Lesson 253: Re-Member
“The word “remember” has a great deal of meaning for me. At its essence, remember means to call back all our “members” — those aspects in ourselves that we have neglected, have gotten scattered or gone missing — and return to the truth of who we are.
And there is no better way to “pull yourself together,” I believe, than to adopt a simple daily practice in mindfulness and letting go. What are you ready to call out of hiding and let go of today?”
New week equals a new theme and this week is “Re-Membering”.
I do tend to reflect from time to time and remember things or aspects of myself that I haven’t paid attention to. There are many things that I didn’t have confidence to do as a child or teenager, and it’s what I try to remember – all those missed opportunities. I try and do these activities now as an adult. I feel that I neglected these activities, parts of myself and I believe there isn’t any reason why I can’t fulfil those interests now. It’s really just being true to myself.
My Monday actually consisted of getting help from my witch boss to cut cords. Cutting cords is part of a visualisations to cut cords with people that hold you back or no longer serve you, but somehow they have disrupted your subconscious. These people hurt me, crushed my confidence, were disloyal beyond measure and I needed to let it all go. I was actually depressed this past month and I couldn’t figure out why. I started having thoughts that I wasn’t good enough and didn’t deserve good things. Then these people started coming into my mind and I thought there must be buried feelings in my subconscious and these people have some hold on me, and this is why I did the cord cutting. Recommend it to anyone that has stuck feelings that need to be let go of. I feel so refreshed but there is still a few people that have come up that I will need to cut. I look forward to the day it’s all done with!
In terms of mindfulness, I was thinking the other day how I need to remember to be grateful for each day. I don’t know why I stopped praying in this way and used to burn incense. I will remember to start doing this again.
