Hanging On!

I received some heartfelt cries for help this week.   It seems for many of us, the concept of ‘letting go’ is a relatively easy one to get in our heads, but a much harder one to get in our hearts.  

The fear seems to be that if we let go, we can never go back!  And if we don’t know what lies ahead, we hang on to what we think we know, because better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.  

But that’s where we are mistaken ~ in our thinking.  We forget that we do know what lies ahead of us.  When we let go and change our minds, we change for the better.  We become lighter and most importantly we become freer.     

But as I said, that’s often easier said than done.  So what to do in practical terms?  Well this week, I decided to let go of the inward focus on me and to turn my focus outward:  I asked the Universe to show me how to be in its flow.   

The Universe never lets you down.  You always get exactly what you asked for!  The lessons started when I tried to buy an ipad.  I thought I knew exactly what to do.  Mistake #1!   After wasting several hours on the phone trying to find a store in Sydney with stock, I felt frustrated.  My body was tense.  I felt really annoyed with myself.  This was not flowing.  I immediately went into my head: ”maybe I’m not meant to get one of these ipads.  Is this the Universe’s way of telling me this is not the way to go?  But I really want one and last week the Universe showed me this was the solution.”   And suddenly it hit me!  The Universe was showing me how much harder it was doing it ‘my way’.   So I stopped and asked the Universe to show me how to be in the flow.

In a matter of minutes I received a call from the guy at the Apple Store advising me to buy on line.  Guaranteed delivery to my door in 3 days with free shipping.  The order literally took me minutes to complete.   I felt calm and happy and relaxed.  Now I was in the flow.        

Sometimes we forget that we have 24/7 access to the most powerful tool we could ever wish for!  It can be as simple as asking for guidance and before you know it, you’ve let go of what’s blocking you.

So let go and let God!  What have you got to lose?
