Let Go of My Strings!
By Ana-La-Rai
Do you ever feel as though someone is pulling your strings, constantly tugging you out of alignment no matter how diligently you practise staying centred and grounded?
Perhaps you've experienced an instant dislike for someone without any apparent reason, and your interactions with them seemed fraught from the start. The smallest things get under your skin, and you can't quite pinpoint why this keeps happening.
Or maybe you’ve walked into a new restaurant with a cuisine you’ve never tried before, only to immediately feel a sense of familiarity. You can already taste the food like a memory of Grandma’s cooking that invokes a feeling of comfort and homecoming. Suddenly, you find yourself crying.
When these moments of intense emotion seem disproportionate to the situations that stimulated them, this dissonance can leave us feeling confused and out of control, lacking a clear understanding of why these strong feelings are surfacing within us.
The underlying issue is...
Throughout our lifetimes, we’ve encountered a mix of positive and negative experiences. We’ve formed deep connections with people we adore, or grudges with those we can't stand. We've undergone periods of growth, learning, and sometimes forgetting.
In many of our past lives, we made promises, agreements, and vows about how we would behave in the future. These contracts dictated what we would accomplish, what we would never do, who we would trust, and how we would protect ourselves, often by playing small. These self-imposed rules and restrictions can leave us feeling trapped and confined within our own lives, limiting our ability to make sound decisions based on our current reality.
Each vow we made to ourselves and declared to the universe continues to influence our subconscious today, like invisible currents that pull the momentum of our lives into patterns we’d rather not repeat. This momentum acts like a gravitational force, subtly shaping our habits. Without even noticing it, we may be hiding behind neutral colors, stockpiling food, or struggling to trust even the most amazing people in our lives.
So, the next time you catch yourself at the grocery store, reaching for yet another just-in-case pantry item when your family has always had enough, remember, this behaviour is likely not stemming from the present moment.
The uplifting news is…
By altering the energetics of our past, we can liberate ourselves in the present. We can break free from these old behaviors, vows, and fears we've carried forward from all our past lives.
In liberation, we are no longer controlled by our past. We experience the freedom to make choices based on our life now and our own free will, rather than being driven by the fears or anger of a former version of ourselves.
So, untie the strings that are pulling you around. Seek guidance from your highest self and guides. Ask, "What agreements do I hold that no longer serve me? What vows do I need to break to move forward?"
As you release the fears, beliefs, and limitations from your past lives you can reclaim your energy and intentionally direct it towards the things you are truly meant to do.
