Let it go

The cluttered mind obstructs energy.  If you carry too much stuff in your mind you will create a blockage and stop energy from flowing.  Visualize a flowing stream, throw some sand into the stream and it will continue to flow quite nicely.  If you start piling up boulders, more and more, you will create a dam and the flow will be blocked.  We need to learn to let go of stuff that really doesn't matter, if its done or you have no control over the matter, then let it go.

My own mind has been more cluttered these days with back to school, back to business and routine stuff.  I have not been writing in this blog or doing any photography.  I feel blocked and it made me wonder if most people feel this way all the time with their busy lives.  Finding a balance is difficult, we need to give ourselves the gift of time to enjoy life.  One thing we all have control over is the amount of stuff we hang on to, so throw those boulders to the shore and free-up the flow of energy for yourself to enjoy.

"Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else;  you are the one who gets burned".    - the Buddha.

Holding onto to problems or situations will add to the pile of stuff gathering in your mind.  Try to turn your problems into lessons, learn from the experience, and move on.  Hold onto the lesson to avoid repeating the situation, but throw out the details along with the energy sucking anger, judgement, regret ect.

Focusing your attention on the lesson will "empower" you, rather than "trap" you into a habitual pattern that ends up repeating the same mistake.



Bliss - Unobstructed Energy.
