Feng Shui Your Mind

So last week we were talking about letting go. And Jill has some observations to share after focusing on letting go this past week. Whenever I felt the impulse to try to control things because I was concerned about how they would work out, I noticed what fueled the impulse. Underneath the urge to try to control things, was anxiety. The anxious feelings kept me from feeling joyful anticipation about what was to come. From an energy perspective, I was mismanaging my energy. In trying to control things, I was wasting my energy and time, because I had no control over outer circumstances. As I practiced letting go this week, I discovered that my energy was so much better because I focused on using my energy efficiently. Whenever I found myself concerned about how something was going to work out, I decluttered my anxious thoughts and then practiced envisioning how I wanted things to turn out. What a great shift! Looking back over the week, I am so grateful that I practiced letting go because I realize that I spared myself from the kind of suffering that happens when we don’t let go because we’re stuck in fear, too busy trying desperately to control Life. And, the Universe abundantly rewarded my efforts. Support for deepening this practice came from people who truly want to see me step into my most powerful Self. We had sweet conversations that amplified my growing awareness that letting go, letting God is really like having a magic wand. But, it only works if you use it! So, try it yourself this week. I’m going for another week & I can hardly wait to see what gifts await me from the Universe!
