Let It Go: A Path to Divine Freedom and Surrender

Let It Go: A Path to Divine Freedom and Surrender

Just let it go! A common phrase used in a variety of stressful situations, but we all know it’s easier said than done. I’ve been working with letting go in my own life and was recently reminded of the famous song “Let It Go”(1) from the movie Frozen.

For those who don’t know the creation story of the movie, Elsa was originally characterized as an evil snow queen with magical powers who goes up into the icy mountains and comes back with a snow army to wreak havoc on the town. The songwriters working on “Let It Go” were trying to understand the character more deeply by imagining the experiences that led her to that pivotal moment on the snow-covered mountain. The further they delved into a character who had been shut away from the world as a child and told that her unique powers were dangerous, the more the tone of the song shifted. Once they realized that this was going to be a song of acceptance, freedom and empowerment, the song was finished in less than two days. After presenting the song to the story writers, everyone realized that the entire plot needed to be re-worked to reflect this new understanding of Elsa’s character and the meaning of her inner journey. The movie was literally re-written around the song.

I believe that these heart-centered insights into this character directly contributed to the wild popularity of both the song and the movie. It wasn’t just another hero/heroine story involving a battle with a villain; it was a story of becoming and self-realization. The message touched a chord across the globe not just with children but with many adults. It carried a powerful message about letting go of our fears, accepting ourselves for who we are and allowing our inner gifts to express fully in the world, regardless of what others may think, feel or say in response. Letting go and self-acceptance, free of judgment, free of fear, is the path to true inner freedom and surrender to ourselves as Source.

I share the lyrics of the song here for use in your meditations, if you are guided. Some of the verse may speak to you with unique insights:

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I’ll stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never goin’ back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

Healing Addiction to 3D Consciousness

Healing Addiction to 3D Consciousness

Is it possible to be addicted to 3rd dimensional consciousness itself? The answer that came to me recently is “yes”. As healers, many of us have worked on our attachments to aspects of 3rd dimensional reality; perhaps situations, substances, specific people or beliefs or emotions. I was recently guided to work with healing addiction to 3rd dimensional consciousness as a whole and to heal any “withdrawal” symptoms from letting it go.

We can keep ourselves operating in 3D consciousness even when our overall frequency is no longer a match. It’s a bit like continuing to do the work of a high-schooler because it feels familiar and comfortable even though we’ve already graduated our Master’s degree. The key is to identify what’s holding us in old patterns and keeping us from being in alignment with who we are now. Wherever we’re still holding beliefs in our separation, we may still perceive ourselves as dependent on 3D consciousness to function. We haven’t fully remembered who we are beyond the 3D patterns and rules we’ve become dependent upon.

If we’re afraid to allow ourselves to just be Pure Love and Pure Joy and if we focus on the outcomes of actions rather than the vibrations of those actions as being aligned with Pure Love and Joy, then we may still have attachments to 3D consciousness. The attachment could be as simple as doubting that just being Love is enough. The withdrawal symptoms could be as subtle as frequently thinking we should be doing more clearing or more acts of service even when we’re guided there isn’t more to be done right now.

If any of this resonates with you, it may be a good time to ask if you have any addiction to 3D consciousness that’s ready to be healed and whether you need to identify more specific attachments or “withdrawal” symptoms. I also recommend reading Lori Rock’s blog this month for more insights, Redux: Renunciation of the Third Dimensional World. Allowing and Detaching with Compassion

Divine Unity through Christ Consciousness

Divine Unity through Christ Consciousness

Have you struggled to find common ground with those whose beliefs seem different from yours? Perhaps even seem diametrically opposed? This is a piece we will need to work through, individually and collectively, in order for humanity to take our next big step forward in evolution. It is not easy and it calls for us to see clearly through the illusion of our mental beliefs to the truth of our spiritual knowingness. How do we say “yes, yes, I see you” to those who are saying, “no, no, you’re nothing like me”? How do we transcend our own desires to create separation from those we disagree with or even feel dislike?

Years ago, I answered my door to be greeted by two young Mormon missionaries, spreading the Christ’s word. For those who don’t practice that religion, the first reaction may be to try to excuse yourself from the conversation as quickly as possible. That particular day, I was guided to talk with them. They asked me about my faith, and I shared about my connection with the Christ and ways that I focus on incorporating spiritual practice into my everyday life. I spoke about coming from my heart and from love rather than the dogma of a specific religion. They shared in kind their spiritual practices. One missionary in particular was very enthusiastic about focusing on love as a guide and responded in kind with his own approach of bringing love into his faith. I truly enjoyed seeing his face light up with joy and passion as he spoke. I felt very much uplifted and felt a very deep connection with them.

As we talked, I was aware that they were hearing my words through their own filters and applying meaning based on their specific beliefs. I knew that if we had continued the conversation in more detail, we would have uncovered a significant divergence in our understanding of divine truth. But the purpose of the conversation was not to teach them my understanding; it was to teach me. It was a reminder that we can experience true unity, regardless of differences in our beliefs. None of us tried to persuade the other to change beliefs or follow a different path. They could feel the strength of my commitment to my path, and I respected their commitment to theirs. We simply communed where our paths met.

I invite you to practice communing soul-to-soul in all conversations, focusing on the feeling being communicated rather than the perceived meaning of the words themselves. When we focus on speaking from our hearts and connect through our divine consciousness, it is easy to see our common ground. When we see beyond individual, limiting beliefs, we see our world from the divine truth that connects us all. This is Divine Unity through Christ Consciousness.

Divine Permissions

Divine Permissions

Are you giving yourself permission to evolve and stand in your spiritual mastery? Are you ready to give yourself permission to be your divine self? Intellectually, we understand that this permission does not come from outside ourselves, but mentally and emotionally we may still struggle to step into our rightful Divine Power and Authority. We may still hold lack of belief in our worthiness or deserving. We may have fears about accessing our divine power. We may have attachments to what we perceive as past mistakes or failures. But we each hold the key to our full divine expression.

Recently in meditation, questions about rights and permissions came to my awareness:

What divine permissions of creatorship am I withholding from myself?

Do I believe I have the right to walk in my full, sovereign mastery?

Am I still waiting for permission from my soul, the Christ or God/Goddess to evolve and ascend?

Who am I really asking for permission?

You may be guided to take these or similar questions to your soul. Trust your guidance for the right questions for your own healing and evolution. The key to the answer is inherent within the question itself.

When we believe ourselves to be powerless or lacking, we look outside ourselves for what we believe are the sources of our strength. When we understand that there is no one and no thing outside of Source, there is no one to ask. When we know ourselves as whole and sovereign, we understand that the questions and answers come from the same source.

Here is one answer that I will share: You already have full rights and permissions to be the divine being that you are. Have faith in this truth and allow it to become your full experience.

What Is Your Divine Truth?

What Is Your Divine Truth?

Just as we would update and upgrade operating systems on our digital devices, we update our divine truth throughout our spiritual evolution. What was true for us at certain times in our spiritual journey will not always be so. We cannot experience growth and expansion otherwise.

I recently had the realization that I was defaulting to some old ways of doing things in my life even though circumstances in my outer world had changed to reflect some frequency shifts I had experienced. The old ways were no longer a match for me or my life, but I was still holding on to them from the comfort of habit. To further the digital metaphor: I needed an updated core for my new operating system. This brought me to the question: What is my new truth?

We are multi-dimensional beings with multi-dimensional consciousness. Until come back into Unity and Oneness, each aspect of our consciousness operates from a “truth” that is the foundation for that unique experience. When our overall energy shifts to a higher frequency, some aspects of our consciousness may take a little longer to catch up to the new reality. We can help those aspects with our conscious intention and healing techniques to support the complete shift.

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or operating from habit rather than conscious choice and discernment, pause for a moment and do an internal check: What is my divine truth in this moment? If the mental or emotional bodies are spiraling about what happened in the past or what you need to do in the future, this question can help you re-center and focus back to the core of your inner truth. Yes, I do need to prepare dinner in a few hours because my physical body needs sustenance but is it true that I need to make my grocery list right now? Is it true that the evening will fall apart if I don’t plan the meal in detail? If I acknowledge that’s not true, then what is true for me? Usually, the answer to that question is fairly simple and from that place of simplicity, it’s much easier to have the clarity we need for our next steps.

Practice incorporating this question into moments where you feel distracted or stressed or uncertain. What do you know in your heart is absolutely true in this very moment? Take a few deep breaths and let your reality be fully grounded in this truth. Once you have that clarity and centeredness of Divine Truth, the rest will fall into place with far greater ease and flow.
