    Laying down your chains

    Saturday, June 7, 2008, 08:57 AM EST [Thoughts]

    So I read something and it got me thinking again...LOL. It was about being overwhelmed and laying down our burdens to the goddess. It fits into my thinking/feeling of late my friends. Getting stuck so much in the events and thoughts of life and not into the FEELING and MEANING of life. The weight of your past, the weight of your life, the weight of your responsibilities and even your hopes and dreams pull you down so far that you feel crushed. Unable to breathe, suffocating inside you just want to give up but you can't.
    We all have had our moments...where all in life feels dark, where we wonder if the cycle will ever end. We have a few brief respites from our burdens and that usually is enough to keep us going but still all in our life is framed in the drama and the emotion and the cycle. I have been there a number of times. I am not perfect. There is NO ONE PERSON in the world who can handle everything on their own. We need to get past that idea in our head. We by our very nature our creatures and souls of community and synergy.
    Stepping out of this, turning your burdens and responsibilities over to the divine, to the world and to share our thoughts/feeling with our loved ones and our circle of souls in our lives lightens us. Brings us back in sync with the whole that is us.
    it is a PART of being whole again. We all have our moments, our days in the sun and our dark times. The thing to always remember is we are NEVER alone. There are people in our lives that truly love us. Love takes many forms my friends ...she is goddess with many manifestations in our lives. She is in a sense a perception of the mother goddess.
    I wrote about recharging the emotional/spiritual/physical batteries. This is also a part of that process to get whole. Nature is a great recharger ...stepping out to it. clearing your head...you can do that just by focusing on your environment start subtracting out the stray elements around you and just look, feel, hear the beauty around you Concentrate on this and this alone Let the rest of the world fall aside and take your burdens, your chains of life and let them drop. The Mother goddess is there, She will look after them. Do this and recharge the batteries as i said before. Doing both will start to get you back to you again.. It is not going to change the world... You need to do that ...but you need to be whole on the inside to be able to that. Let things fall into place when they are ready to. Actually SEE the goodness and love you already have in life. The people you love and who love you , places and day to day experiences and interactions of the world, nature and your circle of souls.
    There is no missing parts in our life, we are all whole, sometimes the pieces are jumbled and need to be put back into place. Getting back in tune with ourselves and with the universe then life and all will fall into place an in to sync. We have everything we want in our lives already. It is just a matter of spring cleaning our hearts, minds and souls to complete the picture. Focusing on what is wrong just channels the negative energy back into us. it is REACTIVE and we are all basically PROACTIVE beings. Heal ourselves, trust in the goddess and goodness in the world and leave the garbage behind. Take the time to be you, the spirit is in you...looking ahead for the better tomorrow makes us miss the here and now. Enjoy what you have and work on making it better both for you, your soul, the circle of souls in your life and the world as a whole. Know that all the peace and happiness in your life is there around you it is just a matter of channelling the energy into being the you you truly are.

    These are all good words and good advise. One I really need to follow as well It is not a easy path and I stumble on it a lot. But still I try and go on.

    Ciao, jas
