Ties that Ground us... and those that Bind us...

Being grounded is so crucial to healthy balance and success! Some of us are happy to just float through the day clueless and exist like it's Groundhog's Day.... not me Sister! I have two feet firmly on the ground and know where I am going, how I am getting there and what it will look like when I do... Then my day starts and I struggle to keep that grounding some days. Today was one of those days.

I got an early start, accomplished a few things, saw a great client who is making tremendous strides - I gave her a piece of raspberry quartz to use during meditation ... apparently there is significant pull toward grounding today! This shiny little piece of quartz is used to strengthen the root chakra during my clients meditation practice. The root chakra is the source of grounding and stability... mine is cloudy today!

I went on about my morning and kept getting distracted by my feelings... I went from yelling about some guy who ran a stop sign to crying the grocery over the apples because I was looking for coffee to have on hand for my aunt's memorial service this weekend... I know, all over the place. Then my chaotic energy attracted a phone call from a friend. She had a few questions for me about a file that we handled more than 6 years ago and then she proceeded to mention that she ran into an old flame of mine. She gave me the run down on what he is doing now...

This was one of those red friggin hot relationships that are so dangerously emotional that both people are totally consumed. Then it explodes! That was exactly what happened, with a little crazy mixed in. As my friend prattled on about this guy and his house and new wife I realized that this is the drama that I swore off many years ago. I calmly announced to her that I was grateful for her concern and that she thought I might be interested in his life, but really the only thought I had for him was gratitude - he paved my path to stability and success and this really crazy notion of happiness and bliss. Sure he was fun and I had a great time with him when we dated, but nothing was stable or grown up (even though we were in our 30's at the time). Shortly after he and I parted I met my husband. He is even and stable and reliable and comforting... He is home.

After I realized the emotional pull I still experienced surrounding a previous relationship, I called my Spirit Sister Sharon and told her we needed to have a voodoo doll ceremony. I was only joking, but there is merit in severing the ties that bind us to places and feelings that we no longer wish to embody and harbor.

Cherish and honor those ties that ground us and are healthy for our relationships. Eliminate and sever those that don't honor you!

Love and Light!
