Yes, let's pack light and travel lighter. Below you'll find a visualization that may help you lift and release some burdens - if you have any - that hold you back.
But first, for fun, I want to show you one thing that holds back my literal packing for literal travel. Whenever I take my suitcase out of the closet, Minka leaps on, pretends to immediately fall asleep, and naps for a good long while.
Okay, now imagine in front of you a large old suitcase that's overstuffed. It's yours. In order to travel first class to your dream destination, you need to bring only
a small, ultralight one.
With the help of a kind and expert travel guide, you see what you need to travel with comfort. With gratitude and joy, you keep just that and unpack the rest.
The process has been so pleasant that the guide then helps you clean and organize your closets, drawers, and everywhere you store things. You easily release all the physical things that no longer serve you. Because your intentions are sincere and pure, all the things that burdened you in any way have been cleared away too.
Let's do our best to really release all that no longer serves us.
With commitment and compassion,
Charlene
COMPASSION: May you be gentle with yourself
and others. May you forgive those who hurt you and yourself when you make mistakes.
