Healing Relationships
(Self and Others)
I have been clearing away clutter from my home over the past few months.
It started in the “play room” that we never use. There were all sorts of previous “must-haves” in that room- a broken down trampoline, board games with missing pieces, a gathering of one out of two socks, a giant beanbag that had long surrendered its better days- and the list goes on.
Next were the dated furniture items. This included a kitchen turned craft table that was covered in paint and drill holes with matching wobbly chairs. I got rid of a lot of foolishness- old rugs, a broken vacuum cleaner, a broken microwave- you get the idea. It was a lot! I replaced the items that were needed and let go of the items that were only taking up space.
And by let go, I mean I moved everything into the garage, where I didn’t have to look at them.
The garage was completely unavailable for its intended use. It had become a physical blockage and safety hazard. The most surprising revelation was that even though I couldn’t see the piles of broken and outdated items, I still felt their energy.
The young tribe members and I spent days gathering all of the items from inside the house and moving them to the garage, but we simply did not have the proper tools or equipment to haul them away.
A few months later I was sitting at my computer on a routine Tuesday when I decided enough was enough. I was tired of the energy of that clutter in the garage running in the background of our home and clogging my mental space. It did not matter that payday wasn’t for another 3 days and money was tight. It didn’t matter that the clutter was out of sight. I simply could not stand the energy of the clutter another second. I was over it.
I called for professional help.
Healing
The parallel of the recent decluttering of my physical home to my ongoing energetic cleansing was made clear to me during a morning devotion. I have worked diligently to identify and acknowledge my former “must-have” limitations, outdated belief systems and broken down ideas about myself. I have cleared my mental and energetic space to the best of my ability and moved into a daily routine that allows for a more fluent and mindful flow.
Still, there is the residue from the things my previous paradigm left behind.
I am a kinder person now, but there are still the feelings that I’ve hurt due to harsh words that I’ve spoken in the past. I am more responsible now, but there are still outstanding debts from the things I thought I needed to bring value to myself. I acknowledge and cleanse my Spirit daily now, but there is still the unhealthy energy that I left behind in the form of blame and excuses.
Gratitude
Just as a kind, knowledgable and gracious young man showed up at my home with the proper tools and equipment to haul away years of my accumulated junk, so does the Universe show up with the proper people and circumstances to haul away the residue of my past energetic turmoil.
I am finally over the energetic clutter, and I now call for help from the Universe.
Prayer of Restoration
Divine Universe, I am done pretending I can not feel the hurt that my actions have caused others. Just as I feel the power of your Grace and Love, I can feel the hurt and confusion my actions have caused others.
As I move forward into the promises of my inner peace, I ask that the turmoil left in the wake of my thoughtless actions be removed from the hearts of everyone involved. I pray that the inner peace that I have found flow abundantly into the broken hearted. May it be a healing balm that removes all pain and suffering into the sea of forgetfulness.
Divine Spirit and Spirit of Humanity, please forgive me my debts as I forgive my debtors. Please forgive me my manipulations as I forgive my manipulators. Please forgive me my abandonments as I forgive my abandoners. We are all One, and we are all Love.
Thank you Divine Spirit, for meeting me in this sacred space and removing the things I do not have the capacity to remove myself. Thank you for the Mercy of your sunlight that continues to shine on me even as I make mistakes. Thank you for the Love that seals the cracks of my heart as if it were never broken.
Thank you.
Love
May the words of this prayer trickle down the streams of human consciousness as healing waters for all who seek Spiritual refreshment.
May they speak to the hearts of those who seek restoration. I pray that you are restored and healed beyond imagination.
And so it is.
Breathe.Gratitude.Love.
