Moving On

 “Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.”
―Ann Landers

The world is changing and so are we. The life we have now is a manifestation of what we did in the past and what we are left to face. Many are prisoners of the life they once had, and reluctant to let go. Clinging to what was once and could have been. But holding on to the past in the hope of reliving those moments a person perceive to be the perfect life is a sad state. Life should be a balance of living, acceptance and moving on. I know it may be easier said than done, but we must be strong to do this, and to live our lives to the fullest. We have to learn to let go of our frustrations. Let you of bitterness and jealousy. Let go of relationships who will only drag us deeper into a chaotic life. Let go of stress and the negativity. We must learn to channel our strength in the most positive way and live a happy life as best we can.

ROSEWOOD - By Jane Grayson

 Rosewood offers a station along the road, a stopping-off point to revive one's spirits and offload unnecessary luggage, aspects of life that are no longer necessary. As one climbs higher, the fewer items of baggage the better. This can also be done with Sandalwood or Cedarwood.

Sit quietly and breath gently evenly.

Allow a feeling of slow timelessness to rise up and surround you. Relax into it. 

You are walking through a wood, carrying a heavy bag.

You arrive at a clearing where you see a well with a wooden drinking cup beside you. You take some of the clear water, rest awhile, and then you move on. The sun is shining through the canopy of leaves and you feel lighthearted - and light. You realize you have left the bag behind you. "I can move on, there are no restrictions."
