Looking back over the recent Memorial Day weekend holiday, I allowed myself the opportunity to understand more about memories and remembering people and situations from the past. Some of these remembrances are happy and sweet, some not so much. But all of them we’ve stored inside like photos in an album.

How do you feel when you pull out old photographs? Nostalgia, joy, pain…?When you are done, do you close the album and put it away, along with whatever emotions came up as you looked at them—for another day, another look?

Each time we review the past and feel the feelings we had them without letting them go, we create a block within our energetic self. It really doesn’t matter if the memory was a pleasant one or one that hurt us deeply—either way, a judgment was made. These stored memories with judgments attached to them are the foundation of karmic blocks. They are wounds to our souls as well as to our physical beings.

It’s time to let go. Liberate yourself from the past and live fully in the present. All those old judgments and wounds no longer serve you. They are baggage, weighing you down and slowing your progress on your path. As you liberate and release, you become free. Color your present with joy, bliss and love!
