LINGERING THOUGHTS
As humans, we all say and do stupid things. Sometimes we know right away that it was stupid, sometimes it takes a little bit for it to sink in. Then we are wondering and wandering about why, and about what “they” must think. The feeling of having messed up sets into our minds as well as our hearts. The feelings, thoughts, words and actions linger. Days, weeks, months, even years later the event comes back to haunt us.
Our minds and hearts wander in the south forty of the whys of it all. We look for answers outside of ourselves first. Then we look for answers inside ourselves, knowing the answers are there if we will but surrender to our truth. We try to recall what our feelings were, both before and after, we said or did it. We shake our heads and say “oh well”.
How do we make these fragments of thoughts and feelings go away for good? First and foremost is to let ourselves off the hook with self-forgiveness. What a wonderful thing if we could forgive ourselves as quickly and easily as God does when we ask.
Then we need to remember the higher truth that it happened for a reason. We need to remember ‘it is what it is’ and forgive ourselves some more. We need to remember that whys don’t matter, but feelings do matter. We need to wrap ourselves in a hug and accept that it has happened according to Divine Timing for everyone involved.
Through the grace of our I AM Presence, with heartfelt gratitude and utmost sincerity, we offer love and forgiveness to the universe at large as well as to the others involved in our episode. We keep in mind that our intentions set our thoughts and feelings into action. We keep our intentions as focused as possible for a victorious outcome. And every time the event comes back to haunt us, we offer more love and forgiveness to the universe. We do this over and over and over again until we have cleared our hearts and minds of the negatives and restored peace to our soul.
And when we have reached this peace, we offer our heartfelt gratitude to all of the beings in the Spiritual realms that have supported and encouraged us. We know they have held our hand while we wandered around in our little sideways jaunt as we cleared our hearts of anything that is less than Light feelings. And as a final acknowledgement of releasing these lingering thoughts, we accept that we have taken one more little step in our spiritual ascension.
