The Pause
This month, I started working with a new holistic coaching client. We’ll call her Jill. Like many of us, Jill is having some recurring issues and situations that are unpleasant and have plagued her most of her life. She knows she is ready to finally bring them to the surface and then purge them once and for all. Wanting to escape or circumvent the pain is a natural human reaction, so you can imagine her annoyance when I said that this would be our starting point. If we don’t look at our pain, we have no idea where we are wounded, and if we can’t identify our wounds, how can we ever know where to start the process of healing them?
Let Go To Let In
I was chatting with a friend the other day about all the new blessings in her life - a new home, a new romance, a new job and even a new geographical location. We were reminiscing about all the pain that came before and how she wouldn't have been able to manifest this bountiful and beautiful life if she kept clinging for dear life to the old one. I recently had a similar conversation with a client who said she felt “as if she was dying under the weight of all her old things”. She knew it was going to be an arduous task, but her courage and desire to purge decades worth of old clothing and furniture (and old, stale energy!) revealed a beautiful, clean slate underneath. Now, in the void created by removal and letting go, she is free of old impedances and can see new possibilities for making this her dream home once again.
