In the past, friends have invited me to attend Buddhist and Hindu services with them. In these services were included walking meditations. I found this a very interesting practice and have incorporated it into my life. I take a daily walk that is meditative or one where I am repeating affirmations. I find being outside and doing these is very powerful. The walking meditations are quite refreshing, and the affirmations quite effective. I would encourage others to give it a try. I would love to hear what other practices you might have that provide similar benefits.

Sometimes we hold on too tightly to people who were only meant to walk with us for a moment. Not everyone you lose is a loss. Your heart deserves peace... not confusion. Your presence is a blessing, not something to be bargained for. Stop watering relationships that refuse to grow. Stop breaking yourself to keep others whole. If they wanted to stay, they would. If they cared, you would feel it. Let life remove what isn’t yours. Let your heart return to its softness. What is meant for you will find you with ease. And it will stay... effortlessly.

An ego trap is when you "think" that someone is draining you, and you will blame them...feeling victimized. Being drained is a symptom of being closed off to the source. Our responsibility is to remain open and connected to the Light. Victim mentality is just an extension of the ego. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. Matthew 24:13

“She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go. She let go of the fear. She let go of the judgments. She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go. She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on how to let go. She didn’t search the scriptures. She just let go. She let go of all of the memories that held her back. She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward. She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right. She didn’t promise to let go. She didn’t journal about it. She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer. She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper. She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope. She just let go. She didn’t analyze whether she should let go. She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter. She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment. She didn’t call the prayer line. She didn’t utter one word. She just let go. No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or congratulations. No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing. Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go. There was no effort. There was no struggle. It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad. It was what it was, and it just that. In the space of letting go, she let it all be. A small smile came over her face. A light breeze blew through her. And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…” by Safire Rose https://www.facebook.com/reel/494984161124093/? mibextid=ZZyLBr What are you holding onto too tightly? When we losen the grip, and trust, we allow what isn’t aligned to leave and what is to arrive. One step, one moment and one breathe….
