10th Annual Health
The Energies of Change T
his is undeniably a time of change: Change of season, change of weather, change of schooling, change of employment, and change of COVID-19 protocol. With
change comes opportunities for growth, healing, celebration, and sometimes grief. To fully welcome change, we must be willing to create space for it to happen. No matter how much we desire change in our lives, the only way to welcome it is to release something else—something that has outgrown its mean- ing, purpose, or usefulness. Simple laws of physics dictate that no two things can occupy the same space at the same time. We understand this concept regarding physical objects, and we understand that we cannot begin a job without first ending our previous position, but we sometimes fail to apply this to energy. To welcome a new, positive belief, we must first release the one we have outgrown. To welcome healing, we must first release our fear of illness or disease.
Change is rarely easy, but there are techniques that make it
easier. Visualizing that of which we are letting go being released through our breath can be effective. Create an image in your mind, see what you are releasing, realistically or symbolically, side-by-side with what you are welcoming. With every inhale through your nose, imagine the new becoming brighter and sharper. With every exhale through your mouth, imagine the old getting dimmer and less defined. Do this until the old image has disappeared completely and only the new is in your vision.
