strength

A curious thing has happened. I have got stronger. And it has not been because I suddenly upped my weight training or hired a fitness consultant. It seems to be because I have let go of some of my past.

Allow me to explain....

When I was 7, my Mother married again to Terry, my Step-father. As a child, I was upset by my parents' break-up and did not accept him readily into my little life. He was only 27 (!) at the time and ill-equipped to deal with me and my stony silences. So we never bonded and even tried to avoid each other as I grew up, eventually leaving the house at 18.

A few years later, he left my Mother for another woman, with whom he shared the next 30 years until she died least year. My Mother had had no contact with him and had been extremely angry about the divorce, but she sent him a card of condolence. The next thing you know they are meeting for coffee and a chat... fast forward to Mum moving back in with him in November.

Never say never!

I visit my Mum each year in England so this time was going to be different. I was going to meet Terry again after 30 years and stay in his house.

Wow.

Inner-child freaking out...irritable bowel set in right before my trip as the body reacted.

And you know what?

My Mum was right - he had changed, softened, gotten kinder, more communicative and they are as happy as larks with their 2 dogs sitting between them on the couch. So it was OK. My bowels relaxed and so did I. And with this a HUGE energetic clearing. I had NO idea I had held on to so much energy from this past relationship. I had done my forgiveness work and done my best to appreciate the role he had played in my life during times of inner inquiry. Still there is nothing like putting it all to test in the flesh!

I am happy for my Mum, my sisters whose Dad this is and for me. It all feels alright. And the upshot is that my body has gained in strength! I know this to be true as I do the same set of weights at the gym twice a week and this last time I could easily press 40 lbs more. And I just went to see my medical intuitive doc, Herb Akers, and he confirmed I now have "functionality" in my physical body. As he has told me so many times, when the weakness is gone, the strength shows up.

If that is not an incentive to do our inner clearing work I don't know what is! I feel better now than EVER before. Body not just strong but more open too - I can tell from yoga poses.

I am hearing about people clearing their past left, right and center. This is the time. Seems we need to be as clear as possible for what is to come.

Have you cleared your past? Who is still in your field energetically that does not belong there? Where are you nursing old hurts, grievances??

Just want to encourage you all to let them go as I can attest, it feels much better when you do!
