LETTING GO

LETTING GO

“Every moment there are a million miracles happening around you: a flower blossoming, a bird tweeting, a bee humming, a raindrop falling, a snowflake wafting along the clear evening air. There is magic everywhere. If you learn how to live it, life is nothing short of a daily miracle. “ Rumi

Its been quite awhile since I’ve written about the unique and beautiful miracle that happened to me when I learned the beauty of LETTING GO. I was deep into reading Dr. David R. Hawkins’ many books at the same time I was desperately trying to heal my body.  I wrote about the experience in our book, The Light GAP: God’s Amazing Presence.

But it was the actual “experience” with God that I still remember so vividly. I don’t know what entity~ God, Angel, Guides, or Archangel I HEARD. It was a booming loud voice! Back then I still hadn’t solidified my KNOWING they ALL exist. I was dissolved into a ball of angry tears lying on my yoga mat yelling out loud at God. It was not a pretty picture. But, the voice said, “Get up Terry, you know how to heal, now go DO IT!” Immediately I snapped out of my meltdown and said right back, “Yes I do!” For a long time after that I just kept getting a download of information of what I should be doing, one thing after another. I found a yoga class and I’ve never stopped practicing since. But, I think the most significant was escaping out in nature in our trailer for two weeks to try out all the newness of better meditation and so much more. Doug went off to work and I had days to be by myself, go inward, and be out in nature all day long with little or no distractions.

Recently a post from Reid Tracy of Hay House reminded me of this miracle in my life and helped me relive it, which was really beautiful for me. The words of Dr. David Hawkins in his last book, LETTING GO: The Pathway of Surrender, provided answers to my questions.

But, it was Reid Tracy that was reminding me of the expression we have all heard, but perhaps not totally embrace.
LET GO and LET GOD

Something huge lifted inside me that day. I was very sick and I had plenty of work to do, but I KNEW without a doubt that I had been gifted with the understanding of how to “LET GO” of my sickness. Both Marj and I met Reid Tracy along with Dr. Wayne Dyer in Florida during a week long conference called Writing From Your Soul. At the time, I had already healed, but even as we wrote our book, I don’t think I totally understood what happened to me that day.

Reid was reminding me in his recent Hay House post about the life of Dr. David R. Hawkins. I am so thrilled that Hay House has released a new card deck called  The Letting Go Deck. I immediately knew I needed to order these cards as I relived reading his book of LETTING GO that was so significant in my life. Reid Tracy was reminding us that the expression, Let Go and Let God,  is reminding us to “detach ourselves from unpleasant, meaningless, or harmful attachments, thoughts or fears.”

These words from the deck of cards came in “perfect timing” for my personal life as caregiver for my wonderful sweetheart of a husband dealing with the frightening effects of Parkinsons’ Disease on the human body and mind. My memories of the miracle in my life included incredible memories of growth and understanding. I needed to remember as well as remind myself that I can USE this learning right now at this very moment in my life!

As you read this post I will already be on my way to Florida again, spending quality time in Atlanta with our incredible daughter in law Amanda and our grandchildren, Cade and Ellee. The absence of my son ~serving a year’s deployment in the Middle East, will be heart heavy for me. Yet there will be a richness in meaningful experiences we will  have!

As I took out my book LETTING GO, it was very healing to re-read some significant parts of it. I grappled with understanding HOW I had healed, knowing I did just that!  Even while writing our book, I could not express the words out loud, I AM a healer! I can do that now. I can embrace my practice of Reconnective Healing even though I had never even heard of it or Dr. Eric Pearl when the experience of my healing took place.

Dr. Hawkins was the MD, Psychologist and Psychiatrist of our century! We are still learning from him. Stay tuned…I have a lot more to say on this topic and I will enjoy writing from my relaxation mode in sunny and warmer Florida!

“Letting go means simply to let the feeling be there and to focus on letting out the energy behind it. The technique is to be with the feeling, and surrender all efforts to modify it in any way. Let go of wanting to resist the feeling. It is resistance that keeps the feeling going.”

Stay tuned…I have a lot more to say on this topic. All of us continue to grow in understanding. I know that now I can look back with new eyes, stay in the present and move forward utilizing gained wisdom.
