People are always telling us to let go. They tell us to let go of the past. They tell us to”Let go and let God”. But do those people tell us HOW to let go? Usually they don’t.
Letting go can be SO hard. Myself, I have felt myself so attached to my thoughts about the past and the meaning I made of it that I didn’t feel like it was in ANY way possible for me to let go. I have felt like a roast turning on a spit, tortured by my obsessive thinking about the past.
When we are convinced that the past should have been different and that something was terribly wrong, we will often have a tendency to not accept what has been. We go over it and over it in our mind trying to analyze WHAT happened, WHY it happened, HOW it could’ve been different, and most importantly, who is to blame. We can’t even begin to let go until we have figured it out.
I have invested many precious years of my life in those mental obsessions.
I don’t do that anymore.
I broke the habit of that obsessive thinking about the past, the injustice, who to blame. I did it by learning to ACCEPT what has been and what is now. This doesn’t mean I’ve given up a vision of healing, or Wholeness. Just the opposite.
Instead of investing my precious time energy and attention into ruminating about the past, I can invest my energy into holding a vision of Wholeness and Freedom. I’m glad I’ve learned this. Holding this vision makes me feel successful and happy. And that’s a great feeling.
Holding a vision of goodness is powerful. I’m liberating from the burdens of my perceptions of the past. I cannot ruminate about the past while simultaneously visioning for a future of Wholeness. I have to choose one or the other, past or future, problem or possibility. I’ve learned which one is going to help me live the life I desire NOW.
Are you willing to let go of the meaning you made of the past so you can be happy now?

Are you interested in joining me? I had so much miraculous healing in my family and in my heart that I had to share it with others. That’s why 11 years ago, I created a boot camp class called Family Freedom. The very first time I offered it, shortly after my mother’s passing in 2008, people also had amazing and miraculous healing. I realized that the curriculum was really all about applying the ACIM principles in a way that brought Freedom from fear, and so I’ve continued to work on this class and update it and now I call it Finding Freedom From Fear.
This class is so powerful and transformative that it’s also a requirement for my Spiritual Counseling Certification Program.
I haven’t offered this class in six months, but I’m thinking of offering it soon. I’m thinking of doing something special next time I offer it so that people can do the class with a friend or family member, as there is definitely strength in joining with a partner. If you’d like to be on the waiting list so you can join me next time I offer it, you can go here to sign up for the waiting list and I’ll keep you posted.
