Last night during my SoulFire Coaching Group we did a really powerful exercise from A Course in Weight loss by Marianne Williamson. I do not use the word powerful lightly here. Disclaimer: I highly recommend doing this exercise with a group of close girlfriends where you have the option to do a burning bowl ceremony after. This exercise brings up some heavy emotional stuff that needs to be released to The Universe. The end result is your freedom from these heavy bricks that you knowingly + unknowingly carry. Here's how it works:
I was one of the ladies who did not. I cried. I felt nauseous. I was heartbroken that this lived within me. But after the burning bowl ceremony, I was able to release these things to the courageous full moon. It was, like I said, powerful. As I fell asleep last night, I surrendered these things to the Universe once more, asking for complete healing in my sleep. I woke up at 9:30 today crying. Hard. In my dream I killed off three people + since I know that this is often how our being clears what no longer serves us, I accepted. I would encourage anyone to do this shadow work. It's amazing what happens when we embrace the light with the dark. But do proceed with caution. A Giveaway In honor of this HUGE release I had last night + through my slumber, I am giving away the audio CD collection of A Course in Weight loss by Marianne Williamson to one lucky winner! Here is how you win: required*

Oh, wow. I plan to do this exercise tonight - after the children are sleeping, a glass of something by my side. What's that called? Oh, yeah: liquid courage. Amy Watson 10/13/2011 5:01pm
Thank you so much for sharing something so personal and for having a giveaway. I would love to win. This sounds somewhat similar to a release technique my friend taught me, except with this one i use prayers to protect myself, write down what comes to me to release, then individually release each one using the breathe and allowing whatever feelings come and release them, then go on to the next till you are done for the time being and then use a prayer to burn or use water to flush them away including all attachment to it.

I found this interesting when I answered the questions. It made me think and realize the things I need to work on, but also made me realize what I don't think about in my life. Thanks Megan ♥ Julie 10/16/2011 6:12pm
