TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE
"May you release all regrets and resentments."
                               (from The Twelve Gifts for Healing)


​​​​​​​“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.” 

                                        ~ Steve Maraboli

Don't we all know this? 

But perhaps we don't yet know how to release the regrets and resentments we carry.

Such hurts can hang on in our hearts, in our bones, in the recesses of our minds, in our bloodstream, in our cells. Wherever they may linger, they can impede healing. 

If you believe, as I do, that resolving all our issues and releasing all the judgments we have against ourselves and others is critically important for our health and happiness, please join me in finding ways that accomplish this.  

Here's one way:

By no means am I suggested that this activity alone can result in letting go, but it does have some power.

It may sound simplistic and perhaps even silly, but I have found that bubble blowing helps me to release lingering energy associated with hurts. 

Consider trying this for yourself. 

The idea is to step outdoors and blow bubbles.

Before each bubble creation, sincerely intend to draw up all the regret and resentful energy that no longer serves you, all that is ready to depart.  

Now, take some deep breaths. With each breath, imagine drawing stuck stuff related to hurts. Imagine that energy entering into each bubble and floating away with each exhale. Also intend for that energy to be transformed into energy that serves your growth and the greater good for all concerned. 

Whether you do this or not, let's intend to gain wisdom, compassion, and blessings from every wounding we experience on life's incredible journey.

Toward healing and peace for all,
Charlene
