The Gift of Release
by Jill Swanson


We have entered into a space of consciousness where words are becoming wholly inadequate. We all keep talking, but there is indeed little left to say. Talking is an energy drain. Which is not to say that my egoic mind has given it up completely. It is essential to move into a space of feeling and being. The words get in the way of what we are truly communicating with our thoughts and actions. We are often less than authentic.

The word "forgiveness" has given many of us pause. We have come to realize that forgiveness is not a power to be held over or granted to others. It is letting go, releasing. It is not holding onto some perceived slight or "evil." All is appropriate. There is no thing another can do to you that can change Who You Are or have any effect on you, unless you allow it. We play our parts to give each other opportunities to realize and heal.

What we realize is that our energy is being drained when we continually engage in the drama of Old Energy and judge and hold onto negative thoughts, perceptions, beliefs, habits, patterns, programs and conditioning. This is what gets trapped in the cellular memory and tissue of the physical body. It must be released for balance to occur. If we want to know what our thoughts are, we look at our life situations and what they are reflecting back to us. Forgiveness and letting go is the Divine act of releasing, of not holding on. It isn't anything we need to "do." It's a space of realization that we open to and allow.

People will continue to act and behave as they do, until they don't anymore -- and there is nothing we can do about it. Let them. Allow it. It does not mean that we have to participate with or engage them. Let them be Who They Are and whom they are choosing to be. "Forgive" them, and let them go. They are doing the best they know how to do and likely need our light and energy to see what is being reflected back to them. We are free to opt out of the drama and to choose peace. It is better to be alone (all one) and peaceful than to be in the company of others and miserable.

This is a time of retreat, surrender, release and recharge for the pioneers and Creators of the New Energy. There's no struggle when we're not trying to hold on to everything or anything. Some things that I have discovered that are exceptionally helpful with this are: Cranio-Sacral Therapy, EMF Balancing, DNA Activation, breath work, flower essences, cleansing, stillness, purified water and raw whole foods. We are always in process, always evolving, and there are always issues that will arise. When there are no more issues to arise, there is no further need to be here. As we are not solely a body, a mind or a Soul, all three must be attended to. Balance is the key.

There are many things in our lives that we don't even realize are, or recognize as, unresolved issues that are being stored in cellular memory. Eckhart Tolle calls this the pain body. The physical body is limited. It can hold just so much stuff and then it eventually needs relief. Spirit and egoic mind work in concert with the body to bring up issues for release.

The easiest way to release is to be Self aware, to recognize an issue or what used to be an issue and to let it go. A great many issues have gone unattended for so long that they are at play very subtlely. When a pattern keeps repeating, eventually we cannot help but look for its cause.

The methods I've mentioned above have been instrumental for me in getting to the core, the root cause of issues stored within cellular memory, and I share them with you so that you can discover their benefits as well. I don't believe in getting caught up in techniques and strategies, for it all becomes distraction. But there are times when body, mind and Soul need assistance in realizing balance and freedom. The help is available, Guidance is pointing us there. The only question is, will we choose to avail ourselves of this help, to "forgive" ourselves and let go?

When we set our intention, focus on realizing our Divinity and make necessary and radical (basic; of or coming from the root) lifestyle changes, the results we see in the form of consciousness shifts are nothing short of amazing. Namasté.
