2009 July Prayer Focus
The Energy of Releasing

As we go within to consciously release those blocks that keep us from our fullest relationship with God (or Divinity or our highest selves), there are two elements of which we may become aware. One is energy, the life force we have been recognizing in every prayer focus this year. The whole idea of releasing is to keep this energy flowing, to not allow thoughts and judgments to distract us from this conscious awareness of who we truly are. We’ve been taught that it is the negative thoughts and judgments that block the flow of energy, but judgment is judgment, and it’s all from the ego.

The second element in releasing is accepting that letting go evolves in a spiral pattern. What is released today will return to be released again and again. Each time you will be a different (more evolved) person and each time the release will be a refinement. Thus we can’t just dust off our hands and say, “been there, done that!” Eventually, though, you’ll look in wonder at where you’ve been and what you’ve become, and thank God, again and again, for helping you create this new you.
