Seeking Freedom
It seems that almost all of us are seeking freedom and yet sometimes we don't even realize it. It's not that we want to be free of our jobs, or our relationships, or our homes, or even our responsibilities. And, yet when we hear someone - especially a loved one - say "I want to be free!" we think, "Oh, they want to be free of me, they don't want to take care of me/us anymore." This couldn't be further from the truth. Real Freedom What that loved one is really looking for...what each of us longs for in our hearts is real freedom. The freedom we truly seek is the freedom to be ourselves - to be real - to not have to hide what we feel, what we desire, or anything about who we really are. It takes so much energy to keep up our masks and shields. We discover, feel and experience real freedom when we drop the masks and shields, when we let go of the baggage we have carried with us from the past into this moment and when we release ourselves from the binds of old beliefs and conditioning that were never really ours in the first place. What if you could be honest about what you do or don't want, what if you didn't have to hide your tears or your anger, what if you didn't have to carry the weight of past traumas and hurts? Can you imagine just lifting the weight of childhood pain, past relationships, old disappointments, and whatever else just doesn't feel good and putting it down on the ground next to you? Feel how much lighter, how much freer you feel. A former romantic partner wrote me Read More
