Remember when we were children and there were still exciting surprises in life?  If we could open our hearts wider in wonder and inspiration and emote some of our love energy, could we magically change our present and bring back the feeling of excitement about our future?

I’ve written about letting go of our fear and pain… an ongoing process because as we let go of some, more bubble up to the surface.  That’s okay, because as we do so, we get much better at it.  It’s like we can say goodbye to those old feelings, situations, lessons and we can begin to just watch them go and thank them for serving their purpose.  We can be unburdened in our now moment knowing our future now moments contain bright sparkling light.

Opening and reclaiming our lightness of heart takes the courage to leave behind old habits of mulling over our disappointments and replacing them with some new strategies for anchoring our bright new future.

Here are a few reminders for clearing the old so that we can allow the new.

• As we release old issues, we can have a physical clearing.  It’s just the body purging the old.  Find ways to help the body release toxins regularly.
• Burn a bay leaf.  It has oils and chemicals that are beneficial for changing the atmosphere.
• Laugh at our human moments.  Lighten up.
• Try to sing or hum or whistle once a day.
• Get at least 20 minutes of sunlight a day.  Vitamin D makes a huge difference.
• Take 10 minutes and breathe out everything that isn’t love.
• Ground
• Clean something
• Forgive, be tolerant, be compassionate.
• If you feel anything in your chest, it is your heart trying to open and expand.  Allow the expansion of your heart.
• Live in Love.  Be the Love.
