Daily Question, November 2

What am I willing to let go of in order to be more free and/or happy?

  • Brown Rose

    Taking things personally. Most people don’t care and they frequently do things that work for them at that moment. A lot of times what people do have nothing to do with you. You just happen to be there.

  • Hot Sauce

    I am willing to let go of my need to have every assignment in on time. While that might sound irresponsible, I really want to make self-care (as daily exercise) a priority, and the fact that I feel like I need to apologize when I say that is probably just more evidence that I need to let some of the perfectionism go.

  • Ose

    I recently got to know a most beautiful piece of spoken and music by Ram Dass and Jon Hopkins, where it is said to let judgements and oppinions of the mind be judgements and oppinions of the mind. So this would be a most welcome aspect in order to become free and /or happy. Thank you to the creators of this beautiful and touching presentation of truth.

    • Sandra

      Ose, this is very beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏

  • Elaine

    Allowing my mood to shift just based on someone else’s words. Letting go of codependency is freedom friends!

    • Sandra

      Elaine, you are so right. Thank you for reminding me of this 😊

  • Anna

    The past patterns.
    The belief that I always do mistakes.
    Fear of joy, fear of freely expressing my creativity.

    • Sandra

      Ah yes, Anna. Past patterns. You are so right. I am a work in progress on releasing mine past patterns but I am trying ❤️️

  • Antoinette

    Everything

  • amber

    guilt, anxiety, regret and past patterns that do not serve me.
    I let go of everything that no longer serves me and my highest, healthiest self.

  • Don Jones

    Self … the person I used to think I was. I donated all the suits (of armor) to thrift stores, reconnected with everyday people, tossed aside all the roles, positions and tokens, became invisible and anonymous, … and in the last 6 months, even stopped cutting my hair! Who was that guy?

  • dcdeb

    MISERY!

  • Sandra

    I’m willing to let go of the belief that I have the answers. There was a time when I believed that I did and I time when I lost that and thus became lost; I didn’t know what to be in place of that person. Now I’m comfortable with not knowing. I wake up in the morning not knowing and it’s ok 🙏

    • Anna

      Dear Sandra, I agree with you and Cintia, not knowing as a path to freedom. But I need reflections, meditations, courage, humility. Feel embraced.

      • Sandra
        Anna, you're right and I need those things too. Thank you for reminding me of them ❤️️ I was thinking of a time - many years in fact - when I believed that I needed certainty. I needed control, a framework to hang everything on. Whenever I didn't have an answer or didn't know what to do, that framework and the certainty/safety net that it provided would crumble and I would feel anxious and not quite know who I was or what my place was in the world. I'm describing this so badly! I'm s...

      Hi Sandra!

      I thought about it this morning. I agree with you!
      I’m comfortable with not knowing. Not knowing makes me free and happy

      • Sandra

        Hi Cintia! I can’t say I feel free and happy in not knowing but I do know I am happier and more comfortable with it than I was. It’s still quite new to me. I’m learning to live alongside it and accept that it’s ok. And it’s very freeing not to be focussed on answers and instead to accept what comes up and embrace it. Enjoy your day, Cintia 😌❤️️

  • Lauryn

    Expectations….maybe easier said than done. But having these ideas in my head about how something should be that differ from what is in reality, just leads to sadness and disappointment. If I let go of that, would happiness fill the vacant space?

  • Carol

    Time wasters – computer games, television, etc. There is so much I want to accomplish and I settle for nothingness instead! Time to let them go and live out my days.

  • Mica
    Not my stuff – but I’ve let go worrying about it recently. My daughter told me that even my daughter-in-law wouldn’t want me to worry so much about leaving too much stuff behind after I die. I recently realized - they’ll just need to pay someone to haul it away! And my estate will handle that. I saw a junk collector putting furniture and pictures and stuff in his truck. I hoped he’d find homes for the stuff, but he said no one wants things like that. He thought the woman had passed and...

But I’m sure the condo staff had removed whatever they wanted by that time 🙂

    I want to focus less on me being the center of the universe and see all things as mutual attractors (all with equal pull). And rather than me being a center by which all others orbit around me, I wish to focus more on the planets that surround me.. For I am weary of focusing on my own needs. And want to live a more altruistic future especially towards those I love. I want to be less materialistic, focus on what I have rather than on what I don’t have.

  • Mary Pat

    My first thought was guilt and regret. Remorse is OK, but guilt is not good for anyone. It is like wet cement, slowly drying and dragging you down into this hopeless hole of darkness….. Remorse says I am sorry for what I have done, and will do better. Guilt is like a layer of death, a slow death kind of thing, dark, hopeless…Nope! Not doing that.

  • Chung van Gog

    In theory? Everything. In practice? I will need to see of how much I can let go.

    Here is an exercise meditation we Essenes use to “burn off” Non-life support “Karmic debt. This does require Visualizing one’s body form…[[ Noetical Image ]] ( dressed in snow white light ) but at the same time feeling the effects of the Golden flames on your ( non-visualized ) physical form, so two places at once. . It takes a bit of practice if one is not experienced in visualization BUT this is an ancient technique given by Joshua Emanuel to his new disciples so they could eventually become Karmically cleared enough so that they could assist others in the so-called “healing” methods .

    M27-T3

    Burning Karmic debts. – Exercise

    Feel that you are in this image [[ NOETICAL IMAGE ]] of yourself but simultaneously you are also your material body.

    START:

    Close your eyes, breathe deeply and comfortably and relax your material body…..[0;35]

    Your whole body is now completely relaxed. [0:50]

    Mentally see that you are in a big square room. …snow white… floor, …snow white… walls and …snow white… ceiling.[1;35]

    Mentally see yourself as a body form, standing in the middle of this…snow white… room. [2:00]

    [2: 28] ## The place, as well as the image of yourself, are created by your thoughts, and [through] the Noetical light. [2:32]

    [2:50] Now stretch your Etheric hands in front of you, bring them together and mark a point on the …snow white… floor.

    [3;15] From that mark, use your right Etheric hand and a draw line on the floor in …GOLDEN LIGHT… to a point behind you on the right side. [[ SEE, HEAR AND FEEL IT FLOWING ]]

    Use your left Etheric hand to and draw line on the floor from their …GOLDEN LIGHT… to a point behind you on the left side. [[ SEE, HEAR AND FEEL IT FLOWING ]]

    Now see a third line of …GOLDEN LIGHT…, connecting those two points behind you. [4:50] [[ SEE, HEAR AND FEEL IT FLOWING ]]

    Observe, in front of you is the top corner of the triangle and behind you, the other two corners.

    Slowly, slowly, bring your Etheric hands up and place them on your heart center forming a Sun.

    Visualize that you are taking deep breaths in the [ Noetical ] image of yourself

    [5;50] See the [ Noetical ] image of yourself inhaling and exhaling.

    [6:20]

    *** Feel that you are in this [Noetical] image of yourself but simultaneously you are also in your material body.*** [6;34]

    See and feel that you are breathing [[ WHILE ]] in this [Noetical] image of yourself. [7;00]

    From the place you’re standing flames …GOLDEN YELLOW FLAMES …. start to rise up from the floor.[7;16]

    After a while the whole triangle is on fire. [ so fire from all 3 sides ] [7;30]

    The …GOLDEN YELLOW light FLAMES surround you, [ spiral up in a clockwise rotation ] but they do not burn. They do not leave one stain on the image of yourself. You are in the middle of the …GOLDEN YELLOW light FLAMES , they do not burn you but they are reviving you. See how the …GOLDEN YELLOW light FLAMES slowly reach your head and then move on, above it.

    [9; 12] Breath [in] this invigorating …GOLDEN YELLOW light FLAMES .

    They penetrate and kiss the image of yourself, but they do not burn you.

    See the …GOLDEN YELLOW light FLAMES as they come,
    do not try to create them.

    [10:10] Let them burn what must be burned.

    You will not feel pain.

    They are burning old [ non- production ] Karmic debts, old conditions.

    They will not harm you.

    [11:02] If there is much to be burned you may see the flames in …orange colored light….. [[ or maybe red too ]]

    Otherwise they will be …GOLDEN YELLOW light FLAMES

    [11:52] If you see smoke in these …GOLDEN YELLOW light Flames…., do not concentrate on it.

    Observe until you’ll see the …sweet GOLDEN YELLOW…. in the flames and feel how they caress you and give you Joy.

    [13:50] And now take your time to feel more and more in your material body again.

    End M27 –T3

    My ex and all the trauma from the ending of that relationship.

  • Nelson

    That I have to know everything at work. It’s exhausting trying to keep up with everything. As a new hire, I’m more at ease knowing I’m doing the best I can with the information that I have right then.

  • Marnie Jackson

    I would like to let go of my expectations. They tend to drive me and to push the people around me. They also prevent me from accepting what is….
