7th February 2014 --

Today's energy is COMMITMENT!

WOOO big word and very scary is it not? I've heard men have always run from it, but now the women have also started. I don't blame anyone. See how its usually defined.  

Definition Time:

1: the act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action

2: a pledge or undertaking

That's heavy stuff. If this is what we are taught we are bound to run. It sure feels like a situation you are going to be stuck in. Remember the last time you told a friend, "Of course I'll come!" But at the last moment you really could not make it. Now the friend who has been counting on you is crushed. Drama ensues and you have no idea where its going! How many times have you been in this situation? And how have you gotten out of it? But the first thought is... How did you get into it? 

When we commit to someone, even just informally, its a bond. A bond that we created and is now registered in the Universe. Its not as strong as an OATH, but its there. Its hanging between two people until its fulfilled or excused or erased. It also comes in the way of things we want to do further on. Suddenly I am thinking of how Patrick Swayze comes back for "Baby" in dirty dancing. It was about living up to an almost unsaid promise he made her. {Oh I want :P } Now this has me thinking of how many promises I have made and not lived up to. Do you have any of that? But I have found a way to end this hanging energy. 

Find a silent spot somewhere. Light a light colored candle and incense if you can. Create a space you can have some quiet in. Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Look in to the darkness that you see within the closed eyes for a few long minutes. Notice how your breath has changed.  Now call upon the Goddess or God you believe in and Request them to cut away the commitments you have not been able to fulfill or have forgotten. Also ask them to guide you to go through the ones you still can. From your childhood to the present moment, request them to clear it all away. Now just sit with you eyes still closed and focus on your breath for about 10 minutes. Observe the changes in your energy, thoughts, the general feelings etc. People have noticed a pressure lifting off the shoulders almost immediately. Open your eyes when you finish and let the candle burn down. For teh next few days see the changes that are happening around you. 

THOUGHT TO REMEMBER:

Its nice to think twice before I even lightly commit to, agree to or promise to something. And its better to let go of the ones that people have been unable to fulfill.

AFFIRMATION FOR THE DAY: 

I am aware of the commitments I make.
