Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hi Rose, There is no shame in this at all - it's very very common and I suspect is something that anyone experiences to varying degrees. What you will want to process is the fears of letting it go and of not being ready and not knowing who you will be or if you will like yourself or fears of what you might lose - and processing in also how you want to be, and see yourself being that way, and recognizing all the good that will occur and shift your focus onto that. Once that is done the " stuff " that is holding on still will move through more easily. Take care, Carol Ann Free Zensight Energy Work Ebook & Ecourse www.zensightprocess.com I think there may be a little part of me - as ashamed as I am to admit this - that might be reluctant to fully and finally let go of certain things. I think this is so because they have defined me all my life. Also, to let them go, is to let my mother go, and regardless of the abuse and regardless of my age (58), letting go of mother is never easy, but it has to be done. Thanks again, Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Courtesy Edited by Moderator - kindly edit and trim all future messages yourself. Rose, May I suggest that you tap on your resistance to finally releasing all of these thoughts and beliefs. Something like, " Even though I have this fear of letting go of... " I also wanted to say that it was very insightful of you to realize that some of these things are tied in with a (perhaps misguided) sense of loyalty to you mother. The same applies to your comments about things that have " defined me all my life. " Try to realize that these are all just stories whose purpose is to provide a context for your present experience. They explain how what seems to be in the now got there. But they're *your* stories, and you are free to change them. Nor do you need anyone's permission to do so but your own. So you might want to tap on that too. We all like to have continuity in our lives, and the history stories we tell ourselves are no exception. But when it's just plain not working for you, it's time to take the plunge. To borrow a phrase from one of my least favorite authors, " you have nothing to lose but your chains. " Good hunting!

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Courtesy Edited by Moderator - kindly edit and trim all future messages yourself. Just an added comment to this issue ... remember once you have released the " unwanted " or " negative " stuff what's left is what you want to have and hold, what's good and positive so you don't necessarily have to go into this healing process on this particular issues with thoughts of completely letting go of your mother. Keep in mind that the only part of her that you will be letting go of is the hurtful part. These comments and suggestions are made with the assumption that I am properly hearing what you are saying ... that there was abuse involved with your relationship with your mother and it is keeping you from complete healing and self-discovery. If this is not the case, then the suggestions I am making may or may not apply here. I believe it is also important to work on guilt. Guilt for not loving or not trusting or for even hating my mother. Then this can bring up the issue of protection. Being angry at her for not protecting you. You will then want to be sure to work on forgiveness of mother and self and if I am on the right track here I can elaborate but I'm going to pause just in case I've heard your story incorrectly and none of this applies. Happy to continue if needed. Hope this helps.
