To listen to this, go here
One of the things that troubles us deeply and unnecessarily is the guilt we have around things we have done or not done. Not only does it weigh us down, sometimes consciously but mostly unconsciously, it blocks the natural flow of Love which is the energy of the Universe, which is the energy of Life itself that we are expressions of.
And, because it gets in the way of Love, it prevents us from expressing the fullness of Love that we are always seeking to express, and the less we express it, the less we express it. Know what I mean? And the less we express it, the more things we do OR don’t do that makes us feel more guilt. In other words, guilt begets guilt.
This is an insidious cycle that so many of us are caught in. So, today, I am inviting you to BREAK THE CYCLE OF GUILT. And get guilt out of Love’s way. Get it out of Life’s way.
How do you do this?
Simple. First, think of some of the things you have felt guilty about, some of the regrets that are still festering away unhealthily.
Don’t try to explain or reason or justify or blame either yourself or anyone or anything else. That is the very thing that keeps you in the cycle of guilt because you are trying to explain or reason or justify something that ultimately you know you did or didn’t do INTENTIONALLY.
So, rather than try to explain or reason or justify, simply acknowledge the fact that your action or lack of action was INTENTIONAL. THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT THING TO DO. So, do it as A MATTER OF FACT. No need for blame, no need for self-chastisement, no need for JUDGEMENT. Simply ACKNOWLEDGE it as A FACT.
Now, acknowledge also that what you did, or didn’t do, although it was intentional, was also done from a place other than LOVE. This also is a FACT. FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT LOVE WOULD NEVER CAUSE OR CREATE ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT FEEL GOOD. Can you see the truth of that? can you feel the truth of that? Good.
Now that you can see that, now that you recognize the FACT that whatever you did or did not do, came from a place OTHER THAN LOVE, you are now ready to put your guilt away and ALLOW LOVE.
Guilt is the horrific burden we carry when we have not acted from LOVE. But you must understand that as long as you are not present, as long as you are unaware, as long as you are acting from your conditioned mind which is a mind full of HISTORY or YOUR STORY, YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY BE ACTING FROM LOVE.
Now, our conditioning causes us to forget who and what we truly are – we are children of Love, we are creations of LOVE, we are the expressions of THE UNIVERSAL ENERGY that I call LOVE. And as children, creations, expressions of LOVE, we are INNOCENT or as I like to think of it, WE ARE IN ESSENCE – we are the ESSENSE OF LOVE. Everything else, every story that we have about ourselves is therefore not true. Why? Because these stories have happened from a place other than LOVE and LOVE IS THE ONLY TRUTH.
So, if LOVE IS THE ONLY TRUTH, then surely you must see that GUILT has NO PLACE IN IT. Which is why it is LOVING TO GIVE UP GUILT.
SO, intend to give up guilt and ALLOW LOVE. Breathe. Breathe out whatever guilt you are aware of and breathe in LOVE. Do this as many times as you need to.
Now, when you feel the goodness of LOVE in you once more, do the following.
Take one of those things that you have felt guilty about. Place it in the energy of LOVE THAT NOW FILLS your mind and heart. Just hold it there. And ask this question:
If I had the chance to relive this event, how would I want to act?
SIMPLY ASK THE QUESTION AND ALLOW LOVE, WHICH IS INFINITE INTELLIGENCE, WHICH IS WISDOM, TO ANSWER.
It may answer in words or images or sensations or feelings …don’t presume it. Allow it to arise naturally and spontaneously.
When you feel the response, allow yourself to enjoy it and appreciate it.
You can then repeat the process with another event.
Remember, LOVE’S RESPONSE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT FEELS GOOD. Anything else does not come from LOVE.
NOW, GO LIVE YOUR LIFE IN LOVE. GO GET ALIVE!
