Give it Away

How many things do you have stored in your physical and emotional life? Sometimes we get amazed when we stop and look around. We realize how much stuff we have that we either never used or used very little, but for some reason we tell ourselves that we might need them one day. The reality is-if they are there for so long without you even touching them-what makes you think that one day you might need them? Our minds are powerful and can trick us in many different ways. It can be in a very soft way that we do not even realize what is really going on. Unconsciously, you might think that you need the stuff you are not using because that makes you have a sense of security. Perhaps having all this material stuff stored just reflect how much garbage you have in your mind that translates through your emotions. The bottom line is that if you have old things filling your physical  and your emotional home, you will not be able to welcome new things and emotions that are ready to come into your life. For the new to come in, you must make space for it and invite it in.

Look inside and around you-feel what you need to give it away/let it go.

Clean your physical and emotional space, so new energy can come to you.

I always give things away. Things that are not serving me anymore, but perhaps can be a blessing to someone else. This morning, I was passing by my old treadmill and something got my attention in a different way. At that moment, I was totally present while looking at that old treadmill standing quietly in the corner. Something clicked in-why is this machine still here? You used it long ago when you needed it and liked it. It does not serve you anymore. You do not use it or like it anymore. Amazing, at that very moment I could feel a different energy flowing in. I brought to my awareness that my treadmill was deep connected to my past. I used it to lose weight. In 2005, I got pregnant and lost the baby when I was five months pregnant. My treadmill helped me to feel better. I was feeling lonely, sad and fat. The whole experience was very painful, but I was very successful to lose the weight I put it on. In 2006, I got pregnant and again I lost the baby on the fifth month. Oh boy, it was extremely painful-physically, emotionally and financially painful. There was my treadmill ready for me again. At that time, I did not use it like I did before but it was still helpful. For the past two years, I never felt like using it again, but I still kept it. I was not aware that my treadmill was connected to my memories, to my painful past. This was unconscious and I did not know that. See I’m healed with my past and emotions, but unconsciously I was still connected with my treadmill, and that’s why I did not let it go before. I had an emotional attachment to it. This morning, I could clearly see that, the space where my treadmill was-the energy there was not flowing in a peaceful way. Something old as my past is-was still here and present in my every day life and needed it to go away. I went outside and asked one of the guys who are working on my roof if he wanted a treadmill-come, get it and take it, I said- Giving my treadmill away made me feel incredibly good. In other words, even though I was not using my treadmill anymore, my unconscious mind was telling me to keep it. The movie that  was playing inside my head told me-how about if anything bad happens again? The unconscious fear of needing it again was the reason that I kept it for so long.

Stop for a moment-feel, feel-what do you need to let it go? Is it emotional or/and physical?  

Peace in your heart,    Marny
