Cleansing the Soul

Ever noticed how seemingly "old" emotions and response patterns can kick back up at you with the proper trigger (usually your partner, kids, co-workers, etc...)? You find yourself thinking, "Geez, I thought I'd already dealt with this stuff...WHY does it keep coming back up??" It can feel, at times, like you're wandering around in the giant circle of life (I KNOW I've seen this tree before!" or "I am SO sure I've already dealt with this grief, guilt, pain, etc....").

Turns out those "trigger" events can be happening just to give us the opportunity to release the old emotions on a deeper level. If we can resist scrutinizing, dissecting or otherwise analyzing the situation, we may be able to let go of those emotional charges. Those negative response patterns sit there beneath the surface, buried in our souls, until the right trigger pulls them up to the surface. If we can keep our bodies pure, resist the mind's desire to take control of the situation and just allow ourselves to FEEL the emotions...they can release. When they release, the emotional charge is diffused and our vibrations become elevated.

Today, we are poised for a lunar eclipse. The moon is full and, as usual, pulling forth LOTS of those old emotions we've got hidden in our souls. Perfect opportunity! Our work is simply to go with the flow of those emotions and ALLOW them to release. They may not feel nice for a few moments, but they are passing...if we let them.

The results?? With the negative patterns diffusing, our energy levels and vibrations ascend. We are left with a cleaner body, a more secure mind and a more peaceful soul. Happy lunar eclipse to all! May our emotional tides be met with MUCH self-love. :-)
