You know the image in Star Wars where Leia says to Vader the more he tries to hold on the more everything will slip out of his fingers like sand?
In a way, Life is like that. There are many blessings if one starts the practice 'to let go'.
Reiki this morning that was sent out to the people that read Doctors With Reiki and would like it, focused on the ability to Trust.
One cannot Trust and hold on to something at the same time.
For example, in Love, one cannot control the affections of the Other. It just IS or IS NOT, and even though the feelings may exist between a couple, unless both make the decision to experience the joy Love has to offer, it is not THERE and therefore is nothing to hold on to.
In Health, with terrible illness, there is a certain 'letting go', not to the doctors and medicine, but to the trust that this is for our Higher Good, and Lessons, and openness to Healing From All Sources in our lives is what is at stake.
In Parenting, all of the dreams we had about 'our children would do this' go out the window once we realize they have Free Will and an Opinion of Their Own. The very best parents are those who are Reasonable and are able to connect with the child's innate ability to be Reasonable back.
Life is more than a River that allows us to Go With The Flow. We can affect the Flow, somewhat. We can make our dreams and wishes come true. But not by trying to Control. This does not work with the Higher Dimensional way to manifest.
Know what you want and Allow, Allow, Allow. Always keep the greater perspective.
Listen to your Heart. It knows what is right for you the best.
Aloha and Mahalo,
Namaste,
Reiki Doc
