Surrender or Letting Go?
When you hear the word, 'surrender', how does it make you feel? As I've said before, I believe the word carries a negative vibration for many since buried deep in our cellular memories, especially the subconscious, is the remembrance of battles and wars fought in other lifetimes. And thus, that word remains associated with slavery or death that often followed any form of 'surrender' - not only for ourselves, but especially for our loved ones and family, and perhaps even our entire clans, tribes, villages, or cultures.
However, if we use 'letting go' instead, usually there is less 'resistance' to the idea or word. For letting go actually gives us permission to free ourselves from something heavy or burdensome that we've been holding on to - perhaps, a person, a memory, a habit, a relationship, a way of being, old stuff, a lot of baggage, and even a 'way of life'. And underneath any or all of these is some form of fear, even if we're not conscious of it. And fear tends make us hold on even tighter, thereby ensuring and preserving its survival as an energy. And the tighter we keep gripping, the more we are hurting ourselves and the stronger the fear becomes, thus keeping us trapped in a perpetual loop.
Yet once we do finally make the decision to 'let go' and free ourselves, many times a 'lightness of being' begins to permeate our energy field for we have made room for something new to enter our lives - on many levels - mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
So this month after the intense energies of the last couple of months, it's time to finally release ourselves and begin to heal from all that was, to make room for all that 'can be' and for all that is possible in the future.
One of my dear friends has a marvelous Center in MD, www.TheSoulSource.net, where I've visited or taught over the years. She also has a wonderful blog that is always insightful and thought-provoking. One of her readers sent her the following written by Fr. Robert Gehring. I thought he summed up the essence of 'letting go' beautifully, and I am happy to share it here:
LETTING GO
"To let go doesn’t mean to stop caring, it means I can’t do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off, it’s the realization that I can’t control another.
To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to change or blame another, I can only change myself.
To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to
effect their own outcomes.
To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue, but to search out my own shortcomings and
to correct them.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes.
To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone, but to try to become the dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and love more." Fr. Robert Gehring
So I hope this month you will feel inspired and find the courage to simply, 'Let Go'. It's a gift you'll be giving yourself. And then trust that the Divine will help you as you navigate through the mists of the unknown until you once again see the light that surrounds you, that is always really there, even in the moments we don't think so.
May your heart expand to recognize and appreciate all the wonderful people, other Souls, and
incredible blessings you have in your life and whenever possible, may you share
with others less fortunate . . . be in a state of thankfulness as often as possible.

This Season of Gratitude
During Thanksgiving and this season of gratitude, I want to thank many of you, my dear clients over the years, who have trusted me to facilitate your journeys of healing and letting go . . . always necessitating that I, too, must get out of the way and 'let go' by trusting that the Divine and our vaster Soulselves and Guidance Teams know far more than we ever will from our earth plane viewpoints.
I feel blessed to be able to do this work for the highest and best of everyone concerned and am honored to be part of your journeys. After all, we are all 'works in progress', simply at different places on the path.
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Being a Reiki Master/Teacher, I feel very strongly about the effects of this beautiful and powerful modality, and know that the energies can transform our world, one person at a time. Many people were initially triggered by Reiki energy when they received attunements and went on to open up to many more of their healing and spiritual gifts. While some believe other modalities have more power, I believe they're all just individual frequencies of energies, each having its own, unique vibration, and relating differently to each person.

"Forget yesterday - it has already forgotten you.
Don't sweat tomorrow - you haven't even met.
Instead, open your eyes and your
heart to a truly precious gift - today.”

It's a compilation of 43 stories of wonderful healing and spiritual strength in overcoming various types of challenges.

Total Lunar Eclipse over Waterton Lake
Image Credit & Copyright: Yuichi Takasaka / TWAN / www.blue-moon.ca
Explanation: Recorded in 2014 April, this total lunar eclipse sequence looks south down icy Waterton Lake from the Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada, planet Earth. The most distant horizon includes peaks in Glacier National Park, USA. An exposure every 10 minutes captured the Moon's position and eclipse phase, as it arced, left to right, above the rugged skyline and Waterton town lights. In fact, the sequence effectively measures the roughly 80 minute duration of the total phase of the eclipse. Around 270 BC, the Greek astronomer Aristarchus also measured the duration of lunar eclipses - though probably without the benefit of digital clocks and cameras. Still, using geometry, he devised a simple and impressively accurate way to calculate the Moon's distance, in terms of the radius of planet Earth, from the eclipse duration. This modern eclipse sequence also tracks the successive positions of Mars, above and right of the Moon, bright star Spica next to the reddened lunar disk, and Saturn to the left and below.
Enjoy!
