Letting go and Quotes – Easy Daily Reminders

I call them my letting go quotes, reminders of what I think is healthy for me and those around me. Thinking it through…….. , figuring it out….well this is my train of thought:

Allowing our feelings to be, welcoming them without judgment and to set them free is a wonderful way to achieve a calm peaceful mind. Most people who have been using the Sedona Method for a while will agree to that.

Often though we seem to forget, whe get side tracked and forget the basics. Or resistance sets in, we resist the good the bad and the ugly. As Hale puts it ” to the degree we resist anything we resist everything” . No matter what the case might be we drift away from something we know is beneficial to us.

Yes, releasing when we are “in the gutter” but do we keep up when things start to move smoothly again.

Because I know how hard it can be at times. To be insured against my own resistance, procrastination and other warm company I gathered a great number of what you might call “letting go quotes”. When there is an interest in it I could mail one daily.

Sometimes it’s good to be reminded and have something to ponder on…. And a gently reminder from a like minded is as welcome. When you like the idea, leave a reply… I’ll see what I can set up.

Again Attachments and Aversions

The only thing that can really hold me back, the only real root cause of all my “misery” are my Attachments and Aversions to people, places and things. Having it my way, the constant need to change what is, impatience, the list goes on and the result of my attachment or aversion toward an outcome.

I can only feel resistance when I’m attached or repulsed by possible outcomes. The fact that I place more value on watching TV than doing my bills or cleaning out a drawer is an example of this process in motion. The resistance and/or guild it creates makes the TV show less enjoyable, my bookkeeping less effective… and the drawer.. well its better not to mention

Letting go on the two A’s is something you can practice in almost any situation because our lives often seem to revolve around it.  Another great method is to work on goals. This seems like a paradox, but when you dig deeper it really isn’t.  Hmmmm more on that later this week….

Hitting Rock Bottom

The wisest and most emphatic  remark about about the feeling of having used up all other options.  No place left to go and beyond human help.

“When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on”

Benjamin Franklin

A Reminder From Lester

If we want to know the truth about who we are, all we have to do is let go of our attachment to thoughts and feelings . In silence, who or what we are makes itself known.

Lester Levenson

Sticks and Stones and Imperturbability

Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but names will never harm me, the old nursery rime tells us. The thing is we never learned how to do this. Most of us are in one way or another so attached to the opinion others have of us, it greatly diminished our emotional as well as our material wellbeing. The place Lester called imperturbability, where nothing or nobody can disturb our peace therefore is the place the perfect place to be. Let’s make it our intention today to let everything that separates us from what we already are go… Just for today!
