that takes energy from you. If a loved one is staying close, perhaps you might want to look at the reason that you are not able to let go, usually it will mirror the reasons that that spirit cannot let go. Are you angry? Lonely? Full of regret? Is Forgiveness in order?

All of these emotions internalized can indeed be draining. Imagine if you are carrying another’s emotions with you while you are still processing. That is exactly what happens. Finishing your unfinished business with whomever has crossed means being able to realistically look at your relationship with yourself and with this person that is no longer living in this world. Do the work that you would have done if this person were still alive and you wanted to heal the relationship. It will take some time, but as you learn to delineate the spiritual boundaries, this spirit will no longer need to hold onto you as you no longer need to hold onto them. They will slowly look for the light and for their evolution beyond the veil. When this happens, you will start to feel freer and lighter, and more capable of making healthier decisions in this world that serve you. Remember; as above, so below. Many spiritual traditions say prayers for the deceased and the reasons are similar. If they are stuck, we are stuck. Once they are free, we are free, and their prayers and our prayers together become more powerful to help both worlds that we live in.
