Lightening the Load


We are in a time of unquestionably needing to lift ourselves out of past patterns.  Anything that creates a drag on this process is no longer contributing in a constructive way.  More than just spring cleaning, I feel like this is a time of deep clearing. We must clear the way and make space for a new kind of living, for a lighter form of energy to emerge and thrive.  Anything residual that is in the way of our best progress and greatest health has got to go.  This is a time when we have to remove all dead weight.  It's okay to let go of things you thought you wouldn't choose to, or thought you would never be able to.  That is the best action for this present time.  I like the word jettison.  It concisely describes my current need to clear.  The original definition of this word meant "to lighten a vessel to improve its stability in an emergency" (Dictionary.com).  Other definitions included the words "superfluous" and "encumbering."  All of these concepts are important to consider in the process of clearing.  Also, I like that the word "jet" is part of this word.  I think of the speedy jet energy that will come when old weight is released.  I am ready for lighter days ahead!
